Another Good Omens 3 ending I would have liked better than the (in my opinion) very tragic and unfair one we got. It's probably been said before but this is my interpretation! I think this could have been beautiful and it would stick to the same themes as Season 1.
Crowley and Aziraphale could have wished for their world to be restored back to the way it was before the Book of Life was stolen. But with one caveat: Heaven and Hell as a system have to be dismantled. And that God or any otherwordly beings could never interfere with Earth, or any life for that matter, again. Even after the universe has ended (aka God can't just restart her plan in the universe after).
This would not only give us back all the people that disappeared from the Book of Life, including the angels that were murdered, but it would allow for people to have free will from then on, just like Crowley wanted. The human souls trapped in Hell would fade away, their endless torture over. The human souls in Heaven would do the same. Angels and demons would have nothing to work for, therefore they would finally have free will to do whatever they wanted. If they wanted to live among humans, sure. If they wanted to explore the cosmos, they could do so. If an angel wanted to run away with a demon, something that was forbidden before, they could do so. If a demon really liked torturing they could miracle it so, whatever gets them going, I say. If they didn't want to keep existing for eternity, they could turn themselves human and live out the rest of their days on Earth, without the worry of the afterlife. I imagine that since they can choose who they want to be, it's possible a demon could be an angel again.
Jesus' plot wouldn't be so pointless because he could keep spreading joy and peace just as he wanted. He couldnt use miracles to affect people's minds or do anything that would take away their free will, but he could give people peace of mind just like before. God could sit atop her throne and watch, but never interfere. She would probably like that better than disappearing completely. The Metatron would probably stay as her right hand, or maybe he would go off on his own, who knows.
The Book of Life would stay as it is, but it can never be altered, because doing so would break the rules. I imagine that if anyone tries to grab it, like Michael, their hands would just fade through like when Muriel tried to touch Gabriel's file. All of the people we've grown to love throughout the show will be alive. Gabriel and Beelzebub will be alive, and allowed to keep exploring the universe together. Muriel wouldn't have to be a lowly employee anymore, they could do whatever they want. Poor Eric doesn't have to be disposable demon fodder anymore.
Most importantly, Crowley gets his wish for humanity's free will and Aziraphale gets his: finally being with Crowley. No rules, no sides, just US. They can explore the cosmos together, they can stay in the bookshop and slowly try to restore Wickber St, they can get their South Downs cottage. They can get married, because why not! The point is that it would be a happy and satisfying ending for everyone, human, angel, demon, and all others alike.
Sure, there may be plot holes and things that you can argue against. I absolutely admit to that; I'm not a writer. But there are plot holes in the canon ending, too. At least this one wouldn't involve universal genocide just to give us a new world (a world that humans have STILL messed up). We need endings, especially for queer stories, that keep the hope alive. I want to feel like everything will be okay at THIS time, in THIS place, with THESE people. No one should have to feel like everything starting over would be better, no matter how screwed up the world is. You matter, your experiences matter, your memories matter, your love matters. And Aziraphale and Crowley deserved to feel like that too.
