"Stop saying Crowley won't help Aziraphale in S3 he'd go back to him in a HEARTBEAT and nothing would stop him" I get it no one likes the idea of Crowley being bitter after what happened for a long period of time but like can we at least acknowledge that he's currently going through probably the most emotional pain in his life since falling? Can we agree that he's opened his heart entirely - something you couldn't pay him to do unless the world is literally ending and he's desperate - to Aziraphale, and got shot down? Can we understand that he did it AGAIN only to lose Aziraphale again? Not that what Aziraphale did isn't without Crowley's own shortcomings (hiding the truth of Heaven's cruelty from him) but like,,,,
The appeal here isn't Scorned Crowley Doesn't Love Aziraphale Anymore, or Never Wants To Help Him Again, the appeal here is Crowley learning enough self respect to not just walk back right to Aziraphale like nothing happened after Aziraphale has had a pattern of consistently refusing him. Going years ping-ponging between "We're not friends I don't even know him" to "That's what friends are for right?" and "We're friends, why would you even say anything?" and "Friends? We're not friends. We are an angel and a demon!"
Like I get it, Crowley is a heartbreakingly forgiving person. Of course he's gonna forgive Aziraphale, I'll be surprised if he didn't forgive him by the time he walked out the bookshop door, but gdi he could at least grant himself the luxury of being at least a little irritated for longer than however long it takes to make a globe and some books float and angrily cry out to God in his flat. But due to the change of pace and dynamic that is establishing part of the conflict for Season 3, I just really like the idea of him for ONCE prioritizing himself and being like "Okay, fine. We'll get back at it when you're ready, then," instead of just taking Aziraphale back like his words and actions meant nothing to him, when clearly they have an effect on him.
What is Aziraphale going to learn if Crowley just accepts what he did so quickly, like he always has the entire time they've been friends? Idk maybe I'm just projecting too much darkness on their dynamic but I mean, if the pattern of Aziraphale pushing Crowley away/disrespecting him one day and then being fine with his friendship the next + Crowley never stopping to be like "Hey, that's not cool, at least give me a little credit" or smth was fine all along and will continue to be fine in the future, then why, after 6,000 years of being friends and loving this demon, can Aziraphale still not accept that Crowley is just fine the way he is, and instead got excited to promote him to an angel in a heartbeat once the opportunity presented itself? You can't blame all of it on Heaven when Aziraphale has demonstrated his free will/defiance to Heaven so many times. Or, I don't know, I guess maybe we can? Maybe I'm just craving too much angst to the point where I'm letting it cloud my analysis of canon. Idk.

Initially I was planning to write this in third person, but the ISAT demons took over and now I'm writing in second person from Siffrin's pov.
I'm having the time of my life over here actually I love writing this traumatized little shit.

prev snippet
___
She doesn’t remember the impact, the car hitting her – all she remembers is how much pain she was in after that, laying there in the street, unable to move. It was so scary, too. Shannon didn’t want to die. She was just getting her second chance at being a mom, at redeeming herself, trying to make up for it all, and suddenly she was faced with the prospect of being stripped away of it – what’s even worse, she could imagine how confusing and painful this would be for Christopher, getting his mom back just to lose her again. Honestly, that part, the thought of her kid hurting because of her, hurt much more than the fear of dying.
Fortunately, she’s still here, and she has no idea what crazy miracle happened, but she’s so grateful. Now she needs- she needs to see Christopher, promise him she’ll never ever leave him again, she never wants to be away from him again. She hopes Eddie will let her, despite the divorce bomb she dropped on him. It’s not even surprising to her how much of a mess they always end up in when they try to be together – which is why she sees divorce as the only option right now, it’ll be better for everyone.

Her gaze raises, likely to the window behind him.
“We can’t stay grounded forever. It’s not in our blood,” she hums. “I trust you to find what you need from all this life you’re surrounded by, all this that inhabits our big world. You’re nearly eighteen, baby, and you have your path… but your father and I- we have to continue ours.”
“But,” Jack breathes, “you’re- you… you’re an artist.”
She laughs, pulling him into her arms. Her hand draws over his head, and Jack squeezes her tightly, as if she could float away at any moment.
“I am,” she confirms. “Why do you think I have to go back out there?”
