How Shadwell Got His Groove Back, by Waxbean (NC-17)

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

I have thoroughly enjoyed driving for my fave fandom this month, and I hope you enjoyed the recs! I could easily have doubled or tripled the numbers; I had a LOT of hard choices to make. I decided to go out with a bang.

Please, if you enjoyed the stories, leave the authors some feedback. Even if the stories are a couple years old, I bet they'd all appreciate it.

Fandom: GOOD OMENS
Pairing: Shadwell/Madame Tracy, Adam/Pepper, Shadwell/Adam
Length: oneshot
Author on LJ: waxbean
Author Website: At Skyehawke; at Good Omens Library

Why this must be read:

Good Omens is a millennia-spanning fandom full of metaphysical wit, good English sense, disturbingly wholesome children, occult slapstick, and divine/diabolic sensuality. It's also rather vanilla, and tends to focus on its most-loved OTP at the expense of all else. So imagine my delight at this story, which focuses on a very-rarely-identified-with, much less eroticized, character (Shadwell) and shows that that even a conventionally-unattractive little man with Issues can benefit from the influence of a well-mannered Antichrist and his desire to help everyone if he can. With any problem.

This is one of the filthiest stories this fandom has ever produced, and I also find it one of the most generous-spirited...in its very disturbing way.
