I’d love to rec “Faces Chosen” by Euterpein on AO3. Canonverse with a slight twist on the scenario: since the Fall, Crowley, the ultimate tempter, has a demonic “power” which means that when someone looks at him, they see whatever they most want him to be. It takes him until the end of the world to ask Aziraphale what he sees. It’s a lovely little ficlet.

Sure thing!

Faces Chosen by Euterpein

He had figured out in those earliest of days that every creature saw in him whatever they wanted to see--whatever or whoever they desired most in that moment, superimposed onto him like a reflection on still water. They could touch him, feel him, and only ever feel what they wanted to feel.

Crowley has spent the past six thousand years avoiding the question he most dreaded the answer to: what did Aziraphale see when he looked at him? In the wake of the failed apocalypse, he finally finds the courage to ask, but Aziraphale's answer is nothing close to what he'd imagined...
