I like Ursula Vernon's take on it: [link]
She's a Hugo award winner, too.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Good Omens fic I love:
die_traumerei's The Sprawl of Life, first story, "Demolishing Proofs We Never Believed In" is complete. Has fun with the notion of Making An Effort.
attheborder's it's a new craze: Aziraphale and Crowley host an advice podcast. If Sheen and Tennant could be coaxed into committing podfic, this would be high on my "Pleeeeeeeeeeeease" list.
irisbleufic's Crown of Thorns. It's enormous. It's comforting.
drawlight's Salinity (And Other Measurements of Brackish Water) The bookshop doesn't recover in this one. :-( But Aziraphale does.
gallantrejoinder's when all the stars in the sky align: they are good godfathers to all of the Them, not just Adam.
dollsome's i'd like for you and i to go romancing because OF COURSE they ran into Lord Byron.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I love just about everything drawlight writes for GO.

Chiaroscuro is making me sigh right now.
Oh! And lots by leaveanote, especially Equinox and the last bit of ex libris made me legit sob out loud.

This GO fic is long, and if you have been or are going through therapy for trauma, there are parts that are rough going. But it is one of the best things I've ever read. Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach. [link]

Atropa, I sent that fic to Steph a couple of weeks ago! (Although without a judicious CW, like you provided, which I should have done.) I was consumed by the desire to have everyone I know read it right away, because it's so good. If I didn't find doing whitefont on my phone so tiresome, I'd talk about all of my favorite parts. (I'd get out my laptop, but getting out my laptop means I'm committing to writing my final papers for grad school, and I'm not quite ready yet.) But maybe I'll do that later, because it really is the best.

Oh my god, that fic is so good. So, SO good.

Definitely, but...not in a bad way? If that makes any damn kind of sense?
