I may have missed the time to say this but I thought someone should say this again:
Aziraphale didn't choose heaven over Crowley.
Crowley didn't choose to stay over Aziraphale.
Aziraphale left because he wanted to fix heaven, to make it what it claims to be.
Crowley confessed to Aziraphale because he wanted to stop fleeing from the feelings they'd both been running from for thousands of years.
The confession and the invitation to heaven are two seperate events that happen to have coincided. That's the tragedy of it all.
(imo) Crowley didn't confess because he wanted to convince Aziraphale to stay, he confessed because he wanted to put the truth out there.
He wanted a final chance to say "I love you", a true "I love you", in case there was never another time to say it.
If the Metadick had never given Aziraphale the role of Supreme Archangel, Crowley would still have confessed. Aziraphale would have always gone and Crowley would have always stayed with or without a confession. It would have always been heartwrenching but know they both have so many unanswered questions.
The final fifteen is a tragedy of timing because, after 6000 years, they had a chance to be together. But then again, did they ever really have that chance?
