<3 Such lovely imagery, especially in the beginning;
"Aziraphale hefts the sword's weight in his hand and watches the flames flicker, the air around them shivering as if it were painted on a stream of water."
and
" "Be right back," the Serpent says thoughtfully and slithers off into the foliage.
Aziraphale sighs and sits down, idly counting the blades of grass."
I’m very much in love with your Crowley who is playful (doing tricks as a snake, dumping bodies in the closet cheerfully) and who cheats and fixes stuff with a thought. (And I just realized he has no objects doing so whereas Aziraphale whines about it in the book, an interesting difference!) He does it for other people but rather on a whim, selfishly for people he likes (he is quite human in that way). And I adore how he takes a likening to the painter and connects to someone other than Aziraphale.
But this is completely lovely, the text flows beautifully and ending it with their canon goodbyes fits into the theme.
