An Ode to Aziraphale

Aziraphale, Yes, I adore you because you are an angel. A literal angel from Heaven and yet you are not perfect.

I love that you try and do the right thing even when you know your superiors will not like it, even when your plans go awry.

I adore your sassy ass.

I think you are odd and brave and entirely too wrapped in your own head sometimes.

I love the joy you find in Earthly, human things you don't need.

You are adorable when you get annoyed.

It's very, ahh, affecting.

Your silliness makes me giggle and persuades me to be more open and free and unashamed in my own rl.

Your huge heart and openness to learn and to consider others' experience and point of view are themselves a miracle.

Angel or not, you care for the humans you don't entirely understand.

I adore that you fell in love with a demon not because he's handsome, but because he's kind and considerate, and because he cares.

I adore how much you rankle each other and yet you are each others' worlds.

I love that you pay attention. To things that may seem as ephemeral as an actor's enjoyment in playing a role, or the playwright's success with it.

I adore you for trying to cheer up a friend who you knew was very likely doing things you should be wanting to punish him for.

I love that after 6000 years with humans, watching them murder each other in increasingly innovative ways you still melt at signs of love between them.

I adore that you are happy to do things imperfectly even though you could miracle everything to be impeccable every time.

This goes for your worn, loved clothes as well.

I adore that you implicitly trust a demon.

And that you taught him to trust more as well.

I adore that you pay attention to what others do and not what they say.

I adore you for not giving up.

I adore you for making the hardest decision to have a shot at the best possible future.

You deserve to be happy angel. And adored.

I love Aziraphale because he's expected to be hard, to be a warrior, but he chooses to be soft. He's not gentle, kind, and good because he's an angel. We've seen what the other angels are like and many of them are anything but. And there's no doubt that he could be that warrior if he wanted. He was issued a flaming sword, after all. But he gave it away and seemed none to eager to use it when he finally picked it up again. No, he is who he is because he chooses to be that way again and again.

I adore that. In a world that's often so hard and in a system that expects him to be just as hard, he chooses to be soft. To be silly. He learns to dance even though angels don't dance. He learns magic and French the human way. Successful or not, he likes playing parts, living it up as a double agent and newspaperman. He wears glasses because he thinks they're nifty. He enjoys eating food and going to the barber not because he has to but because he likes being pampered. To be fussy and indulgent. Despite strength and miraculous powers, he makes himself vulnerable so that he can be coddled and rescued.

And it's not like it's easy for him. He has to struggle against what's expected of him and against judgment from the other angels. He was worried about doing the wrong thing before the beginning, before there was even really a concept of the wrong thing. He's so terribly anxious but he doesn't let it stop him from trying to do real good. He did his part to save Job's family, even when he was certain he would fall for it.

Most difficult of all, he loves. Is in love. A thing humans do, he says to the Archangels in S2. So that's not just some easy, natural, angelic thing for him. It's very human and very scary because it's not really something he's meant to do and especially not with a demon. But he pushes slowly forward as best he can. He risks small touches and can't help but wear his heart on his sleeve with that all too expressive face. He's the angelic embodiment of heart eyes. Because he wants to love and be loved.

This isn't all he is, of course. He can be bitchy and petty and hard when pushed. He can be the warrior he was built to be. Those aren't bad things. Just enough of a bastard and all that. But just enough also means they also don't define him.

Which is where my frustration comes in. I understand the desire to flip the script sometimes. I like to do it myself from time to time and definitely think Aziraphale should be allowed to take charge. But it feels like, more often than not, large parts of fandom have taken those moments and made them all of who he is. Of the two of them, he's often made to be much more impassive and distant than Crowley. It's Crowley who is more emotional, who is more overcome physically. Despite the fact that it's almost entirely Aziraphale in canon who reaches and touches. Despite Michael Microexpressions Sheen putting so much open heart into Aziaphale's face. He isn't allowed to be soft and needy, comforted, coddled, and rescued. To be the one who yearns and lets himself be weak with it.

Just... let him be soft and silly. Let him be the person he most often chooses to be.

Set It on Fire Chapter 3 - "Just Co-Workers. That's All"

“You and the angel are getting pretty fucking cozy,” said Bea, sliding on the barstool next to Crowley. “Giggling like schoolgirls. All the little touches and longing gazes. Ugh, it’s hard to watch.”

Gen X: [raises hand] Can... can we also maybe not get worked to death?

#gen x #we drank straight from the hose #our parents told us don't come home til the streetlights come on #there were literally commercials asking our parents if they knew where their kids were #shhhhh we're not really here

Yes! Hugged and kissed and petted on his fluffy head and told that he's wonderful and worthy of love.

'Aziraphale needs to do the apology dance' no Aziraphale needs to be hugged and told that he's doing a great job, actually

Set It on Fire

My new WIP!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55328716/chapters/140367808

There is fire

There is lust

Some will trade it all for someone they could trust

“Come On Home” - The Indigo Girls

Within the walls of The Desert Rose brothel, patrons seek solace and acceptance in the embrace of fleeting passions.

It’s mistrust at first sight for Aziraphale and Crowley, but they can’t deny their increasing attraction. Growing closer by the day, they find themselves torn between duty and desire as they navigate the complexities of a forbidden love that threatens to unravel their carefully constructed lives.

Here's what my betas from @whickberstreetwriters have to say about it so far!

Letha:

omfg he's so slutty I love him

clutches pearls AZIRAPHALE OMG! Teeheeee I love this!

Happynachohologram:

Crowley being a little shit and immediately causing problems for himself...very in character

Love confident, bit of a bastard Aziraphale!

---------------------------------------

I mean, they said other stuff, too, like, "fix this run-on sentence" and "that doesn't make any sense", but that's neither here nor there.

Me:

I'm going to International Night at my kid's school and I'm not going to think about Good Omens.

Also me:

Which food truck do I want to visit?Ooooo

The hand on the right is my husband's, snatching his drink back while asking me why I needed a picture of it.

The New Road is complete!

“Anyway. Yeah. So, I’m up here to give a toast. Oh. I need a drink. Like really badly.” The guests laughed more as Mira frantically gestured at her new husband, Eric, who quickly handed her a glass of wine. “You guys don’t need to hold up your glasses yet ‘cause this might take a minute.”

She took a deep, calming breath, and as she exhaled, Crowley watched her shoulders drop and a smile spread over her lovely features. “I’m here to toast to the two most magnificent people God ever created on this planet,” she said, her eyes scanning the dim room until they lighted on Crowley and Aziraphale. “There they are. My Dad and my Azi.”

Hello MissUnderstoodLyrics 😊 - just reading chapter 6 of the new fic and as you said you were open to Brit picking I wanted to let you know that in the U.K. the use of the word spastic or derivatives (even self applied) in a negative connotation is considered a massive slur and ableist language. Both Beyoncé and Lizzo changed lyrics of songs because of it. I know the fic isn’t set in the U.K. but I thought you’d like to know. Hope that’s ok. The story continues to be awesome. 🧡

Good to know! I can definitely find a different word! Thanks for the feedback!

So, one of my lovely readers asked me what Aziraphale and Crowley's cottage looks like in the story I'm currently writing:

I usually leave that up to the reader's imagination, but I'm going to put pics here of what I am visualizing when I write, just in case anybody else cares or is curious!

The floor plan was drawn by me. I am in no way, shape, or form an artist, so feel free to laugh at the hilarity of my attempt at drawing.

Also, obviously, it's not to scale.

Imagine lots of creams and beiges and tartan, of course, with some warm yellows and cool greens for accents.

What else? I bet he has some chicken decor in his kitchen.

Here's the kitchen:

And chicken decor!

Let's say, hypothetically, that you're writing a chaptered fanfic that is romance-angst-slow-burn. You've written about half and outlined the rest, and you are enjoying it.

But then you're hit with an idea for a comedy story and you're really itching to write that too.

You've never abandoned a fic and have no intention of doing so.
