Nocturne

https://archiveofourown.org/works/65796685

Most people would assume famed rock star AJ Crowley has it all: talent, fame, fortune, success, just the right amount of notoriety. So what's missing? A nocturne is a “night piece”, meaning that there is no specific form that is necessary, but rather the composer attempts to evoke the feeling or atmosphere of night-time in the work. It can be calm and serene, but usually includes a more agitated section, meant to evoke a possible night-time storm, or the passions which sometimes are more evident during night-time hours. Prequel to Toccata and Fugue but stands alone as a human AU oneshot.

Yes, I'm still working on Toccata and Fugue. Chapter five crawls along. I refuse to abandon this fic ever.

Every now and then I treat myself to a scorebook from Dover Publications, mostly because I love the cover artwork, and most recently I got this set of Bach organ music to read while listening along.

Toccata and Fugue: Chapter 3

Crowley's grin grows a little wider. "It's been...what, twenty-five years? "Closer to thirty," Aziraphale says neutrally. A silent air of as you know perfectly well no doubt underpins the words, he can't help that. Crowley looks down and snorts, another gesture that’s almost painfully recognizable. The aching nostalgia Aziraphale felt upon seeing the familiar/unfamiliar landmarks of his youth was nothing to this. "Don't say that, I'm in denial about how old I'm getting. You're the nice one, you're supposed to say Oh, but you haven't changed a day or some shite." Aziraphale rolls his eyes, pointedly not wondering if his mannerisms are still as familiar to Crowley as Crowley’s are to him. "Yes, well, I'm afraid I was raised to be meticulously truthful, and you've changed quite a bit. Not least in that you've discovered good tailoring, though I note you still don't seem to understand colour beyond monochromatics." Crowley throws his head back, laughing. Sparks of late-day sunlight catch in his hair. Aziraphale's heart beats another painful thump in his chest. "That's the bastard I remember."

My long-paused formerchildsinger!Aziraphale/rocker!Crowley human au has returned from the dead, and in fact has not been deceased all this while but transforming itself into a "being queer during the 80s under Thatcher was incredibly difficult" fic. Someone have mercy on me. I swear the next update won't take two years, chapter four is already done and I'm working on chapter five.

If you tell me you listen to "old music," I will immediately assume you listen to Bach and maybe Mozart until you specify otherwise

Every once in a while, I recall how Donna gets me via Henry and wonder if anyone else truly ever will. *sigh*

Henry's a perfectionist, I mean, really-really kind of inhuman -- very brilliant, very erratic and enigmatic. He's a stiff, cold person, Machiavellian, ascetic and he's made himself what he is by sheer strength of will. His aspiration is to be this Platonic creature of pure rationality and that's why he's attracted to the Classics, and particularly to the Greeks -- all those high, cold ideas of beauty and perfection. I think it's what in the end that gets him into trouble.- Donna Tartt, on the character, Henry Winter

(I do also worry about ever meeting someone like me though because... well, TSH is a cautionary tale of many facets for me, still it would be so thrilling yet relaxing to finally be understood so deeply and not feel like there was anything wrong to be masked/worked on. Oh, to not mask and be like this without someone being like, "yeah, that's not good, you should change". Alas, I keep hope for when I get into Classics and Philosophy spaces that I'll meet my people. Basically, I just am, yet again, seeking an INTJ friend but even more rigid in what areas of interest I'd like to have in common with them lol.)

(All this being said, I am always writing and exploring the full spectrum of humanity within and outside of myself to the best of my abilities, from varying perspectives in order to best form my philosophy and embody it. That means not being ruled by the shadow self because of repression but utilizing/integrating the beneficial parts--however difficult and precise this can become at times for me. This is where he and I differ, and my writing has helped me see that. This is also why I can get along with many but still don't have the bonds I seek due to deeply different values and thus, lifestyle choices than most, alas, even with many INTJ's.)
