Nanny Crowley makes me sob

[jack-the-fool]

Aziraphale: I love children! :) They're so pure and innocent :):) and they inspire such care and devotion. It's impossible for a child to be evil, they're simply beings of pure love :):):):):)

Crowley: *holding out Warlock* You wanna hold him then?

Aziraphale: Oh dear god no

Just a funny Good Omens AU idea.

It’s been posed before the idea of Crowley and Aziraphale taking Adam and raising him as their own, but what if they kidnapped Warlock, working under the idea that he’s still the antichrist.

Then for years Crowley and Aziraphale raise Warlock as the most human human - not out of their blatant attempts to make him good or evil but because Crowley and Aziraphale, for ethereal beings, are very human. Warlock grows up loving books and knowing how to repair busted novels as well as raising very beautiful plants.

Then, on his birthday, the two wait for the hellhound to show. They’ve hoped until now that they have perfectly made a balanced antichrist to avert the end (and, admittedly, they really do love the kid - they want him to experience this world).

And then... nothing.

Except Crowley gets word that the dog has arrived.

The two freak and Warlock is pulled into his Dad’s shenanigans as the truth starts falling. He’s a little freaked that they kidnapped him as a baby but also they’re an angel and demon??? There’s an Antichrist???

Warlock is a weird mix of practical and his own chaos. He actually finds Adam before his dads and decides to go out and meet this kid (he ends up on a bus with Aziraphale being told that he went to Crowley’s, Crowley thinking Warlock is with Aziraphale - this means when Crowley thinks Aziraphale is dead, he thinks the same of Warlock and really breaks; Aziraphale, when learning Warlock is missing, is also panicked). Eventually Warlock arrives in Sheffield and texts his dads, which then leads to more chaos.

It all comes to a head as Warlock arrives to see Adam go Nuclear, he is like “HEY! ANTICHRIST! Cut it out! You’re going to give my dads an aneurism!” Warlock, having been privy to the whole truth, tells the other kids and they ride off to the base. Later, when Aziraphale and Crowley stop time with Adam to cheer him on, Warlock sneaks in and holds Adam’s back.

Adam remakes reality ok. He makes everything fair and relatively safe once more.

Warlock returns with his dads,,, but over time he also sees little grey wings on his back. Apparently, Adam made him half-angel and half-demon.

Warlock and Adam remain friends, like brothers. Crowley and Aziraphale raise their weird son and have dinner at the Ritz with the three of them as the video cuts out.

an angsty thing about warlock

Warlock's parents fight a lot. Usually when they think he's asleep or when he's at school. Little do they know, he stays awake much longer than usual. He hears servants and chefs talk about the fights his parents have. He has eyebags heavier than a ton of rock.

He can't magically pour two pounds of sugar on the heavy feeling on his shoulders akin to thick, unsettled concrete. But he does have a slight remedy to his problems. A short 30 seconds of solace.

Nanny Ashtoreth's lullaby.

He might be a tad older than the age intended for it, but he still sung it to himself when the house was quiet and none were around or awake to hear it. Although it was coming from a hoarse, choked voice, it still helped him sleep better.

Even 4 years later, when he's fifteen years old, he still sings it to himself.

And so when Nanny Ashtoreth comes back to visit, she asks him for a tour. He agrees, stuttery and still shocked. Ashtoreth looks like she never aged a day. Perhaps she didn't, but that's preposterous. Look at Warlock himself, he's a sleep deprived mess with braces and acne. But still, Ashtoreth is flawless.

He shows Ashtoreth all the usual places, which all look a pinch different, new carpet in some places, granite countertops in others, and eventually he shows her the garden, most plants in the process of dying or already dead. She frowns for the first time since she visited, noticing the man meant to be the new gardener slacking off and sitting in the grass, his hat over his head and dead asleep. She glares more than she intended, Warlock hurrying her off to show her his room.

"Sorry if it's a mess, no one told me you were coming."

"I'm sure it's fine, dear."

But alas, Warlock knew it wasn't. He looked down at his shoes as he pushed the door open.

His room was absolutely trashed. He didn't have to look up to know that.

Ashtoreth's heels clacked against the ground as she walked in. "Ah, see? There's not a trace of a mess here. You should open the windows, though."

Warlock looked up, and his room was indeed neat and tidy.

What?

He knew he didn't leave it like that. It was always ruined, only having a mildly clear path lined from his bed, to his door, or bed to dresser. Every other spot was full of discarded clothes and other things he didn't bother put away. To see it perfectly clean was....

A miracle.

Nanny Ashtoreth: Isn't it past your bedtime?

Warlock: Isn't it time you died?

[domos-toon-tells]

Warlock: Why don’t you just go on your date?

Crowley: Oh, you would just love that wouldn’t you.

Aziraphale: I would.

Crowley: So would I angel, but I must displine our son first.

Warlock: Why don’t you drink some tea, this might take some time Father.

Aziraphale: Splendid idea, Warlock, I think I’ll just do that.

Crowley: What did you.

Warlock: Absolutely nothing.

Crowley: Angel! Don’t drink the tea!
