"lean, mean, and unusually bendy"
>> hahahaaaa XD

"snakeskin at the feet, just like there ought to be"
>> can't ACCEPT anything else!

"He winced just a little as he remembered that his legs didn’t quite do all the things Crowley’s did"
>> that's because you didn't check the "lean, mean, and unusually bendy" box on your body-form, Aziraphale

"Well, if he’d have to have spent some time in Crowley’s form instead of his own, at least it was the one that had legs."
>> HAHAHA! XD

"Aziraphale couldn’t imagine his own spine quite being up to all that wriggling"
>> aaaaw XD <3

"Aziraphale’s eyes almost made a sound when they narrowed."
>> AHAHAAAAA!!

"It’s . . . ah, warm. Warmer than mine. I just mean . . . it’s comfortable"
>> aaaaaaw, Crowley! <3

"You want me to listen to Michael’s incredibly tacky Deep Thoughts on interior design for another seventeen hours sometime? I felt years peeling off my immortality, angel. Centuries."
>> AHAHA, this is brilliant!! XD
"And I had to convincingly pretend to be you, which means I had to sit there clashing with his sofa"
>> ADHKSJGLJRDLHJLTRKH X'DD
"and sipping weak tea with my pinky finger sticking out, and I had to leave crumbs behind"
>> oh NO!!
"and . . . well to be honest I came away rather impressed with just how passive-aggressive you really are. I thought you learned it from, your people, and now I think maybe you were the one to teach Heaven how it’s done!"
>> HAHAHA! For sure!! XD

"“I’m sure there’s a compliment buried in there somewhere,” Aziraphale sniffed.
“See? There you go. You just did it again. Masterful!”"
>> I'M DYING X'DDD

"so one of these days it would behoove you to not shut me up about that"
>> omg, you did that on PURPOSE, Aziraphale, so Crowley would have to listen to you!

"Crowley decided he was still much too sober for this"
>> same :'D

"“You’ve only been back in your corpse, I mean corpus, I mean…”
“Corpulent?”
“Watch it!”"
>> AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA XDDD

"“Six thousand years of excuses to look at my backside. You’re like a dog chasing the postman, someday you’re going to catch it and you won’t know what to do with it.”
“Can’t chase you if aren’t running, now can I?”
“Running wouldn’t be sporting. How about a leisurely slither?”"
>> I can't with ANY part of this exchange, oh my Gods X'DDD

"“Thought you’d never ask,” he managed to stammer.
“Oh, don’t make a big production out of it,” Aziraphale snapped"
>> you two are HORRIBLE!

"it was...well, it was camaraderie at worst, no matter how bad he tried to spin it"
>> uh-huuuuh
"And the more he spun it, the faster and blurrier it got"
>> :333 also, excellent word-play right there!

"“Thank you dear, you’re so kind,” he said, knowing that was probably actually an unkind thing to say, considering."
>> ooooh, haha, true! :D

I love how the next paragraph begins with a lecture, it's so canon! :D

"As we know, fossil records are tricks played by particularly crafty minions of the Fallen One, who are in good enough graces to avoid all the really sweaty screamwork and get to spend most of their time playing dinosaurs."
>> I WANT TO PLAY DINOSAURS!!

"only one angel in the history of creation has ever said anything of the sort to a demon"
>> aaaaaaaaw :3

"as opposed to the humanoid-with-no-wings form or the WHAT-THE-FUCK-IS-THAT-oid form that can have infinite wings and eyes and heads or at least things that look like heads, wheels of fire optional"
>> HAAAHAAAHAAAAAAA!!! BRILLIANT!!

"Though probably understating it a little, give or take a few feet here and there based on a given angel’s height, muscle mass, or addiction to pastry."
>> X'DDDDDDD

I LOVE huge wings!! Huuuuuuuge wings!! Perfect! :3

"The bat-wing image is artistic license based primarily on one artist early in the Byzantine era having got a glimpse of one with a very unfortunate case of mange"
>> oh no :'D I hope the poor demon got treated for it!

"every angel, Fallen or not, has their own distinct colour pattern, individual as a fingerprint."
>> YES!! PERFECT!!

"he’d have been ashamed to admit if he couldn’t hide his own laziness beneath disdain of the sin of vanity"
>> HAHAHAAA! XD

"Crowley was done sneezing from the dust - and shedding a few feathers that should have been combed out years ago."
>> X'D well, that's one way of getting rid of them


"“They don’t go with anything I’d wear,” Crowley. “And they’re a mess!”"
>> |D two very valid points

"They were awfully sleek, and probably slimmer than they ought to be, like Crowley's mobile phone or his trousers. They suited Crowley - beautifully, he had to admit"
>> what, the wings or the tight trousers? ;D

"“Don’t you ever groom them? They itch!”
“Well….er . . . um . . ."
>>

"under brittle newspapers from the 1950s. Amazing, he thought ruefully. Adam really did restore everything."
>> HAHAHA! X'D

"Aziraphale blushed, and to his misfortune, Crowley noticed, and snickered. “Whatever you think this is for, you’re dirtier-minded than the inventor."
>> My GODS, Aziraphale!

"I have a . . . scratching post. Like for cats. I put a brush on it. And some pomade, to shine them up."
>> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, oh my Gods, this is SO CUTE and funny!! XDD

"Something sweet and hopeful poked out like an unrealistically cute garden creature"
>> :3

"Bit forward there, don’t you think?"
>> nope >:D

"You’re really extremely manipulative, did I ever tell you that?"
>> hahahaaa, that's how we love him XD

"“Crowley, you slept on my floor for thirty years once. If I wanted to do you harm, I’d have done it.”
“Point taken."
>> Aaaaaaw, hahaha XD

"More like exactly the kind of sound a large snake would make if snakes could purr"
>> adghskfhgkjdshgkfdhgk X33

"They weren’t exactly sexual thoughts, he told himself, because he was an angel and angels didn’t have those - but if an angel did, these probably were exactly like the kind of sexual thoughts an angel would have."
>> HAHAHA! oh, COME ON, Aziraphale! XD We all KNOW!

"Aziraphale was also certain that some demons did, but Crowley had never really seemed like that type of sin was his specialty"
>> YES, thank you, I don't like Crowley getting physical with anyone but Zira <3

"“What was that?” Aziraphale asked.
“It certainly wasn’t pain, that’s for sure,” Crowley said.
“Oh dear.”"
>> OH DEAR, HAHAHA XDDD

Oh, I LOVE wing-grooming, especially first time wing-grooming that feels FAR TOO GOOD! You hit one of my weak spots right there, Secret Author! <3

"if it doesn’t make you squawk like a chicken because it’s inappropriate"
>> hahaha! XD

"The colours didn’t clash with basic black, or matte black, or satin black, or even Vantablack"
>> Vantablack, omfg!! XDD

"and he thought if he stared at them cross-eyed long enough in the mirror, those red-and-copper lines started to look a little less Midcentury Modern and something slightly closer to tartan"
>> OH MY GODS!!

"They tended to run scruffy, because that made Crowley feel agitated, and then Crowley would calm himself by grooming Aziraphale and Aziraphale rather liked that"
>> Aaaaaw, that manipulative bitch X'DD <3

"If someone’s going to have your back, they ought to know what you’ve been hiding behind it. And he did, the old serpent."
>> :'33

"it had something to do with a circle on the floor and a shaft of blue light from Heaven crossed by a blue police box floating in space at the exact same moment Crowley’s superiors had tried to commandeer Freddie Mercury’s voice at the exact same moment the actual Freddie Mercury had got his wings, so to speak, as a powerful public egregore once again"
>> oh my Gods, hahaha XD

"having a bit of each other intermingled wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to happen to them"
>> my heart X'333

I can only repeat how absolutely LOVELY and FUNNY this story is! Your writing style is gorgeous, your humour is so fantastic, and the fic is so fluffy and cute, yet also witty! I love the idea of not being able to change their wings back and then just KEEPING THEM and even loving it later, because they love EACH OTHER so much! :'3 That's such a creative and absolutely beautiful way of letting them show their feelings for each other, so intimate and cute and touching, because their wings are such an essential part of them, since they're all individually patterned and styled and all, and now they carry such an important and personal part of each other with them - not only carrying it, but actually having it as such an important part of THEMSELVES now, it's like enchanging your FACE or something, adkjshkjfkdghdhh, omg, I could go on FOREVER about how much I love this!!

THANK you, Secret Author, thank you SO MUCH!! After the Great Reveal, I would love to draw fanart of this, if you allow!
