Thank you for your creativity! It is marvelous!
I get that the bookshop fire was traumatic for Crowley because he thought he lost Aziraphale.
I keep seeing people say they want Aziraphale to know what it would feel like to lose Crowley, but I'm pretty sure my eyes weren't the only ones open when this happened...
Right?
"And that was the last I was to see of Crowley for some time."
Aziraphale has lost Crowley. To Hell.
He could do nothing to stop what happened in Edinburgh, and I can't imagine that he didn't fear he'd lost Crowley for good here.
Aziraphale has experienced more heartbreak than some fans care to even acknowledge. He exists in constant fear of losing Crowley to Hell again. AGAIN.
We saw Aziraphale save Crowley from Hell in 1941 with the human magic trick he used on Furfur.
Aziraphale was the one sitting in the bathtub of holy water after the Notpocalypse, knowing this was the reason he'd been so scared to hand Crowley his own thermos of holy water in the first place.
He's lost Crowley to Hell before and he will do anything to prevent it from happening again.
That's the impact Edinburgh had on Aziraphale. This is the impact that losing Crowley had on Aziraphale.
Okay I just gotta say, before I log off, I've been thinking about the fact that these "lost journal 3" pages exist in TBOB, and that Bill says they were ripped out by Ford. So we know that post-Weirdmageddon, Journal 3 was fully restored, including pages Ford ripped or burned out in the 80s (as well as any deterioration that happened since then), but the pages in TBOB still weren't in there.
What that means is that, post-Weirdmageddon, Ford must has ripped these pages out.
So I can imagine Dipper, super excited, running to Ford like "Grunkle Ford! Look! Your Journals! And they have so many new pages I've never seen before!" and then Ford going "haha that's so cool - WAIT," and then just grabbing the book and ripping out a bunch of pages, some with the embarrassing Polaroids, some with the darkest and scariest parts of his trauma, the way he fell for Bill and his lies, some of his personal memories with Fiddleford, etc. and then just handing it back to Dipper.
Dipper, pointing at the pages in the fireplace: uuuuh what were those
Ford:...... nothing.
It would explain why we, the readers, don't have access to those pages after he throws them in the Bottomless Pit at the end of J3.
At University Fidds was a diligent big brother. :)
Ford is 18-19 here and fidd is 23-24.
