What if... in Season 3 Aziraphale finds out what it's like to be Crowley's friend.
But, just his friend.
Sure, he'll help Aziraphale save the world and it feels like it did at Armageddon't The First. Except, then he doesn't invite him back for a nightcap and somewhere to stay.
And then Aziraphale calls to tell him about something he needs help with, and yes he answers, but he doesn't come over. Instead, he gives him advice over the phone and hangs up.
Maybe Aziraphale invites him out to dinner or to a show, and he turns him down because "he's just not feeling being around people tonight" but he hopes the angel has fun.
And then they finally do decide to get together, and they have dinner and it's nice, but something feels off. Then Aziraphale orders dessert, and Crowley excuses himself and leaves, and Aziraphale finds out that tiramisu doesn't taste as good when Crowley isn't watching him eat it.
Because Crowley needs to set boundaries to keep his heart safe.
And Aziraphale discovers they were never just friends. And now he hates it.
Day 41 of posting Good Omens memes Everyday until Season 3
Neil Gaiman and Rob Wilkins at the British Library event The Worlds of Terry Pratchett: Neil Gaiman and Rob Wilkins 21.11.2023
Neil about Good Omens Season 3: I need to clarify something, because the word has gone out that it's been greenlit. And what has actually been greenlit at this point is me writing the scripts. I have been commissioned to write the scripts. We are still waiting on tenterhooky tenterhooks for... I've been told we are only a couple of virtual clicks away, but those clicks have not yet been clicked. So when they are, the world will know.
Have an angelic set !
(Still not over the fact that we got Detective!Aziraphale AND Magician!Aziraphale this season. Thanks for making real my 2 favourite AUs)
he frew up
Aziraphale’s phone rings. He answers, expecting it to be Crowley. But to his surprise, it’s a demon he’s never met.
“I’m Crowley’s replacement,” the demon says. “He’s not done anything impressive lately, and Downstairs doesn’t like how ineffective he is at keeping you in line. So now he’s shuffling paperwork and scooping up hellhound shit while I do his job for him.”
“Ah… I see,” Aziraphale says icily. “Well, I most assuredly do not look forward to working with you.”
The demon laughs. “Feeling’s mutual.”
Twenty-four hours later, the demon is very surprised to find himself discorporated in his sleep. He can’t explain what happened, he has absolutely no idea.
“Don’t let it happen again,” Beelzebub says, annoyed, and sends the demon back up.
After a mere three days, the demon ends up discorporated again.
A new replacement is sent up. This one lasts for a week and a day.
A third replacement is sent up. This one lasts for exactly four hours.
Three demons are sent up next time. Two manage to stay alive for at least five months. In that time, they botch four very important temptations, and the citizens of London inexplicably find their daily lives much improved in thousands of little ways. Traffic and pollution are nonexistent, injury and illness are miraculously avoided. Church attendance is up five hundred percent, and every politician and CEO is struck by the urge to donate as much money as possible to charity. There’s a general feeling of contentedness and goodwill in the air that wasn’t there before. It feels downright heavenly.
Suddenly, Beelzebub is having a very hard time finding anyone to take Crowley’s post. Bribes and threats make no difference. The rumors have spread and only grown more disturbing in the telling. Not one demon is willing to go up there and face the cold, calculated, merciless wrath of the angel known as Aziraphale.
Crowley absolutely loses it when someone gets around to telling him. “Y’know, I could’ve warned you,” he says gleefully. “Been working with him for thousands of years. I know exactly how much of a bastard he can be.”
After running the numbers and seeing how many souls they’ve lost to Heaven in the past year, Beelzebub gives up and concludes that trying to replace Crowley is a massive waste of resources Hell can’t afford.
After one year, Aziraphale receives another phone call. He answers, with bated breath, and nearly shouts for joy when he hears a familiar voice.
“Hi, angel. Lunch on me?”
the them and newt and ananthathama HAVE to come back in SO3 maybe Crowley was driving to tadfeid

"crowley is always doing little favors for aziraphale, when is aziraphale going to do something for him" oh dont worry, pouting and pleading looks and puppy dog eyes and an adoring smile afterward is definitely doing something for crowley. i can promise you that
I have been laughing uncontrollably for about 10 minutes now
