Hi guys! I’m sorry, I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but do you have any recs where Aziraphale thinks demons/Crowley can’t love? And he gets proven wrong, of course. Thank you for all that you do!
Hello. We have some fics in which Aziraphale doesn’t believe Crowley loves him here and here on our #not actually unrequited love tag. And here are some fics in which Aziraphale doesn’t think Crowley loves him and is proven wrong...

Demons can’t feel love, but Aziraphale can’t help noticing how much Crowley’s suddenly flinging the word around.
A feather to guide you home by IneffableDemon (T)
"I found the feather the day we met, okay? You were…" Crowley waved his hands around, trying to find the correct words. "I don't know, kind, nice, but not the usual cold angelic nice. You were actually nice. And you were different."

“I’m sorry," said Aziraphale. "It’s just that it’s been a rather long time since anyone…ah, never mind that. It’s a pleasant feeling, that’s all.”
“A pleasant feeling,” Crowley echoed. There was a very, very strange expression on his face. “A pleasant feeling. To be… loved?”
That’s Not Funny by cyankelpie (G)
Aziraphale has never sensed even a shred of love from Crowley, which is perfectly alright. It isn't Crowley's fault demons can't love. But then Crowley makes what must be a cruel joke at his expense, and Aziraphale can't control his emotions as well while drunk.
Luckily, he doesn't remember the confession in the morning. Crowley doesn't see why the angel was so upset over something he probably knew all along, but he'll make sure it stays forgotten.
Thy Cup Runneth Over by childrenofthesun (M)
A few decades before the Apocalypse, the Archangels discover that Aziraphale is irreparably in love with Crowley.
Rather than smiting the demon, they take pity on their Earthbound operative, and remove the obstacle by giving Aziraphale exactly what he wants.
But obviously, a demon would never be able to feel love on their own, so they have to do something to ensure that Crowley will reciprocate Aziraphale's feelings…
Somebody to Love by Bookwormgal (T)
Everyone knows that demons can’t feel love. It was one of those well-established facts that no one even bothered to doubt anymore. The sky is blue, the Ineffable Plan was beyond comprehension or understanding, angels do not question or doubt Her commands, and demons can’t love. Angels could sense love and none of them ever sensed love in the presence of demons. Everyone considered that to be conclusive evidence and moved on. Believing otherwise was foolish and a waste of time.
But while it was considered an unquestionable fact of the universe, it wasn’t quite accurate. Demons were perfectly capable of feeling love. Any form of love. Despite common knowledge and despite the fact that the Fall ensured that they could no longer sense Her love, demons can experience love.
What demons can’t do, however, is feel love and survive.
