Good Omens: Metamorphosis by afrai
Metamorphosis (Crowley | PG | 1,608 words) is the change from Crawly-the-snake to Crowley-the-human. There are a lot of missteps before Crowley gets it right. The images conjured by this story are... utterly bizarre and hilarious. And aww for the friendship between Aziraphale and Crowley.
Excerpt:
"It's my body," he said, with dignity.
"Why?" said Aziraphale. He sounded genuinely perplexed.
Crowley didn't have fur, but if he had he would have bristled.
"It's not that bad!"
"Crawly," said Aziraphale flatly, "I don't even know what you are."
He seemed to be expecting an explanation.
"Well, what do you think I am?" hedged Crowley.
"You look like a snake with legs," said Aziraphale, but he didn't sound awfully certain about it. He squinted. "Not very well-attached legs, either."
