fuck it, I'm romanticizing underrated ao3 works now. 8,000 word fics with only 13 kudos, even after 5 months. multi-chaptered works with only 11 comments from the same 3 people and the author themself. incredibly specific works featuring OC's mingling with canon characters that only get 5 kudos. rare-pair fics. gift works that are literally ONLY for the receiver.

Hello Mr Gaiman ! In David Tennant does a podcast with, you said : "There is a project that I can't talk about right now that I'm writting with somebody I can't indentify right now -this is a terrible way of going into a thing- where we've been working on it for months and months and we didn't… We've been building everything up but we didn't know how it ended. And, finally, we were in the same physical space, actually having a conversation that wasn't on the phone. And all of a sudden we had the ending. And having the ending, knowing bit by bit just what the emotional ending of the thing was, opened up the entire thing like a door. Cause we had the plot, and we've had the plot for a while. We just weren't sure why we should care? Everything turned, and I immediatly knew what the opening scene had to be."
May I assume you were talking about Good Omens 2 ? If saw, I am super glad you found this ending. Because it broke my heart but oh my it really makes me care about the season more, to see all the troubles they can have in their relationship and why. So yeah anyway were you indeed talking about GO2 ?

this has almost 11 million notes what is this
I’ve never seen this post once in 10 years on this site
I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
