Doing my part in a rewatch today and I don’t think Aziraphale ever say explicitly “yes” to being supreme archangel. Which, if I’m correct, lends even more credence to this theory, as whoever it defaulted to (there is *always* a Supreme archangel) still technically has that title. Right?

Is Crowley already the new Supreme Archangel?

A few oversights made millennia ago, and suddenly we have a demon archangel on our hands.

Caution: I came up with and wrote this in the last few hours so potentially crackpot theory ahead. Apologies if this has been proposed before, it’s not one I’ve seen. And I’ve seen A LOT.

So supposedly the miracle Aziraphale and Crowley performed together was something only the mightiest of archangels could have done. Everyone assumes it was Crowley because they think he was a high ranking Angel formerly. Or that it was the two of them together. Or that Jimbriel amplified it. But what if…

“There is always a supreme archangel”

Michael says this in S2E1 when talking with Uriel about who is in charge now that Gabriel was missing. Gabriel was removed from office in the trial we hear, he’s no longer Supreme Archangel. If so, Michael’s statement would imply that as soon as Gabriel’s removal happened, a new archangel already existed. Now obviously the Metatron is making a show of choosing Aziraphale as the new Supreme Archangel. But is that within his power to do so? Or is he suggesting working with Crowley for a different reason, possibly unknown even to him?

“I am the only first-order archangel in the room, or you know, the universe”

During the “2nd Armageddon-that-wasn’t” discussion, Gabriel says these words. As he says them, it cuts (ominously isn’t the right word here, pointedly maybe?) to Crowley leaning against the desk, and lingers there just a bit too long.

“How do you know it wasn’t me?”

Another clue to the powerful angel Crowley was. It was clearly said in a teasing manner throw Shax off. But much like the barrel of red herring in the intro, is it a red herring to something else?

“Can you send lightning bolts and get them to report back to you?”

The only other time we see someone calling lightning or using it is, you guessed it: Gabriel in S1 on the airbase to port in and out. I’ve read the theory that Angel!Crowley was the lord of lightning, which I’m not opposed to, but to me this is another link.

“Never change their passwords”

We have one HUGE instance of Heaven being sloppy in their record keeping (passwords), and lax in their security protocol (Crowley bopping about with Muriel). Whereas Hell is meticulous in their record keeping, as shown by the bills, admissions process, and S1 contract.

So what if: when Gabriel was stripped of the title, a new Supreme Archangel was automatically appointed. Except instead of someone else, because heaven neglected to double-check their logs after The Fall, Crowley was still on the books as next in line? This would absolutely play into “God playing games with the universe” and “just think what would have happened if we’d been at all competent” themes running through both seasons. It would also follow the theory that people noticed Aziraphale and Crowley were on the “wrong” side for much of the season. It would also explain a few continuity errors along the way (how did Crowley know Muriel’s rank? He knows it through the knowledge automatically given to the Supreme Archangel).

“Funny ol’ world, isn’t it?”

Caveats and potential weaknesses:

I have no idea how this fits into the fact that S3 will be the actual continuation the Neil and Terry planned, as to my knowledge S2 was essentially a “Neil’s chaotic angsty ineffable husbands fanfic”. But clearly S2 has to play well into the plan for S3. I also kind of hate my theory because Crowley specifically declined to be an angel again, and his hand has been forced too often already.

Now I am a staunch advocate of the body-swap theory, and I’m not sure how this would play into that. Does Metatron know? Does he think he has the power to appoint? Does he think the title went to Aziraphale because of the miracle? Does he try to get Crowley to come back with Aziraphale to exploit his power? Does he know about the body swap in S1 and if so, was he trying to trigger another one to get the right “soul” to heaven?

There are a few other things I haven’t figured out how to incorporate into this post yet. I’ll try to put them into coherent thoughts in the next few days, but thought I’d throw this to the wolves universe for the time being.

Thought 1: “How have your lot managed to stay in charge all this time?” “I’m not so sure we have.”

Thought 2: I need to do (another) rewatch before I nail this one down (such a sacrifice I tell you), but does Crowley have a visceral reaction like he does in S1 to being called “good” in the current, post Gabriel-removal timeset? Obv in Edinburgh/Job, but that’s in the past. He denies it, sure (with Jim), but he straight up flashes a smile and thanks Mrs. Sandwich when she says “You’re a good lad” (after the denial).

2.1: No one calls him “good” in present day except these two instances. Vast difference in the visceral reactions of season 1 and flashbacks.

Thought 3: Crowley is the only one who can trigger Jimbriel’s recall memory.

Have we considered that if Trump is the supposed antichrist, that Greta Thunberg is the supposed reincarnation?

Bad Omens?

One fic has eluded me, as I read it before I had an AO3 account. It was fully complete by January or February ‘24. AU, not human, I think a ‘never met’ situation, probably M or E, they have to dig through books for clues to fix their “predicament”, they end up reading in a gazebo/greenhouse situation at night. Anathema is actually a witch, associated with a powerful coven. At one point Crowley is frozen in stone on a terrace because the family put a spell on it against demons. They fly several times in it (not overly plot-related but not many fics actually have them fly so it’s unique).

Anyway I’d love to find it again and get it in my formal bookmarks. Thanks!

It's not a never met and doesn't include Anathema specifically, but the powerful coven of witches, the turning to stone, and the reading outside all definitely happen in...

Put Out The Fire by Aleakim (T)

Aziraphale finds himself in a very awkward position as some sort of spell makes everyone merely glancing in his direction instantly fall deeply and desperately in love with him. Absolutely everyone. Well, apart from Crowley, that is. And while both angel and demon search for a solution to this fairly unique problem, Crowley can’t help wondering whether Aziraphale might finally figure out some things he kept hidden for so very long.

“Am I ssure?” Crowley hissed, pressing scalding kisses under Aziraphale’s jaw. “Six thousand years and you ask if I’m sure?” @theladyzephyr

This started as a couple of cute sketches and was going to be a quick comic (after all, the fic is less than 500 words), but well, things quickly spiraled out of control. I mean, look at them.

Bigger than everything 🥲💗

I COMPLETELY HYPERVENTILATED WHEN I FOUND THESE (you'll have to see my next posts bc I can't do a thread on here and I can only put 1 video per post) I GENUINELY HAD TO BREATH INTO A PAPER BAG especially seeing as I recognised this scene from the book. if you haven't seen these deleted scenes yet then enjoy (these are from the extras bit on the good omens DVD that for some reason unfortunately isn't on the Amazon Prime X-ray) of course these are only the mini deleted scenes that were filmed- I'll update here if I find any more of the scripts

GO fic editor (beta reader?) offer

I am very much unsure how to do this, but I’ll try here. I’d like to offer my services as a sort of copy editor/grammar checker for Good Omen AO3 fics. I’d be happy to provide feedback, but honestly my day job is reading and yelling at words, and my evening activity is already reading GO fic, so why not combine the two and help the GO writer community?

My preferences are:

E or M (but open to shorter fics of other ratings)

Strong preference for human AU, M/M, Aziraphale/Crowley, happy ending/angst with a happy ending.

I don’t have many icks or CWs, I’ve read a lot of messed-up fics (yes, probably even that one).

Zero issues with any kink I’ve read so far. Honestly I love a good sub/dom/subspace chapter(s).

Slight aversion to A/B/O, but will absolutely edit them.

So if you don’t want a beta reader/feedback but want a second set of eyes for typos/grammar, AZfellesquire might be for you!

This is now my new favorite best friend duo

[azfellesquire]

Oh no

[azfellesquire]

Me, starting a fic with the names for A/C nearly unrecognizable, using endearments I find cringe, and a/b/o (I’m still wary of it): First of all through this word changer extension all things are possible so write that down.

[azfellesquire]

This pose is from the ballet Romeo & Juliet. I thought it was just breathtakingly romantic. I think this is one of the best things I've done this year, I'm very happy with it.

Reading “Words Rarely Spoken” rn and holy shit if I don’t feel this with my entire being.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’
