GOOD OMENS S2 ENDING SPOILERS (but not for the plot really)
I am so glad that Crowly and Aziraphale are canon and I’m very happy for them (in terms of being canon. Obviously they are sad) but I mourn the loss of their aroace relationship. I was really hoping that we could get confirmation through an “I really love you” and then they continue how they were like they’re already at the peak of their relationship. At least kiss-averse asexuals but obviously that is no longer in the cards.
Alas, I lost perfect rep and I’m disappointed but DAMN is it a good love story. Hey, a win is still a win!! Them just being a thing is a HUGE dub

Custody Battle: Duty of Care
The Ritual of Propagation has succeeded, and Aziraphale and Crowley are preparing to welcome the newest member of Their Own Side. But the Archangels have other plans.
In this chapter, unexpected guests arrive at Aziraphale's door, and bring back more memories of his treatment long ago, in their care. Meanwhile, Gabriel investigates the progress of the current Propagation project...
CW: This chapter contains discussion of Aziraphale's past abuse, including (True Form) non-con, forced pregnancy, and physical abuse. Nothing explicit, though there are brief flashbacks as well as background instances of more non-con and abuse in present-day scenes. Also contains panic attacks, PTSD/dissociation symptoms, and emotional abuse and manipulation. Also, some FUN scenes!
Read it on AO3!
Aziraphale opened the door a crack, not even wide enough to fit his hand, and peered out into the darkness. “Hello?” he called tentatively.
“Azira—oof!” Ariel’s excited squeal was cut off by a rattling thud as they collided with the door. He ducked back behind it, fingers tightening around the knob, ready to slam it shut, but the red-haired medic just said, in a more subdued voice, “I think your door is stuck.”
“It… it’s the ward,” he explained, crouching behind the door like a shield, his free hand reaching for the fireplace poker nearby. Why hadn’t he gone to wake Crowley first? But no. He was a Guardian. This was something he should be able to handle himself. So despite his racing heart, Aziraphale said firmly, “This… this is as far as it opens.”
“Oh, no!” Through the glass, he could see the outline of Ariel pressing fingers to their lips. “How awful! You poor thing, you must be so sick of being cooped up in there. Especially knowing all these vegetables are just outside your wall. I know how much you like to walk through the vegetables.”
“…Vegetables?” He let himself relax, just a little, enough to peer back out the crack and see what Ariel was doing. “I don’t have any—”
“Like this!” They grabbed at a shrub beside the door, tugging off a few leaves. “It must be awful, knowing they’re so close but not being able to have any! Here, I’ll slide you some.” Their fingers poked through the crack, flicking in a handful of shiny green leaves.
“Er. That’s… rhododendron, not—”
“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me,” they said with a conspiratorial wink. “Can’t resist a bit of gross matter myself.” And they stuffed a leaf into their mouth.
“Ariel!” The poker clattered to the floor as his fingers scrabbled at the chain. “That’s toxic!”
But the medic immediately spat out the leaf, face twisted in disgust. “Ick. Bitter. Why would you grow something next to your door that—ohhhhh, I get it! It’s a security measure. Very clever.”
Laughing and rolling their eyes, Suriel gently pushed Ariel back and took their place before the door. Sky-blue eyes shone pleasantly as they peered inside. “Don’t mind them. Ariel always gets excitable when we visit Earth. I’m sure they’ll calm down soon.”
“But…” Aziraphale shifted so he could see both medics, his eyes darting from one to the other. “Where did you come from?”
“Just there!” Ariel bounced to try and see over Suriel’s shoulder, pointing back down the path. “Have you seen it? There’s a tunnel through the—the tall woody grass things—”
“What are you doing here?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Suriel smiled even wider. “We came to see you!”
“Congratulations!” Ariel squealed, bouncing even higher.
“Congrat… no…”
“We started making arrangements as soon as we heard,” Suriel continued. “A youngling, after all this time! I can’t tell you how excited—”
“I didn’t tell you!” Aziraphale bit his lip. He hadn’t meant to snap like that, but a strange heat was washing over him. “I—I’m sorry but you shouldn’t…” He folded his wings back, searching for Kokabiel in his mind. They were huddled deep in his down, the thread connecting their minds thinner than ever and flooded with anxiety. The panic was coming on again, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. “You can’t be here.”
“Aziraphale, I don’t understand. Don’t you want to see us?”
Yes, he did, or he had. It was part of the plan. The plan he hadn’t worked through yet. The plan to bargain for Kokabiel’s safety, but he wasn’t ready! “Yes, but I—I can’t—haven’t—” Where was Crowley? Aziraphale would make a mess of this, they’d take Kokabiel away! “It’s not…”
“Aziraphale!” A faded, distant voice through the mist. “I don’t know… calm down… talk to us…”
“I… I…” Horrible wheezing sounds with every breath. “Haven’t… sent word!” He finally managed.
“Your body shouldn’t be making those noises, Aziraphale. Is it malfunctioning? Do you need help?”
“Regulate your breathing, we can’t understand you.”
“Can’t be here!” He clung to that thought. “No one knows… no one visits… Can’t be here…”
“Aziraphale, this is Suriel. Can you hear me? We’ve been authorized to visit. Gabriel—wait!” Two pairs of hands slapped against the door, trying to hold it open as Aziraphale threw all his weight against it from the inside. “What’s wrong? Aziraphale!”
It was too late. Gabriel had gotten to them, made his own deal with Raphael. With everyone. No hope, no chance, just his room at the facility, colorless and cold, and then… and then…
“Aziraphale! Are you having a medical emergency? Can you open this door?”
“We might need to go back and get—”
“Not Gabriel!” The words tore out of his throat as Aziraphale started sobbing uncontrollably. “He can’t—he can’t—not Gabriel!” His voice collapsed into pathetic whimpers.
“Aziraphale. Can you hear me?” Suriel said, voice laced with tension. “I don’t understand what’s going on but— of course not Gabriel. If we need backup, we’ll get Raphael, or…” They hesitated. “Did you fight with Gabriel?” Another whimper. Where was Crowley? Why wasn’t he here? “Listen to me. Gabriel didn’t send us. He argued with Raphael, and xe told us to… to come check on you. Make sure you were alright.”
“It was supposed to be tomorrow,” Ariel admitted, sounding very subdued. “All three—um. Both of us plus Mumiah. No Archangels.”
“But official passage takes hours and hours to arrange so—”
“We snuck out.” Ariel laughed softly. “Still took hours, anyway. Mumiah’s covering for us…”
“…and we had to call in a lot of favors.” Suriel’s voice dropped even lower. “But we came. As fast as we could.”
“Why?” Aziraphale released the knob, arms wrapping tightly around his stomach. He still leaned against the door, wings curled about him, feeling so tired. Weak. “Why would you do that?”
“What do you mean? Because we haven’t seen you in centuries.”
“No one has,” Suriel put in. “Not a word since the Armageddon fiasco.”
Of course not. The Archangels’ silence had been part of the deal. Even the other angels at the negotiation weren’t allowed to know the final arrangements.
“The rumor is you were hurt. Real bad.” Ariel’s voice almost broke. “I didn’t believe it because… we would know, wouldn’t we? But then you missed your checkup last year, and…”
“We’ve been worried,” Suriel said softly. “I’ve been worried.”
“You’d tell us if something was wrong, wouldn’t you?” Aziraphale managed to blink away the tears, enough to see a hand pressed to the frosted glass near his face. A second, smaller hand joined it. “Not just with the youngling. Are you alright?”
“I…” A lump rose in his throat as the immeasurable weight of stress and fear threatened to drag him down again. “I’m really… I’m not…”

Lgbtq people saying it's queerbaiting because two people didn't kiss or fuck on screen has the same vibes as cisgender heterosexual people saying two characters aren't gay and completely missing romantic undertones just because the two didn't kiss or fuck on screen
Aphobia is just recycled homophobia

when I read good omens I fully interpreted ineffable husbands as an asexual couple because like.... they're supernatural beings that don't really jibe with human sex
but in the show they have so much sexual tension and I think that's because Michael Sheen always looks like he's ready to jump David Tennent's bones at any given moment and he's so real for that

Some GO fans: Neil Gaiman not writing Aziraphale and Crowley as explicitly male and sexual is queer baiting and homophobic 😡😡😡
Fans who are asexual, nonbinary, agender, etc: well I guess we should just jump in a fucking volcano then

What happens with aroace coded characters in fandoms that really annoys me:
Frodo Baggins: never involved in a relationship, loves his friends — fandom: he’s so in love with Sam, he even lets him and his family live with him
Bilbo Baggins: never married, dedicates his life to writing, adopts Frodo and loves him like a son — fandom: I ship him with Thorin so much
Sherlock Holmes: dedicated his life to his work, very loyal to his friends, never married or had a real relationship — fandom: he’s in love with Irene! He’s in love with John!
Aziraphale & Crowley: canonically ace according to the book, poster characters for a qpr — fandom: why don’t they just f**k? Why don’t they just k**s? This is queerbaiting!
There are probably more examples because it’s definitely a pattern.

You know what actually fuck off. Aziraphale and Crowley are canonically asexual so actually shut up about them fucking. “but people should be allowed to headcanon-“ NO. Two of the only canonical asexual characters should be respected, you guys get literally every other character. You wouldn’t take a canonically gay character and not shut up about them having straight sex, so shut up and let the aces have this one instance of representation actually.
