I had this cute idea but honestly I’m already writing too much stuff and drawing just as much so I guess I’m just going to share in this ‘concept’ format?
So here goes: As the years go by after the not-pocalypse, an urban legend, or myth, or whatever you want to call it, starts to spread through forums and sites dedicated to marriage organizing: If your wedding party is suddenly crashed by a couple of strange men you don’t know, and they dance, your marriage will be successful.
They’ve started to appear at random during marriage parties, no one knows exactly when. They get in, dance for a song, and get out. They look like the “opposites attract” way of saying personified, one, tall and snake-like, all clad in dark colours, and the other, just slightly shorter and huggable-shaped, in light ones. Whenever they dance at a marriage party, the newlyweds will be assured a long and happy life together.
So it becomes a sort of challenge, to try lure these two love cryptids in. People exchange tips like “Try put on ‘Another one bites the dust’ by the Queen, it worked for me!” and “I left a slice of wedding cake outside the venue and it worked like a charm”. People organise playlists that might possibly make the two men appear and dance at their wedding with the perfect song, and confronts menus with food that work as a quick tempting nibble, hopefully followed by a dance.
The whole story seems like a joke, but it’s real. And there’s a catch.
You actually have to want to make your marriage successful. You have to work for it. These two have worked to make their relationship function for 6000+ years, they ain’t about to hand out freebies to the first couple of idiots that’s getting married without truly loving one another and hope that by luring them in their relationship will work. They will bless you with a long, happy marriage, as long as you are willing to work for it.
For the most part, Aziraphale just wants to bask in a place full of love and maybe steal a bite or two of really good food, while Crowley just wants an excuse to slow dance with his Angel as they did during their marriage, without asking directly and ruining his Coolness™ by being a sap.
They both keep doing it, and a lot of happy marriages see their fleeting presence.
God approves.
