Here’s a thing. Aziraphale is constantly worrying out loud about Crowley (“if they find out, they’d destroy you” “it’d kill you” etc) while Crowley is 100% more practical about the whole business by showing up in the jail/church where Aziraphale is about to be horribly killed and stopping it by offing the people who would dare to touch his cinnamon roll. Also, calling him an idiot to make sure Aziraphale doesn’t know he cares, because eugh. Emotions.

6000 years and Crowley has never once failed to save him, but as the end of times creeps ever closer, he starts getting more and more emotional about it all. For the first time, he rushes up before Aziraphale is actively in danger. He actually tells him he wants to save him for the first time (and second time). He’s so desperate to save him that he lays himself completely bare, throwing caution and hesitation to the wind, and still loses Aziraphale in the flames.

And after, when Aziraphale contacts him and he whispers “I lost my best friend”, it’s the first time he’s shown his heart so openly. It’s an “I love you” and “I’m sorry I said I’d leave you behind and I’m sorry I couldn’t save you” and “I miss you” and “please come back I can’t do this living thing without you” rolled in with a thousand other emotions.

Some thoughts I’ve thought while thinking:

  1. Aziraphale probs isn’t going to embrace the free life as quickly as some might think. Sure, Heaven is now wary of whatever it is they think he’s become, but old habits die hard. He’s probably going to slip into his ol’ way of thinking at times, the anxiety will creep back in randomly, he’ll talk about “his” side and then remember. Reconditioning yourself takes time.
  2. Crowley and Aziraphale’s mortal bodies can still die. An unlikely accident could shoot them back to their respective old places of employment. That…would not be good. Worse than if they merely got stuck in a noncorporeal form.

So

It is (TV) canon than angels can catch the scent of “evil”/Crowley (when Gabriel and Sandalphon mention the shop smells “evil”). It stands to reason, then, that this works conversely. Demons can smell angels (see also: “I know what YOU smell like”).

So then in Heaven and Hell, Heaven doesn’t catch that Crowley is in Aziraphale’s corporation, and vice versa.

SO…

This means they smell so strongly of each other, at that point, that their respective bosses DON’T NOTICE.

And LOOK

I’m not saying that it’s because they went back to C’s flat after that bus stop conversation and shagged each other’s brains out, but…

I’m not NOT saying it either

No i will not take criticism thanks for coming to my hot take go spoilers good omens tv spoilers good omens crowley aziraphale
