Prompt: "I Just Had The Terrible Realization I Might Be In Love With You And I'm Still Processing What

Prompt: "I just had the terrible realization I might be in love with you and I'm still processing what that means." -for Illogical Husbands.

-Bill didn’t really ever think he would have feelings like this for another man. He even had to see two male escorts demonstrate how it would even work for goodness sake! What is he supposed to do now?!

(Apologies, I’ve been rewatching MoS again lately so they are on the brain.)

Did he really see that? :o (I'm not that far into the show, it makes me uncomfortable, which sucks because I think the acting is fantastic and I like some of the characters, but... oof.) Well, here we go!

On with the fic!

--

It wasn't sudden, that's for sure.

In fact, if Bill thought over it, he was sure that it had been building over time, in little ways. It was alarming, really, as he put the pieces together.

He had fallen in love with DI Alec Hardy.

It might have started nearly a year ago, five months after he had arrived in Broadchurch after the things that had happened back home. Bill thought that was when their friendship really started, when they were a bit more open with one another instead of guarding themselves.

No, that sounds cliche, like something from a trashy romance novel.

Really, it was hard to figure things out, but it was there now, there was something there that he knew what love, and it honestly scared him.

Bill looked over at the man, standing outside of the police station with Ellie, talking with her before they went their separate ways. Alec noticed to him, giving a small nod, before approaching. "Bill, what are you doing here?" He asked when he approached.

"Just... out for a walk." Bill shrugged. "Ended up here, it happens."

"Yes, I suppose so. Well," Alec walked past him, "you can come with me, we live near one another anyway."

Was this a good idea? Maybe, Bill wasn't sure, but he didn't mind. He followed alongside Alec, walking in silence. It was comfortable enough, but it left Bill with his wandering thoughts.

Should he say something? He wasn't sure, Alec was a hard man to talk to when it came to things like this, hell, the man didn't even like to talk about his ex-wife. Not for bad reasons, he just has trouble with more emotional stuff.

"Alright," Alec spoke up, "what the hell is on your mind? I can practically hear the gears going haywire in your head."

Bill felt his mouth go dry. Well, might as well be blunt, get it over with. "I just had the terrible realization I might be in love with you and I'm still processing what that means."

Alec stopped, turning to look at Bill. His face was hard to read, but then again, it’s never easy to tell what’s on his mind unless if he’s angry. He doesn’t... seem angry. Could be a good thing.

“It means you like me.” Alec replied after what felt like an age.

“You seem... to be taking that well.” Bill said, not really sure how he should feel about the reaction.

“I figured something was going on between us for a while.” The detective sighed softly. “Bill, I like you as well.”

Bill felt like a girder had just been dropped in front of his train of thought. “You... wait, you do?”

“I’m not sure if it’s... love, really.” Alec looked a little out of his depth right now, but he seemed like he wanted to speak about this. “But I like you, Bill. Not often that I find myself really liking someone, probably haven’t felt like this since before...” He waved about a hand.

He stared at Bill, and the doctor found it would be wise not to break eye contact. “What do we do about this?” Bill asked. 

“I think we should start slow, see how things go.” Alec held out his hand. “Don’t overthink it.”

Bill looked down at the offered hand, and took it. Alec gave a nod, and started to walk again, not releasing his hand at all.

Well.

This went better than expected. 

Getting very annoyed at posts/fics pointing out that Aziraphale nearly shot Adam therefore he's callous or heartless etc, when it was Crowley who explicitly said to shoot the child. Aziraphale tried to change Crowley's mind at least twice. With the 'intercept the hellhound' plan, and the "maybe we should wait?" question towards Crowley at the airport, hesitating to shoot an innocent child, and Crowley is the one who goes, "Wait for what?! Shoot him!" Crowley's the one who wanted to kill the Antichrist, not the angel who hasn't killed anyone before.

crowley is a demon by default hes done dubious if not outright terrible things in the name of immorality (or at least amorality). his whole reasoning for the arrangement wasnt cause uwu im secretly good its cause he didnt want to waste his time on dumb shit when aziraphale kept cancelling it out and figured might as well enjoy myself

Funday Friday - Michael as Castor/Zuse in Tron Legacy.

The WIGGLE. Kills me every God damn time.

One of my favourite performances and end up in a puddle every time I see it.

Gonna start a post with blank memes. Please add any you have on hand and reblog to spread them.

I’ve been reading so many GO fanfics lately and my biggest ick for the Good Omens fanfictions are when writers misinterpret Aziraphale’s character so blatantly. Writing him as he’s a heartless or hinting that he’s towards Crowley is so fucking annoying. Aziraphale is traumatized, he’s scared, not for only himself but scared for Crowley’s safety. 

“But if hell finds out, they won’t just be angry… They’ll destroy you.”

This is why he constantly pushes Crowley away. He’s scared of getting hurt, he’s scared of getting Crowley hurt because of something he caused. As Neil said, Aziraphale has a lot to learn but the way some people write him feels so victim blamey and it’s not ok. He doesn’t disregard Crowley’s feelings, he wants to be with Crowley but he’s just scared.

Aziraphale cares deeply for Crowley, he’s always worried about what would happen to Crowley first before thinking what could happen to himself.

“I’m not bringing you a suicide pill…”  “It won’t just kill your body…It will destroy you completely…”

(i also desperately need to see some flashbacks about Aziraphale’s preparation about the holy water that he gave to Crowley in season 2, must’ve hurt him so much so i need people to see his internal conflict)
