hello, dropping a word to highly recommend The Name of the Star is Wormwood by Lus Beatha, probably the best Crowley was Raphael + secondmaggedon fic I've ever read with all the charming wit and humor and vivid characterization, plus biblical lore and also captured the tone of the Book. Definitely hard to put down, the flow is fantastic!
Thank you for the recommendation! The Name of the Star is Wormwood by LusBeatha
Before the Beginning, Raphael devised plants and fungi that would heal, stars that might or might not appeal to other angels, and some ungodly-looking reptiles.  One day the fly agaric mushrooms were gone, and the next time Crowley saw them, they’d been imbued with the knowledge of good and evil under a tree with a do-not-touch sign. Sometime later, Crowley attempts a temptation and instead finds a lot in common with their divine parent's half-human son.
In the present, houseplants conspire to make an angel and a demon confess their love for one another, angels and demons conspire to re-start the apocalypse, Michael still wants to know why their sibling isn’t answering their calls, Uriel kept a secret that got out of control, Dagon just loves a good scandal, and Anathema strives for a better plotline. In which Crowley confronts some old de- well, angels, Aziraphale comes to terms with some feelings about God, Warlock is quasi-accidentally adopted by his godfathers, and old prophecies come to fruition in a manner that no one could have anticipated.
