Aziraphale's smile is the sort of gently, serenely glowing smile he usually only wears when he's got a really good Very Secret Plan up his sleeve.
"Confession is for the contrite," he says, blithely, "and I have no regrets whatsoever. Besides, some human was going to have the idea eventually--I just happened to help along the inevitable with a vision or two, and let these humans' imaginations do the rest."
(He'd been rather surprised and not a little touched that, in her correspondence, Merope had been genuinely and deeply enthused about the project. Even if it won't have the same meaning to any mortal heart as it does to the two of them, it's nice to know that their version of this story resonates with humans too--and especially that there are other humans who, like Crowley, have been waiting for a chance to give Odile the story she deserves.)
