#aziraphale looking at Crowley with love in his eyes

[mimisempai]

The angel you are

Summary

Aziraphale takes a reluctant Crowley for a walk in the snow, and Crowley is even more reluctant when he sees Aziraphale throwing himself into the snow to... make an angel. Worst of all, Aziraphale wants Crowley to do the same.

No way.

Unless there's more to this childish gesture.

Just... you know... them.

"Angel, remind me why we have to go out in this cold?"

It had snowed heavily into the night and the cottage and everything around it was covered in a thick white blanket.

Crowley pulled the red scarf tighter around his neck and shivered as the angel replied, "After spending the last few days feasting, we could both use a breath of fresh air. So stop grumbling and come walk with me. I promise you won't regret it."

Aziraphale held out his gloved hand to Crowley, who took it, but again made his displeasure kno

After only a few yards, they were in the middle of the orchard when Aziraphale suddenly stopped and exclaimed, letting go of Crowley's hand, "There! This is perfect."

"Perfect for... Angel! What's wrong with you?!"

Aziraphale had just let himself fall onto his back in the snow, flailing his arms and legs. 

Then the angel carefully got to his feet and, after brushing the snow from his clothes under the demon's stunned gaze, pointed to the ground and finally replied, "I made an angel."

Watching the shape of the angel in the snow, Crowley shook his head.

"What was going through your head?"

Instead of answering, Aziraphale nudged the demon lightly and said, "Now it's your turn."

Crowley shook his head vehemently.

"Out of the question. Nope. I will not lie down in the snow."

"For me?"

Crowley swallowed, because when Aziraphale took that tone and looked at him like that, with his eyes shining and his cheeks rosy with cold, he knew he couldn't resist. After thousands of years, he still couldn't.

Aziraphale stepped forward and planted a light kiss on his lips before continuing in the same tone, "Please, indulge me, my dear."

That was the coup de grâce, and with a sigh, Crowley dropped to the snow and, at the angel's urging, made the same movements he had just made.

Aziraphale then helped him to his feet, having dusted the snow off Crowley's clothes himself, took his hands in his own and kissed him before saying, with shining eyes, "Thank you."

"Can you tell me now why we had to do this?"

Aziraphale turned to the two angel shapes side by side on the snow and said quietly, "To show you."

"Show me what?"

Aziraphale released Crowley's hand and, removing his glove, raised his hand and placed it gently on the demon's cheek, caressing it tenderly with his thumb.

He said softly, "To show you that you're still an angel."

Crowley swallowed, his throat suddenly tightening, unable to respond as Aziraphale continued, "There is no need for white wings, for gold, for heaven."

The angel's hand slid from the demon's cheek to his chest.

"There you are, still the angel, the star maker who captured my heart in the middle of a starless sky."

Crowley placed his hand on Aziraphale's and asked, his voice slightly hoarse with emotion, "Why today?"

"Let's just say it was spontaneous and because I wanted you to be aware. That I know the angel that you are."

Crowley suddenly remembered.

The courtyard of Job's house.

"I know you."

"You do not know me."

"I know the angel you were." 

"The angel you knew is not me."

As if following his train of thought, Aziraphale continued.

"I don't like the idea of an angel I would have had in a memory of naive infatuation. I like the demon Crowley, who is still an angel at heart. I love the angel you are now."

Crowley, unable to find the words, let his body speak and, cupping the Angel's flushed face between his hands, kissed him passionately.

The kiss lasted until they had to pull away to catch their breath.  Aziraphale then wrapped his arms around the demon's waist, holding him close, and the two remained entwined for a few more moments, gazing into the snow at the reflection of their angelic silhouettes.

I would like to thank @aduckwithears for posting this gif.

And making me look at how aziraphale is looking at Crowley 🥹🥹🥹

The little smirk!

I love them

[beaulesbian]

Enough to make you believe in true love.

[beebopboom]

do you ever think that maybe just maybe Aziraphale might finally get to tell their story

like he was so eager to it in season one until Crowley stopped him

and it’d finally get to be this big pivotal moment in front of everybody - heaven, hell, and humanity

and most importantly Crowley who wouldn’t stop him this time because he needs to hear it - needs to hear that they do last forever

Youre gonna hate the end of episode 6

If you want any fanfic recommendations lmk

AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY, BOTH OF YOU GET YOUR ASSES BACK IN THAT BOOKSHOP AND MAKE UP RIGHT NOW

[procrastiel]

All I’m saying is this:

Neil created s2 to set up everything that needs to happen in s3.

He literally orchestrated an event for us (much like the ball) to see in the next season. So yes, I do believe there are Clues hidden in s2.

[guess-i-do-art]

Behold:

the Goobers

[illegalthespian]

I made Aziraphale and Crowley in the Sims for funzies-- I couldn't help myself!! Look how cute they are!! CC credit in the tags! <3

[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.

[acheemient]

I'm calling it now: we are getting a flashback of Crowley's Fall in Season 3.

[an-unraveling-unknown]

I know I've possibly posted far too much about good omens s2 already and I offer my apologies but I need to yell something after unashamedly watching the entire thing for the fifth time;

deep inhale you lovely sillies you sad poor schmucks you FOOLS (Crowley and Aziraphale) STAND THE MCFUCK UP AND DO THE FORSAKEN APOLOGY DANCE, BOTH OF YOU.

SLOWLY APOLOGY DANCE INTO THE NIGHT WITH YOUR ARMS WRAPPED AROUND EACH OTHER SWAYING TO ROMANTIC MUSIC SOFTLY PLAYING IN THE BACKROUND STARING DEEP INTO EACH OTHERS EYES AS IT STARTS TO RAIN AND YOU SAUNTER UNDER AN AWNING AND CONTINUE THAT DAMN APOLOGY DANCE AS NIGHTINGALES SING ETHERALLY TO OPEN AIR AND YOUR EARS ALONE.

DO IT

[theaethernetconnection]

THIS.

Neil gaiman said it himself--the kiss wasn't the proof of love, and it wasn't to make this relationship canon to any viewers who doubted it. If you can't see the love they truly had then you can't understand their character choices or what lead Crowley to the kiss. (/nm just a lil frustrated bc romantic gestures or kisses aren't all there is to romance and every little gesture that aziraphale did to make Crowley happy or protective words from Crowley's mouth...THOSE are the I love you's.)

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed
