what if when aziraphale says “we can be angels again” he’s remembering crowley, the happiest he’s ever seen him, and thinking that he can give him that again.
what if when aziraphale begs crowley to come with him he’s remembering crowley’s Fall because all crowley did was ask questions about how temporary the earth was and why, and thinking that together they can change it, make it so all of crowley’s beautiful creations last longer and that he can fix the system that abandoned crowley so easily
what if when he says “nothing lasts forever” he means that he’ll give up the bookshop because he thinks he can make crowley happy and that matters more to him
what if when he says “i forgive you” he means i love you because to him forgiveness is the simplest form of love, and hasn’t he been saying it all along?
