Absolutely.
I will rise like Phoenix from the ashes... (though not in the way, Shax intended me to.) chrchrchrm....
Despite everything...
Hello! Big fan here.
Just a teeny little question.
Since you're somewhat a snake, do you enjoy things snakes enjoy as a humanoid? Heat lamps, nice rocks to scratch itches on, etc.?
Love your work, especially the M25. Wahoo!

Well, hello there, big fan.
No, I really prefer the cold.... naaaah! I enjoy warmth both as a snake and as a humanoid. Would use a heat lamp if there was no sun around. And no more angel to put a blanket over me when I'm cold.
As for rocks, no, I can scratch my own itches while in human form. I have hands for that.
And, no, I absolutely do not eat mice. Not even as a snake.
I'm no longer in the business of hellish road construction, so if you happen to have any trouble with bad traffic or crazy madmen drivers, it's not on me. Anyhow, wahoo to you, too!
GO unites people of different ages, genders, cultures, countries... There aren't many things that have such a universal language. Terry and Neil wrote a masterpiece, Michael and David made it real. I will never be grateful enough. In the midst of the rubbish of life and the world, it's so nice to find common ground with other people, beyond all barriers. Because this is what GO teaches: there should be no sides, we should simply try to be at peace with ourselves and others. I don't think it's a trivial message, I think it's powerful.
Sleep
Yell at plants
Get some more drink - I'm down to the last bottle. Again.
Another note under the wipers. This one's from Maggie. She wants to meet up for coffee in Nina's coffee shop. Also it seems, this is not the first time she's wanting this.
No, no, no, no, no. No coffee for me.
I worry too much that I'm gonna ask for death.

Nope, no silly cards under my wipers. But apparently someone left me a Swiss chocolate Easter Bunny.
Two questions, people: 1. Which one of you was it? and 2. Is it poisoned?
Lucky for me, it doesn't even remotely look like Harry the Rabbit.

I usually sleep through Easter. It's not as bad as Christmas, but still too many people rambling on about 'the-lord-our-saviour' before being cheerfully and positively nasty to each other.
I can only hope, no one puts any Easter cards with "Harry, the rabbit" under my Bentley's wipers.

1. Lovely, clever human people inventing cars, and motorways... and audiobooks.Ā
2. Actually met Marie Corelli because downstairs was very interested in her soul. Needless to say, she thwarted me pretty much the same way her character Mavis did with Lucio/Satan. Also, needless to say, Satan in the book took the rejection much better than sulky old me. Never met Goethe though, his soul was always too sure a thing.
3. An angel I used to know got the book recommended by some Irish bloke we both used to know - Oscar - I believe. Wrote books, too, and they threw him in prison for no other reason than having a boyfriend... People, *shakes head* I will never get the hang of you.
Anyhow, said angel was head over heels for the book and went on for hours how the heroine is a clever, free-spirited, and creative author while Goethe's Gretchen is the typical two-dimensional saint-harlot that male authors used to write back in the days.
4. 'm a Demon! *snorts* I might have lied.
Exactly. I would give anything for this right now.
What is the key to enjoying life? (x)
Good. So, there's at least one universe that has a happily-ever-after in store for us. Congrats to you, other me!
I will read your entries, while I drive around in my Bentley missing my angel who has gone up to Heaven and whom I probably will never see again.
Wait... reading and driving at the same time might not be the best of ideas...
Iād like to announce that after many, many years of courtship, I have participated in the very human (and quite romantic) act of marriage.
It was even better than Jane Austen presented.

Hi Maggie, please tell Muriel to come over to the record shop, so that I need to say this only once: Stop trying to talk to me, the both of you. Stop sending me notes, stop trying to call me, just stop doing anything about me. I am not your friend and never will be.
There, you have it. Nice and short.
The only problem is, if I put it like that, Maggie will probably cry and Nina will give me her angry face again. And Muriel will look at me with those big brown eyes and think itās their fault. And perhaps cry, too.
Enough! No more crying. Iām sick of blowing my nose all the time. It gets all red and blotchy. Why do noses always have to run when you cry! Major design flaw if you ask me. But I forgot, you are not asking, @the-almighty-god. Youāre just playing your ineffable game. Next time, please play Dungeons & Dragons with us. At least that one has uhmā¦. dungeons and dragons and elves and Bags of Holding in it. I would quite like a Bag of Holding, then I couldāve kept all of my plants when Hell kicked me out of my flat.
Okay, next try: Hi Maggie and Muriel. I canāt be your friend because I donāt do friendships. Bye.
That oneās so short, I could actually write it on a card. Maybe I should, then I donāt have to talk to them. But Nina was very specific about this one. If you donāt want friends, you have to tell people to go away and you have to do it in person. Writing will not do, texting will not do, and simply going away until they forget about you will not do either. That one least of all.
Nina says, the truth is painful, but at least theyāll have a clean cut and they can start to heal. They canāt when I just leave them hanging. No closure.
Hi Maggie and Muriel. I donāt want to be your friend because Iām scared. Scared that Iāll get hurt when I open up to someone. Scared that youāll get hurt, when Heaven and Hell start doing their thing again and we all get caught in the crossfire.
No, by āthe truthā I didnāt mean āthat much truthā.
Just the clean cut. The one we never got to have. First, I walked out, then he walked away. We never sorted anything out. Did he leave because he chose Heaven over me? Did he leave because he chose Heaven for me? Did we break up? How can we break up if we arenāt even together? Are we still friends, or is everything over for good?
What does he want with Heaven? Does he truly believe, he can make a difference? Was it just an excuse to get away? Why did he kiss me back and then told me, he forgives me? Did he even listen to anything I said?
Why suddenly dance with me at the ball when he refused to dance with me back in 1941 when I asked him to? Why does he want me to be an angel again? Am I not okay for him the way I am? Does he even want to be āan usā, or did he at least want it before everything went down the drain? Does he still think about me as he is up there, doing God knows what?
Is he thinking of me right now? Perhaps this very moment?
I slam on the brakes and let the Bentley spin to the right, so the car behind me passes by without hitting me. The driver yells something rude, but Iām not listening to him. My mind is full of questions and I canāt answer a single one of them. Ā
No closure. No clean cut. Just pain.
I canāt heal because Iām left hanging. I canāt move on with my life because I donāt know whatās there to move on to and what there isn't. Is he still a part of this life or is he gone for good?
Iām on hold. Iām on hold like a human on a phone who doesnāt know if they should hang up or if they should wait for the conversation to continue. When Beelzebub came to talk to me about Gabriel, I understood immediately what was going on with them. Why can I not understand what is going on with us?
Again Ninaās words: āBut then, other peopleās love lives always seem so much more straightforward than our own.ā
I start the Bentleyās engine again, but before I can bring my foot down, I freeze.
āHello, traitor.ā
Ā No literal freezing. Just a jumpscare.
āI was going to pull you down to my new office, as it seems befitting for my new position. But youāre so miserable already, I didnāt want to drag you out of your safe space. Besides, Hell doesnāt need to know about our little talk, do they?ā

@aziraphalesdiaries @muriel-not-the-dim-one
Since a few people asked me to post the diary entries to AO3, I started to put them together and post them there:
I can't promise you, however, that everything is going to make sense in the end.
I'm basically a heartbroken demon living in a Bentley, who lost the love of his life (me, not the Bentley). I'm drunk half of the time, I'm asleep the other half, I'm driving around and ranting when I'm neither drunk nor asleep, and I just want to be left alone by all those people constantly wanting something of me.
Yup, that's my life in a nutshell.
(Luckily, the person behind my diary is neither an alcoholic nor a demon, just a regular human, but still very very heartbroken from watching a certain series called 'Good Omens' and especially something called 'The Final Fifteen'. (Whatever that is.)
But I do believe, somehow, that particular person wishes me to be reunited with my angel in the end.)
Good Omens fanstuff, mostly Crowley's PoV. Post Season 2. Mild content warnings for swearing, misuse of alcohol and angst.
