The little AU: Winter Woven Fine: Words and Music
slashfairyThe wonderful thing about having an iPod, a laptop, a smart-phone that plays music and sends texts, more frequent flyer miles than can ever be used in a lifetime and an open heart is it is a fact that music soothes the savage heart.

From time to time I'm thrown for an absolute loop by how a song moves me. Here are some that keep me going. If these go cold and enough people ask, I'll reupload. They're not particularly installment specific unless noted in that installment. Buy the albums. Support the artists.
