Unpopular opinion, but book GO and show GO are allowed to be different. And I'm saying this as an aromantic. It's OK to have Crowley and Aziraphale be aromantic in the book but not in the show.
Does it hurt because our identities are "not interesting" enough for audiences? Yes. Yes, God, it hurts. But I can't be mad at the showrunners or Neil for that. It's a common fact that media is far too obsessed with sex and romance, and of course, they would want the show to go over well so we could get a second and third season. So when people as a collective change, representation for aro people will also change. But until then, I'm grateful for just the book.
And that's fine. Having the book and the TV show be different is what makes watching/reading them interesting. What's the point of making a show if it's a copy-paste version of the book? And it gives you a choice. If I want to read about two beings in a qpr, I'll read the book. If I want to see two beings romantically love each other, I'll watch the show.
Yes. I want more aro rep, yes we deserve more queer allo rep. And I'm hoping we get more of it. But right now I'm glad I have the option to enjoy both.

“their miracle was so big bc crowley used to be an archangel” have u considered that aziraphale and crowley love each other so much that their love alone could move the tides just by staring at the ocean for too long. have u considered that they did the miracle not really to protect gabriel but to protect what they had, what they’d built with each other. and that was them barely even trying

Neil Gaiman: "in season 2 the fan-favorite angel/demon couple will fall in love, overcome great adversity, and eventually defy heaven and hell to run off together to the stars :)"
Fans: "cool! I can't wait, does Aziraphale confess first or does Crowley?'
Neil, holding Gabriel and Beelzebub figures and making them kiss: "Does who do what now?"
