hey finally came on here in who knows how long. im bored lol so hereās a story/fanfic idea for good omens. anyone who sees this is free to write from it, I donāt have the energy or motivation to write it myself lol so have fun.
basically 20-50 years pass on and Aziraphale had done everything in his power to delay/stop the second coming. he obviously failed and realized Crowley was right about Heaven. second coming was happening soon (in the next 100 hundred yrs but soon to beings like him).
heās grown tired mentally/physically/spiritually/everything he is, is exhausted. heās tried for many years to change, delay, or stop the second coming in hopes of saving the earth. his home. those 20-50 yrs thatās passed on feels like an eternity instead. he never got the chance to actually let himself cry or let out everything heās been feeling. he hasnāt had anyone to talk to or connect with. even with all the angels in Heaven at his side whenever he needs something done, he never got close with any of them except Muriel.
But even with Muriel he didnāt feel that exposed, he couldnāt be. not when he wasnāt sure it was totally safe. he looks back on his time with crowley both with happiness and extreme pain/hurt. he wants to cry every time he remembers the way they broke up but canāt. not around other Angels, he never rlly gets a moment to himself either.
the only time heās ever felt safe, happy, and so exposed was with crowley. Crowley could still be on earth so he felt the need to protect it. their earth, their home.
but his excuses and all the effort heās putting into stopping Heaven seems to be in vain and completely hopeless. they are set in their path for earths destruction. thatās what going to happen and there was no stopping it, not like Armageddon last time. there was nothing he could do.
so he makes a plan for his future. all his energy and motivation to keep going is running out so he wishes for eternal peace. he did everything he could in his mind. he planned to visit crowley one last time as a final goodbye before going to the cosmos and turning into a star.
yes very cheesy but I imagine Aziraphale turning into a star by wrapping himself up in a ball, shutting his eyes as to slumber forever, and then be wrapped up in his warm wings like a blanket. then turning into a star, a ball of light. but heād shine the brightest out of all the stars, a star u could see at any point from any part of the world.
but this would mean giving up his memories and everything he is. it would be called the angels death (cheesy again ik but I love angst) but he wouldnāt have to have a painful death like putting himself in hellfire.
so in short to stop my ranting he goes into his office one day, cries to himself since he has the chance to, writes a long letter to crowley of all the things he wished he said āI love youā and all that, sees crowley, they both are devastated to see each other again, itās awkward asf with silence so Aziraphale puts the letter on the table, he states that this is their final meeting, and almost leaves until heās stopped by crowley, they talk for a bit about everything, Aziraphale says what heās doing (turning into a star) and that he wonāt bother Crowley anymore, and crowley yet again stops him. heās shocked by that but then sees how worn out Aziraphale looks and feels sm pain from the past/concern for him.
Aziraphaleās like hell no bc that could put crowley in danger but crowley then admitted that if Aziraphale didnāt come today he wouldāve probably gotten the courage to drink the holy water he had stored somewhere. they both stand in shock, esp Aziraphale. Crowley looks away.
Aziraphaleās unsure of what to do but crowley wants to leave with Aziraphale or wants to do whatever he wished to do. then they both live in a house in space like in Zathura happy ever after the end. (Ofc not lol if anyone writes a fan fic based off this, make it as angst as possible but also throw in some very sweet/personal moments in there.) also if they do all this, make sure crowley keeps some spare holy water too just in case things go wrong and Aziraphale later finds it, just an extra angst scenario for u to add haha.
now that my rants over this should be more than enough inspo for anyone. have fun and byee
