hello! first of all i really, really love your metas and it's such a joy to read them ❤️ i'd be very interested to know what you think aziraphale's smile in the elevator meant? i've been a bit baffled by it for a long time and i just cannot come to a conclusion. sorry if this has been asked before/you've already written about it!

hi anon!!!💕 that's really kind of you to say, thank you!!!

so i did indeed answer a similar ask, but it was a while ago now, so ive just reread through to see if my opinion remains the same (oftentimes it frankly varies with the wind), and im still reasonably of the mindset that his smile is aziraphale coming up with a plan/doubling down on some kind of 'im not here to go along with your plan, im here to make a difference'.

now a lot of that conclusion does hinge on my personal thought that aziraphale is aware that metatron is trying to play him, that there is an unspoken threat or intimidation going on, and that aziraphale has just gone through the FF thinking he has no choice but to go back to heaven, lest he (and crowley, potentially) be put in danger if he doesn't. imo he's entered the FF with the mindset of 'making a difference', bc if he doesn't have a choice in the matter, he might as well go and instead further his own agenda whilst he's there. but do it with crowley, because they're on the same side.

essentially, i think aziraphale is speaking throughout the whole FF in a way that doesn't tip off the metatron that he's anything other than heaven's man, and also speaking in a way that doesn't alert crowley to the situation that they'd be in if aziraphale were to refuse the promotion. the blindside is that crowley understandably refuses to come with him, kisses him as a last-ditch attempt for him to stay, and leaves when aziraphale deals the killing blow - and the metatron drops the bombshell that is the second coming.

so when he's in the lift, you visibly see him start to panic - one last look at crowley, deep breath, and into the lift, all before he starts to breath heavily through his mouth, face lax in shock, etc. but as we hit the credits, he's stiffened up, gotten himself under controlled, and schooled his face.

frankly, i find these expressions way more alarming than the ending smile itself, but i genuinely think it's aziraphale running through everything he knows in his head, attempting to sift through possible ways in which he can make his first step, whilst keeping his expression as calm and collected as possible infront of the metatron. kinda like a game of chess - white has made its opening move, and he's running through all the different responses that could set the foundation for the entire match. i see aziraphale as a very capable analytical thinker, so - for me - this tracks.

and then it all culminates in one final moment:

his head tips back, his eyes actually move and flit around (as if he's had a eureka moment), and the tightness in his face - particularly around his eyes - relaxes. now, i don't necessarily think aziraphale suddenly has it all worked out, not at all, but whether it's him working out at least the first move he can make, or him simply steeling himself after a thorough pep-talk that he's going to see this farce through, either way - i see it as a dangerous smile. crowley told him in ep2 that he's an angel that goes along with heaven as far as he can, and aziraphale kinda knocked on the door of that at the end of s1 - enough to want nothing to do with them as we enter s2 - but i think this moment, and everything that just happened, just might be his actual tipping point.

Aziraphale and Crowley are important to me because they are true advocates of doing the bare minimum. Too many TV protagonists out there that would literally die for their jobs and I simply cannot relate

Crowley just wants a perfect garden, lush and glorious, a slice of Eden in the South Downs - as fast as possible. If only the damn plants would bend to his will.

Fortunately, Aziraphale is more than willing to teach Crowley patience and show him that good things take time to grow - in more ways than one.

Together they experience new joys in caring for each other's needs.

roots to grow and wings to fly (E, 1/2, 6.9 k)

Slowly, using only the tip of his index finger, he tried to lift the seedling back up. It flopped to the other side. Crowley let himself fall backwards into the mud. He lay there, arms outstretched, snarling at the holes of his other fruitless gardening attempts and staring into the gentle but relentless rain that pelted down on him, his hair splayed around him like a broken halo. He couldn't take it anymore.  A demon only had so much endurance. A week ago, he had thrown himself wholeheartedly into what he had called Project Garden (with capital letters indeed), spending hours and hours outdoors, even adapting to the dirt, the wet and the cold, driven by enthusiasm and a vision. The problem was, just because Crowley liked the idea of gardening didn't mean he was any good at it.

"Hard on the buttocks, horses. Major design flaw if you ask me."

This is your reminder that Crowley doesn't like riding horses because he has no ass. No ass at all. He has the physique of a svelte noodle. But instead of admitting he's the problem because he has no ass, he blames it on the design of the horse, because he can't take accountability for anything, not a single thing, not ever.
