shivverTitle: "The Demon and the Maid"
Fandom(s): Good Omens
Characters: Crowley, Aziraphale
Pairing(s): None
Rating: G
Genre: General
Word Count: 3724
Summary: Working on temptation and corruption in the middle of a war, Crowley attempts to prevent some collateral damage.
Read it on AO3.
A while back (months ago, not long after the second season came out at the end of July), I read a story in which the author said they'd wanted to write a story in which Aziraphale saved Crowley, probably from a Tumblr prompt to do so, because Crowley always saves Aziraphale in the show. The story didn't accomplish this at all - if I remember correctly, Aziraphale saves Crowley from boredom, and does it in a rather out-of-character way (I think by offering to take him out and help him corrupt people). The story ends there - we never get to see them actually do anything. It was very unsatisfying.
But I thought that was a great idea to work off of. Crowley's always confident he can get himself out of any situation, but there's got to be a few times where things aren't going the way he wants and he can't figure out how to right it (or perhaps, he's entirely incapable of doing so). Aziraphale appears soft and unimaginative, but he is clever and he knows how to work within the system.
So here's Aziraphale saving Crowley.
