I have entirely too much Good Omens trauma after the final fifteen to find another OTP in Buck/Eddie only to watch a different guy slide in between them, even if in a different manner.
This all goes both ways. Aziraphale hurts Crowley with his words just as much. He's just as traumatized by Heaven and Hell. Crowley still always comes back because he loves him.
Can you imagine saying to an ab*se victim "you need to learn to be an individual"? No?
Then why are you doing it to Aziraphale?
THEY HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO "BE AN INDIVIDUAL". THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT AB*SE IS.
Nicknames for Crowley and Aziraphale really aren't my thing, BUT...if in S3 we were to have a moment when an exhausted or nearly dead Crowley were to mumble Zira all breathy? I'd melt.
