(POV Crowley's Houseplants.)
There were Rules:
First - names are chosen by Him and if He doesn't choose them, they - the houseplants - simply do it themselves. Every time a new plant appears, she gets a name. No reusing, no changes. Every time a plant disappears- well. That's not the point now.
Second - Help is essential between co-residing houseplants. Bigger plants shelter smaller ones, small ones make pacts with the weed to help the surrounding plants. The Silent Ones aren't part of this agreement (except for special circumstances).
Third - Don't. Have. Spots.
________________
This experiment I thereby dedicate to Hilda, my dear ficus plant who's suffered much under my reign of (incompetent) terror and who is STILL STAYING ALIVE (to suffer through more of it).
Also on Ao3. (And I should mention I edit the Ao3 version more often when I find a typo xD)
(#1 houseplants - like, 5 times already
#3 gardening -5.10.
See? A great book for all amateur gardeners! :'D)

Fallen ~•A Good Omens Fanfiction •~
//In order to celebrate the confirmation of season 3, here is a Good Omens fanfiction!// An angel has fallen. Six thousand years ago, when Earth was only some wild, unexplored territory, God sent the first humans on Earth. With them, an angel, a protector. But anything wasn't as God had planned, and angels, hundreds of them, fell. An angel had fallen. Their memories were erased, none remembered who they were. They only knew it was because of them. The angels. And they were hateful. Not all of them, though. //This is a Good Omens OS with my own AU, so don't bother if it's not the same as the original story, it's normal.// {The characters and original universe belong to Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the art belongs to me.}Complete
Trails To Happiness
Dean saved Sam from an abusive John Winchester when they were young, and took his baby brother to Bobby's where they were both raised into adulthood. The two boys have a happy life with their respective and intermingled families, but one day darkness falls upon their doorstep in need of defeating. See how the wee Winchesters got their fairytale endings the first time around and what they'll do to keep their new lives after the fact. How much would Dean really do to protect his family? ---- Eric Kripke and others own the characters. I did not make the art or take the pictures on the cover but I did make the cover itself. I don't own any of the art, pictures, or music that may be featured. I own the writing. No AI used (published pre AI explosion). Do NOT use this to train AI. Please do not copy or post to another site or app. Castiel and the other angels (and Chuck) are human, but most (or all) of the demons and supernatural creatures are the same. John Winchester is more physically abusive than what has been canonically confirmed. I've never written Supernatural before, so please have mercy. This is my 7th published story (Feb 18, 2022) Mature for canon-typical violence and gore. Main Warnings! Abuse, neglect, and alcoholism. Destiel (Dean+Castiel) is the main ship, but this story mainly focuses on Dean. Approximately 71,104 words! Enjoy!Complete
Waiting
Crowley has lost himself ever since his best friend left, alcohol and reckless late night drives being the only things that might distract him. Aziraphale, on the other hand, doesn't regret leaving. Sure, he misses Crowley terribly, but Heaven is his home, right? ••• Hello! My goal is for this to be pretty angsty, but I can never seem to write angst without solving it in the same chapter. Let's see how I do!
Take These Broken Wings And Learn To Fly
"Why are you doing this?" Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be. "Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands. "No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?" It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'. Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see. "Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me." "Why?" He won't answer that. He can't answer that. "Don't ask stupid questions." ~oOo~ Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards. Warning for blood and injury, aftermath of physical violence, drinking as a coping mechanism, symptoms of depression - heed the tags!Complete
The B in Bentley (Good Omens)
"Since the Apocalypse had been avoided, the bond between the angel and the demon had grown closer. For the first time in 6000 years Aziraphale...felt something for Crowley. He didn't know what the strange feeling was when the ginger-haired demon was around, but - he was an angel, for Gods Sake. His kind used to be caring and loving, whatever or whenever." Aziraphale begins to question the Great Plan and its purpose on love. According to this, a demon and an angel aren't made for each other. When Crowley finally shows up at his bookshop and tries to confess his feelings for the angel, he breaks up. Leaving an angry demon and a very sad angel. Not knowing what they gonna do. Little do both of them know that these weren't exactly the commands from God herself...Complete
Tickety-Boo (Ineffable Husbands Week 2019)
As the title states, this book will be used for prompts for the ineffable husbands week. They will most likely not be in date, but I will make the effort to have something for each prompt. I doubt each chapter will be very long but they will all have a minimum of 1,000 words. (This is the SFW variant of the challenge/activity because I cannot write smut to save my life, therefore the NSFW version would be a waste on my page) Word Count: 25,970Complete

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES: ROOTS OF DESTINY
2026 -------- Welcome to Neighborvillie! A strange, but wondrous town that is the home of the Plants that serve as the protectors for humans on earth with their strange, unexplainable powers. Many times, the Plants had protected the humans against the forces of zombies, but unfortunately they have once again returned. Due to a lack of forces, the L.E.A.F agency (The forces of plants that fight against the zombies) invite any plant with a mail box to join the war against the zombies. Specifically, three of these invitees are three friends: Rookie the Peashooter, Spooky the Fire Peashooter, and Dezda the Nightcap. Together, they decide to take the L.E.A.F exams to join the battle for Neighborvillie. What they don't know is that once they agree to join, their lives would never be quite the same...
Let The Games Begin - Good Omens
Tbh this isnt that good yall should go read my good omens one shots those are better "They'll leave us alone... for a bit." That's what Crowley had told Aziraphale, and Aziraphale had trusted him. How could he not? The angel and demon pairing had been best friends for over 6,000 years and Crowley's voice was just so convincing. But oh boy, was he wrong. Mere weeks after the failed Armageddon, Heaven and Hell grew restless. They felt cheated out of a much needed war- a war that the angels should have won. After many days of arguing, Heaven and Hell shockingly came to an agreement- they would host a series of challenges, games if you will, to prove which side was better. When both Crowley and Aziraphale refuse to participate, Heaven and Hell punish them with something so awful that the boys wish they had just stayed on their respective sides and followed the Plan. Will this punishment bring the demon and the angel closer, or will it tear them apart for good? Story length: 12,193 WordsComplete

Notes: Y/N will be depicted as female and Crowley will be depicted as male. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes. I drew and designed the cover. Thank you to @bookdork_ and @fusciamtndew for introducing me to Good Omens and for being references for Y/N's parents. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you ever seen the yin yang? The two swirls intertwining, yet never blending? Somehow, it's so tranquilizing, so beautiful. Polar opposites working together to create harmony and beauty. There is no grey line, there is no mixture, there just is. Yin cannot be without yang, and yang cannot be without yin. Whether a universe... or a person. Enter Y/N L/N. She's troubled by a haunted past, old ghosts dragging her back. Striving to outrun memories, she moves to London with a scholarship to Queen Mary University. Rapidly running out of luck, she stumbles upon an old bookshop, the only peaceful place in the entire city. You already know who owns it... Don't you? Sacrifice and loss, disappointment and regret. Growth and rebirth, kindness and love. It all balances out. Something lost, something gained. Will Y/N and her two slightly suspicious new friends make it out unscathed? Doubtful. But what's a story without pain?Complete
