#Aziraphale just wanted them to be together

[aziraphales-library]

I didn't know the fandom had librarians! This is amazing!

I read Factory Settings recently and I'd like to find more fanfics that deal in multiple realities, split realities or time travel / time loops etc. Do you know of any?

Hi! We actually have tags for these, so do check out the fics we've already recommended here: #multiverse, #alternate universe, #time travel, and #time loop. Here are more to add to the collections...

A Moment Suspended in Sea Spray by cassieoh (T)

Green filled his vision in the brief second before he instinctively tucked his head away in his coils. Crawly didn’t think there had ever been anything green and growing in Hell save perhaps a good mold behind Hastur’s knees. Cautiously, he inched the very tip of his nose out of his coils and flicked his tongue. Growing things. Soil. Apples. The oil left behind by human hands. Something strange and sharp smelling. Under it all, a smell he knew but couldn’t place. This wasn’t Hell.

Crowley has never known a world with Aziraphale. Where he's from, his counterpart was the angel Anathema. 6000 years of friendship eventually lead to them traveling between worlds until they discover one where there has never been a Crowley. But, there is an Aziraphale. They met and fall in love and with Aziraphale, Crowley finds the happiness he's always sought. A tale told in Crowley's stories to Aziraphale and flashbacks.

creatures of circumstance by attheborder (M)

Anthony J. Crowley, Jr. is the prodigal son of CrowleyCorp, the UK’s most powerful, dangerous, and controversial technology company. A one-night stand with a mysterious man who calls himself Aziraphale tips his hopeless life upside-down into a dangerous obsession. And somewhere else entirely, a girl-shaped creature is presiding over the back room of a bookshop in Soho, where an angel and a demon lay unconscious on the floor…

Endless Night by AppleSeeds (T)

Spending Halloween in an old cottage with his housemates, university student Crowley finds himself trapped in a time loop that repeats every four hours, with only the spirit of Anathema's dead witchy ancestor to help guide him. Agnes believes the time loop has been triggered by Crowley's own thoughts, and that the only way to break it is to ensure that Aziraphale, who Crowley is completely infatuated with, actually enjoys himself. Despite how flustered he gets every time he even looks at Aziraphale, Crowley does everything he can to try to make that happen. But no matter what he tries, things keep going wrong.

World Enough And Time by Stephquiem (T)

For Aziraphale, there were always two Crowleys: the First Crowley, the one he met in the Garden, the one he's spent 6000 years meeting across human history. And there is the Second Crowley, the one who comes to him across time, again and again, propelled, it would seem, by some unknown tragedy. Both, his hereditary enemy. His dearest friend. For Crowley, there is a Before, and there is an After. Before, he spent 6000 years as Hell's agent on Earth, seeing Aziraphale occasionally, working together where they could get away with it. After... After, he's drawn back over and over, like he's attached by a tether that just won't let him go. Not that he wants it to let him go. The alternative...

Smoke and Mirrors by cyankelpie (T)

“If we want the truth from him, he needs to feel safe enough to speak truthfully,” said Gabriel. “Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘The traitor couldn’t possibly feel safe while he’s in Heaven for interrogation!’ And you’d be right.” His grin widened. “But—this is where it gets really good—he won’t even know that’s where he is.” (Aziraphale is imprisoned in Heaven, but breaks free thanks to Crowley’s help. On Earth, Crowley wakes up from his pandemic nap to find Aziraphale missing. Meanwhile, two angels watch an imaginary life unfold, with all the time in the world to wait for the answers they need.) And the sequel, dealing with the aftermath: Reality Check

This post is a fic

@martinsharmony That's just what I was going for. The idea for this post came into my mind the other day, and seeing it all together, it feels like a story. A continuation of Michael and David's story, which has slowly unfolded over the last six years. It's the kind of story where certain things have become clearer only with the passage of time. Where we have Michael and David being closer than ever, and saying things like they want to do a touring production of GO, and that they'd play the roles every night if they could.

And now that we're on the precipice of filming season 3, it feels as if a new chapter is about to be written. One door is beginning to close, but there's no telling what other doors will soon open, and what the next stage of Michael and David's relationship will look like. But I truly hope their dream to keep working together comes true...

The fact that the reason crowley and aziraphale have such awful communication skills and never talk about their feelings for eachother is because for the past 6,000 years thats how it HAD to be. If Heaven and/or Hell found out that they were even friends it would risk their very existence. So they had to be very careful to keep eachother at a distance for fear of getting too close, too obvious, and letting their respective head offices take notice. They had to pretend they didnt care because it was the only way they could stay in eachothers’ lives safely.

And even though they dont really have to worry as much about that anymore, how do erase 6,000 years of training yourself not too get too obvious about your feelings? 6,000 years of fear and adherence to those rules? And if the opportunity were to finally arise to change the rules, how could you say no?

May I propose: David Tennant and Michael Sheen in Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead

Their patter would be amazing and also Michael Sheen would find some way to make it gay

aziraphale and crowley CAN’T turn human at the end of s3 because where the fuck would they go when they die? crowley’s definitely not going to heaven, aziraphale’s not going to hell, and i’m sure by the end of s3 neither of them will want to return to hell (crowley) or heaven (aziraphale), so

1. they’d be split up when they die (presumably)

2. where the fuck would they go after death?

would they lose all memory of ever being an angel & a demon and only remember the important parts of their 6,000 year long lives as little bits of their human lives? then would heaven/hell accept them once they die? but they’d still be split up, probably (crowley’s really not as bad as he likes to think, though, so maybe he has a chance at heaven? but they’d probably recognize him, even if he doesn’t recognize them). i don’t WANT them to lose their memory of the last 6,000 years though, i feel like nobody wants that, so what would the purpose of turning them human even be? they wouldn’t be allowed to be together for the rest of eternity, there’s a chance their memories of their lives will be altered, and when they die, they probably won’t even be together, so where’s the happy ending in that? the happy ending would feel.. temporary? because we’d KNOW they’re going to die, and we wouldn’t know where they’d be GOING if they do.

In season 2 we see Crowley introduce the pleasure of food to Aziraphale.

What if in season 3 it's reversed and we see that it's Aziraphale who introduces the pleasure of affection to a somewhat reluctant Crowley? I know Crowley was the one who kissed Aziraphale first, but the kiss was a last ditch attempt to communicate, not a gesture of intimacy. What if after their reconciliation Aziraphale is the one who not only gives Crowley his first tender kiss, but also gently guides Crowley into intimacy beyond kissing? I don't know if Aziraphale has ever been with another person before, in fact I highly doubt it, but as a being of love affection would come to him naturally. He could be the one to ease Crowley into hugging, cuddling, and gentle touches. Crowley, as a despised tool of satan, is definitely not inclined to tenderness the way Aziraphale is, and in an interview David once said that Crowley finds affection laughable. I think Crowley might tense up the first time they truly embrace one another, but Aziraphale would show him that it actually feels good to be soft.

The more I think about it the more inclined I am to believe this is going to be the case. Aziraphale is the one who needs to bridge the gap between them, anyway.

*wakes up in cold sweat from a hundred years long nap* Aziraphale's 1941 love realisation was a LITERAL BOMB FALLING ON HIS HEAD FROM THE SKY that he was forced to MIRACULOUSLY SHIELD THEM FROM and they both have performed so well, he and Crowley were not only NOT discorporated, but ALSO his most precious belongings, the symbols of the human part of his identity, were not harmed in the process. and it was all within mere minutes of their reunion after a major fallout. do you. do you see what I'm

devotion as a chest wound

[starryemeralds]

do you ever think about how aziraphale fell in love with crowley because of his love for the earth; and crowley falls in love with the earth because of his love for aziraphale?

i think about it often actually.
