“I Decided Early On,” Michael Said, “that Aziraphale Just Loves Crowley. And That’s Difficult

I’ve seen a lot of wonderful analyses on how Aziraphale played up the part of Crowley, but I haven’t seen much on Crowley’s portrayal of Aziraphale. This is the angel he’s been in love with for millennia, the angel he’s watched and guarded and adored since before written history began, and finally in the very last episode we get to see what Aziraphale looks like through his eyes. 

Standing before the one thing in the universe that could actually destroy him, Crowley’s Aziraphale is resolute, unflinching, gracious to the very end. He talks about the greater good and how angels are meant to be the champions of that greater good even when it goes against how the Great Plan was written. He stands up and speaks his truth even in the face of total opposition. And when the Archangel Gabriel, the person Aziraphale has always tried to emulate, tried to impress, tells him in no uncertain terms that this is what heaven does to the people who fight for the right thing, Aziraphale straightens his shoulders and lifts his chin and says, “It’s been lovely knowing you all. May we meet on a better occasion.” And then he steps into the flames. 

We’ve seen other sides of Aziraphale. We’ve seen him be selfish, gluttonous, desperate, closed minded, we’ve seen him be just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing, but when Crowley is asked to take the part of Aziraphale this is who he chooses. This is who he really believes Aziraphale is deep down: kind, chivalrous, compassionate, brave, the sort of angel that heaven ought to be peopled with. The sort of angel who smiles even though he’s broken. The sort of angel who doesn’t mind dying as long as he did the right thing. 

Are we ever going to know what the present is?!!!

Ok but I have so many ideas for the Ineffable Husbands’ wedding/honeymoon

So the wedding itself is on the small side. They don’t really have friends in heaven and hell to invite, and their closest friends, outside one another, were humans and passed. They also didn’t want to hold back on the literal magic of the evening

It’s mainly the Them, Anathema, Newt, and a few other random humans that are of the magical variety and had made friends with the angel and demon over the years

Agnes sends a non-denomination priest, of course, as her wedding gift. He’s been waiting for this day his whole life, and he’s not going to spill. Agnes is laughing from beyond the grave

It’s an outdoor wedding, where the weather is ‘miraculously’ perfect as they do their wedding thing.

Crowley did NOT cry

Also Crowley TOTALLY didn’t put a few of his ‘dead spotted’ plants in empty seats because he totally killed them

Afterward, they end up at a small theater where the reception is, where the music is an odd mix of modern, gavotte, and Queen.

Some random woman shows up during this, but everyone thinks she’s just one of Crowley/Aziraphale’s random human friends. She brought a gift and ‘couldn’t say long because of work.’ Only when they get all the wedding pictures (a miracled camera was doing the work) did they see her and wonder who she was

Crowley and Aziraphale do their first dance to “Somebody to Love” by Queen ofc

They spend a whole year honeymooning around the globe and spend a month driving through the cosmos (Crowley brought the Bentley, and Aziraphale brought all the snacks that they had collected from their world travels).

When they get back they finally go through pictures and presents… and that’s when they see the gift from the mysterious woman.

And things get a whole lot more interesting

…his Aziraphale voice is so delicate oh my word, I’m ready to offer my life savings and possibly a kidney in exchange for a full-length audiobook

Michael, your Crowley is showing

i ate chef boyardee and began to cry bro that shit was so bad… i had noodles i could have eaten those

I want to blame Crowley for the fact the batteries are running out in my fire alarm and keep chirping at me incessantly but we know Crowley would never permit lax fire safety. Not after a certain
