Summary

An angel and a demon are curious how it is possible to defy holy water and hellfire. Their plan comes with unexpected benefits for another pair.

Excerpt

When Crowley raked a hand through his hair in exasperation, it reminded Aziraphale once more of how silkily extra-Crowley’s strands had felt between his own fingers. A thought took shape in the back of his mind.

God, the possibilities!

“We could, you know, erm–” He looked for the right words as more heat rose up in his face.

“What? Spit it out!” Crowley squinted at him.

“Well, why not make the best of it, so to speak?” Aziraphale sidled into Crowley’s personal space and looked up at him innocently through his lashes.

That surely stopped Crowley in his tracks. His expression went blank for a moment, then his eyes darkened. A smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth when he leaned in and pulled Aziraphale closer at the waist.

“What makes you think I’m going to share you, my greedy little angel?”

Crowley 1.0 and 2.0

If you haven't read my crazy theory about there being two Crowleys, start here.

Episode 1: The Arrival

I need to figure out the tells if we're looking at Crowley 1.0 or 2.0, beyond whether he's on Aziraphale's left or right. I'm betting those changeable sideburns probably have something to do with it, besides letting us know who's perspective we're seeing through. Someone else (I do not recall who, now! Sorry!) noted a while ago that Crowley's sideburns seem to have 3 lengths -- I'm betting one length is for Aziraphale's POV, one length is for Crowley 1.0's POV, and the third length is for Crowley 2.0's POV. The sideburns aren't always easy to see in every scene, though. Things being orange seems to also be a hint that Crowley 2.0 is floating around -- orange being Crowley's secret color as far as I can tell. But that's not mega reliable in every scene, either.

It SEEMS like only 1 Crowley is out walking around at any given time, the other is being One with the book shop, as represented by the white bust and the double sets of lights for eyes. I could be wrong about that, and both Crowleys could be out roaming around doing whatever there needs to be 2 of them for. I'm not yet sure.

They do seem to be able to switch quite fluidly -- in the book shop, anyway. Any time the camera cuts away inside the book shop, we could be missing a transition between Crowley 1.0 and Crowley 2.0.

So, the scenes:

At St. James's Park with Shax, I don't yet know how to tell if that's Crowley 1.0 or 2.0. I suspect that Crowley's reflection in Shax's mirror gives us a clue that this is Crowley 2.0, but I'm not willing to swear to that. It sure seems plausible, though.

When Crowley arrives at Give Me Coffee of Give Me Death, he approaches on Aziraphale's right. That's Crowley 2.0. Crowley on Aziraphale's left/right is a dead giveaway.

The whole "Do we know a Jim?" is 2.0, but when they discuss what to do with Gabriel, Crowley is back on Aziraphale's left again, where 1.0 belongs.

The lightning strike -- I'm not sure. Since the Crowleys seem able to switch quite fluidly, particularly in the book shop, I do not know which one it is that storms out and calls lightning.

When Beelzebub shows up in the Bentley and takes Crowley to Hell, I do not know if that's 1.0 or 2.0. Again, without Aziraphale there for Crowley to be on the left or right side of, I can't say. I think there must be other tells but I don't yet know what they are. With him being on the right side of Beelzebub while they talk, I THINK that's Crowley 1.0, but I wouldn't swear to it.

When Crowley comes back and does the apology dance and they do the hiding miracle on Gabriel, that's definitely 1.0. "Jim" has so far only really met and interacted with Crowley 2.0, who goes on Aziraphale's right. So when Crowley says to take Jim's hands, Jim crosses his hands, and is surprised when Crowley 1.0 reaches over to take his left hand.

So that's what I have for the first episode so far -- I'm going to have to do some digging and see what I can come up with for tells as to which Crowley we're seeing. Having only one reliable tell is tricky. And I think which Crowley is doing what matters.

If anyone out there has ideas how to tell the two apart, I'm all ears!!

Oh look, another doppleganger.

Oh. Another me.

Well, I've seen more queer things than that.
