Oh, bugger, you shouldn’t have seen that…

A bit of True Form Aziraphale peeking through. The markings are based on Bleshko’s lines that exist in humans.

"Crowley, now isn't really the best time."

Okay but I'm seriously obsessed with people's interpretations of Crowley and Aziraphale's 'true' celestial forms. (Click image for supreme quality)

No nightingales

We need BOTH OF THEM TO GO FERAL

Aziraphale protecting Crowley?

Crowley protecting Aziraphale?

How about they protect each other?! At the same time!

On their own side

Imagine them, standing back to back, in their true forms.

Aziraphale in white, bright gold halo on top of his head, flaming sword in his hands, eyes purple, wings white.

Crowley in black, claws and fangs, tool of creation in his hands, eyes black, wings black.

The sound of Heaven, the hiss of Hell.

Angels and demons surrounding them.

Yep (a Good Omens/Nope crossover) ✨️✨️✨️

More Filipino dub Good Omens goodness! The first one I talked about is here.

Another example in S2E4 is when Crowley thanks Aziraphale for agreeing to do the magic show, and Aziraphale replies - with some hesitation in the middle of his sentence - that "that's what... friends... are for."

In the Filipino dub, Aziraphale says "ganoon ang... magka... ibigan."

But unlike in the original English script, the pauses in the sentence - to convey hesitation - are not between words. The Filipino dub instead has Aziraphale split a word into two. The word, when pronounced correctly, is "magkaibigan", but Aziraphale splits the word into "magka" and "ibigan". In my opinion, this is more than just a choice in diction.

"Friend", in Tagalog, is translated to "kaibigan", whose root word is "ibig", which means "love".

So, when the word is split the way Aziraphale stated it in the dub, it becomes another word: ka-ibigan. And it changes meaning from "friend" to "lover".

Hi I still haven't gotten out of bed but I'm already fully armed and ready to shoot down anyone that tries to say Aziraphale doesn't care about Crowley anymore or WORSE, never loved him THAT much in the first place.

Crowley is quite literally his top priority, he made that very clear with how distraught he is when Crowley leaves. Why would he shout "Don't go!" "Crowley, come back!" and "I NEED YOU!" if Crowley wasn't always at the forefront of his mind? Why is he so visibly striken and upset when he gives him that last, longing look, begging for Crowley to come with him and be with him forever, before deciding to step into that elevator? When he gets in there, his entire purpose shifts. He IS going to make everything better, and he IS going to make Crowley see the error of his ways.

I can promise you all Aziraphale is going to stop at NOTHING to get Crowley to come be with him forever, as an angel. He is going to do WHATEVER it takes, now that he is the acting Supreme Archangel. It's Crowley he wants first, Heaven he wants second, and, sadly, due to the Mettatron making this offer, a life on Earth he wants last. And that sets up such a FANTASTIC conflict for S3!!!!!

Aziraphale, our beloved, fussy, STUBBORN Aziraphale, is now compromised. He is compromised with POWER. Power as the LITERAL, SUPREME ARCHANGEL. Is this NOT SUCH AN EXCITING AND HEARTBREAKING PROMISE FOR A WILD S3 EXPERIENCE??

Guys, we ALL know Aziraphale let Crowley down, but you have to see that Crowley let Aziraphale down in his eyes. Just as much. That's what makes this scene so tragic. We know Aziraphale isn't thinking the way we and Crowley thought he would, or HOPED he would despite how the world Didn't End. How despite everything in how S1 ended, he was still left with an uncontested sense of superiority that we were all too elated to see was something Left Behind within him.

This season brought all that stuff out:

"We will win of course. Obviously. Heaven will triumph over Hell. It's all going to be rather lovely."

"You were an angel once..."

"Why, yes, I am a great deal holier than thou, that's the whole point."

(after gabriel/beelzebub leave in s1) "See, Crowley, it's as I said--" (back to what he said in the Bentley in S1E2, how Evil always plants the seeds of its own destruction and Good will always win out in the end)

These types of thoughts, and him spending all of the 6,000 years he knew Crowley separating them as one inherently good and one inherently wicked.... guys, that won't just go away after only 4 years of being on their Own Side. We hoped it would. We wanted it to. But it doesn't make sense. Yes, even if the earthshattering realization Aziraphale had that Heaven never truly cared about what was Good did change his character and essentially complete his arc in S1... it didn't change everything.

His arc in S1 was completed when he learned that Heaven wasn't for him. That they never cared. That only he and Crowley could save this world. But this is where the show deviates from the book - Aziraphale in the book is angry. Bitter. Scorned. Aziraphale in the show is just heartbroken. He mourns for the only ever family he knew. He mourns what he always saw himself to be. That mourning isn't just going to go away after 4 years. What is 4 years to a creature that has lived for a possible billion before the Creation? 4 years on earth to 6,000? That terrible wound he suffered that day is still VERY much fresh. It's an open wound he didn't properly take care of. And the Mettatron noticed, didn't he? Yes, you can understand that someone or Something isn't FOR you, and know all the reasons why, yet still wish you could go back... it's how abusive relationships work. You confuse nostalgia with remorse. You confuse nostalgia for real love.

Of COURSE he would seize the opportunity to get what he felt he lost back. And HE could do it. HE has the power. He can make it ALL RIGHT again, everything he's ever wanted...

...and this is why he completely breaks down when Crowley doesn't want to be beside him to do it. Rewatch it. Look at him. Look in his eyes. The way he winces when Crowley kisses him. His internal conflict (Heaven/Crowley vs. Our Side/Crowley) is externalized through Sheen's brilliant acting. His arms coming up to embrace him, but they never fully commit, they just graze him and hover around his body. The way he launches himself backward, away from the kiss, but his body is still slightly leaning forward. When he brings up his shaky hand to touch his lips, and not crying. Never crying. Because he is an Angel, and Angels don't cry. Not like a Demon would. Crowley is all he wants, but now, Crowley doesn't want him. Not like this. Not anymore.

Because, well, Aziraphale said it, didn't he?

Nothing lasts forever.

Who left her paints on the other side of the country? Anyway, to a happy, safe, peaceful new year with some true form ineffable husbands kisses.

[ineffablelifetoallmetatrons]

Aziraphale and Crowley wanted to see eachothers true forms

Crowley is ineffably in love

[aziraphales-library]

Hi!

Do you have any fics with abstract love making/bonding preferably based on canon? Hard to describe. A little bit like TwoFish, I've not managed to find any more and I loved that one a lot.

Thanks so much!

Hello! I think the kind of thing you're after is true form or metaphysical sex/bonding. Here are some fics for you...

a standard, or two by untakenbeepun (M)

Aziraphale knows that Crowley knows that Aziraphale could have got himself out of the Bastille in less than the time it took to snap his fingers, just as much as Crowley knows that Aziraphale knows that, but for the sake of a millennia of dancing around each other and never quite speaking about it, they’ll keep up the pretence.

Substation Four is Out by HolRose (T)

Employees of UK Power are puzzled at something odd that has happened on an otherwise ordinary evening in Soho. In a local bookshop, two otherworldly beings are holding hands.

verum ad formare by D20Owlbear (M)

They were here at the beginning, and they'll be here at the end

Crowley and Aziraphale are here, taking every day as it comes, and pondering on how things have changed. And they are here, exactly as they are, with each other and of each other and in each other.

Sometimes, touching true forms with one another, is the most intimate thing a being can do.

A Grain Of Sand by entanglednow (T)

Crowley discovers something unexpected while sleeping, and he's faced with the choice of whether to let go of something precious.

An Honest Surrender by Kedreeva (T)

"For six thousand years," Crowley said, voice cracking, "I have wanted something I couldn't have, because I asked the wrong questions. But I'm asking the right one now. The only one that matters."

In which Aziraphale follows Crowley home after the nonpocalypse.

Vows by Bookwormgal (T)

Crowley certainly didn't do it on purpose. It wasn't something that he exactly planned. But a moment of desperation and stubbornness gave birth to the creation of something new. A bond forged of power, hope, devotion, love, and promises that he would never break.

It isn't often that a demon metaphysically half-marries an angel.

And I think this is the fic you mentioned in your ask, but please include the author's name and/or link!!...

TwoFish by Grindylowe (T)

A love story about angels and demons. Also, fish
