sitting on that bench waiting the bus is the first time aziraphale really has to come to terms with that he is now technically fallen. he hasn’t fallen in the literal sense but its just occurred to him he can’t ever go back to heaven. its not even a case that he’s want to anyway but it was always an option before.

for centuries he’s lived in this little bubble surrounding heaven and the angels because he’s one of them, absolutely, but he doesn’t want to go back and serve with them at all. he just wants to go for lunch with his friend and look after his bookshop.

nothing is going to change in what he wants but it is suddenly more real when crowley says “we’re on our own side” now. unlike the bandstand where he still had people to answer to and thousands of years of servitude restraining him.

as aziraphale sits and waits he realises he really isn’t part of heaven anymore (but nor has he become a demon). him and crowley are of their own stock in a new and terrifying way. they’ve both fallen from their sides, neither angel or demon but their own almost human side.

aziraphale has absolutely fallen but not in the burning, terrifying way he thought he would. he came down slowly and landed before he even knew what he was doing (whilst crowley flew upwards) and it isn’t as terrible as he thought it would be.

good omens aziraphale i mean honestly he clearly hasnt realised he isn't part of heaven anymore and though heaven was just a side to him not a place he loved or called home it was a place he belonged at least somewhat and that place has been ripped away because he did the right thing but he hasn't got a hell to fall back into he's got crowley and the bookshop and all those restaurants he likes he wouldn't change that but it doesn't stop it from being scary and like a part of him has been ripped away it was always an option before at the back of his mind and now its nothing and he's allowed to be upset
