Good Omens/Heartwarming


 * Here's an unconventional one: A man (I think he's a janitor) takes a lunch break in a grey, artificial plaza with a sickly tree in it, thinking about deforestation. Suddenly the tree starts to grow, sending out roots and tendrils to the cracks in the paving, and the janitor climbs up on a branch and helps the tree break through the glass ceiling, laughing aloud as it begins to rain. My description does not do it justice.

 * I love the bit where he hangs up his gun and stops talking like a soldier. It makes me smile
 * "The tape he put on was Handel's Water Music and it stayed Handel's Water Music all the way home." The perfect finishing touch to everything that had come before.
 * At the end, Crowley and Aziraphale get their dinner at the Ritz... And meanwhile, a nightingale sings in Berkley Square.
 * This troper gets a warm feeling from how Crowley and Aziraphale deal with each other towards the end, e.g. how hands-on they are with each other - Crowley grabbing Aziraphale's arm and whispering to him, Aziraphale laying a hand on his shoulder, etc. Aziraphale expresses genuine sympathy for Crowley's ruined car, whereas Crowley sincerely commiserates on Aziraphale's lost books. Remember that it's an angel and a demon we're talking about here! Representatives of two opposing sides that hate each other so much that the mere tension between them keeps trying to bring about the end of the world.
