Okay, as far as I can tell, oviposition has been a thing in fic for a while (I'm gonna assume SF or games or wasps or something). Good Omens fandom uses it because Crowley is the original Serpent of Eden, and snakes, at least some of them, lay eggs. It is also canon (literally the only sex thing other than New and Anathema doing it during the tornado, as one does, that is canon in either book or series) that angels and demons are sexless, but can come up with the goods if they "make an effort." Fandom has taken this and run with it, since the text does not specify exclusively human junk. So you've got two very powerful supernatural characters who are canon genderflexible (when Crowley is Nanny Ashtoreth or in female wear at Golgotha, he is not in drag), can make any reprogoods they like, and at least one is a shapeshifter. ANNNNNNNNNND THEY'RE OFF!!!
The results can be anything from hilarious to weirdly sexy to deeply upsetting, and do not always come out as the author intended.
My favorite is the comic in which Crowley pranks Aziraphale by bringing in an aquarium full of sand and ping pong balls and telling him that they're their babies and would Aziraphale mind looking after them for a while. He comes back a couple of days later to find they've actually hatched, Aziraphale is knitting them little tube sweaters, and wants to have an earnest discussion about names because while he has a few ideas, he thinks it's terribly important for both parents to be in agreement. Crowley bursts into tears.
