A problem like this is never really over, but Aziraphale pushing his beloved into water (blessed or not) is certainly triggering enough to wake him up!
the look on crowley's face... that hurted.

Oh I'm so glad he's letting Crowley help him finally π and the frightened look in Crowley's eyes there just says it all

Just beautiful! There is so much to love here! The change in the shadows in Aziraphaleβs face, how he catches himself on his paranoid rant, the hug!!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

"I'll smite you" - and then the realization - they layers of symbolism people are pointing out. Amazing. It is the way of things to realize something is wrong, but not know what to do, or realize you need help, but not know what that means. Life is a constant story.

I didn't notice till Az is jumping the side of the fountain but he looks thinner. Poor darling. Also Crowley and Aziraphale are slowly switching their black and white the further Az falls into his addiction. Your subtlety with your story telling is so beautiful.

Oh dear. My heart aches both with this angst and at the same time sheer relief. He has finally taken the first step forward with the one friend in the world he has heβs stuck with him thick and thin. I was almost scared to read ahead, but I have no regrets. Thank you so much for this update!

Thank someone! The real Aziraphale finally swam up through all that paranoia. I hope he'll be able to come out more and more from now on.

Finally Aziraphale realizes he needs help. The hug in the last drawing is wonderful. Crowley will be there for his angel, come what may. I just hope it won't be to tough for Aziraphale... I love the angst!

I adore the way they cling to each other in that last panel, but what I really really love is the difference in lighting on Aziraphale's face once he looks at Crowley and sees what he did to him.

Thereβs so much that I love about this!!! Obviously the last panel because I think it cleaned my soul, but also how the lighting on Aziraphale changes once he sees what he did to Crowley! Beautifully done!

My heart. These poor babies. Look at Crowleyβs face in the fountain and at Aziraphaleβs realisation. And he is grown SO THIN. Hopefully this was the last straw and he finally asked for help. Thank you for the hug, it was really needed at this point β€οΈ

Aww the looks on their faces! Aziraphale's defensive rage, Crowley's fear and sorrow. At least Aziraphale finally seems ready to receive help.

2020-07-26 11:56:37 +0000 UTC
oh my, it's heartbreaking, but I'm so happy Aziraphale is finally ready to receive help, open for it, admits he has a problem bigger than himself, it sure is a huge step π so important that your story conveys the idea of "you can't help a person who doesn't want to be saved, and you are not responsible for what other person does, for their choices" and that while checking on them, just waiting for them to realise, to come to you sometimes will be the only thing that works π’
hope they can step on the healing path from this moment, but oh how difficult it is and will be π
thank you again and again, Whiteley, for trusting us with this story β€οΈ
their hug and "I know" melted my heart π₯Ί

I had to look at this several times. What an emotional punch. Their faces...! The first time I read it I thought the body panel was Crowley getting OUT of the fountain, because Aziraphale is SO THIN. Heartbreaking. Then I had to stare at the last panel for much longer than strictly necessary. The full body hug. The little βI know.β Oh it was so beautiful!
