the fic fst
Apr. 19th, 2005 04:12 pmDisclaimer: Is it an act of wanton hubris that I'll post MP3s of songs I listened to whilst writing different fics? Yes. However, if you find a song you like, maybe you'll forgive me.
And maybe you'll do the same, and we can all listen to something new!
In the process of writing a fic, I usually find that one song or another becomes a theme for the fic I'm writing, up to the point of becoming the title for the fic. The song becomes so closely associated with the work that every time I hear it, I can't help but remember that time when I was writing it.
So, I'm sharing them all with you, grouped by fandom.
Soul Reaver
Little Brother
Little Sister - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Little sister, now you're gone
let's just say it's a mercy kill
but little sister, you've left me
howling at the moon
Broken Wings
The Host of Seraphim - Dead Can Dance
Fall From Grace - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Yet nothing is forever
So come nearer and confess
But like a tender bruise
Temptation waits in one caress
Final Fantasy VIII
Reaching Out
Reaching Out - Kate Bush
See how the heart reaches out instinctively
For no reason but to touch.
Reaching out for the Star.
Reaching out for the Star that explodes.
Reaching out for Mama.
Storm Front
Gypsy - Suzanne Vega
You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design
Trigun
Night Vision
Night Vision - Suzanne Vega
Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist uncurl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith
I would shelter you and keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision
A Whisper in Darkness
Sleep - Conjure One
I know it's late
I shouldn't call at this hour
But yet, my fate
I need lips to devour
My nervous system is shadow-bright
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Cold Comfort
Time - Tom Waits
The Great and Unpublished Noname Fic (working title: Always Coming Home)
Evangeline - Cocteau Twins
Sorrow for letting someone else define you
Know who you are at every age
What impression am I making?
I see me as other people see me
There is no turning back
I can't stop feeling now
I am not the same, I'm growing up again
Samurai Champloo
Wait in Vain (not published yet, but I'm working on it! Really!)
Stay Now - Jem
Daylight comes, daylight comes and you've gotta go
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart to have to watch you go
Wish I knew, wish I knew when you'd be back again
However long, it's just too long until we meet again
And for a totally unwritten Mugen/Yatsuha fic - BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO THEM.
Laid - James
This bed is on fire with passion and love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
Hope you all enjoyed. Grab what you want, if you want any of 'em. ;)
And maybe you'll do the same, and we can all listen to something new!
