garden in the void

I was told she pets other dogs but I wasn’t ready for how funny it is

I have no doubt in my mind Crowley has fallen asleep in the bookshop by mistake before

The comfort of his angels presence enveloping him, the warmth of the bookshop, the safety he feels around Aziraphale

You’re most vulnerable when you’re sleeping, that’s why it would be so easy to doze off for him

Aziraphale would take such good care of him too

The fact that Crowley grabs Aziraphale's lapels the same way in season 2 as he did in season 1 shows how that action was always meant as an intimate gesture by him. It meant intimacy to Crowley back then, and it means intimacy now.

We're talking about a deliberate acting choice from David, here. He chose to grab Michael that way in episode 6 for a reason. He's creating a connection to season 1, bridging two separate moments in the characters' relationship with a single gesture.

Crowley and Aziraphale have loved each other for a long, long time. They were never able to say or act on it before. But they both knew the meaning behind every little touch, every look, every lapel grab.

Yes, they both knew it. Aziraphale didn't feel threatened the first time it happened. Well, he certainly doesn't feel threatened now, either. Look at how he lets himself get dragged into the kiss. The amount of trust between these two! He's leaning in even before he realises where Crowley is dragging him (towards those gorgeous lips, of course).

It gets worse... Neil knows precisely how much we've treasured that scene from season 1 since it aired, so he decided to use it against us.

Absolute genius!

...Evil.

.......but still genius!

crowley's hypervigilance is something that can actually be so personal and it IS personal to me.

anxious, paranoid, traumatized lovely demon. one day you will have your cottage and your angel and your garden, and you will be at peace with yourself and the world; your plants will grow without harsh words and so will you.

Aziraphale will be so love starved, touch starved, warmth starved in Heaven. He is so used to having mister chaos turned husband by his side all the time. The warmth of him as he sits closer than necessary. The sarcastic little jokes and snorts. The protective, saving vibes at all times. The late evenings in the bookshop as they drink together and sit so close. The way he can call him at all times to speak with him. The way he can get him to come to the bookshop at any time. The way he can touch him and flirt. The coffee shop dates. The pub dates. Waiting to see what kind of hot outfit he will show up in this time. The night trips in Bentley. The dates at the Ritz.

And now the taste of his lips and his body underneath his hands.

I imagine that the moment he will have him back, Aziraphale will be obsessed with him. Looking at him like at a picture. Crowley could do no wrong. He will be perfect. He missed every single thing about him and Crowley will see his face looking at him like he is the most precious diamond in the world. And Aziraphale is never letting go again.

You know when pitbulls do that expression?

You know the really tender soft “I am in love and am so happy” expression where their eyes shine and they smile so gently and can’t stop looking at their object of affection as they wag their tail and fall in love more?

I’ve been thinking about it for days and am brought to tears with how tender and sweet they are oh my god

They really are back :’)
