Jeremy Brett’s Charm
Jeremy Brett always had this prince-like charm.
He looked like a perfect Disney Prince.
Especially in My Fair Lady, he both looked and acted like a Prince Charming in the movie.
To be honest, I can’t decide if I ship Sherlock and John romantically or platonically.
I’m not sure if want them to be in a romantic relationship because we need more LGBTGIA+ representation in media, and Sherlock and John’s pairing is a good idea.
A detective and his assistant, solving crimes, going on adventures and saving each other. Falling in love on the way.
But on the other hand, having them as platonic close friends shows a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities, and showing that two friends can care for each other without any romance.

We don’t know much about Crowley when he was angel. He didn’t mean to fall he just “sauntered vaguely downwards”. He hung around with the wrong people, “with Lucifer and the guys” and asked too many questions.
I’m gonna be focusing on him hanging around with the wrong people, specifically with Lucifer.
What if, when Crowley was an angel, he fell in love with Lucifer.
When I say “fell in love” I don’t mean actually falling in love with him, not the true love he felt for Aziraphale. Crowley might’ve had a teenager-like crush on Lucifer.
We don’t know how Lucifer canonically looks in the show, he might’ve been one of the most beautiful, handsome creatures ever.
Lucifer could’ve tricked Crowley to become a devil. Lucifer might’ve seduced him in a way. Lucifer could’ve said “You’re an Angel, I’m a Demon, this won’t work. But if you also become a demon we could be together.”
Crowley refused it at first. He wanted to be with Lucifer but he wasn’t ready to give up being an Angel.
It started off with small things. For example Lucifer could’ve made Crowley to believe the duties heaven gave him was boring and he could just lie about it. He might’ve told him he could lie all the time in hell, not having to do boring tasks.
But small things snowball into big things.
Overtime Crowley spending more time Lucifer and Lucifer messing with his mind, making him questioning everything about heaven causing him to fall, sorry I mean “sauntering vaguely downwards”.
We don’t know if Crowley hated becoming a demon but if he did have an adolescent crush on Lucifer, even though he didn’t mean to fall he might’ve been relieved to become a demon. He would’ve thought he had a chance with Lucifer. But when he went to Lucifer, Lucifer just told him “I just tricked you into becoming one of us, I never loved you.” breaking Crowley’s heart.
Kinda like a good girl falling in love with the bad boy but when she becomes a bad girl the bad boy leaves her. (In this scenario Crowley is the good girl and Lucifer is the bad boy.)
When he first met Aziraphale, he might’ve even thought about tricking him to become a demon like he once was. But when Aziraphale put his wing over him that made him change his mind.
Because when they first met it was time for the first rain. They didn’t know it if would rain holy water and the first rain was probably the holiest, it might’ve rained holy water. So Aziraphale covering Crowley with his wing, from Crowley’s POV would be Aziraphale protecting him.
He might’ve thought “This random Angel that I just met decided to protect me, I should leave him as an Angel.”
And/Or he might’ve become friends with Aziraphale to protect him from Lucifer. To make sure no more innocent angels like he once was fall because of getting tricked by a demon.
Credit to this beautiful animatic (that made me cry) for the idea:
Fun Fact: Aziraphale learned the dance Gavotte (this is mentioned in season one).
The final step of Gavotte is to kiss your partner. This explains why Aziraphale was upset when the Gavotte went out of fashion. I imagine he learnt it in the hopes that one day he might convince Crowley to dance it with him. But by the time he was brave enough to ask Crowley to come to the club, he couldn't because nobody danced it anymore.
Aziraphale had waited over a hundred years, waiting for the right opportunity, to ask Crowley to dance with him.
As a fan of fictional characters whom I fancy,
I shall be gifting this quote to…
…Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)
You can also gift this quote to your fictional crush!
Felt like writing. Actually writing it felt like the only fitting poetic fix.
While rewatching Good Omens season 1 & 2 I counted how many times Crowley calls Aziraphale by his name and the nicknames he has for him.
Here are the results:
Angel: 21
Aziraphale: 14
Best Friend: 4
Idiot: 4
Clever: 1
Bastard: 1
The fact that Crowley calls him “angel” more than “Aziraphale”, is so romantic, cute and sweet.
I know the Ineffable Fandom went crazy over Neil Gaiman saying “They like holding hands”. But we don’t know if we’ll get any physical affection from Aziraphale and Crowley. Because they’re both canonically asexual but still in love.
But to be honest, the only physical affection I want to see from them is a hug.
Bonus points if it’s a reunion hug.
I want Crowley to bend down to reach Aziraphale’s height, I want Crowley to hide his smile on his angel’s shoulder. I want them to whisper “I love you” to each other.
If it’s a reunion hug, hearing “I missed you” would also be very adorable!
Am I asking too much?
Denial
“No. Good Omens season 2 ended at episode 5.”
Anger
“WHY?! They were perfect together! It doesn’t make sense!”
Bargaining
“If only they had gone off to Alpha Centauri together. They would’ve been together forever.”
Depression
“(ugly sobbing) They were too perfect for everything, for all the other angels and demons, for this world and cruel heaven and hell. They were so perfect for each other, but now they are no longer together! (ugly sobbing continues)”

Jeremy Brett Being Charming (2)
Besides Jeremy Brett looking like a Charming Prince in My Fair Lady, he acted like a Prince Charming as well.
The way he looks at Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) is so adorable. He looks at her with such admiration and love.
He tips off his hat for her. Such a gentleman.
The way he stands by her side.
He brings her flowers.
He’s ready to wait for her, no matter how long it may take.
Everything about him is pure perfection.
Bad boys are overrated, we need more guys like Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Jeremy Brett).
The main reason Crowley didn’t want Gabriel around was because the last time he saw him, Gabriel had tried to kill Aziraphale. Crowley was trying to protect Aziraphale.
We love (protective) Crowley protecting his angel.
