moonwise | the fic fst

Disclaimer: 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The Great and Unpublished Noname Fic (working title: Always Coming Home)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. ;)
