Corpse Grinder: The Silly

God: “Okey dokey, done.”

Crowley: “Miracle time, angel, let’s fucking go.”

Aziraphale: “Miracle?”

Crowley: “Together. No holding back.”

A: (catching on) “Oh, yes! We can channel remarkable power together!”

(They hold hands)

God: (suddenly regretting this) “Wait what”

A: “Thank you both for your services, but they’re no longer required. Cheerio.”

C: (huge toothy grin) “Wasn’t nice knowing you. At all.”

(They move their free hands, just as God and Satan are both lunging toward them; screen flashes white, holds there)

And instead of the human AU, we use that time to have Crowley and Aziraphale strolling through that blankness together, discussing the parameters of rekindled existence without Heaven and Hell. They decide to allow their fellow angels and demons to be resurrected as shepherds, guiding human souls to redemption after death.

Closing scene is cozy domesticity in the bookshop, maybe a brief consult with Dagon and Uriel about a specific human soul, A and C give them sage advice to guide the soul toward an epiphany of empathy and compassion. They look out the window together at a restored Whickber Street, arms around each other’s waists, A rests his head on C’s shoulder, long pan back, ROLL CREDITS

Brian Cox: Real-life professor of particle physics. But, well, also... Brian Cox: actor who voiced Death in S1.

"Did you see we've got a couple of Brian Cox's?" asks a character meta-named after the actor playing him, while talking about books, which are people. On a meta-level... Do you know you two are dead, and that none of what just happened actually happened? After all, why do you think it's me, and not this version of Aziraphale, who owns this bookshop?

The fact that they chose humanity matters SO much to me! Their love for humanity is just as true to them as themselves.

MICHAEL. just michael. everything about them from start to finish

crowley being willing to give up the bentley to protect aziraphale's bookshop and then still not living in it

muriel and their character development

THE COSTUMES AND OUTFITS

the way michael killed sandalphon and uriel, i love how they're burned into the wall with their wings out

the metatron showing up for like 10 seconds just to be immediately murdered. queenshit. amazing. you can never make me hate michael

crowley and his lil plant he carries around at the beginning

aziraphale and muriel cosplaying as demons (surprisingly well!)

saraqael knowing exactly what's going on but also really not giving a fuck

jesus getting adopted by a random guy he meets and spreading happiness with pizza

michael slowly ripping apart the book of life after realizing the entire universe is working as intended and needs to be burned down

also michael not giving a single shit about what aziraphale was saying. he tried and failed.

crowley's hair. his anger. getting drunk and staying drunk. not forgiving aziraphale the second he is back. refusing to play their 6k years long game. being honest and blunt. not backing down. finding joy in the small things.
