Good Omens Script Book Deleted Scenes

I have just spent the last 3-4 hours scouring the internet for the 5 deleted scenes that were spread between limited edition copies of the Good Omens script book so I could print them and put them into my signed, 1st edition, copy of the script book.

Through much trial and piecing together pictures of the pages from Google Images, I managed to find and type up all of the scenes. I figured that since I couldn’t find a place with all the deleted scenes in one I may as well share what I wasted 4 hours of my life on for others who care to read the deleted scenes in one place. The only scene I didn’t type up was the 4 Horsemen scene since it’s included in every book. Considering Gaiman himself had assumed that all copies of the book would have all the scenes I don’t feel too bad doing this.

You can read the scenes here:

If the link doesn’t work, please let me know.

Also, if you find any typos that I missed that doesn’t seem like a Gaiman-esque purposeful typo let me know.

Good Omens Fic Recs

Hello, it’s Monday and I’m procrastinating, so here are some Good Omens fic recs. These are 10 of my favorites, in absolutely no order whatsoever. (Tumblr handles added only where I am sure of them and know offhand the person uses Tumblr.)

The Ark by rfsmiley (T) - Space! Environmentalism and all the complicated feelings an angel and demon might have about the earth and each other.

Instructions Not Included by Atalan (T) - Post-canon, Aziraphale and Crowley open a supernatural detective agency. Shenanigans ensue.

Rip It Up and Start Again by @kittydorkling (E) - Post-canon, South Downs cottage getting-together fic that is just so lovely.

Hot Days, Mad Blood by @noodlefrog-omens (T) - Historical Omens with swordfighting and unresolved tension.

Firebird III. Finale by htebazytook (T) - Book Omens! A pre-TV fic that focuses on the raising-Warlock era and is so smart about music, in a way that I only vaguely understand.

Getting It Right by Lhugy_For_Short (T) - A slightly different take on both the body swap and the pining-through-the-ages story. Features the best Bentley origin story ever.

The Angel Line by @reignbowbrite (E) - Part 1 of a hilarious and sweet series where Crowley channels his feelings into narrating explicit romance audiobooks.

Honor System by htebazytook (E) - Aziraphale and Crowley in the wild west, dealing with the fallout from their holy water disagreement.

Thou Knowest Us Happy (T) by Elisi - Post-canon, Gabriel goes to check up on Aziraphale and gets an eyeful. Somehow much more meaningful and lovely than I just made it sound from that summary.

The Meaning of the Word (T) by @justkeeptrekkin - Post-canon, Aziraphale and Crowley become professors at Oxford to keep an eye on Adam. A sweet and funny look at Aziraphale and Crowley’s changed (or not?) lives post-Armaggedon.

Bonus! shoot.

Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and AirBnb Superhost (G) by TheOldAquarian - Absolutely hilarious meta!fic. I love a meta!fic, don’t you? This one is SO funny.
