Reflections on Aching: a poem attributed to Antonio Penn

Over the past month or so the Ace Omens Discord server has been sharing inspiration in a sandbox ‘verse in which Crowley publishes love poems under the pseudonym “Antonio Penn” (Aziraphale, meanwhile, eventually reads said poetry without realizing that Crowley is the poet). Check out The Collected Works of Antonio Penn for more beautiful works (both poetry and prose)!

I tried my hand at a new, more visual poetry form. Here is the result.

Rated G, 165 words, by me (DandelionDrabbles)

There

Are times

When I look

At you, my angel

Just across the table

And I cannot help but ache

When

Sometimes

I look in your eyes

And deep in them I see

Constellations and sunrises

Bright, beautiful, never touchable

ouch

This watch gave the time in twenty world capitals and in a capital city in Another Place, where it was always one time, and that was Too Late.

Crowley + (running out of) time

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

perfect post, 100/10, no notes

Why soft dom Aziraphale + bratty sub Crowley appeals to me

(be serious though they're both switches)*

Soft Dom Aziraphale

1. heaven

An angel is supposed to be the pure one, undefiled, meek, following orders without question, the girl to be got, the prize to be sought after, the white to be soiled. Subvert it! Aziraphale shouldn't be confined to an eternity of zero agency, naivety, and bland pastels. The idea of Aziraphale getting to really own his "bastard" side, getting to be "selfish," be demanding, be in control--delightful.

And, Aziraphale has guilt complexes on his guilt complexes. Because, unlike most of humanity, he is intimately aware of the righteous, pitiless violence that heaven is capable of. And he's made an art of subtly and ceaselessly defying it by being gentle, by demonstrating enormous restraint. He is a warrior who gave away his holy sword. He swerves severely in the direction of being reserved, harmless, feels clear guilt about any strong desires or direct asks. He has an obvious anxiety about excess (the mental acrobatics he does to justify his book collection, for example, are an entire circus). Free him from the fear of going too far!

2. the effeminate gay man

Thee Southern Pansy, "gay as a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide," with the fancy clothes and prim and proper aesthetic, ever the damsel in distress, flamboyant and limp-wristed, the one who is called slurs by children, the one who is sunshine and sweetness, "the nice one."

Except we know he is secretly a bastard! We know this bitch has preferences! Let him own that! The fact that he is effeminate should not automatically make him more submissive I literally hate that. On the inside Aziraphale is cunty and commanding and he should get to be!

3. with Crowley

Let him say what he craves directly so help me god! No double-speak, no games, no lustfully looking but then looking away immediately. Let him consume. Let him indulge in the gluttony he endlessly flirts with yet denies himself out of guilt and fear. The idea of Aziraphale as a gentle dom just seems so healing, like a puzzle piece that finally gets to click into place without shame.

-------------

Bratty Sub Crowley

1. hell

A demon is supposed to be the impure one, the defiler, the temptress, the seducer, the villain who takes, the black that soils. Subvert it! Crowley shouldn't be confined to the tropes of his demonic nature. He does not just take, just ruin. He is not inherently the one with experience while Aziraphale is the naive, pure little virgin. The idea of him being submissive to an angel (well...to this angel) is a delicious way to challenge that narrative.

And oh my god my girl has trust issues. As a demon his mentality is severely no allies, watch your back, the one who was cast out, rejected for a first offense, shaky ground, always in danger. He's not supposed to trust others, and he has legit biblically valid reasons to be wary and paranoid. Free him from the fear of trusting someone else to take control!

2. Mr. Cool

Mr. Bond, suave, smooth, stoic, sharp angles, stylish and slick, so very dangerous and criminal, the one with the car, the rebel, the snake. Compared with Aziraphale, he's supposed to be Mr. Hardass, "not nice."

Except we know he is secretly a disaster twink, 110% a soft sad little loser under that facade (and not buried that deep either)! He is a romantic who, in spite of hell, wants to give his angel chocolates! Let him own that!

3. with Aziraphale

Let him be unequivocally, unambiguously wanted oh my god! No guessing games! No trying to decipher what the fuck Aziraphale is really saying to him! Free him from the fear of always being "too fast" or "too late." All this bitch wants is for Aziraphale to be pleased by him, by Anthony J-acts-of-service Crowley! The idea of finally allowing him that...another puzzle piece. So satisfying and healing and safe.

-------------

*They're switches your honor

1. "our side"

Not heaven, not hell. Not angels or demons. Not all black or all white. If you think they don't switch, you're wrong.

2. weight & gender

Aziraphale is bigger and keeps his hair short and has a steadiness to him and all those things are perceived as more masculine by some and therefore stronger and more dominant. Fuck that! His size also is too often viewed as something unattractive, which--extremely fuck that. My boy is a treat and a catch. He should get to feel pretty and soft in a totally uncomplicated way as often as he goddamn wants.

Crowley is skinny, often has longer hair, has an absolute treasure hoard of gender, and there's a flightiness to him that's perceived as more feminine by some and therefore weaker and more submissive. Again I say fuck that! His slimness likewise is too often viewed as more desirable, more malleable and able to be cowed; to which I say: die! He is no dainty flower. He actually can often be commanding and capable. Take him seriously.

Furthermore: Aside from the obvious fact that weight, gender, and d/s all have jack shit to do with each other, subverting these tropes remains as important as subverting the other ones. Aziraphale should get to feel delicate and wanted just as much as Crowley. And Crowley should get to feel powerful and in control just as much as Aziraphale. To deny either of them those experiences...bad! Shut up!

3. Crowley & Aziraphale

Their dynamic is already basically gentle dom Aziraphale & bratty sub Crowley. Like literally inches below the surface lmao it's not that hard to spot (see: Az pouts about paint on his jacket, Crowley instantly rushes to fix it but in a cunty way; Crowley pins Az to a wall and Az isn't even slightly intimidated or out of control).

The problem is, they're not talking (see: Az can't ask directly; Crowley has to act tough). Which is why I personally feel that a more honest d/s dynamic, with all that unspoken ritual out in the open, would be an enormous relief for them.

That said, it's not fair to confine them to that familiar dynamic! Crowley isn't a sad wet rat all the time-- let him plan things and have them work out for once. Let him be (on purpose lol) successfully seductive! Likewise Aziraphale deserves to let his fucking hair down. Let my girl not have to do everything in this goddamn house! He deserves to not have to be the one in control all the time. He has trust issues just as deep as Crowley's, and equally deserves to feel safe and wanted.

Also Aziraphale is too much of a hedonist to not want to try everything. If you think he's sticking with one dynamic you are a fool. A clown. As my French-speaking 6,000 year old middle aged babygirl would say: an imbécile.

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

American 60s female presenting you say????? Well don’t mind if I do!!!!!

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

"Right angel, I might as well get comfortable since I know once you have a book in your hands, you lose track of time."

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

sometimes the fact that crowley and aziraphale shared the most desperate kiss of all times after pining for each other for more than 6000 years will just hit u like a goddamn truck

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

things one must draw in order to cope when one is reading the Final Problem

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

My take on the Sherlock Holmes books

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

BRIDGERTON 2.08 The Viscount Who Loved Me

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

Aziraphale 100% went like 'there ought to be a nice patch of wildflowers over there. Yes, that should do nicely' and that's all the gardening he did meanwhile crowley was out there getting up at 4am to sing warlock back to sleep

Something that I noticed with this page from Furfur’s book on angels, is in relation to Aziraphale’s known professions.

Most of these we know, but has anyone else noticed “Music tyooter” (tutor) and bishop?

Music tutor I think perhaps refers to the season 1 script book for explanation. In cut dialogue from the Rome flashback sequence Aziraphale says the following to Crowley:

They want me to Influence a boy called Nero. I thought I’d get him interested in music. Improve him.

So I guess we can assume this is where the music tutor profession comes in.

But what of the bishop. I had actually never thought of Aziraphale actually playing at being a man of the church at any point in history. Is this ever mentioned in the book or the show and I’ve missed it? When do we speculate this particular job happened? And considering all the priest AU stories out there, how on earth was Aziraphale feeling during this time? Extra pious perhaps? Did he ever meet Crowley at all during this time? And oh what feelings did he feel? Would love everyone’s thoughts on this particular thread.

Side note: I love Brother Francis in this book is merely describe as “Garden Deziner” (designer) instead of a gardener. Which kind of goes with the theory that Aziraphale never actually did any gardening but merely thought of how the garden should look and then miracled it that way. I get the feeling Crowley did far more work for the Dowlings than just nannying…😜🤣

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

#i live there

[uhhh-i-couldnt-possibly]

all of them pleaseeeeeeeee

In the finale, i think we all agree that there needs to be some sweet moments between Crowley and Aziraphale. I will happily take

A kiss on the cheek, hand, or forehead

One of them resting their head on the others shoulder

A long, desperate hug

Hand holding

Cuddling in bed or on a couch

Aziraphale taking Crowley's glasses off

Wiping away each other's tears

Anything I've missed?
