I've been thinking about the immediate aftermath of the not-Apocalypse and having some thoughts [a mini-thread] 1/

When the deliveryman comes to pick up the box from Aziraphale and Crowley, it contains items representing each of the 3 Horsemen that were destroyed - Famine, Pollution, and War. Death wasn't destroyed, so nothing of theirs in here 2/

(Also that's technically Aziraphale's sword? And the fact that he gave it to the humans who used it to create War is a whole other meta that I am not going to go into rn lmao) 3/

Those things were all that were left of the Horsemen and the Armageddon't. All the things that signified the war between Heaven and Hell, sitting in a box between them to be taken away by a human. Nothing keeping Aziraphale and Crowley apart now. 4/

Plus we know for a fact that ALL these deliveries and pickups were pre-scheduled. 6,000 years in advance. 5/

All this to say that yes, everything that happened in those 6,000 years was absolutely planned all along, from the moment of creation. All of it planned so that you two idiots would end up sitting on this bench next to each other after successfully averting the Apocalypse. 6/

Bonus: look at this angel and how lovingly he looks at his demon - despite everything they're about to face tomorrow, he's so filled with joy and relief that even after everything, they're still together 7/7
