on some (very rare) nights in the bookshop, one of the two puts on a record they brought from Maggie and they dance in the candlelight for hours
although Crowley will forever claim to be a Queen fan first and foremost, both the angel and the demon have a soft spot for old-timey music (especially the songs with a waltz-like beat)
they spend the first few times just learning how to slow-dance (Aziraphale knows the Gavotte and Crowley...we don't talk about Crowley's...dancing...and dancing is a very generous term to describe what he does)
learning to dance goes just about as well as you would expect, but after many a trodden-on foot, the two get there
one very embarrassing time, Nina walked in on the pair in the middle of a slow-dance (Crowley's head was resting on Aziraphale's, and Aziraphale's arm was around Crowley's waist) Nina and Maggie wouldn't stop gushing about how cute they were afterwards
one time on a particularly stormy afternoon the streets outside the bookshop were deserted
well, almost deserted...
if you were looking closely, you might just catch a glimpse of a tall redhead with the brightest yellow eyes you've ever seen dancing slowly with a shorter blonde wearing an alarming amount of tartan, both of whom were staring at the other with the most adoring smile you've seen in a long time
I love these so much !!!
So, it's time for a little theory that may spiral into its own AO3 fic. My theory on what 14 uses his TARDIS for in his own time. Like 15 suggested, he uses it for therapy. 14 chooses his solo travel, not for adventure but for closure.
His first stop is to his oldest friend. He takes the TARDIS back to 2011, wearing a perception filter so he isn't mistaken for 10. And 14 attends the funeral of Brigadier, Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He stands in the back, out of sight. He mourns and grieves, letting himself stop and feel. He pays his respects to The Brig and says goodbye, promising to watch over his family. Then he catches sight of Sarah Jane and knows his next stop, another old friend.
He takes the TARDIS forward from 2011 to 2017, from one funeral to another. Still wearing the perception filter, 14 stands on a nearby hill, watching and hearing the funeral of Sarah Jane Smith. And like his old friend Jo Grant said, it breaks both his hearts. 14 leaves a TARDIS key and a version of his sonic screwdriver on Sarah Jane's grave and turns away. Unlike The Brig's funeral, 14's grief over Sarah Jane is raw and quiet. He steps away and simply whispers
"Goodbye. My Sarah Jane" and then leaves for The TARDIS, to a much happier location. 14 uses The TARDIS to attend every single major event he missed from his companions lives.
He visits Jamie McCrimmon back in 19th century Scotland, finding his old friend regained his memories in his twilight years and the two embrace and catch up with each other.
He attends weddings of his friends, Martha and Mickey, Tegan and Nysaa, Jack and River (that one throws him off slightly). He dances and laughs and lets himself feel.
He visits Chiswick in the late 2000s, standing outside the hospital and seeing Donna and Shaun leave, carrying a tiny little baby that he knows will one day be Rose Noble.
He's there for Kate Stewart after her father is gone, explaining how he was there, that he's a future Doctor. 14 lets Kate scream and shout at him and then cry on his shoulder, just holds her.
14 visits Jack Harkness after he lost both his grandson Steven and Ianto Jones and helps his friend. He drags Jack up out of his depression and helps him, even letting Jack hate him and blame him, for which Jack later apologises for.
14 goes back again to 1970's New Jersey and breaks the rules, visiting Amy and Rory in their later life. He meets their adoptive son and talks about everything that's happened to both of them, reassuring them he saved River in the end and spent 24 years in the same place as her at the end of their time together.
While 15 is off amongst the stars, fighting robots and racism and shapeshifters and Gods of Chaos, 14 is bouncing all around Earth, dropping in on old friends and healing broken trust. He goes everywhere, everywhen for everyone. He is The Doctor in a way he never was before. And he loves every minute of it.

T_T
I forgive you
okay so the shortest known battle in the history of the world was 38 minutes long. It took place in 1896, from 9:00am-9:38am
and doesn't that just scream Aziracrow?
hear me out:
Crowley: oh yeah, Angel, hell wants me to tempt some humans into starting another war
Aziraphale: Another one? really? and this soon after the civil war - it feels rather lazy, doesn't it?
Crowley: well, you know those guys, always got quotas to fill. Plus, I'm already on thin ice with downstairs at the present, I'm afraid I can't really get out of this one.
Aziraphale, sighing: I know, I know...I suppose...what do you say to a teeny tiny war?
Crowley: ...just how tiny are we talking?
im crying that ineffable pin is cute T_T
wait AND there's a sonic screwdriver one?? 10/10 adorable <3
New additions to the pin jacket!
Can y'all guess where I got these? (2 of these I haven't even posted about)
the whole time Aziraphale was pretending to be the gardener for Warlock's family Crowley was just...fixing the plants for him
like I love Aziraphale dearly but that angel cannot garden
everything is either over-watered or as dry as a literal desert
Crowley is fighting for both their jobs over here
he's just running around on his breaks trying desperately to keep the plants alive without Aziraphale or the Dowling's noticing
because he would never let his angel realise he's killing the plants
Aragon: And this is Legolas Greenleaf, son of the Elvish King Thranduil, Prince of the Mirkwood, esteemed archer.
Legolas: Yo.
I think that one of the funniest things about Legolas (especially in the movies) is that he’s literally the only Elvish prince in all of Middle-Earth but everyone treats him like he’s just a random guy. And he ACTS like just a random guy as well which makes it even better
Aziraphale: Crowley, dear, are you...crying?
Crowley: nO i'm having an allergic reaction
Aziraphale: to what?
Crowley: ...life.
Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts
a customer was browsing in the bookshop (much to Aziraphale's displeasure) when they overheard the lovely Mr. Fell using a pickup line on his partner?? friend?? with the sunglasses - the classic "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" (except he said it in a far more serious manner than it warranted)
given Sunglasses's...vibes, they were expecting him to say something along the line of "Actually, I clawed my way up from hell" or another equally cheesy phrase
what they weren't prepared for, however, was for Sunglasses to take a shuddering breath and whisper "yeah...yeah, angel, it did."
Here to ask that final question of the good omens question game! :D Okay here I go:
Has something happened or have you met someone because of good omens, something that wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't have watched the show? Can be anything!
(This is canihearawahoo btw but questions are only via main account :) )
Thank you for the question :D
Surprisingly, yes! After watching the show I read a couple of fics that featured some really good discussions around gender and the term genderqueer and something just clicked for me?? Like, I knew was some flavour of not-cis before the show but I hadn't heard that particular label used before...so anyway Good Omens helped me figure out I was Genderqueer \(^_^)/
