One last day to go at Leipzig bookfair.
Until I continue the diary, I'll leave you some very cute pics of Crowley and Aziraphale cosplayers whom I saw walking by our booth.
There even was a big cosplay meetup of about fourty to fifty people, which I unfortunately couldn't attend 'cause I was working. Well, maybe next time. 😁
Smiles I will miss for the rest of my days on Earth.
Should've talked to him sooner, I guess. Before Heaven came and stole him away.
Why did it have to be so complicated to figure it all out?
Why is it always too late?
Just some wonderful smiles ❤️
In the first scene, Aziraphale tries very hard to convince the other angels that Crowley is an enemy. It doesn't work for all of them because Michael grows suspicious, but the others seem fairly convinced, he's telling the truth.
In the second scene, Aziraphale tries to convince Crowley that the Metatron is a good guy. The phrasing he uses is similar as in the first scene, and so is his tone of voice.
I think it's possible that at this point of the story Aziraphale already feels or even understands that the Metatron is not a good guy, but he either tries to convince himself that this feeling is wrong or he tries to keep up appearances.
Of course, it's entirely possible that the similarity between both scenes is a coincidence, but in GO there are so many hidden clues between the lines that there might be some significance to it.
Yeah, well, sometimes I forget that I've got wings, too. Or I forget that I could just turn into a big badass snake.
There's one thing I don't forget, however: Rescuing me makes him happy, too.
Snoose the Goose. The Snoose Game. (Az wins the fuck-shit-up wingspan.)
Uploaded the next part of the diary entries on AO3 :
Basically, it's those parts where my former boss ambushes me and I have to explain to them about pacts. Because they seem to have forgotten all about pacts in these few months out of Hell. Anyway, I can't think of any demon going for that USB plan thingie.
Thanks to @taraiha for constantly reminding me that ducks have ears and for making sure, my phone did not block the bookshop's number. And thanks to Nina und Maggie and @muriel-not-the-dim-one for not giving up on evil old me, although I am... well, maybe not evil all the time, but nasty, snarky, grouchy, grumpy and most of all stubborn.
And thanks to londondavi_2008, ineffablymiles, AMagnificentObsession, RainbowCloud31, IAmtheproblem, oboextra, CrissyCoo, Lilyfev, telekinesiskyle7, and Clorofila for leaving kudos and comments on my whiny ramblings (and Aziraphale's beautiful and poetic words).
I'll go back to missing my angel now.
*curls up in a little snake ball of pain*.
This is beautiful. The memories hurt like worse than Hell, but I just want to look at my angel right now and have myself a good cry.
Somehow, I don't want to believe that something that lasted this long can simply be over in a heartbeat. It just can't be.
He can't be gone for good...
New Good Omens Fanvid!
This song was requested by the very kind and lovely @celestialcrowley, and I really hope I did their vision justice. Since it was meant to be a surprise edit, well, surprise! Here it is. (lol/yikes)
The song and artist are not familiar to me, but I had a good time working with what felt like a good edit to fit it. I even made two versions: this one, which I prefer, and a sadder one which might show up later. Anyway, it was an incredible honor to have someone ask for a song so I guess this is me saying have at it, if you want.
And I hope you enjoy this. :)
Good. So, there's at least one universe that has a happily-ever-after in store for us. Congrats to you, other me!
I will read your entries, while I drive around in my Bentley missing my angel who has gone up to Heaven and whom I probably will never see again.
Wait... reading and driving at the same time might not be the best of ideas...
I’d like to announce that after many, many years of courtship, I have participated in the very human (and quite romantic) act of marriage.
It was even better than Jane Austen presented.
Well, I don't know about the Crowleys of other people's headcanons, but as for me, I'm never setting foot in that bookshop again.
What should I do in a place where he isn't, but everything reminds me of him? Torture myself on purpose? Get Muriel into even more trouble with Heaven so their superiors kick them out and he looses the bookshop for good?
And besides... walking back into a place where I just made a very dramatic exit from - nah, not really my style. So, no bookshop for me.
I've been hanging out in my car ever since the shop was entrusted to Muriel, and Hell still refuses to give me back my flat.
And my Bentley doesn't even remotely look like a beach. It's not gonna start being yellow again.
Fascinating that the fandom has basically torn itself apart about Aziraphale…what are his intentions? his motivations? did he do the right thing in going back? what’s he planning? …but everyone just somehow agreed that Crowley’s one job in s3 is to hang out in the bookshop until Aziraphale gets back…basically his s3 job is Beach.
Sleep
2. More sleep
3. Burn the mail Shax put under my Bentley's wipers.
4. Curse Heaven, Hell, the World and everything.
5. Find something else to burn.
6. Go back to sleep.

"Back in 1941 when we were in the bookshop, there was this song playing on the radio that Aziraphale liked so much. Something about angels dining at the Ritz and a nightingale.
He still refused to dance with me, though, because well, angels don't dance.
A few days later, though, when I drove by the bookshop, I saw him dancing in there all alone by himself. His eyes were closed and he had this dreamy far-off expression on his face that he sometimes gets when he reads one of his favourite books or smells some very delicious food. I've also seen this expression when he listens to his favourite composers, but never before with a modern song.
So, angels do dance, they just do it when no one's looking. I suppose, the cat's not dead as long as no one opens the box.
The very same song was playing on the radio again. Of course, I couldn't hear it through the windows of the bookshop, but I had the radio turned on in the car.
Some time after the war, when the song stopped being famous and wasn't played on the radio anymore, I sent Aziraphale a record of it. He never mentioned it, but he must have known it was from me because he said something about dining at the Ritz in a conversation we had a few years later.
Actually, the song isn't even about angels dining at the Ritz, that's just a figure of speech. It's about two lovers who spend one magical night with each other, but for some reason, they can't stay together and have to say goodbye in the morning.
I have the head canon that at some point, I like to think 1941, Crowley tried to slow dance with Aziraphale. He just got caught up in the moment and the music, extended their hand and said something like ‘may I have this dance’ or something like that. In response Aziraphale, even though he wanted to with every fibre of his celestial being, only sat up straight,cleared his throat and said ‘ Crowley, you know quite well that angels don’t dance’ and Crowley sat down again.
That’s why Crowley says‘you don’t dance’ at the ball.

Good Omens fanstuff, mostly Crowley's PoV. Post Season 2. Mild content warnings for swearing, misuse of alcohol and angst.
