I like the idea that angels can hear prayers that name them
And there was some effort on Heaven's part to keep Aziraphale's name away from human lips, so Aziraphale gets very few if any prayers. All his work and credit go to Gabriel or Michael. It used to be a bit demotivating, but he's gotten more or less used to it
But Crowley prays to him sometimes, and it comes as a kind of tingle, a kind of echoing confusion of words that he understands only because it is in his nature to do so
Aziraphale
The words trickle in, he can feel them in his bones and his heart
Guardian of the Eastern Gate, Keeper of Books, do you hear my prayer?
And Aziraphale sits up to listen better, for this is rare and worthy of attention
I think your phone's off the hook. I'm in the bottle shop, they've got a sale on Chardonnay, are you running low?
Aziraphale glances at his phone, which has fallen off its hook. He glances at the pile of recently emptied bottles of white wine. He tips his head to the side in consideration, then gets up and calls Crowley back
Lol, I wasn't expecting that turn of events. Love it. 😂
The smut potential for this concept tho…
The original idea I had, years ago now lol, was actually for Crowley to be able to dirty talk Aziraphale by praying while giving him a blow job. So yeah, smut potential is baked into it!
Oh my Someone, it got better 😂🤤
@ineffable-xenanigans Since you apparently joined the fandom after the following fanfiction was published, you might have missed it and be interested?
It's not exactly the plot described here, but.. pretty damn hot.
Hope the AO3 link works as intended (it looks wonky in the preview, but that might be, because the fic is locked, we'll see).
Enjoy! 😋
