#the bathtub of hell
do you think aziraphale recognised his own words during crowley’s execution? his own words that came from a place of love and that burning need to keep crowley safe, becoming a deadly weapon against the very being he has sworn to himself he would keep from harm? it must have hurt to hear michael unknowingly throw his own words back at him, tainted with cruelty and the intent to destroy, where aziraphale’s were only ever imbued with a fervent wish to protect, with love. heaven and hell don’t even know it, but they made crowley’s trial as painful for aziraphale as they could possibly have.
Yes, it must’ve brought back a lot of memories for Aziraphale at that moment, memories he could have probably done without having to deal with right then.
But imagine how it would have gone if they had not figured out the body swap. Imagine Crowley’s there, and this is what he’ll hear before he gets dumped in the tub.
Now I made myself sad. :-(
