Heaven Attempts To Make Sense Of Things

Heaven attempts to make sense of Things

There would have to be a PowerPoint presentation at a mandatory all-staff meeting, right? And who doesn’t love a Venn diagram??? Welcome to Hell Corporate Heaven, kids.

[Title of Presentation: What the Heck Is Up With Aziraphale?

Presented by the Archangel Gabriel*

*Produced in consultation with Archangels Michael, Uriel, and Sandalphon, and presented in co-sponsorship with the Metatron, which — And May I Remind You — remains the Official Spokesperson of God the Almighty, and speaks on Her Behalf.

Venn diagram with four intersecting circles, labeled clockwise from top:

Faulty Nature (a Bad Angel)

Proximity to Adversary (Demon)

Weakness of The Flesh (Years Spent in a Body)

Earth Stuff (Humans)

Intersection of Faulty Nature and Proximity to Adversary = Sloth

Intersection of Proximity to Adversary and Weakness of The Flesh = Lust

Intersection of Weakness of The Flesh and Earth Stuff = Gluttony

Intersection of Earth Stuff and Faulty Nature = Pride

Pride + Sloth = Falsifying Reports

Pride + Gluttony = Fine Dining

Gluttony + Lust = Fornication??!

Sloth + Lust = Cuddling

Center of Diagram, place at which all circles intersect = Aziraphale has scary powerz we have yet to explain.]

Sometimes I think about the way Eliot (who up until now only hugged Hardison begrudgingly) just drags Hardison into this hug, the way he grips him, the way they rock back and forth to comfort each other, the way he turns his lips into Hardison's neck(!!!). We feel the passion of his overwhelming relief so clearly.

Then I think about how I got hit in all the feels by Hardison doing the SAME THING to Parker in The Rundown Job, with a nearly identical plea.

This is very deliberate parallel. The writing on this show is too good for it to be accidental!

They're *both* meant to be romantic! We even have the showrunner confirming no less than THREE TIMES that he created an intentional, canon OT3.

These hugs just... They're everything.

BONUS FROM THAT EPISODE:

Vance calling Parker Eliot's girlfriend, while facing Eliot, and the OT3 just rolling with it.

I am currently in the middle of a Valdemar reread right now. :D  I would love to see Herald AUs of Criminal Minds and Leverage. 

 Hey, if you are anything like me, and shit with Companion Animals like Dragonriders of Pern and Valdemar are your happy place… why have you not written a fluffy nonsense AU fic in which your favorite character gets a companion animal?

I ran a Sparklepony fic fest once that was real small but also so much fun for everyone involved. I wrote a fic where the Tenth Doctor’s companion is that one horse in “The Girl In the Fireplace”, and it’s amazing. I never wrote my Criminal Minds fic where the whole BAU were Heralds, but I still kind of want to, bc fuck that whole concept makes me so happy.

Just give Companions to everyone who could possibly be Chosen. Let your faves stand for Hatching in a universe where dragons and weyrs are common, or let your fave find a Pern-ish dragon egg in a world where they’re not. *Give into your inner 13-year-old girl*, and give your favorite character a sentient animal who loves them unconditionally. You will not regret it.

“Kit?” she said, saying his name in the Speech.  “Yeah,” he said, and turned toward Nita. “I guess we pass the test.“
