crowley’s finger shaking over the trigger during the bullet catch act is my roman empire genuinely. he knew aziraphale wouldn’t technically *die*, he’d most likely be back after he filled out the paperwork, and hell probably would have even promoted crowley for shooting an angel. still, though, he’s shaking, because imagine how fucking horrifying it would be to see such a gory sight, how traumatizing the image of blowing out the love of your life’s brains (literally) would be especially knowing that you did it, you messed up and now you’ve discorporated the one being you’ve spent so long trying to protect. crowley would never ever forgive himself if he had hurt aziraphale, betrayed him like that, even if it was only an accident. we all saw how he reacted to the bookshop burning. he never would have recovered.

still, though, aziraphale asked crowley to trust him, and he did.
