When crowley said ” I lost my bestfreind” do you think Aziraphale knew it was him?

Or did he think it was ligur since he got killed by holy water and Crowley had said ”old freinds” when hastur and ligur showed up at his flat, forcing him to hang up with Aziraphale?

The Season 2 Poster Details

From top to bottom :)

This is a Buddy Holly song Everyday which was originally supposed to be the Good Omens theme :)

Neil talks about it in the Introduction to the Script Book: “In the scripts, Buddy Holly’s song ‘Every Day’ runs through the whole like a thread. It was something that Terry had suggested in 1991, and it was there in the edit. Our composer, David Arnold, created several different versions of ‘Every Day’ to run over the end credits. And then he sent us his Good Omens theme, and it was the Good Omens theme. Then Peter Anderson made the most remarkable animated opening credits to the Good Omens theme, and we realised that ‘Every Day’ didn’t really make any sense any longer, and, reluctantly, let it go. It’s here, though. You can hum it.”

And there is also the Buddy Holly Everyday record! :)

Book The Crow Road by Iain Banks. The novel describes Prentice McHoan's preoccupation with death, sex, his relationship with his father, unrequited love, sibling rivalry, a missing uncle, cars, alcohol and other intoxicants, and God, against the background of the Scottish landscape

Book Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad. An early and primary event in the story is the abandonment of a passenger ship in distress by its crew, including a young British seaman named Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with himself and his past and seeking redemption and acceptance.

Important themes in Lord Jim include the consequences of a single, poor decision, the indifference of the universe, and the inability to know oneself or others.

There is book The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson. Its characters were based on criminals in the employ of real-life surgeon Robert Knox (1791–1862) around the time of the notorious Burke and Hare murders (1828). Neil said: Oddly enough, episode 3 will take us to a little stint of body snatching in the era.

There is Catch-22 book by Joseph Heller that coined the term Catch-22: situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules or limitations.

Is there only one hand or are there two? :) EIther 6 ;), or 6:30 :).

Through the window we can see the coffeeshop Give Me Coffe or Give Me Death where Nina works! :)

Azi is wearing his nifty glasses :).

Crowley is wearing his new glasses, they are RIGARDS X UMA WANG - THE STONE ECLIPSE (VINTAGE BLACK/BLACK STONES) - $435

There is the Holy Bible Aziraphale used in Season 1 :)

There seems to be a broken phone :).

The cakes behind Aziraphale are Eccles cakes :).

Azi is reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens published in 1859, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. The novel tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris, and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie whom he had never met. The story is set against the conditions that led up to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. 

Another book there is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - Neil said said that we will learn a lot about Jane Austin we didn’t know before.

And finally the Treasure Island book by - again :) - Robert Louis Stevenson, an adventure novel with pirates.

There are three geckos cuties. Who are they? Pets? Is Ligur haunting the bookshop? Who knows :).

A mysterious pamphlet, 'The Resurrectionists’ leaflet. (unofficial spoiler :)).

Also there is an old camera... mmm 🤔 Did Azi made some photos (of what? Him and Crowley, ducks? :)) Will we see them? :)

Their positions is an homage to the book covers! :)(x)

Will update this as fandom discovers new things! :)❤

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

I decided to rewatch season 1 of good omens because the first time was, well *gestures vaguely towards kidnapping* and got till the graveyard

I'm SCREECHING at the fact that it's the second scene Crowley's been in and already they've got themself into deep shit??? They come in all slutty waist and flash bastard hair, talk big about times are changing and head office loves me and just INSTANTLY Hastur and Ligur use his own words against him oh Crowley you poor fucking DISASTER-

#good omens #good omens mascot

[avelera]

Where the heck is Satan in Good Omens S2?

And could we perhaps find evidence of him in the places where the furniture used to be?

For reference:

Hastur & Ligur, 1.1: "All Hail Satan." "All Hail Satan."

Crowley, 1.5: "I never asked to be a demon. I was just minding my own business one day and then… oh, lookie here, it's Lucifer and the guys."

Adam Young 1.6: "You're not my dad and you never were."

Satan, 1.6: "No, no, no!" (He promptly dissolves into black ash and vanishes. Immediately after, Aziraphale and Crowley look at their no-longer-flaming sword and tire iron as if not entirely sure why they're there.)

Crowley, 2.1: "Do you ever think, what's the point? ... Heaven, Hell, Demons, Angels?"

Crowley 2.2 (circa ~2000 BCE): "Satan and his diabolical ministers..."

Gabriel 2.3: "I remember when the morning stars sang together and all the angels of god shouted for joy.” (emphasis mine. Lucifer/Satan was the Morning Star. Why the heck is morning stars plural??)

Edit: Shax 2.6: “I demand that you hand over both Gabriel and Beelzebub as gifts for Satan, our master.” (Could debunk the whole theory, might not only because she seems pretty low-ranked and could be going through the motions even though he's gone, but we'll see. Including to get all the evidence down.)

... And I think there's some other S2 references to higher ups and "Our Lord" by Shax supposedly, but I'm too sleep-deprived to go combing through for them (I'd be much obliged if anyone else could grab any other exact quotes that mention Satan by name or seem to refer to him in Season 2.)

Let's first get the Doylist explanation for why Satan might not be around out of the way: Satan was the Big Bad of Season 1. He's been dispatched. Furthermore, he's played by the most likely very expensive Benedict Cumberbatch, so he's not likely to be back in a hurry if it at all can be avoided, and alluding to him at all might just create confusion with viewers who will then expect to see Satan.

(Below the cut: but what if there's more to it than that?)

But as others may have seen with the, "Metatron is actively editing the Book of Life in S2 and that's why things are weird," meta, there's quite a bit of speculation going around that something fucky is going on in S2.

However, while I agree that some points in S2 are certainly fucky I'm not convinced on all or even most of the supporting evidence. Most of the explanations have a Doylist counterpoint like "It's just bad writing," or "They just wanted to bring back some actors they enjoyed working with," or, "The film crew just made a mistake," or "They just forgot that bit of continuity." After all, half of the original writing duo is tragically no longer with us, so there's going to be some level of story drift regardless.

While in general I find the, "It's not that deep," explanation more plausible in most instances, I'd be a very poor disgruntled English Major indeed if I made sweeping claims that the wallpaper being blue is always a coincidence. It's muddier with TV because there's so many proverbial cooks in the kitchen and plenty of human error to go around, but I'd equally never claim that I think Good Omens S2 wasn't a labor of love by those who worked on it, and certainly there's evidence that care was taken in its production, so everything that's off being a mistake is also not a sweeping generalization I'd want to make either.

Which is my way of saying that I'm not convinced by the Metatron meta but I think some of the ideas there are on to something. I don't think it's plausible that a writer would in S3 reveal that in S2, the heretofore largely off-screen character of the Metatron was actively editing the story as we went with the heretofore only mentioned once, never seen, and immediately denounced as a joke Book of Life. BUT, there is some fucky stuff happening that I won't say was the result of some Genius Mastermind Writer deciding it was a good idea to actively write badly and provide stories with no payoff, but I will consider that some of the apparent continuity errors might not be so accidental as they seem, because this was a labor of love and at least on this count, I don't think that Neil was necessarily that careless. Or at least, I'm more inclined to look for clues in places where I can see logistical choices being made, rather than in more subjective claims like "This bad writing is meant to be Bad Writing and therefore a Clue." Because writing is hard even under the best of circumstances, especially in TV and having lost the aforementioned half of a beloved writing duo.

Moving on! Thing is, if we're to believe that there's some sort of mystery hidden in plain sight that was introduced in Season 2, then it did not pay off yet. This makes me a little suspicious of the overall claims that there was a hidden Season 2 mystery, because a good mystery really should pay off within the text, and expecting the reader to keep their unsatisfied suspicions in their heads for 3-4 years for a later satisfying conclusion is... optimistic at best and downright sloppy at worst.

Unless, the mystery spans the entire show. If the clues we're seeing are meant to pay off in S3, and we assume some level of competence, then more likely these are series spanning mysteries that will be satisfying when one is able to watch all three installments. And that means, if there is a mystery in S2, we should be checking back with Season 1 to look for the roots of it.

Which is what brings me to Satan.

What on Earth happened to Satan?

Is Satan still around?

Now, my theory would be much more satisfying to me, personally, if Satan's name was never spoken in S2 but alas, there is the Book of Job episode and I believe some other mentions by name, mostly by Shax? I'd love some backup on that. But I very deliberately don't count demons just saying things like, "Our lord" or making vague referrals to the powers that be to be references to Satan because if he's vanished, someone could have easily filled the power vacuum or there could be an empty throne room somewhere and everyone is just going through the motions (or he's become the Sandman Lucifer who fucked off to lie on a beach, which would be delightful. Anyway).

When Hastur and Ligure showed up in 1.1 they specifically said, "All Hail Satan," and Crowley was shown to be an outsider that he did not return this familiar call-and-response. Yet no one in Hell in S2 uses the All Hail Satan greeting. The references to Satan are few, even in Hell. There doesn't seem to be a lot of fear of Satan either, but more around other higher-ups like Beelzebub, Duke of Hell, who appears to be the highest ranking person we see in Hell?

And also interestingly, Crowley and Beelzebub are both lamenting how pointless all of this seems. Kind of interesting for two individuals who still despise Heaven too and, presumably, took Satan's side once long ago when they all Fell. The political fire has definitely gone out of them, which can be plausibly attributed to the Apocalypse failing and/or the two of them falling in love with their Angelic counterparts, but it's also just kind of weird that suddenly they both really don't see the point in any of these conflicts that once defined their existence.

Perhaps, and this is where I go out on a limb or ten, because Satan isn't around anymore?

Is there no longer a hand at the wheel in Hell, reminding everyone of their loathing of Heaven?

Is there no longer someone actively above Beelzebub, telling them what to do, such that they have the freedom to sneak away and pursue a romance with an archangel and not have their boss show up to stop them the way Gabriel's did?

Did Adam, when he made Satan not his father but more importantly that Satan never was his father, undo more than we realize?

Because that's the kind of Gaiman mystery that I can wholly believe is lurking in plain sight, because Satan was a big deal in S1, he was the Big Bad! It's in the text! The damned book series is built on the idea of a satirical Antichrist take on The Omen. All Hail Satan is one of the first spoken lines of dialogue in the book. Satan is kind of central to any story that's going to revolve around a battle between Heaven and Hell!

And yet... he's barely mentioned this season. And demons suddenly don't remember what they're fighting for. How odd.

Maggie and Nina's actresses also played nuns of the Satanic Chattering Order of St. Beryl. If there was no Antichrist, isn't it possible that neither of those women would have become Satanic nuns and might, instead, own a coffee shop and a record store somewhere?

If there was no Antichrist, isn't it possible that through some convoluted series of events, Madame Tracy, a witch, fell afoul of a demon or managed to become one herself?

Isn't it possible that once you open the door to the ripple effects of a Satan who either never existed (though the Fall still happened) or who only existed up until at least Job, but who was never Adam's father, that some other fucky things could happen too, like Aziraphale suddenly not being fond of alcohol? This continuity detail is much more of a stretch but it is such a plot point in the book that Aziraphale loves to drink and S1 that I do find that particular continuity break particularly vexing and it's one I side-eye the most in terms of "not sure if sloppiness or a Clue".

Anyway, point is:

Satan is curiously absent this season and technically, he was unmade or at least unmade as Adam's father last season. If something is fucking with the timeline, I think that on-screen, very visible event deserves some scrutiny over and beyond vaguely alluded to, off-screen fuckery by the Metatron with no in-text confirmation at all.

There's a lot of weird and bad writing in S2, sure, but some of the continuity breaks do, admittedly, feel too big to be simple oversights and I don't think it's entirely conspiratorial to think something more might be going on and if such a mystery is going to span multiple seasons, we should look back to S1 for the seeds.

It is possible that the unmaking of Satan has had ripple effects that explain some of these continuity changes and some of the cheeky casting of S1 actors in new roles as perhaps not entirely without in-story justification.

So in my mind, the question I have no answer to, but that might deserve some scrutiny going into Season 3 is:

How much did Satan never being Adam's father alter the timeline?

Edit: And here's one last spooky quote to consider: “I remember when the morning stars sang together and all the angels of god shouted for joy." - Gabriel's weird prophecy / quoting of God

Why single out the reference to morning stars plural? Lucifer is very famously the Morning Star, you can't accidentally allude to morning stars in this context without referring to him, you just can't. So what the fuck is going on with this Biblically sourced quote that sort of alludes to Satan, but not by name, and makes the reference to the Morning Star plural?? And even though it is the original text, apparently, it's still a choice by the writers to really highlight the line about morning stars and give that line to Gabriel to say in the present too. Something is sus.

#good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens meta #spoilers #IMO THIS is a hidden in plain sight mystery #because Satan is a MAJOR figure in the world of this story and he's just suddenly GONE #there's TOTALLY reasonable Doylist explanations #but at least if we're looking for where the furniture used to be then Where the Heck is Satan is a reasonable question

[ghosty-schnibibit]

alright, so, now that i am not an incandescent ball of fury:

i was extremely disappointed with go2 and downright angry about the way it concluded. i've already read some excellent posts by other lovely people that articulate some of my grievances really well (which sadly i can't link here or the site will eat this post entirely) but i want to add my own to the pile. if you enjoyed the season then more power to you, but i very much did not.

after this post i won't be complaining about s2 again or really posting anything about it at all, positive or negative, and will probably just block the tag entirely. like i said in my much shorter vent post last night, i just want to get all of my negativity out in one go and then pretend it doesn't exist. with that out of the way:

the pacing was terrible. the plot went in circles around itself and the mystery was handled so poorly that it somehow managed to be too convoluted and too simple at the same time. we spent five entire episodes wondering what was going on only to have it resolved by an exposition dump of about five minutes. the mini-sodes ground multiple episodes to a halt and squandered the majority of the season's runtime on pointless fanservice that cheapened some of the previous season's most emotional moments, runtime that could have been better spent setting up the gabriel mystery or developing literally any of the new characters introduced. speaking of which,

the new characters were pointless. nina and maggie were given no characterization beyond being pale expies of az and crowley, and the fact that a substantial part of the b-plot revolved around them makes this even more apparent. i do not remember the name of the angel pretending to be a constable and i don't care enough about them to look it up, they had literally no plot significance whatsoever. same goes for the processing demon from the third episode. the flip with jax from being a somewhat neutral character to a big bad in a party city wig felt like a failed attempt to recapture some of what made hastur and ligur work in the previous series.

gabriel and beelzabub. their relationship was unbelievable and clashed so heavily with their previous characterizations. i called it from the first episode and dreaded its conclusion right up to the finale. they feel like an ill-thought parody of ineffable husbands pulled out of an enemies-to-lovers crackfic. every romantic moment in the last episode was insipid and cloying, and them getting a consequence free happy ending retroactively cheapened the stakes of the previous season. it honestly felt like the writers just wanted to mash their dolls together.

aziraphale's character was assassinated and crowley was basically just there to play the hits. both of them were flanderized to the moon and back, but poor aziraphale got the worst of it. all of his character development from the previous season was thrown out the window in order to give us the big angsty conclusion set-up for a third season. they were both utterly flattened and i feel so bad for michael and david, they were clearly doing the best with what they were given but what they were given was just plain bad.

most of the humor and warmth from the book and the previous season were just… gone. no narrator, only one or two comedic asides from the title cards, a total of maybe three minutes of queen music across the whole thing (and most of that a piano cover), and a whole lot of little stylistic touches that went by the wayside and left the world feeling a bit hollow. also the comedy in this season was much more reliant on a "hey, aren't the characters acting so silly right now? aren't they failing at looking/acting normal? isn't that funny?" style of humor than on the wit and subtle satire of the first.

it was nothing but set up for a third season. learning this after finishing the season did not make me feel better about any of it, but it does explain a bit why it felt like all set up and no pay off. i have zero confidence about the ship being righted in a potential s3 that we likely will not see for many years (if at all, i'm already hearing murmurs about the show getting axed).

so that's basically it. i'll reiterate that if you enjoyed this season then i have no beef with you; your opinions are your own and, while i have no desire to have a dialogue about them, i respect them. but the original good omens book was very personally meaningful to me, as was its adaptation in s1, and this poorly thought out continuation has disappointed and saddened me to the point that i feel like i don't want to engage with the fandom in its wake.

#go2 spoilers #good omens 2 critical #good omens 2 negative #i know the ship dealio is where i disagree with people the most #bc i'm seeing a lot of people who have a lot of the same critiques of the pacing and tone but like beez and gabriel together #to which i will simply say i'm sorry your otp is my notp and move along my merry way like the fandom veteran i am #and with that i shall disappear into the void again

Hello! Can you rec me some angst fics where aziraphale betrays crowley somehow?

Hi! Here are some fics in which Aziraphale betrays Crowley. Mind the tags!...

Ambush by HopeCoppice (T)

Crowley and Aziraphale are having a lovely afternoon in St James' Park when they're suddenly surrounded by angels. Please note that there is a moderately detailed description of the effects of a holy blade on a demon, so proceed with caution.

Bitterness of Grief by EdosianOrchids901 (M)

When Crowley and Aziraphale run into Archangels, Crowley prepares to fight despite the odds. He’ll do anything to protect Aziraphale—but Aziraphale betrays him. Is there any hope for their relationship or is it all over?

a songbird with a new track by boughofawillowtree (T)

Prompt: Heaven manage to convince Aziraphale that Crowley has never loved him. He was only ever trying to make him fall. They present him with some kind of false evidence to this - maybe a recorded conversation where Crowley admits it, that they've managed to fake somehow? Aziraphale is heartbroken - and furious. He goes home to his unsuspecting demon - and proceeds to violently attack him. Crowley is too stunned and hurt and completely unprepared to defend himself. Aziraphale is all righteous(?) rage and devastation and vents it ALL on Crowley. When it's done, Crowley's badly hurt - physically and emotionally - and Heaven admits what they've done, laughing about it. "Mission accomplished - he'll never want anything more to do with you now." Aziraphale tends to Crowley's injuries, so apologetic, so gentle. Crowley is quiet and subdued and in tears, so very hurt. You choose if he's able to forgive Aziraphale, or if it's all over between them.

Two Evils by indigo (M)

How do you pick the lesser of two evils? And how do you live with the choice you have made? Aziraphale - even now, after all this time, after all the abuse that has been heaped onto his poor corporation, tortured then healed, tortured then healed, over and over again, even after all of that, the thought of the angel is the one thing that hurts him more than anything. Like a spear through his chest. Like a molten poker through his heart. Because he was stupid, wasn’t he? Stupid and naïve, guileless and gullible. Trusting. Him, a demon, the Serpent of Eden no less, falling in love with an Angel of the Lord and, even more pitiable, believing the angel in love with him...

Fluctuat nec mergitur by Katinka01 (T)

"Ligur stands in the doorway. Ligur stands in the doorway, surprised, soaked to the bone, and alive. Holy water destroys demons. There is no way around it, no questions, no pleading. Just a drop and you’re a goner. A puddle of goo. And yet, Ligur is standing there, not a scratch on him, confusion getting overtaken by anger, even though the water hit him fully. Which leaves only one option. It isn’t holy water." Aka: what if Aziraphale gave Crowley regular water instead of holy, but Crowley doesn't find out until he is facing down Hastur and Ligur.

Italian witch trials

Triora is a small village located in the region of Liguria in Italy, the town is known as the “Italian Salem” because of the famous Witch’s trial occurred there in the 16th century. It was 1587 when after two years of famine the village leaders and the elder’s council decided that such a tragedy was the result of the evil doing of a bunch of local women, all accused of mingling with the devil. The accused women were mainly prostitutes or poor women emarginated in the Cabotina, a district populated by meager people located outside the town walls. Nobody complained when a bunch of wretched women without a penny were accused of witchcraft, but things quickly changed when the accusations spread like oil and invested the wealthier women of Triora’s society.

Genoa sent over to Triora Giulio Scribani, a former local magistrate, nominated special commissioner for the case. Scribani sent thirteen women to the prison of Genoa and raged throughout the area opening new cases and causing innocent women to die. Genoa, the Inquisition, and the Church itself tried to intervene and to stop the trials but Scribani went ahead; in Triora and neighboring villages such as Andagna, Bajardo, and Montalto Ligure the deaths of many innocent people were recorded. In 1589 after two years of persecutions the trials were closed by the Inquisition, little is known about what happened to the women that were sent to Genoa, but dozens were the women imprisoned, and those who did not burn to death, died from the torture they endured. Historians agree in saying that the reasons behind the accusations, were possibly that local landowners wanted to rise food prices to increase their income causing people to become unable to buy food to sustain themselves and their families. Blaming the death of hunger-stricken people on witchcraft was a perfect way out.

Today the town honor the memory of the events with a museum dedicated to the witch hunt, trials and witchcraft, but the geographic area is still connected with its mysterious and magical past.

The heraldry symbol of the town is Cerberus, the infernal hound, the name Triora in fact comes from the Latin Tria Ora which means three mouths. Triora’s main church, the Collegiata it’s believed to be constructed on a previous pagan temple, a Fanum. Evidence of earlier pagan cults is also represented by an ancient menhir situated in the Mezzaluna Pass. But the area is full of places considered witching spots, natural spaces where it’s believed that withes organized their sabbaths, like the lake Lagodégnu, the field Ciàn der Préve, the fountain Campomavùe and the nearby walnut tree. These places, with the ancient Cabotina, can still be visited today and recall to the primeval traditions of Italian witchcraft. The village also organizes an annual festival dedicated to witchcraft and paganism.

Safeguard

@flashfictionfridayofficial prompt - "seal it tight"

“I am not very pleased with this idea, you know,” Aziraphale said in a severe tone. He didn’t enjoy being short with Crowley, but at the moment it was that or let his voice shake, and he couldn’t allow himself to be afraid.

Crowley gave a little shrug, watching curiously as Aziraphale put down plastic drop cloths. “I know. I know. But what if we need it? You’ve gotta admit, we might need it.”

“I don’t have to admit anything I don’t want to.” It was a poor argument, and Aziraphale was quite aware of that. He hastily continued before Crowley could point out the downsides of denial. “That said, I agree that it’s likely a good precaution. That does not mean I have to be the slightest bit happy about it.”

“I’m not asking you to be happy about it, am I?” Lips pursed, Crowley passed him another drop cloth. “Just wanna make sure you’re committed.”

Aziraphale gestured to the row of three thermos flasks, lined up on a table in the rented hotel room. He then gestured to the drop cloths, the water jug, and the wetsuits they both wore. “Does it look like I’m committed?”

“Well, yeah. It does.”

“Then do stop questioning me!” Aziraphale’s hands shook as he fussed with his wetsuit, making sure everything was sealed tight. This couldn’t harm him, of course, but it was best to be careful. “Let me check your suit again. And get your helmet.”

Hissing softly, Crowley picked up his full face motorcycle helmet. “Aziraphale, I’m not even gonna be in the room when you make the holy water. I’ll be over there, in the closet. This is total overkill.”

“Yes, well. The point is that we are aiming for not killing you at all.” Aziraphale checked Crowley’s wetsuit carefully, frowning at it with as much sternness as he could muster. The wetsuit obediently made itself even more waterproof. “Don’t you know how awful I’d feel if even the tiniest drop of holy water got free and harmed you? I’d never forgive myself.”

“Manipulative bastard,” Crowley said fondly.

“Mhm.” When Crowley leaned down to kiss his cheek, Aziraphale snatched the motorcycle helmet and put it on him. “There. That’s much better. Now, into the closet you go.”

Crowley gave a heavy, put-upon sigh that sounded very odd through the helmet. “You’re okay, got everything you need?”

“I have everything I need.” Aziraphale pushed Crowley into the closet, closed the doors, and sealed them with a miracle too.

“Aziraphale!” Crowley yelled, his voice muffled on the other side of the door. “Really? Really?”

Aziraphale patted the door in reassurance. “I’ll let you out as soon as I’m done, dear boy. Do be patient.”

Trembling, he went back to the table. Careful not to spill a drop, Aziraphale split the jug of water between the three thermoses.

This really was unpleasant, but necessary. Crowley’s previous supply of holy water was gone, used to destroy Ligur. And although it seemed that their old Sides were pretending that Aziraphale and Crowley didn’t exist, that could change at any moment. Better to be prepared as they settled into their new life.

Chest tight, Aziraphale performed the blessing. The water, now holy, looked entirely innocuous. But it now had the potential to kill his best friend.

Getting increasingly lightheaded, Aziraphale capped the thermoses, screwing on the caps as tightly as possible. Once sure they wouldn’t leak, he sealed them in a biohazard transport container.

He took that outside and placed it in the car he’d rented, ignoring the odd looks from passerby. It seemed they didn’t think his wetsuit and helmet were very stylish.

“Aziraphale!”

“Almost done!” Aziraphale called as he stepped back inside, although it was difficult to get enough air to answer. Oh dear, he really wasn’t feeling very well.

But he cleaned up the drop cloths, cramming them in the bathroom’s rubbish bin. He took off his own protective gear, set it in the shower, and then closed the door.

Only then, still breathless, did he let Crowley out of the closet. He turned Crowley in a full circle, inspecting the wet suit for any water droplets, and sighed with relief. “Oh, good. Your suit isn’t at all contaminated. You can take it off, now. Everything’s okay.”

And then Aziraphale began to hyperventilate. He clutched at the wall to steady himself, trembling. His trousers, shirtsleeves, and socks seemed inadequate to guard against the sudden chill.

“Ohshitohshitohshit. Aziraphale? What’s wrong?” Crowley shimmied out of the wetsuit, tossed his helmet down, and caught Aziraphale by the arms. “Did something go wrong? Are you hurt?”

“Not hurt,” Aziraphale gasped, unable to get any air. “I’m fine, I’m just… I…”

“You’re just having a panic attack, looks like.” Scowling, Crowley pushed him to sit on the bed. It had been covered in drop cloths too, and couldn’t be at all contaminated. It still gave Aziraphale a jolt of worry. “Easy, angel. It went fine, I’m fine, nothing to worry about.”

Aziraphale shivered, catching Crowley’s hand. He held on tight, focusing on the solidity, the steady presence beside him. He and Crowley had been in each other’s lives for thousands of years, after all, and his mere presence was enough to calm the worst fears.

So perhaps it made sense that the very worst fears were related to losing Crowley. It would be like dying too.

“I’m right here,” Crowley said softly. “It’s okay, promise.”

Aziraphale’s panic eased after a few more minutes of hyperventilation, and he managed a weak smile. “Oh. That wasn’t very fun.”

“Nuh. Glad you’re okay, though.” Gently, Crowley kissed his cheek. “C’mon. We’ll enchant the rental to follow my Bentley. Let’s go have some celebratory drinks.”

Aziraphale wasn’t entirely sure he felt like celebrating the creation of such a deadly substance, but he did feel like having drinks. And although he still wasn’t pleased at having holy water anywhere near Crowley, knowing they could defend against Hell really was a relief.

Okay I’m on another thought train and you are the designated person to travel with me on these trips. So. Consider. Reverse omens, right? Classic. Sometimes it’s all the angels and demons flipped, sometimes it’s just the husbands. But consider. Reverse omens but ONLY ineffable bureaucracy gets switched. If anything I think this has the possibility to be the MOST interesting variation of this au because, like, if only Aziraphale and Crowley are switched it changes some things but they’re like…middle to upper-middle class in terms of ranking? Not much about the structure of how things work in heaven and hell changes. Everyone gets switched? More variation but arguably too many moving parts and characters to keep track of. Just Beelzebub and Gabriel (or as Beez would probably called according to our headcanons Zuriel. And …whatever Gabriel is called in this. Any thoughts?) get switched? Throws the whole system into chaos! Like here’s how I see it. Season 1 Gabriel was a total asshole. No doubts about it. Heaven was institutionally fucked up and half of it was probably his fault. Beelzebub though? I’ve always had more of an impression that hell was bad because it’s, y’know, hell. Not that Beelzebub themself was an awful boss. Like aside from killing Eric that one time and yelling a bunch they actually seem like a pretty fair boss. Just evil because that’s their job. So like in this universe hell would be like…infinitely worse. But heaven? I feel like it would actually be substantially less fucked up with Beelzebub calling the shots. The other archangels and the metatitty would likely still cause problems as always but I genuinely don’t think it would be as bad. Crowley likely has a bunch of trauma now so oops but like Aziraphales boss is pretty chill so he likely isn’t as messed up as usual. They probably do still have that firm belief in Armageddon and all that but there probably less “we’ll kill you if you don’t go along with this. pick a side Aziraphale” about it and more “Look man I’ve been ignoring you and my brothe- (yes I’m bringing ssiblingzz shit into this. You probably know my brainrot well enough by now to have guessed I would.) Crowley’s shit for millennia I can’t do that any more. It’s time to fight. Please stop being stubborn I don’t wanna have kill you you’re the only bitch I respect up here.” (Beelzebub has always seemed more aware of Aziraphale and Crowley’s situation than Gabe so I kind of think in this situation they’d actually be the type to turn a blind eye to it?)

I do have more thoughts but I need to make food so enjoy this for now and share any of your ideas. I’ll probably be back soon with more.

OOOOOH WAIT YOUVE GOT A POINT THERE- I think Gabe would be some demon like perhaps Camio (from googling, he seems to be "Demon of persuassion and communication", which seems very up his alley, and his Wikipedia article mentioned him being leader of a bunch of demons, so it makes sense-), and he'd treat Hastur, Shax, and Ligur like he treats Uriel, Michael, and Sandalphon. Beez would for sure be dry, and tired, but I think ze'd be a pretty good boss too- the other Archangels may treat zir with an actual respect! ze might also give Aziraphale some slack for interacting with Crowley, since a) it's zir brother, and b) ze might understand how he feels 👀 Demon!Gabe (Cammy?) tho, he'd smell more of plastic-promises, be more manipulative and conniving, and maybe even be more in his element, cuz being a demon doesn't take a "I'm smart and mighty, follow me" mentality, it takes an obey-or-die mentality. I mean, "t-o-s-t...e. TOAST!!" put great emphasis on that ADHFH- (also him possibly being considered as Lucifer's brother? and fellow starmaker with Angel!Crowley?? SO MANY ANGST OPPORTUNITIES-) however, he would probably be extra with keeping track of the intentions of Crowley's miracles, and yeahh poor Crowbro may be kinda frucked up even more-

I think once he sees how Zuriel actually cares about him and sees him as someone other than a big scary demon, as an actual friend and companion who understands him, he puts down his guard and fight-or-flight, and changes for the better with zir. (maybe he didn't particularly enjoy having to manipulate and scare others into doing what he'd been ordered to do, but had to in order to survive? or maybe he and his possible brother team up and are conniving little shits, whatever you think is best ^^)

THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL OF THIS WITH ME I LOVE YOUR HEADCANONS ADN STUFF SO MUCHVAHFJDHG

Anyway, I said I was gonna write something based on this post, and damnit, I'm making it so.

Warning: human au, being lost in the woods during a storm, beardziraphale my beloved, Aziraphale is not what he seems

He/him pronouns for Aziraphale, they/them for Crowley

On with the fic!

--

Crowley was going to find out who planned this stupid company retreat thing and wring them around the neck by their own, stupid necktie! They were very, very sure they knew exactly who planned a four day weekend up in the mountains for 'company bonding time', and they were going to face the wrath of one AJ Crowley, they swore!

If only they survived the night, that is.

The day had actually been rather beautiful, really. Crowley didn't mind being out in nature, considering that plants were one of their favorite things. They had hoped to use this trip as a good excuse to explore flora and such they weren't used to, and to maybe do a bit of berry picking.

Maggie had even gotten in on the idea and they had planned to wander off the trail to an area known for berries.

Except their stupid bosses decided everyone needed to be in groups instead of one big one, and to go down different trails instead of the main (easiest) one!

Maggie was at least with Nina, so she'd be fine. But Crowley was stuck with the worst people they knew at work and they had a feeling this was done on purpose for the reasons of 'improving work relationships'.

Gabriel could go and suck a lemon.

Still, the hike had been enjoyable once Crowley put in their headphones and followed behind the annoying members of the office. They would often stop to take pictures and even do a little recording on their phone of some of the animals they spotted.

Not much team building or whatever was happening, but hey, it wasn't too bad. And at least Crowley had been smart and prepared for the hike, unlike Hastur and Ligur, and poor Shax was not going to last in those shoes. Furfur was only slightly better than those three, but for fuck's sake, he was obnoxious about it.

When they had sat down for a break and lunch, that's when things took a turn for the worse.

Crowley should have been paying attention, and really, this was on them, with their headphones in and all, and their need to not eat with the others. But during the break, they had not noticed they were abandoned.

With an annoyed groan, Crowley had tried to follow up the trail to catch up to them, but it took over and hour for Crowley to notice that, well...

There was no sign of them.

Or anyone else.

And they had tried to turn around, but somehow in their panic had gotten themself lost and that was embarrassing as fuck.

And now they found themself without a clue where to go or what to do.

It was darker now, the sun was nearly gone, and Crowley still couldn't find their way back. And there was, of course no signal so they couldn't call anyone for help.

They were about ready to just sit down and wait for help, maybe even build a fire, someone would be bound to see that, when they noticed something in the distance.

Further into the growing darkness, they could see a few specks of light, set in such a way that they had to be windows. A cabin? Maybe a ranger's station? Crowley didn't know and didn't care, they broke out into a run.

Which resulted in them tripping over something in the dark as they got closer to the lights, crashing hard into the ground with a cry.

Their foot hurt, as did their knees and hands from the fall. Shit, shit, shit, could it get any worse?!

A crack of thunder echoed through the forest and a drop of something cold and wet touched Crowley's cheek. Followed by more, and more, and then it was down pouring.

"Fuck." Crowley grunted as they tried to get up, hissing as they tried to walk, but their foot hurt like a bitch. Still, they pressed on. The lights were on and getting brighter with each painful step they took.

Until a third joined the two lights, longer, with a figure blocking some of the light. "Oh! You poor dear, hurry, hurry!" Called a voice into the rain and darkness.

Somehow, this voice seemed to give Crowley a bit more pep in their step to make the distance between themself and the cabin before them. They got up to the steps before stumbling, only to be caught in big, strong arms, covered in flannel.

"Goodness," said the voice, "you're soaked to the bone! Come inside, I've got just the things for you that'll have you right as, well, haha, right as rain."

Crowley blinked a few times, blinding by the warm light as they were helped into the cabin. It was dry inside, and so very toasty against their soaked, freezing skin. They let out a sigh as they were sat down in a soft chair and finally looked up at the voice's owner.

And then their mouth went dry before becoming very, very wet.

The man before them was both so very rugged and so very beautiful. His hair was a brilliant pale, curly and soft, his beard a similar shade with small streaks of silvery gray in it. He looked soft in the middle but clearly was a man of strength, with thighs hidden behind form-fitting jeans that had Crowley swallowing.

His hazel eyes were sparkling and kind, and his smile was so sweet as he put a hand to Crowley's face, brushing away some of the wet hair that hung limply in front of their eyes. Crowley absently noticed that the touch felt cold, maybe from the rain?

"My, my, aren't you a sight for sore eyes." The man chuckled. "Let me get you a towel and some clothes, dear. Just sit by the fire and warm up, alright? You're shaking like a leaf!"

Crowley hadn't noticed, but they were practically vibrating from the chill still deep in their bones. "Y-yeah, uh, can do that, sure." They mumbled, swallowing again.

"Good." The man smiled and stepped away, out of Crowley's line of sight as they sat in front of the bright, hot fire in the cozy looking fireplace. They struggled a bit, but toes their boots off and stretched out their legs to let their soaked feet warm up, their poor right foot still hurting. It didn't feel broken, but it still stung.

They sat there quietly, glancing around in their seat. The cabin was rather large inside, decorated with many bookshelves full of odds, ends, and lots of books. The walls didn't have much in the way of art, minus a few framed things of what looked to be an old street corner and a beautiful garden. There were even smaller frames holding photos, but they couldn't make them out from here.

No dead animals mounted anywhere, so their savior, the handsome mountain man, might not be into that. Something smelled good though, they hadn't noticed it before, but it smelled like cooked meat and veggies. Maybe a soup? Good weather for soup, Crowley would love some right now, they hadn't eaten much, didn't think to pack a lot since the hike wasn't going to be an all-day thing, they had stuff to do back at the resort they were staying at.

They were also thirsty, having finished off their water a while ago. They were still in wet clothes and their scratches and scraps hurt.

"Here we go!" Came the voice of the mountain man. "I've got you a fluffy towel and even a change of clothes! I'll take care of your old ones, don't worry."

"Uhhh... thank you?" Crowley turned, seeing the man approach with a small pile of things. He handed them over before turning around, putting his hands to his eyes. Crowley looked at him funny before realizing that he was trying not to look if Crowley was going to change.

Crowley felt heat come to their cheeks as they quickly tried to change out of their clothes, best to get it over with. They were down to their underwear, and threw on the shirt they were given, another flannel, that they practically swam in. It felt cool to the touch. They decided they were fine without the pants though.

They took the towel and started to ruffle up their hair to dry it. "Thanks, sir."

"Oh, no need for sirs. Just call me Aziraphale!" The man said, back still turned to him.

"I'm Crowley. You can turn around now."

Aziraphale did so and smiled, but frowned as he noticed something. "Dear, you're bleeding."

Crowley looked at the towel, where they had accidentally bled from their palms, their knees still had blood on them too. "Oh, yeah, I took a nasty fall trying to get here. My foot hurts too, I think I tweaked it."

"Oh, that won't do. I'll be right back." Aziraphale moved to a small area of the kitchen that Crowley only just noticed, a kitchen. He opened a cabinet and pulled out a box. It looked old, from a few decades ago, but was clearly marked as a med pack.

Aziraphale returned and sat down before Crowley, gently taking their hand in his own cold ones. He looked at the scrapes, frowning, before opening the kit and started to clean them. It was silent as he did this, but a comforting silence.

Crowley took this chance to study the mountain man. He was really nice to look at, which was odd, Crowley didn't usually go for guys with beards, not normally their thing, but damn if they wouldn't mind giving this one a chance.

Fuck, they must be exhausted or catching a cold or something, what the hell are they thinking?

They decided to just look at the fire as Aziraphale cleaned up their wounds and then looked at their foot. "It's alright, just a bit swollen, an easy fix! Let's get you to bed and have you lay down, that'll help with the swelling. And once you're down, I'll get you some food, the stew is just about done."

Crowley just nodded and let Aziraphale help them over to a large bed near the fireplace, huh, was this cabin just a one-room thing? Like their studio apartment? They did see an area where there was a door with a small sign on it, labeled W.C. A bathroom, alright, yeah, similar kinda thing.

Aziraphale sat them down on the bed, and it was so strange to move away from him. He felt so cold when close, but then Crowley would instantly feel warmth when Aziraphale was away. Curious.

They got themself laid down and sighed, letting Aziraphale fuss over them, putting their foot up on pillows before covering them with an old, handmade quilt.

"There we are, nice and comfy, Crowley." Aziraphale smiled. "You rest a bit, alright? I'll wake you when it's time to eat."

"Are you sure?" Crowley asked.

"Very, it's quite alright. When you're eating, you can tell me what happened that led out to my neck of the woods." He said, brushing hair from their face again. Those fingers were like ice, but it was comforting, oddly enough.

Crowley sighed softly again, starting to close their eyes. But just before they finally succumb to their exhaustion, they swore that for a split second, just a fraction of a second...

Aziraphale's eyes were completely hollow, but the smile was still so sweet and warm.

I love a good ghost story.

Good Omens killcounts:

Adam (I) kills a lion with a flaming sword.

Hastur kills Sister Beryl by pointing at her.

War actually kills no one in person so I'm not gonna count her.

Adultery kills Agnes by setting fire to her.

Agnes kills ... a whole village of people.

Crowley shreds a potted plant. Probably.

Crowley runs over a pedestrian. Possibly.

Crowley, funnily enough, kills more people than War in a very similar manner, and since we didn't count her, we don't count him either (plus, "everybody has miraculous escapes" according to him)

Ligur feeds Eric 1 to Dog.

God kills... everyone, including that one unicorn (that's on you, Shem...!)

God (?) kills Jesus. Either her or the romans, I gueds.

Aziraphale kills his executioner by.... *checks notes* dressing well?

Crowley blows up the Nazis in a church.

The mailman kills himself to deliver the mail.

Adam (II) kills the whalers via Kraken. Not sure if this counts as a kill by Adam or the Kraken.

Hastur kills Eric 2 and Eric 3 for telling him Crowley invented selfies.

Hastur kills the stop motion bunny in the stop motion movie. Yes, I'm counting that. It's the most graphic death on the show.

Aziraphale kills Crowley's will to live by refusing to go to Alpha Centauri with him, but I don't think we're counting that.

Crowley kills Ligur with a bucket of water over the door.

Shadwell kills Aziraphale via exorcism summoning circle.

Crowley accidentally kills everyone on the M25...

Hastur drowns the callcenter people in maggots.

Crowley drives Hastur through a ring of fire and ignites him.

Death kills everyone in the airbase...

Aziraphale sent that solider to god knows where.

Pepper kills War with Aziraphale's sword.

Brian kills Pollution.

Wensleydale kills Famine.

Newton kills the atomic bomb launch computer. Which doesn't count but the poor boy is never included in anything so I thought he'd like to be on this list.

Adam (II) defeats Satan? I don't think he's dead, so we're not counting this.

The Kraken ate the head of trade administration.

Hastur sticks the little fat demon into the bathtub.

In conclusion: Agnes probably killed the most people, if we assume that not too many people on the M25 actually caught fire or if we don't count those because they get revived. Otherwise, it's probably Crowley....

Or, you know, God, but we all knew that, that's kind of a plot point in the show...

"When the Morning Stars Sang": Seraphim Lucifer Morningstar, his gaggle of doting Angels, and The Naive Dominion Crawleigh (and maybe his Cherub friend Aziraphale too)

“I remember when the morning stars sang together and all the angels of God shouted for joy.”

Now, I'm not a fan-fiction writer. In fact- this is really a rough concept as all. But I like it a lot! Maybe in the far future I'll turn it into a fanfic. I really want to draw it out though (once my new drawing tablet arrives). Maybe just character designs, mini comics, etc... I call it: "When the Morning Stars Sang..." This would be the overarching story/idea/BLAH:

Timewise, it takes place before Crowleys fall and before the great war

Lucifer Morningstar, the very first angel, on the outside, is this big calming presence. He's kind, obedient, a good listener and the slighest bit of a prankster (I headcanon he was the one who came up with the idea of scaring the cherubs with the idea of "extreme sanctions"). He's the leader of the main heavenly choir called "The Morning Stars"

But secretly...Lucifer is growing resentful. He's tired of listening, smiling and nodding, being picture perfect and doing exactly as God says. He has issues with the great plan and feels as though he could do it MUCH better than God could.

He's always followed around by Beelzebub (Head planner of things called "Insects". Their favorite is the "Fly"), Hastur (Head planner of "Amphibians", and has a strange liking for fire), Ligur (Head planner of "Reptiles", and is very tired of people lumping him and Hasturs groups together), and Dagon (Head planner of "Aquatic Vertabrates, and was the inspiration for the fishy odor). Their dynamic is similar to "The Them", Lucifer being the leader and the others following what he says. They have sweet moments.

They've been secretly collecting Angels, bringing them to Lucifers side. They'll be by him through thick and thin.

Then there's Crawleigh.(I like to think his name was actually "Crawleigh" but the demons poor spelling turned it to "Crawly") Bright eyed, excitable, very blunt, optimistic, a little clumsy when it comes to words, a teeny bit mischevious but still good. He just..well it's just...whenever all the different departments come together to discuss different plans, as well as the great plan, there's always that Red-Headed Astronomy Department Dominion asking all the right questions at the wrong time.

Hastur, Ligur, Beelzebub, and Dagon don't like Crawleigh. They agreed with him for the most part, but he hated the way he could just asked out loud and blurted things out. Meanwhile, the four of them and Lucifer had to slink around in the corners of heaven to discuss their plans and bite their tongues at these big meetings. They were also jealous...

Because Lucifer looovedd Crawleigh. He loved his personality and energy and found him rather funny. They hung out all the time. Lucifer always slipped Crawleigh some extra Honey and Manna at lunch. They had races around the office together (to the disdain of the Archangels) and Lucifer aaalways listened to Crawleigh rant about stars. Lucifer always whispered his own questions and thoughts about Heaven as if it was a secret between

Crawleigh looked up Lucifer was slowly gaining Crawleighs trust. But he wasn't telling him about his plans. He just liked having him around really.

Crawleigh then meets Aziraphale as we see in the show! He learns of Earth and becomes discouraged. He does try and go to God to talk about his questions...but he couldn't even make it past the Metatron. They argued for hours back and forth and Crawleigh was sent off with a strong warning.

Aziraphale sees the whole thing. He does his best to keep Crawleighs spirits up throughout the days, as well as discourage him from asking such questions again. They hung out often and talked about different things that would happen on Earth. He showed Aziraphale Nebulas and stars...Aziraphale showed him music and plants. They were happy...and maybe a little flirtatious too.

But the Archangels...they don't like this. They know of Crawleigh and all his questions and they tell the Metatron. Aziraphale is scolded for hanging out with such an Angel. He gets demoted down to a Principality and is told not to speak to Crawleigh again. He's heartbroken but...he can't disobey.

Crawleigh is heartbroken as well. His true blue friend is just...IGNORING him! Treating him like everyone else. He's not having a great time in Heaven at all. His stars aren't as shiny and his smile not as wide.

Lucifer and his four friends see this and use it to their advantage. They finally let him into their plans, grinning when acted act out, encouraging him to ask more questions. Crawleigh is dragged into the wrong crowd...

The "Big Day" then comes...things happen...words are said...swords are drawn...plans set in motion...and Crawleigh truly learns the consequences of what happens when you hang out with the wrong guys...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THATS IT! MUAHAHAHAAAAA!

I've been jumping up and down thinking about this and I think it's wonderful!

Did I put too much information? I really just wanted to braindump all of it before I lost it to my poor memory.

Once my drawing tablet arrives in the mail I'm definitely going to try and draw some stuff for this!
