Absolutely fine.
I wrote the relationship in the TV show, as David and Michael and Douglas and I have been cheerfully explaining to people for a long time now, as a love story, between an angel (mostly male-presenting but at one point sharing a female body) and a demon (mostly male-presenting except when he’s a nanny).
I have, for the last thirty years, believed firmly that anything anybody wants to bring to their Aziraphale and Crowley (and Anathema and Newt and Beelzebub etc) headcanon is good with me (dating back to the days before Ineffable Husbands and Air Conditioning, to the distant past when people told me they were writing Crowley and Aziraphale Slash). That’s the joy of fanfiction, the joy of fandom, the joy of headcanons. It makes me disappointed when people feel that I’m being mean by not endorsing their particular headcanon as the Only Truth, but as far as I’m concerned, what’s on the page or on the screen is the Only Truth, and anything imagined beyond that is headcanon, so at best I’d just be telling you what I (half a book author, whole TV series author) happen to think.
Does that help?
