#raphael!crowley

My comfort place within Good Omens is a bit of planning I did for a fic I never published, in which the beginning of everything was just God and five archangels, who were siblings.

The oldest was Samael, who was loyal to a fault (in the beginning). Then came Michael, who was a very caring angel when first created. Gabriel was the middle child, and right away was a very stubborn angel—the archetype for the stubbornness yet to come. Raphael (Crowley) was the fourth angel ever made, and he was curious by nature, and in awe of the simple beauty that came with God creating things. The youngest was Uriel, who was naive and looked up to their siblings.

One thing I wrote, that I will always consider canon and nobody can stop me, is that Michael and Raphael watched the first sunset together, and Raphael was so enamored by the color of the sky that Michael turned Raphael’s hair that same color. A fiery red to match the wonders of the celestial bodies.

When Samael became Lucifer and Raphael became Crowley, and the war was won, Michael became colder, less willing to deviate from any set plans, and Uriel became reserved and fastidious, which contrasted the carefree way they behaved before the war.

You always show them like this....

but hear me out......

I know the theories that Crowley was Raphael. And I love them, they are AMAZING!

But, you know who fits him better?

Kokabiel, the Angel of Stars.

A FALLEN ANGEL.

Like listen, this fits him surprisingly well.

rolls up with my “what if lucifer was to crowley as crowley is to aziraphale” headcanon
