My thoughts:

 

It’s high time I dig through my slightly-less-known and somewhat-obscured fandoms for fic. Well, not that Good Omens is really obscure, I do have fewer fics bookmarked.

Writing a good humor fic is hard. I do draw a line between crack–which is usually more absurdity for absurdity’s sake–and humor. Humor is harder, I think. I’ve read my fair share of ‘humor’ fics that just make me sort of, I don’t know, wince? Furrow my brows in confusion?

This is a lovely example of both a gen fic and a humorous fic, an irreverent look at Crowley’s not-quite-evil life.
