#meanwhile at crowley’s flat

[meanwhile-at-the-bookshop]

Today the grumpy demon visited the bookshop, and threw himself down on the sofa, muttering about humanity and it wasn't his fault or even hell's fault this time... the grumbling trailed off after a few minutes, and when Muriel checked he was asleep. When he woke up a while later he vehemently denied this (and Muriel decided not to ask how he had gotten wrapped up in a tartan blanket), but he did seem to be feeling a little better when he left.

Muriel had barely started back on their organizing when the bookshop bell jangled again and the Supreme Archangel arrived looking worried, but visibly relaxing when he walked through the door. He pulled a book off the shelf, and Muriel made him a cuperty, and he settled into the armchair (just a few pages, my dear); an hour later he sighed and looked a bit happier, set down the book, and said he needed to be getting back. After he left, Muriel reshelved the copy of Pride and Prejudice, and wondered where the tartan blanket had gone.

“AO3 is down? Well what am I supposed to do now. I know, hey Ciri call Azirapha-AH DAMN IT!”

Today Crowley was reading too many stories and accidentally crashed AO3.

see but while we all know crowley did not tell aziraphale about living in his car, i don't think it would have worked out well even if he had

aziraphale: why are your plants in your car, isn't that awfully cramped?

crowley: yes but i couldn't leave them behind with shax now could i

aziraphale: ah. i see

[cue to him to fucking expelling shax from crowley's flat with a lot of un-angelic miracles and behaviour]

aziraphale: all done, dear boy, your flat is yours again

crowley, who was busy carrying all his plants into the bookshop to move in: it is what now

[fellshish]

Crowley could have easily rented another flat but like the dramatic bitch he is he lives in his car with his little plants waiting for aziraphale to ask him to move in. Meanwhile aziraphale is living on another planet mentally where he is too busy creating Situations in which he gets to casually touch crowley. 6,000 years 1 brain cell bouncing around between these two

Alright here's my GO3 predictions already bc I'm insane:

There's a similar timeskip (the airdates lining up w the timeline)

By then Aziraphale is starting to get bogged down by the beaurocracy and starts dressing more like the other angels (unfortunately). Like his Charm is still there and he still has good intentions but he can only do so much and his time in heaven away from Crowley is starting to rub off on him in terms of his style and mindset

Crowley meanwhile is an absolute disaster as always, but they're starting to recover. He did get the flat back, and he's got a sort of cautious mentorship with the over-eager Muriel (and still making sure they don't sell any of the books in case Aziraphale comes back). Their walls are higher than ever before and he acts like a bitter ex whenever Azi/Heaven are mentioned.

And of course s3e1 ends with aziracrow finally meeting up again, a rendezvous at their park bench, like old times, so Azi can inform Crowley about the second coming, saying things aren't going as planned and he needs crowley's help. The tension can be cut with a knife.

Idk what happens after that but that hard reset to their dynamic is eating at my brain fr

[meanwhile-at-crowleys-flat]

Can confirm

Okay, but

Listen

If you think about it

Crowley is probably in his flat right now, binge watching Bluey while getting arse over tits drunk

You cannot prove me otherwise

Today, a patron’s baby started screaming. Mortified, she turned to leave before she’d even ordered. Crowley hopped out of line and said, “I used to be a nanny. May I?” The baby giggled and reached out toward him, so the frazzled mother agreed. Crowley bounced the baby on his knee and hummed ancient lullabies while the woman finished the first hot cup of coffee she’d had in months.

Today, Supreme Archangel Aziraphale felt delighted to hear that his dear friend Oscar's most famous and celebrated work was going to be adapted for the small screen, on the Netflix. This delight was almost immediately curtailed by a seething, white hot rage when he heard that Basil was intended to be portrayed as Dorian's sibling.

Amidst an increasingly furious rant about the erasure of subtext at several wide-eyed scriveners, Aziraphale thought to himself that, despite his fury, it was somehow nice to know he was still capable of feeling something - anything - this strongly.

Today the bookshop unlocked the door for the grumpy demon again. He came in and glared at Muriel’s new plant on the windowsill, and grumbled at Muriel, but then miracled some fertilizer and told Muriel how to use it, and answered their questions on how to take care of it (which seemed to consist mostly of yelling at it to grow better).

Today Crowley got his email invite for AO3 and was pleasantly surprised no one else had GoldenEyes007.

[fellshish]

Crowley didn’t ask if he could move in with aziraphale even though he was living in his car because last season when they thought aziraphale’s bookshop had permanently burned down crowley got shot down fast when he offered they live in the flat together. Crowley’s there sleeping in the bentley miserably thinking the last thing aziraphale wants is sharing a home with him meanwhile the biggest douche of heaven rides up naked and gets free lodging and hot cocoa in his own little angel wing mug. That’s gotta hurt bad
