    Summary

    After Nope-mageddon, Aziraphale feels more confident and relaxed. He no longer feels like he needs to keep Crowley at arm's length for their own protection. He can finally tell Crowley that he cares about him more than "friendship" can describe.

    But he doesn't want there to be any chance for miscommunication. But directly talking about feelings in the past with the demon tended to be uncomfortable, so he would need to be a little subtler than that. Of course, human flirting wouldn't work. They already enjoyed traditional human dating activities together, but only as friends. Aziraphale needed something that Crowley couldn't possibly misunderstand.

    Well, perhaps he could research what counted as demonic methods of courting someone. That should be familiar enough for Crowley that he would understand Aziraphale's intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Adam Young was meant to be the Anti-Christ. His entire purpose was to cause the end of the world. In many ways, he was the Chosen One, albeit for a rather dark path. But he was raised completely human and normal, without any unusual expectations of him beyond being a regular boy. He remained unaware of his heritage or destiny until the very end. And though he was chosen, he did not accept his role and rejected it and his connection to Lucifer.

    Warlock Dowling was not chosen. He was born as an ordinary child, with no special skills or powers. He should have lived an average life. But he was raised with certain Expectations. Occult and ethereal entities Expected him to be the Anti-Christ. He was not chosen or fated for such a role, but reality tends to bend a little when angels and demons have Expectations.

    In the end, it is just a series of choices.

    Summary

    This is a finale rewrite.

    Let's take the very general beats and themes of that pile of steaming BS and turn it into something that — gasp — doesn't completely undo the lessons and values of the existing narrative.

    Written in bastardized screenplay format (ie. I made up the formatting on the spot because no one can tell me what to do), one chapter per episode, six episodes total.

    Summary

    After the not-Apocalypse, finding a new normal is an adventure. Crowley's got some ideas. So does Aziraphale. He's just not sure what to do about them.

    "How do you manage the whole temptation thing? I mean, the carnal ones. You do do those, don’t you?”

    “Manage?” Crowley swerves just in time to avoid an animal unidentifiable at their current speed.

    “I mean, do you just put the ideas in their heads and turn them loose on one another, or do you…?” A bit lost for words, Aziraphale makes a fluttering gesture that more or less indicates direct engagement.

    “What brings this on? Planning on taking up a sideline now that Heaven’s not up your arse all day?” Crowley accelerates meteorically, dodging around a slower motorist who seems to be gawking at the scenery, and Aziraphale is too aware of the flush induced by that choice of words to be terrified.

    “They manage most of that themselves, angel. You got one in mind you fancy, go for it. They just fall in headfirst.”

    Aziraphale’s fairly sure now that actual heat shimmers are gusting off his cheeks.
