What if, after the failed Apocalypse, Crowley and Aziraphale get closer and closer to the line between good and evil, and they both eventually fall/rise. Aziraphale becomes a demon, and later Crowley an angel. But, right when they start adjusting to the change, then they rise/fall again, going back to how they were before. And then it happens again. And again. And again.
They are so close to the middle line that they are confusing the system. They oscillate from one side to another, from angel to demon.
When Aziraphale (first) fell, he freaked out for almost an entire month. Crowley couldn’t find him anywhere, and was extremely worried (though he’d never admit to it)
Aziraphale did approach Crowley eventually, and the demon held him tight and reassured him. And he spent as much time as was neccesary to help Aziraphale get used to being a demon.
When Crowley, more than a year after the day when Aziraphale fell, woke up to white wings and a halo, he cursed under his breath and went back to sleep.
Aziraphale was just as supportive as Crowley was. It’s a little easier for Crowley, because he’s been an angel before, but he is still not happy with it.
By now they live together, in a nice reclusive cottage. Neither the demon-turned-angel nor the angel-turned-demon want to face busy crowds of humans while they are still adjusting to their changes.
Then Crowley falls again, which pleases him. And, when Aziraphale rises, they plan to put this all behind them.
Except Crowley rises again, and he is not amused. Then Aziraphale falls, then he rises, and then Crowley falls, and then they realise it’s not going to stop happening any time soon.
Adam, who is by now in his thirties, likes to call them “Schrodinger’s angel”. Neither of them find it funny.
It was especially awkward the one time it happened right during their wedding. They were both angels at the time, so they thought to have it in a church, but then Aziraphale turned into a demon right in the middle of the service.
In one particularly eventful day, Crowley managed to go from demon to angel and back to demon in a timespan of less than seven hours.
They have to double-check what side they are on at the moment before they touch any holy water or hellfire. It’s rather awkward, but they do eventually learn how to handle it all.
The head offices of Heaven and Hell absolutely hate this situation, but there isn’t much they can do about it.
