Thinking about how Crowley is possibly the oldest being on earth
Domestic Crowley and Aziraphale owns my heart.
- Crowley picking up Aziraphale’s books that he’s strewn all over the place and meticulously putting them in their respective places on the bookshelves because he is, at heart, not only a Good Person, but also a Neat Freak.
- Aziraphale taking off Crowley’s sunglass if and when he falls asleep with them on and tucking him in with a blanket.
- Crowley making sure all candles lit by Aziraphale are a safe distance from anything flammable, including the angel himself.
- Aziraphale watching Bohemian Rhapsody with Crowley, after some minor pleading on Crowley’s part.
- Aziraphale making sure Crowley is as warm as bread in a toaster during the colder months. As he is a snake, afterall.
- Crowley letting Aziraphale rant about his favorite novels, or even his least favorite novels; just because Aziraphale is so impassioned by his interests, talking with his hands, and so determined his cheeks are pink.
- Aziraphale stocking up their cottage with the few foods and drinks that Crowley genuinely enjoys.
- Crowley taking Aziraphale out to parties, and restaurants, and festivals, and anywhere he thinks his angel will like.
- Aziraphale calling Crowley “Wily Serpent” or “My Dear” more often then he calls him Crowley.
- Crowley now calling Aziraphale “My Angel”, especially in public.
Just Crowley and Aziraphale being the softest angel-demon duo the universe has ever seen and ever will see.
Some random Good Omens headcanons of mine:
Adam remembers everything that happened during the apocollapse as well as all of the knowledge that came to him along with his powers. Most of the latter just stays on an unconscious level until he has a reason to think of it directly. He remembers Sister Mary Loquacious and now understands the strange urge to wiggle his toes at her when they cross paths around town.
Dog is, in many respects, much like any earthly dog but will always be something otherworldly as well. He is unswervingly loyal to Adam but it’s a toss up how well he listens to anyone else. No kennel can contain him if he does not wish to be there. He will live as long as Adam does and accompany him where ever Death chooses to take him thereafter. People should question Dog’s longevity but very few will.
Aziraphale doesn’t have time for modern music in the main but when he gives it a chance, he does like some of it. I don’t have a firm idea of what all his favorites would be, but I’m certain he quite likes the Moody Blues.
In terms of raw power, Crowley is a fairly average demon, but his imagination and willpower when something he cares about is at issue make him more dangerous than any other demon in Hell. He can use what he has more effectively and keep going past what should have been the point of exhaustion through sheer stubbornness.
The above largely applies to Aziraphale as well. He is slow to anger but when he blows it’s spectacular. When he transcends mere bitchiness into true anger it’s a righteous anger born of a need to protect what he cares about. Anger fueled by love is the sort of power that moves mountains and doesn’t hesitate to drop them directly on top of people like Gabriel.
Crowley does not go out of his way to befriend small children, cats or little old ladies, but they tend to adore him anyway. Snakes either love him or loathe him. There is no middle ground or predicting which reaction he will get from any given snake.
Mr. Scroggie will always chase but never again catch the high he got from his first seance.
After Gabriel and Sandalphon’s visit, there is a persistent rumor that AZ Fell’s has a back room with vintage porn. The more Aziraphale denies it, the more everyone believes it must be true. No one knows why the two weirdos in suits are allowed to buy, or indeed what they might have bought, since they didn’t leave with anything obviously in hand but there is much speculation. Smarmy Porn Guys become local cryptids in Soho. One popular theory is that they are aliens attempting to study humanity and have no idea what porn actually is.
Erics get no respect but they are the backbone of Hell. Someone help the upper echelons of Hell if they ever unionize.
HC that Crowley, in a moment of weakness, commissions the creation of a ring to match Aziraphale’s. It’s not identical, but looks so similar that it’s obviously intentional, as if it’s part of a matching set. He can’t wear it openly, of course, but he carries it with him on a chain around his neck.
