Ren and Redacted's reactions to an Angel who accidentally blurts out "love you" and then apologies profusely afterwards afraid they were too soon
✦゜ANSWERED: LILYYYYYY MY BELOVED!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR NAME IN MY INBOX IN AGES ;v; <3
Ren
"H-Huh?" His eyes would go wide before he's reaching for your shoulders in a silent plea for you to look at him. When he meets your eyes, Ren will send you a smile as soft as snow before pulling you even closer and resting his chin atop of your head. "Don't apologise! I-I love you too! So, so, so, so, so, sosososo much! I've loved you since the very first day I saw you!"
[REDACTED]
He also stares at you with wide eyes, before retreating to the safety behind his bangs. He wants to reach out to you, truly, but his self-loathing and insecurities hold him back. And so, he settles for grabbing the end of your sleeve and dipping his head into your shoulder. "You... Really love me? Heh... Y'so weird, angel. But... I love you too." He nuzzles even closer. "M'Not apologising for that."

Having a lot of thoughts about Crowley, the Angel, who did not make the stars, but made a beautiful, chaotic nebula that made the stars instead
And thinking about Crowley, the Demon, who did not directly corrupt humans, but set up frustrating, chaotic situations to corrupt humans instead.

the captain essentially keeling over from any sort of praise is such a sweet headcanon to me.
like imagine he's with havers and he's like. discussing his plans for some sort of new operation or something similar
and once he finishes explaining/rambling, he turns and looks to havers, who just has the sweetest most smitten smile on his face (which already has cap feeling a bit hot under the collar)
havers says something along the lines of "that is an amazing idea, sir, truly remarkable. i'd say you have this in the bag." or something similar
enter cap making his weird noises as per usual (whilst nervously tugging at his collar and slouching his shoulders just a little bit)
"weh-he-i...uh-well, i..uh-would..i..i suppose i do, don't i?"
and of course havers finds this response absolutely endearing
so, for the next two to three months that they know each other, havers makes it his goal to shower captain with as much praise as possible
(to which cap responds with flushed cheeks, wavering glances, and stuttered words)

Good omens season 2 spoilers!
I don't usually get meta out of my brain semi-coherently but I'm seeing a lot of people misunderstanding Aziraphale's intentions in those final 15 minutes and I'm here to swing for my boy
I think one thing people might be missing the undercurrent of is the offer to make Crowley an angel again
It's not just an ooh we'd be on the same side, the good guys, and we'd be allowed to be together, though of course that is some of it
Aziraphale thinks he's being offered the chance to grant Crowley, who he knows has been tortured and almost killed by Hell, who risks punishment to disobey Hell's orders when they ask him to be cruel, divine forgiveness
That's kind of a big deal when Falling is the worst thing that can happen to an angel, besides being erased from existence
It's a way to get Crowley out of a job he hates and the persistent threat of torture, give him the freedom to be kind, as Aziraphale really believes he is deep down, underneath the obligations of being a Demon, without worrying about being punished for it
Of course he would want that for Crowley, that's not out of character at all
Aziraphale doesn't even want to go back to Heaven until it's stated that he can take Crowley with him, that Crowley can be an angel again
Crowley can be safe, and free from the trauma/repercussions of Falling, and they can be together forever in a real partnership
Why wouldn't he see it as a perfect solution?
He genuinely doesn't understand why Crowley doesn't want that
He's been given a chance to give Crowley salvation and protection from harm, and it's so shocking and confusing and upsetting that Crowley doesn't want to be saved, such a sting of rejection that he'd choose remaining Fallen on Earth over being an angel again with Aziraphale in Heaven, that in his heartbreak he ends up agreeing to go without Crowley despite Crowley being the only reason he considered it in the first place
Here's where I want to point out that I don't think Aziraphale understands how the Fall actually did change Crowley quite a bit. From Aziraphale's point of view, Crowley as an Angel and Crowley as a Demon are the same person just with different jobs. He's not entirely wrong about that, and given how often he's seen Crowley do the 'right' thing he's got evidence to back it up
But I'm not sure he knows what Crowley was telling Gabriel, that his own memories from before the Fall are hard to access and he did in essence have to start from scratch and build up a whole new sense of self
And besides that, being cast out of Heaven is a horrific abandonment. You don't just get over something like that when they invite you back - and you don't just get over seeing firsthand that they almost destroyed the love of your life without remorse only to turn around and ask him to run the place now (or all the other cruelty you've seen committed on their orders.)
Crowley has learned that kindness is not inherent in Heaven and having once been an angel has nothing to do with what he believes is right, while Aziraphale is still idealistic about good and evil (tbh Aziraphale admitting that Heaven needs to change is already a huge step in the right direction, it just wasn't enough)
From Crowley's pov Aziraphale is choosing an unjust and abusive workplace over the life they already have together, and asking him to change because he's not good enough as he is, even though that's not how Aziraphale means it at all.
I'm sure the Metatron knew that Crowley wouldn't go for it for precisely those reasons, but I don't think he needed to do anything more than make the offer to cause a rift
Tl;dr I vehemently believe Aziraphale wasn't poisoned he's just a well-meaning moron and the true villain here is miscommunication
