What if Crowley and Aziraphale both know piano but for entirely different reasons.

Crowley picked it up a few hundred years ago just as something to do when he couldn’t sleep. Never meant it to be anything serious. Mayyyyybe he wrote a couple pieces. But he dropped it after a decade or so.

Aziraphale, meanwhile, heard this beautiful sone one time in the dead of the night and for the life of him could not find the source. So he memorized the tune, and made it his mission to learn piano so he could hear it again, maybe even see if anyone can tell him what the song is.

Anyway, years pass and after the Apocawasnt, Crowley and Aziraphale have moved in together. One night, Crowley has a nightmare and wanders downstairs and sees a piano in the corner of Aziraphale’s shop. He thinks ‘eh, might as well’ and sits down to play. A few moments later, Aziraphale is running down the stairs and just. Stops dead when he sees Crowley playing.

“YOU KNOW THE SONG?!” He shouts.

“Angel, quiet, it’s the middle of the night. And yes I know the song, I wrote it. How do you know the song?”

Aziraphale explains how he heard it all those years ago, and sits down next to Crowley and plays a higher, maybe more cheerful version of the same tune Crowley was playing himself.
