Good Omens Fic - Markings

So I've been mostly MIA because I've been hard at work finishing my second fandomtrumpshate fic and also spending way too much time on Discord. However, since I finished the aforementioned auction fic this weekend (which clocked in at a stunning 50,618 words for the first draft), I'm now getting caught up on posting some of the shorter fics I wrote to give myself a break while I was in the middle of that.

This particular fic was inspired by a discussion in the Ace Omens Discord server about whether Aziraphale had ethereal markings like the other angels. Personally, I liked the idea of him having one where no one else could see it, and of course, I really liked the idea of Crowley seeing it.

888 words, established relationship, fluff.

Later, Crowley will wonder how he went so long without finding out.

He's curled up in bed, dicking around on his phone, when Aziraphale comes in to get changed. It's only been a week or so since they've moved in together; Crowley still pinches himself sometimes when he wakes up to see Aziraphale sitting in their bed with a cup of coffee and his fussy little glasses perched on his nose while he reads.

Crowley looks up from his phone with the intention of saying something and his voice freezes in his throat.

He knows the Archangels, at least, have ethereal markings—glinting gold marks on their skin. He's always assumed Aziraphale didn't have any, being a Principality.

Now, looking at Aziraphale's bare back for what is apparently the first time in six thousand years, Crowley sees he was wrong. He was so very, very wrong.
