Good Omens AU Pre-Season 1

where the archangels are well aware of The Arrangement, visit Aziraphale more often in hopes of mitigating his loneliness and thereby limiting the number of times he's turn to a demon for companionship, not knowing that they are pushing Aziraphale into Crowley's arms in the process.

During the Victorian Era, concerned for Aziraphale's well being because Crowley has been tempting humans into Lust a particular lot of late, Saraqael visits Aziraphale's bookshop not long after it opens (after Gabriel brings up replacing Aziraphale with Micheal but before Crowley asks for Holy Water) and has a long talk with Aziraphale about "Not falling for the Demon's Temptations, no matter how pretty he looks! I don't care how dashing he is in a tophat or how endearing it is when he swings his cane in circles when he's happy, Aziraphale, don't you dare fall into bed with him!"

A little while later, maybe a year or so, but still before the fight over Holy Water, Saraqael gets a Prayer-Message from Aziraphale: "I didn't even want that from him, but thanks to you, I can't stop thinking about it, and I hinted at it to him, and now Crowley is running away from me, terrified! This is all your FAULT Saraqael!!!"

Poor Crowley thinks he’s tempted Aziraphale Too Much because Lust is a deadly sin, and he absolutely does not want him to fall so he’s running for the hills, not realizing that it was an Archangel who put the thoughts into Aziraphale’s previously empty head.

Saraqael is absolutely kicking herself because this was NOT what she intended. She was trying to dissaude carnal relations, not encourage it. But hey, at least the demon’s now keeping his distance?

I Spend my days searching for that one fic where demons (or maybe it's just Crowley) still has their halos, and Crowley detonated his (against Metatron???) and Micheal pops up like, "So. Another war? Again? Already?"

In addition to the above Halo fic, I am now looking for the little comic where Crowley is enamored with the glimpse of Aziraphale’s tummy, followed by Crowley doing a BIG STRETCH to best show off the strings of his thong.

The fact that people like my sleep addled "Golden Retriever Crowley" gives me the warm and fuzzies. Does Aziraphale and Crowley ever find a way to turn Crowley back to normal? Who knows! Maybe Crowley is forever a snake shaped being trapped as a Golden Retriever shape and is still dumb and happy about it because he still has Aziraphale!

Or maybe Aziraphale stumbles on the "True Love's Kiss" option of breaking curses by accident because Crowley's happy tail wags and brainless prancing and clingy scrabble after Aziraphale when he leaves to get more tea or cocoa has knocked over another stack of books and has gotten bonked on his silly head yet AGAIN with another copy of "Persuasion" or even "Sense and Sensibility". He's giving Aziraphale his most pathetic and teary eyed look because his angel's bookshop is ATTACKING HIM and he's not in a good shape for avoiding the attacks, pamper him, Angel, he deserves it!

But maybe it doesn't work because something else (Crowley's wish to be pampered? Crowley thinking that Aziraphale is more obliging and indulgent of him in this four legged, fluffy, goofy faced form?) is keeping him in Golden Retriever shape.

Benefit! The kids absolutely love this big dog who grumbles and snuffles and lets them pet him and pull his fur all the same sticky grubby fingers and and wet, sticky mouthed kisses to his forehead and all. Bonus that Aziraphale sighs and gives him that soft, loving look and wipes his face with a wet towel and strokes his face with soft fingertips and gives his rump unthinking pats.

For fuck's sake, Angel, kiss him already! He'll kiss back! No wait, doggie kisses are just lickies, hey that can't be too bad, right?

Crowley would like to have opposable thumbs again, but this form isn't too bad, not when he's getting absentminded forehead kisses from Aziraphale on the regular.

IDK what's going on with my sleeping brain but I just woke up from twelve hours of Aziraphale alternating between very delighted by and very aggravated by his high energy, high maintenance, very clingy, Demonic Serpent turned Golden Retriever.

"Crowley! Put that down! Oh, look, you've put teeth marks in my book! And is that drool?! Crowley!!!"

"Crowley! Watch out for that-" *crash!* "-pile of books. Oh dear... Is your head alright? You took a good knock from that Milton...."

See Aziraphale on the sofa, reading, with Goldie!Crowley napping with his fluffy head on his lap, and Azi has no idea there is a growing wet patch of doggie drool forming on his knees.

Nina: "He's particularly brainless today, isn't he?"

Aziraphale: "Oh, that's just Crowley."

Maggie: "If I throw a stick, will he chase it?"

Goldie!Crowley: "I'm dog shaped, not an actual dog."

Warlock or Adam: "Fetch!" (Yeets stick)

Goldie!Crowley: *immediately zooms*

Aziraphale: "The answer to that question is, 'Yes,' it seems."

This lipstick suits you very well, my dear

No thoughts, head empty, just Crowley’s little apology dance.

Does Crowley's angel outfit ~do~ something to you?

Yes, I hate it, and normally I find Crowley sexually attractive

Yes, I love it, and normally I find Crowley sexually attractive

Yes, I hate it, and normally I do not find Crowley sexually attractive

Yes, I love it, and normally I do not find Crowley sexually attractive

idk, I thought it was funny ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

It's fine? Just another outfit for the costume dept to squeeze 5 foxes into

It does *something* to me alright, but I couldn't tell you exactly *what*

Other (PLEASE specify in notes; I am dying to hear other options)

This poll came about because a certain friend (cough@snek-eyes) keeps posting that absolutely awful, hideous, terrible angel outfit of Crowley's, and claims to love it unironically. I, of course, disagree and would very much appreciate never being reminded of that abomination of a costume again.

Now the question is, whose reaction is unequivocally correct? And does the reaction depend on your normal attraction levels to Crowley/David Tennant? (Friend is ace; I am not.)

I cannot put into words how much I love his stupid terrible angel disguise. Looking at it brings me unholy amounts of glee. He's having so much fun. It's the worst thing I've ever seen and I love it so much. Would absolutely still hit it.

What are you even "hitting"??!?! The mall??

.....well dammit, now I want to go shopping with Crowley. Unfair.

The thing I hate most about Crowley’s Angel Outfit is the slides, but at the same time, I love the outfit, it’s hilariously horrible and he’s having so much fun in it. I am full of glee over it, glee and some other unidentifiable emotion, and I hate the outfit so much and love it so much in the same breath, and come on! Tell me no one else thinks Crowley chose each piece deliberately to poke fun at Heaven’s Aesthetics!

Aziraphale: Then… Then you tell me that you want to do this. You look me in the eye and tell me.

Crowley [convincingly]: I want to. I long to destroy the blameless children of blameless Job, just as I destroyed his blameless goats.

Aziraphale [believing Crowley]: Then God forgive you.

[As they are both walking away in different direction a bleating sound is heard. Aziraphale turnes and sees only crows... which proceed to bleat. Crowley watches Aziraphale. Aziraphale and Crowley glance at each other. Aziraphale makes a miracle and the crows turn to goats revealing that Crowley didn't destroy the goats but changed them into crows instead.]

Aziraphale [putting his hands on his hips, cheerily]: Well.

When Aziraphale says "Then God forgive you" he means "I can't, this is unforgivable". So when he sees that Crowley's "I am truly an evil demon" act is just an act, Crowley is once again someone who it's possible for Aziraphale to forgive. Crowley tried *really* hard, harder than we ever see him try again, to look evil and unforgivable to Aziraphale ... and he failed. C may think of himself and call himself unforgivable, but A will never again think of him that way, that ship has sailed.
