I feel like whenever anyone talks about the whole "falling in love after taking shelter from the rain together" thing, they always compare it to those two scenes where Aziraphale and Crowley each used one of their wings to shield the other from the rain...

But I've always thought the scene that best matched this was in the second episode (the same episode where they first mentioned falling in love whilst taking shelter from the rain) when Crowley and Aziraphale were stormed in together in Job's cellar —

— the scene where Crowley convinced Aziraphale to try food for the very first time only for him to wind up loving it, where they had a heart-to-heart while the storm raged outside, where Crowley drank and Aziraphale feasted and they talked and talked and talked and talked...

Teeny tidbits from Season 2 that are references to the book

1. Milton Keynes

There's a joke in the book, when the Arrangement is being described, that neither Aziraphale or Crowley were responsible for the building of Milton Keynes but both reported it as a success to their superiors. In the footnote, it describes Milton Keynes as a new city "built to be modern, efficient, healthy, and, all in all, a pleasant place to live. Many Britons find this amusing."

When Crowley and Aziraphale enter the Dirty Donkey, Aziraphale miracles this man so he gets up from his table. He's reading a newspaper with a headline about Milton Keynes - "Modern, Efficient, Healthy and Pleasant living accommodation in Milton Keynes".

2. Shakespeare's Lost Plays

When describing the publishers that printed Agnes Nutter's book of prophecies, Bilton & Scaggs, the book enumerates their three great publishing disasters. The second disaster is that they obtained one of Shakespeare's lost plays called The Comedie of Robin Hoode, or, The Forest of Sherwoode - but then they lost it. Another of the fictional plays is Golde Diggers of 1589. Both of these plays can be seen in the box of Gabriel's stuff when Crowley is looking into it.

(The Trapping of the Mouse = The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, and Golde Diggers of 1589 = Gold Diggers of 1933, a film by Busby Berkeley).

I'll update if I find any more :)

This scene always gets me because you can see his thoughts shift. It starts out as “I tempted an angel. I tempted an angel and it worked!!.” Then it turns into, “Wait, what’s wrong with me? I like this. Why do I like this?” Then years later, he’s always taking Aziraphale out to eat and saying stuff like “I can slither over and watch you eat cake.” He’s so down bad

Season 2, episode 2 ‘The clue’ post 2

Stop his lil glasses are so cute and he does lil arts ahhhh does he have a whole folder of drawings I need to see them

*deep breath*

The CHEST touch.

I think I need to lie down. And Crowley doesn’t react as if Aziraphale never touched him-so we KNOW THEY BEEN TOUCHING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE

Two icks in one day, Azi I having a rough time. Maybe his ick is just anyone who isn’t Crowley. And I think Crowleys ick is anyone except Aziraphale.

Also this is what the newspaper says what on earth

‘Vavoom’ my new favourite word.

I love how they both have completely different ideas about love. Crowley thinks it’s a sudden, powerful, passionate moment of realisation when two people are forced together by difficult circumstances. Azirphale thinks it’s a slow, fashionable stroll that happens in a quiet, dignified sort of way until they have a beautiful, poetic moment of realisation in the middle of the dance floor.

I’ll let you think about how that translates to the last episode and it’s events… Crowley really tried for that movie moment

WALK THAT DEMON LIKE A DOG AZI. No wonder Nina thought they were an item Crowley spends this entire season following Azirphale around going ‘oh’ whenever he Azi says something clever. And she’s probably been watching them do this since S1 so she just assumed.

One thing I keep coming back to with the season finale is the part of Nina and Maggie's conversation with Crowley that I feel is most overlooked:

"You and your... partner have been messing about in our lives. We're not a game. We're real people. You can't just pair us up for your amusement."

Maggie says it another way in episode 2, "And you're quite right, it's not your job to sort out my doomed love life," - and is promptly ignored by Aziraphale. He acts with the best of intentions, but still ignores Maggie's stated wishes, going so far as to stage a ball and make it so everyone knew the steps to the dances without ever having learned them.

It's the same thing with Job in that same episode. Everything that happens to Job is because God has a bet with Satan. From the sounds of it, God and the angels have every belief they'll win the bet and plan to restore everything to him twice over - which sounds well enough on the surface, but still causes Job a lot of needless pain and suffering for the sake of a bet.

And when Job asks why? He essentially gets told I am God. I know better than you. God is playing a game with the universe and won't tell the other players the rules. Crowley never claims the same with Nina and Maggie, but is still clearly confused by their words, believing that he was helping.

I'm not sure what I'm getting at here beyond an overarching theme of you can't play god with other people's lives. Even if you're doing it out of the very best intentions, they're still people with free will. Trying to change them - even just to help them along - is wrong.

Perhaps the end of season three will end with Crowley and Aziraphale sitting down with God like Nina and Maggie did with Crowley at the end of season two and explaining they don't care for having their lives messed with for God's amusement.
