They’re not divorced they’re just stupid

one of the many little clues and hints that Aziraphale was working himself up to shooting his shot with Crowley this season. the touching, the flirting, "our car", planning the ball, leading crowley by the hand to dance, admitting that crowley loves rescuing him. too bad Aziraphale's marriage proposal was so laden with unintended insults and built on a foundation of misunderstanding for crowley to accept it. too bad crowley couldn't see through Aziraphale's words to the heart of his desire to protect and save crowley from the danger of his circumstances so that they can love one another freely and be safe. oh well

i haven’t seen anyone talk about this yet, but something that really struck me during the kiss scene was just how human it was. i’ve posted meta before about crowley’s mental spiral in the moments leading up to it (which you can read here), but i didn’t really address how those emotions influenced the kiss itself. kissing is a distinctly human gesture—what use would angels or demons have for it in their respective dominions? we don’t even see it between gabriel and beelzebub, who seem to be on the same page as far as the romantic nature of their relationship is concerned. crowley kisses aziraphale because he wants to, but also because it symbolizes their shared love for humanity, which has shaped the bulk of their experience together. he kisses aziraphale because he’s desperate for him to acknowledge the unfathomable value of the bond that they’ve formed, and not just to acknowledge it but to choose it. the kiss isn’t exclusively a declaration of love, it’s a reminder of all that they have to lose, including their own precious humanity. they wouldn’t be where they are without each other and they wouldn’t be where they are without life on earth. so crowley shows aziraphale affection the human way, for perhaps the first time, as an ultimate act of devotion, and as a last-ditch effort at changing his mind. he’s appealing to the strongest part of him that ties them together
