A Nightingale Sang in 1941
This is my inaugural meta (yay!) Eventually I will learn how to add gifs and whatnot to make this more interesting but today, I give you a wall of text.
I need to give credit where credit is due to three existing metas that I’m drawing upon heavily here:
- A speculative continuation of the 1941 story, which includes an almost-kiss while “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” plays on the gramophone,
- A behavioral analysis of Aziraphale during the S2E6 finale (will find ref later if possible)
- A meta-analysis of the way in which “coffee” is used as a symbolic equivalent for liberty and freedom of choice, a running theme of this show (will find ref later if possible)
I’m going to expand upon meta #2 and #3 and explain why I think there is are very compelling reasons to believe that #1 will be canonized.
yes this.
ixremember my initial impression from that scene was "aziraphale is bursting to try to speak, while crowley is choking on his words" which i now see isn't from happy/sad, it's from terrible danger/safe at last how do i do this.
also my plea again for everyone to please archive your meta on ao3 if you haven't already, tumblr is increasingly cumbersome and wastes even more time chasing down notifs, than it did a few short months ago, never mind back when i could actually see all my notifs without having to jot down and dismiss most of them. if you need an invite, ask, any of us would be happy to help.
