The Rule Went Down To Georgia... (OC)
We recently had this conversation and I realized I have new headcannon.
Maybe the Devil is a bit of a hobbyist who enjoys a good jam now and then. Sure, he'll claim a soul if his opponent isn't worthy, but mostly...

I always loved the idea that the path of a musician is inherently full of sin, especially one that has the pride and hubris necessary to challenge the devil. You lose? Your soul is taken. You win? Your soul is offered by your own, thoroughly voluntary, attrition.
There's a simpler explanation for this: only the really good ones live to tell the tale.
Feels like the devil and his fiddle come up a lot around here. We might be coming to a crossroads...
