Screen shot from Good Omens fanfic "A Star Danced." It reads:

The family went out their kitchen door into the garden where they walked through the rows of Crowley’s proud flowers, herbs, and vegetable beds, through their tiny grove of apple trees, and onto a well-worn trail that led away from their property, which would eventually lead them to one of their favourite stargazing spots. The night air was deliciously comfortable, just warm enough with an edge of mid-Summer coolness. The fragrance of various herbs and flowers, especially freesia, greeted them on their way to the trail. The distinct churring of nightjars could be heard off in the distance towards the edge of the heath where they were headed.

Above them, the sky was a blanket of stars, with the spectacular view of dense star clusters forming the Milky Way. As they embarked on the path on the other side of their apple grove, Crowley stopped to point out three very bright stars. He knelt down and put his arm around Tartan.

“There, Bug. Do you see those three bright stars?” He pointed and traced a triangle into the air. “Do you remember what this is called?”

Tartan pointed up and counted the three stars. “One, two, three. The, um, S-sum-Summer, um…triangle! The Summer Triangle, Daddy?”

“Yes! You are very bright!” Crowley exclaimed.

“Our bright little star,” Aziraphale said softly.

“I’ll tell you their names.” He pointed once again to each star. “That’s Vega, and then Deneb and right there is Altair.” He smiled as Tartan followed along and repeated the names to their baby doll, Onion.

Since the exclusivity period is over, here's the piece I made for @ourownsidefund.bsky.social Bright Star zine!!!

Crowley and Aziraphale lie together on a grassy hillside beneath a starry night sky. The Milky Way stretches across the horizon, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the scenery. Crowley smiles up at the stars, while Aziraphale rests his head on Crowley's shoulder and looks at him affectionately.

Late sharing this, but this is my piece for @ourownsidefund.bsky.social Bright Star zine, which incredibly raised more than $2k for Take Back the Night!

I went for a bit of a spin on "stars" - this is Crowley's drag alter-ego, Nebula

This was hand painted in gouache.

I can finally share my piece for the Bright Star zine by @ourownsidefund.bsky.social !

Since the theme of this zine was stars/space and the profits go towards helping SA survivors, drawing Ash from my #GoodGardenerAU was the most obvious choice for me. Thanks to everyone who helped raise 2k$ 💜

A drawing of Ash from my GoodGardenerAU in their art studio. They’re wearing an overall that is covered in paint and are looking at the canvas they are currently working on. They’re holding a brush in their left hand while the right one is brushing hair out of their face. There is a fire rose unity survivor tattoo on their wrist, a symbol that represents survivors of SA.
There are two other canvases laying around which show paintings of stars and the Pillars of Creation nebula.
On the wall behind them are drawings Ash‘s children have made for them for inspiration. A bookshelf decorated with lilies and various other plants is placed against that wall.
The wall of ceiling of the tilted roof has been replaced with huge windows which show the star-littered night sky.

A digital fanart of Crowley and Aziraphale in space. They are looking at each other lovingly, reaching out to each other with gentle hands. They stand in their true size and the planet Earth, floating between them, looks very small in comparison.
