A cropped version of my artwork showing mostly thick blue and orange cloud at dawn. There is a small silhouette of a Lancaster flying upwards along the left.
A screenshot of a draft for a Good Omens AU - Underneath a page divider of a mini Lancaster the text reads as follows: Aziraphale knew no light other than that which shone from his Terry Lamp. It was barely enough to illuminate the spread of his charts, dividers and maps scattered in front of him, flickering faintly as the rest of the aircraft was swallowed in pitch black. There were small moments when it was broken only by the flicker of tracer fire or the ghostly glow of the moonlight when it had the chance to stream through the Perspex windows. The navigator’s world was built solely on darkness and quiet concentration, sealed away from the front half of the aircraft by a blackout curtain draped, and fluttering faintly and the back half by the wall of Raphael’s station. Whilst the rest of the crew looked outward into the night, watching for fighters, looking toward the engines, Aziraphale focus was buried on hyperbolic lines, flight paths and the steady ticking of his father’s old watch. He worked mostly alone, locked in a relentless cycle of calculating bearings, adjusting for drift and ultimately relaying it all back to the pilot to keep them dead on course. There was really no room for error — one wrong heading, just one miscalculation and suddenly they could be hopelessly off course and most likely somewhere in the heart of enemy territory. His position required precision at every minute of every hour, all upwards of the eight hours they should be in the air. This routine he’d settled for, it was more than just plotting fixes. The numbers never stopped, nor the relentless questions firming off in his head. What is our ETA to the next waypoint? Ground speed, wind drift? Any course corrections? He had to stay ahead of it all.
