I can't get over the fact that Good Omens COULD have set up a narrative of Oh No The Demon Is Infuriatingly Attractive To Me What Will I Do???!? and chose instead to reverse it. Aziraphale is absolutely the femme fatale that Crowley can't resist. And he does it by being rather adorable. Like.....his arsenal of femme fatale weapons includes pouting and fits of pique. And Crowley is a cartoon of heart eyes floating behind him. What a magnificent choice.
(@ransur) #not that this post isnt 100% accurate bc crowley definitely is the messy pining one #but we do get a couple of moments where aziraphale is like 'good lord he looks good this century' #stolen glances and little unconcious smiles he has to reign in before crowley catches him
(@qqueenofhades) /CACKLES I MEAN THEY VERY MUCH DID SET UP SAID NARRATIVE THAT IS 100% A THING THEY DID 'CROWLEY! OH GOOD LORD!' SAYS THE ANGEL HAVING GOTTEN HIS DUMB ASS LOCKED UP IN THE FRIGGING BASTILLE EXPLICITLY TO GET HIS BOYFRIEND TO RESCUE HIM BUT YES THEY HAD THE TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL DEMON BE AN ABSOLUTE FRIGGING MESS OVER THE FUSSY ADORABLE ANGEL 'CARTOON OF HEART EYES FLOATING BEHIND HIM' IS A DELIGHTFUL TURN OF PHRASE ANYWAY YES
I am glad you are both engaging with me on this, clearly the best of all meta, but can I just point out: Crowley is in ZERO ways performing a seductive demon to Tempt Aziraphale, regardless of how Aziraphale rakes his eyes up and down Crowley’s body sometimes. Like, the only thing less get-over-able than Crowley heart-eyes-ing his way down the street behind Aziraphale is how goddamn hiLARious the moments are that Aziraphale chooses to be like WOW, YOU HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING OUT about. Like. The Bastille, an excellent point you raised. Crowley looks absurd. He has the worst hair he ever had. He’s not even, like, posed for Sexy. He is posed for Dramatic Reveal.
And then Aziraphale acts like he’s wearing lingerie and maybe doing a quick burlesque show.
What’s especially wonderful about the 6k year slowburn from Aziraphale’s POV is how he actually really does believe Crowley is, like, Erotically Charged at all times. Crowley is leaning against a bookshelf trying to keep himself from vibrating into another dimension from nerves, quietly clenching and unclenching the hand Aziraphale brushed up against earlier, and Aziraphale acts like he’s doing the dance of the seven veils.
This entire post has SENT me, I feel like I’ve just read the hottest fanfic of my life. Crowley is a cartoon of heart eyes floating behind him, YES he is.
Somebody has started writing this fic. Its 5:1:1 on AO3. Basically 5 times Crowley seduced Aziraphale without trying, one time he tries and fails and then I think a reversal is planned. They've only written up to unintended seduction 3 so far.
