Before we get started, I need to recognize and thank my team of mods, @winterbaby89 @jrob64 @stahlop and @ultraluckycatnd, without whom this event wouldn't have happened this summer! Please join me in giving them all the long distance internet group hugs!!!!
And NOWWWWWWWW... Here we GOOOOO!!!!! Under the cut, unless Tumblr ate it.
I’m thinking Crowley wouldn’t want to go back to the bookshop but he has a soft spot for innocent angels and Muriel is such a baby and she won’t know what to do…
I wrote a whole fanfic with that idea!
I understand you need a nanny.
OK, but Aziraphale pulls his miracle from above in Heaven and Crowley pulls his miracle from below from Hell and I’m feeling all kinds of things about that.
Summary: There are a few things that Crowley is learning about the bookshop now that Azira… well, now that a certain person who he can't name is no longer there.
Notes: Just a little five things snippet inspired by Good Omens 2. Spoilers!
1. Crowley drove as far away from the bookshop as he could and somehow his Bentley still brought him back to where he started.
He wasn’t sure how long he drove or how far he got, but he knew it was long enough that the bookshop had changed in his absence. At least that’s what he could tell from the outside looking in.
“Are you going to sit here all day again just staring across the street?”
He looked up at Nina staring at him.
“Maybe.”
first shot we get of crowley in s3 is set to queen's somebody to love and as it starts with "each morning i get up and die a little / can barely stand on my feet" we see him literally getting out of bed (been sleeping for months) and bump into countless bottles of wine scattered on the floor. he looks around looking for a half-full bottle and starts drinking again.
doorbell rings. multiple times.
he drags himself to the door and opens it as the song says "somebody to love". it stops abruptly and turns to complete silence as we see aziraphale at the door holding an infant (baby jesus 2.0) looking like he just ran a marathon.
OK, but here me out: Crowley doesn’t have a doorbell because he’s living in the guest room at the bookshop that was once occupied by Jim/Gabriel. And he’s only staying there to help Muriel with the bookshop because she’s a 37th class angel and needs some serious help understanding humans and he’s just doing it because he feels responsible for her. It’s definitely not because it helps him feel closer to Aziraphale or anything. Nothing like that. And no, the little twin bed does NOT accommodate his tall, lanky frame at all.

Ohmygosh, you guys. This is FAN art, not some Renaissance thing or whatever. Amazing.
my favourite thing rn is Crowley in pink 🥰💕💕
please help me, am I don’t this right?? Am I supped to post these kinda stuff on tumblr?! 😭 im so confused I feel like a dad
#What if this is my last straw
No, I haven't been scrolling through tumblr after being away for months just because I finished Good Omens 2 and need to see all the fan art and fanfic and fan speculation and those little gifs that make me happy.
Why do you ask?
(Ok I know some of you don't believe this theory but I highly suggest you give this a quick read anyway. I tried to make it short and easy and I'll be going chronologically, from s1 all through s2)
- First, let's get this out of the way, Lucifer and Satan aren't neccesarilly the same person. Even in the show the devil that appeared in s1 has only ever been reffered to as Satan, not even once as Lucifer.
- In the bible Lucifer was the one to tempt Eve with the apple, and who do we know that does that in the show. Crowley is literally THE snake from Eden.
- An obvious one perhaps, but the red hair is also a giveaway
- In the bible Jesus was tempted by the devil for 30 days, in the show Crowley says "I showed him all the kingdoms of the world", so that's another role Lucifer has that Crowley had in the show
- It's well known (even mentioned in the Sandman) that Lucifer was the most beautiful of all angels, and our demon is played by no other than David Tennant
Now on to season 2 because there's a LOT to unpack here
- He litterally started the engine of the universe which was one of Lucifers roles
- He's the first to say "let there be light", which is pretty fucking huge since that is Gods line
- "I worked closely with upstairs on it" even in the first scene they're telling us Crowley is an angel of very very high rank
- He fell for asking questions, which is litterally what Lucifer fell for, for questioning God. This in and of itself should be a pretty big indicator. "I only ever asked questions"
- Shax: "a miracle of enourmous power only the mightiest of archangels can perform"
Crowley: "How do you know I didn't do it"
And Shax just... doesn't counter that. She looks even skeptical, as if it COULD be a possibility, unlike Uriel who says to Aziraphale don't excpect us to believe you did it. Shax litterally doesn't shut the option down which confirms Crowley has the power not only of an archangel but of the mightiest kind
- In the bookshop with Gabriel/Jim he says "I don't remember. It [gravity] seemed like a good idea when we were all talking about it"
- "You're welcome to come in, you might even spot an archangel" don't tell me this was Crowley just egging Shax on and not being sneaky
- The fact that he could sense the demons coming. "Somethings wrong""It's coming in waves", when Aziraphale couldn't. It could be a demon thing but we saw Sandalphon, an archangel of lower rank, in the first season mention "something smells evil" so obviously angels can sense demons too, they just have to be powerful enough. And keep in mind Sandalphon was already in the book shop for quite some time, Crowley sensed them even before they had arrived (he also sensed the hell hound who was some fucking miles away)
- The.fucking.folder. "You have to be a throne or dominion above" and this dude opens these clasified documents like it's nothing. If this isn't an indicator of his high position as an angel I don't know what is.
- He's worked with Saraqael, another very high ranking angel
- "I'm the only first order archangel in the room"... and the camera imediately pans to Crowley, and for anyone who's read the book and watched the show you know that rarely anything is coincidental
- When the Metatron says they can't lose another prince of heaven. This... this fucking line. So it's relatively well known that Gabriel and Lucifer are brothers, and if Gabriel is one of the princes of heaven I wonder who the other one could be. "Two princes of heaven". And the Metatrons words were very careful, he doesn't say lost as in heaven can't find him, he says it in the context that they won't be sending Gabriel to hell since they won't lose another prince to downstairs
- In the bookshop when no one can identify the Metatron he turns to Crowley who imediately recognises him. Now you have this dude, who's literally on top of the angel hierarchy and is responsible for running heaven and the connection to God themself, surrounded by archangels and a principality you spoke to face to face with just a few years ago and... none of them can tell who you are, the only one who does is the literal demon. That tells us that Crowley has not only seen him in this form, but has probably worked with the Metaron himself personally. "Always asking damn fool questions", 10 million angels and he remembers what this one particular angel was like 6000 years ago
- Crowley is also very reluctant to reveal his identity as an angel. Now if he were just an ordinary angel of no real significance he wouldn't have a problem revealing his name, but... if his name was one that's the literal representation of all evil in this world, then it is understandable he keeps it a secret, in fear he might scare Aziraphale away
- And I wanted to leave the best for last. So you remember in the book when Crowley has to sign his name to start Armaggedon, and Hastur tells him "no, your real name" after which he reluctantly writes it. Now in the book we never see him write anything, but in the show we see him write a sygil, something that looks very mich like an L. An L... A FUCKING L. And now I wonder how this theory didn't come up sooner.
(Also he can fucking stop time, like dafuq)
Edit:
- "Oh looky here it's Lucifer and the guys" we all thought he was talking about someone else, he's just refferencing things other angels have said about HIM. FUCK
- I keep seing people saying Crowleys memories were wiped because he couldn't remember Saraqael and Furfur. But I think people forget, demons lie. He's lying to make them think he's not that angel they worked with, that he's not Lucifer. (In season 1 we hear him a few times refferencing his life as an angel, so he does remember most of it)
- Also saying if the Raphael theory were true then as showrunners they would have mentioned him somewhere for those not that familiar with the bible (or don't read much fanfiction). The refferences for Crowleys past are so so vague that it would be too sudden and confusing if he were Raphael. But there is one name that everyone is familiar with, no matter who you are how old you are or where you're from, a name that needs no introduction.
Edit 2:
- Back to him being the most beautiful angel, I don't think it was ever quite explained how every single demon when they're in hell looks... awful, but Crowley doesn't. Beelzebub has the spores all over their face, Hastur the maggots and the sh-, Dagon the scales etc. But Crowley doesn't, not even when he's in hell, he's always just so, well, pretty.
- I saw a few people asking about how Lucifer started the rebellion and Crowley wouldn't do that. I think it's the same Crowley who wouldn't get stuck in traffic after creating the M25, or the same Crowley that wanted to call Aziraphale after bringing down the entire London network, "you told them you invented the spanish inquisition, and started the second world war""so the humans beat me to it that's not my fault", "so all this is your demonic work?""no, the humans thought it up themselves nothing to do with me"
- Also I think Satan's in charge of hell not Crowley the same way the Metatron's in charge of heaven and not Gabriel (and who can very easily demote angels if he so wishes)
Summary: Emma was trying to settle back into normal life after her trip to Neverland so answering calls to the sheriff’s office feels good again. Except the call leads her to the local school and something she never expected. Rating: T Notes: For @cssns! I’m so excited to get this story out for Captain Swan Supernatural Summer. I’ve been thinking about Hook as a merman for awhile now and found this to be a fun one-shot to get out of my brain. Post-Neverland but pre-Pan curse. Just a normal night with a princess and a pirate. ;)
------------
The sky was dark and stormy as Emma drove through the streets of Storybrooke with her windshield wipers on high to clear the water away.
She had been back for a whole day from Neverland and was already fielding calls to handle another issue as a sheriff of this town. She didn’t really mind though. After being stuck on that stupid island for however long they were there, it was nice to be back and handling the normal calls that came into the office.
It also helped to distract her from what was going on with her son. Henry didn’t seem himself after the Jolly Roger returned to town, but she was still trying to figure out exactly what was going on there.
So a report to the sheriff’s office that someone broke into the town’s school? Totally normal and a good distraction.

It’s here! If you’ve been missing my Captain Swan fanfic Hide Your Love Away, I overhauled it and published it as an original novel that you can buy now!
Can an actress prove her love for a media consultant is more than an act? Actress Hannah Knight didn’t mind going to the country’s biggest comic convention to promote her television show. After all, that’s also where she met Nate, a man with no last name and an expensive suit that ended up on Hannah’s hotel room floor. But while Hannah was getting lucky, her co-star Trevor Lowe was getting drunk, and the video of him passed out on the street went viral. Fans are shocked and advertisers threaten to boycott the series. To fix this public relations nightmare, the TV network’s president comes up with a plan: the two co-stars will fake a relationship to help rehab Trevor’s image. Enter The Burnham Agency, a pair of brothers who have earned a reputation as the best crisis management team in Hollywood. But this time, Nate Burnham is fixing a problem he created after he slept with Hannah and her boyfriend got drunk when he found out about it. At least, that’s what Nate believes. Hannah swore she would tell no one – not even the Burnham brothers – that she’s faking her relationship with Trevor. But what happens when the man she really wants to be with is the man who was hired to sell her fake relationship to the public? Deep in the Heart is a romantic comedy that features a fake relationship covering up a secret relationship, a one-night stand at a nerdy convention, and more than one reference to undercover cops in white suits in Miami.

So if you’ve been following my writing journey, you may remember this story back when it was part of a Captain Swan writing challenge. But now, it’s new and changed and original and for pre-order!
A fake relationship with a twist!

Thanks! You too! And while I'm not really active here anymore, I have some cool things coming out this year. Especially now that I'm a USA Today Bestselling Author! Insane!
So I’m pulling down a few free stories so make sure you read them before they go away!
First is an original hockey romance novella just in time for hockey season!
Blake Gardner is happy to be playing hockey again despite the pandemic raging outside of the league's bubble. Sure, it feels weird to play without fans and be stuck in Toronto for months, but the New York Generals are still in the playoffs and that's all that matters. But when Blake meets hotel concierge Kat Shelby, he wonders just how far he can push the league's quarantine rules. Is it possible for him to play hockey in the bubble without losing his heart?
Second, a Captain Swan AU from a few years ago that I’m going to be turning into an original fic so keep an eye out for the new version in the future!
There are only a couple things Killian Jones knows about his neighbor, Emma Swan. She's a bail bonds person and she's attractive. Also, she apparently has a cat. And he apparently is now her cat sitter.
Hope you enjoy these! And make sure to follow me on Twitter at jennyredford for updates on what’s coming next -- and believe me, you want to see what’s coming next!
