I have this idea that since Crowley *was* one of the higher-ups, that's how he *knows* Metatron is bad and can't be trusted.
It's why he's so desperate for Aziraphale to have said no.
Gabriel and Beelzebub is the best Enemies to Lovers. Also unexpected.
And the way their hands just barely touch when giving each other gifts? 😍
Considering the implications, Unity Kincaid is taking the whole "had a child while I was asleep" thing *extremely* well.

"Are you trying to tempt me?"
"You're an angel, you can't be tempted."
I wonder if there are any Crowley x Aziraphale fics or amvs inspired by Hozier's From Eden.
"Honey, You're familiar like my mirror years ago"
Crowley can see the ideology of an angel trying to be the best he can be with how their psychology works and he can just see that path and how fucked it is.
"Idealism sits in prison/Chivalry fell on its sword"
The way the angels are working they're in a prison of their own making. They don't see how asanine they are compared to how the world works. Even demons understand things more because of how damned they are.
But angels are supposed to be the ideal beings, but their innocence is perverted. * cue James Baldwin quote here*
"Innocence died screaming"
I BET you Crowley screamed while falling to hell because he realized how backwards the angel ideology is. Plus the physical pain.
"Honey ask me I should know"
Reference back to the mirror. He knows the end result.
"I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door."
The fiction writes itself.
Since Aziraphale's halo blew up, does he get a new one? Or is it a Lizard Tail situation where it eventually grows back?
And why is Crowley suddenly fine walking on hallowed ground?
"Cancel Miracle Check Card: Check it 8 times, get one miracle free!"
Hilarious how "Done With This Shit" Crowley is at Aziraphale's antics re: The Shopkeepers Meeting
