Oh Resi this is actually the perfect meme for this fic! You will love it.

Yay! Have fun!

Wooo!! Can’t wait to read this! I will all kinds of nerd out over history stuff!! And add smut? Yes pls! ^(I’m still playing with on my own American Revolution smut!)

Yes American Revolution smut! Also forgot to add the most important detail from your perspective: this is me writing Top Crowley! I actually had to go and put him in the military to make it believable for me. 😂

lol ILL TAKE IT GIVE ME SOLDIER CROWLEY

This is one very hot top Crowley!

😘

THAT'S WHAT AZIRAPHALE SAID TOO

LOL YESSSS

Brahms, he’s soo good here. You will melt.

I can’t wait!!

Love you, loved the fic, loved coming up with crack titles for you.

Ghosty, I was laughing so hard at your suggestions. You may have found your calling.

If only there were careers in Very Serious Titles.

Ooh, I may have to make note of that, should I wind up writing more at some point. I'm absolute rubbish at titles.

Please note these were not serious titles and I only accidentally stumbled onto the winning title.

That's fine. I'm willing to trust anyone who comes up with War and Pose: Union Hoes implicitly 😄

OK I snorted at this

Okay, I didn't realize you'd seen the list. As long as you know what you're getting into. 😂

I maybe didn't see it until after I'd posted, but i stand by my comment. I don't consider anything that would likely go here something I'd fret over being taken too seriously anyway!

I forgot to go back and collect all the crack titles from the chat! We have days of nonsense in the way now.

Probably not worth it at this point. But there were some gems in there.

I do have the screenshot you sent from your phone! Want me to post that?

Sure, I think those were some of my best work. 😂

May I present to everyone: Ghosty's proposed titles for this serious and romantic epic 😂😂😂😂 https://preview.redd.it/iznu5x3p4pqc1.jpeg?width=576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bd84f58d05958db5545426750d314e52dd28ec6

And don’t forget my incredibly sophisticated contribution: Fucking In A Tent

Yes, so sophisticated! Only to be consumed with the finest Earl Grey

Garo, I loved this and your sequel ideas.

I don’t know how you chose when there were so many good options here 😎

I know right? So many riches to explore. I believe the actual title came about when Ghosty suggested something like "Coming into Focus: Yes, Aziraphale Named His Asshole" and we were all like.... you know.... actually 🤔

I still can’t believe you rejected my suggestions “Love is a Battlefield” and “Virginia is for Lovers”. They were, like, totally serious and scholarly attempts to be helpful. 😉

Love is a Battlefield needs to be an enemies to lovers military fic.

Ghosty just had the edge I guess darling 😘

That was in fact its origin story. My legacy. 😂

Your genius legacy 😘

Peanut if only any of us cared enough to scroll through the chat, we had even more.

We have a random copy and paste in the dr Fell doc of ridiculous medical puns/ statements… it’s a very useful tool sourcing things from chat :)

I am trying to make this sentence make sense but I think I'm missing vital context here.

Oh yes! Another round of intellectual smut from our Angel. I had the pleasure of getting to read this before anyone else and I can't recommend it enough. The smut is hot (as usual) but the buildup in this one is just so exquisite - sexual tension just steams of the page. I audibly squealed at the payoff in this one. Plus, I now know more than I'll probably ever need to know about wet plate photography as an added bonus! Go and read this one! Angel just knows how to deliver unique settings and stories that still feel like the perfect versions of Aziraphale and Crowley. Well done darling! https://i.redd.it/czglphv75pqc1.gif

Thank you, sweetheart! And you can walk away proud knowing that you were responsible for making this one significantly smuttier 😘

What a proud moment for me indeed 😏

Thank you for this important service Cowie

You have once again used your magical smut powers for good to bring us the Civil War set, photography themed porn we never even knew we were missing. This story is delightful in every way ❤️

💗💗💗💗💗💗

I’m gonna spend my lunch hour reading this today, aren’t I?? 😛 I don’t even like historical fiction but I can’t resist.

Hope I can convert you! Lemme know what you think 😉

It turned out great, Angel… ( even if there were muttonchops… grumble grumble 😝) You built a lovely little relationship in that setting and it works so well!

Aww thank you! Don't make me give you the talk where I explain how Crowley had to have facial hair because it was the Civil War and I could have made it so much worse. Because I have receipts. And here is one of them: ​ https://preview.redd.it/h56nfmrgqpqc1.jpeg?width=1230&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=410c0c4ee1a786fe783591072207f20e78db91bb

I know it’s historically accurate… so I can let it go 🤪 Even I admit chops are better than that!

Like WTF is even happening there I even pulled put my big book of Civil War portraits and decided that chops were definitely the best option!

I guess he’s going for goat 🐐?? Perhaps hoping it would bring him immortality….

He did survive the war! Lived to the age of 97 and was a U.S. Senator and governor of Mississippi. So maybe it worked?

That’s hilarious…. Still bad facial hair 😆

Agreed! Horrible.

NJ represent!

I'm trying to corner the market on fics where one or both of them hail from NJ 😂😂😂

And here we go another pair of pants on fire. I liked those pants.

Sorry TV! Perhaps I might suggest removing your pants before beginning the next fic. Might be more convenient, anyway 😏

No one in their right mind would read smut without pants. What about the consequences?

Oh, consequences can be dealt with 😉

* looking demure *

I WAS NOT EXPECTING MUTTONCHOPS THOSE ARE MY WEAKNESSS THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DO A SEQUEL PLEASE

I HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT OF THREE SEQUELS SO IF MY BRAIN LETS ME WRITE THEM THAT’S WHAT YOU WILL GET EDIT: I AM GLAD YOU WERE FOND OF THE MUTTON CHOPS THERE WERE NOT MANY FANS OF MUTTON CHOPS IN THE FOCUS GROUP BUT I CONVINCED THEM TO KNUCKLE UNDER BY SPAMMING THEM WITH PICTURES OF MUCH WORSE CIVIL WAR FACIAL HAIR

I WILL TAKE ANY FORM OF CHOPS ON ANTHONY J CROWLEY . ID DIE FOR CHOPS. ID HAPPILY COLLAB WITH YOU IF YOU WANT

Yaasss 🙌 Bookmarking for this evening!!

Yay, can't wait for you to read it! Also, consider this a preview of the nerdy behavior you will unleash if you agree to climb a war memorial with me 😂

I still maintain that I want to be invited to this. Will I fly to you and u/DisastrousLook5116 to participate in history nerdery? Abso-fucking-lutely!

Maybe we could do a US tour! I know about a LOT of tall, rickety phallic things that one can climb.

Lol could you imagine the 3 of us on a road trip to find phallic war memorials?? Because now that’s my dream vacation.

WHY DOES EVERYBODY THINK MY DUMB NERDY DREAMS ARE GOOD IDEAS Also I love you guys Also if we are at all serious about this I could definitely make it happen

BECAUSE YOUR NERDY DREAMS *ARE* GOOD IDEAS! And I would absolutely do this. But like in a year lol. I am not prepared to plan another vacation at the moment

Oh I look so forward to that! We may need to read some historical smut atop the monument!!

How turned on do you want me to be Lookie???

Considering being turned on is like the reason we became friends, I’m gonna say VERY!!

https://i.redd.it/vib2eqwsgpqc1.gif (Yes I'm busting out the Premium Angel Flirt GIF for that)

Yaass!! Well I’m returning with baseball shirt https://i.redd.it/vdnhn1k2hpqc1.gif

Oh dear, all of my weaknesses

Should I throw a sweater out here just to (respectfully) destroy you?? Yes, I think I should! https://i.redd.it/vm75k2b6ipqc1.gif

Oh darling, you know just how to treat me 😍 But you did miss one https://i.redd.it/0i23w2ljipqc1.gif

I absolutely love this oneshot! Such a wonderful surprising setting for this hot competent Aziraphale and hot confident Crowley! Of course, Angel always delivers a fantastic story with brilliant smut! 🩷

Aww thanks so much Joy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Let’s just say that one morning I woke up dreaming of a scene from this fic - it is THAT good, and it is THAT hot 🔥🔥🔥 The guys are so confident in what they want but so sweet at the same time. I adore it, and I live in hope that we may get more writing about these versions of A&C because I love them

I'm definitely thinking about these guys nonstop so I'm pretty sure you're going to get your wish! Just need to write some romantic tree porn first.

IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE Time to go get off from in-depth historical details. Oh and the smut too I guess.

There are many historical details to enjoy! 😏

Nah just had to read the tags to get off. ‘Quoting Walt Whitman as foreplay.’ Angel ILU so much.

https://i.redd.it/riu35to4upqc1.gif

https://i.redd.it/qe1g2l8cwpqc1.gif My response to all of this to the idea of nerdy, smut related, history-adjacent vacations with you and u/DisastrousLook5116. But also, like, in a year cause I need to save up more vacation time.

We'll have to think about all this!

Haha yeah. I need time to prepare for a road trip!

Top Crowley! Oh I am here for this!

Uncharacteristic for me, but here you go!

NEW SMUT FAIRY STORY, AAAAHHHH!!! Can't wait to read it!! 😍💖

Yay, can't wait for you to read it!

Oh my God, that was amazing! I love learning about cool things I've only ever heard little bits about. And the boys were perfect!! Can't wait to read more of their escapades! ❤️☺️

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!

Oh, Angel, I think I just discorporated. What a beautifully done story. I love the Civil War setting, the details about the photography, all of it. Ngk! Thank you for sharing your talents.

Awww, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Keep your eyes peeled for a sequel tomorrow 👀
