peter/susan fanmix with peter/susan drablets (narnia!)
so, guess what I did this weekend?
made a fanmix, haha!
Notes: graphics by me. the songs have been collected over the past several months from my f-list and my family and friends and some are old favorites that I've learned to apply to Narnia, and specifically Peter/Susan. special thanks go to bedlamsbard and lassiterfics , from whom I have gotten an inordinate proportion of my Narnia song recommendations.
1. a king and a queen - okkervil riverif you want to see and be seen then be seen
your dress is dark red and your opening eyes are bright green
make a scene
She shakes out the dress and holds it to her body and purses her lips critically. "This or the green?" she says, and he doesn't answer, just watches her a little sadly. She flushes and her eyes turn sharp and angry as she moves to her closet.
2. red - elbow
this can't go on too long
you're a tragedy starting to happen
He tells her she smokes too much, and she laughs and says she doesn't need him worrying about her.
3. stars - dubstar
is it asking too much to be given time
to know these songs and to sing them
Twice he convinces her to go to the seashore with him, counting the time he has lost and the time he has left as she wades in the water and her hair falls out of it's restraints to catch in his fingers.
4. streets of philadelphia - bruce springsteen
My clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin
"This is our world now, Peter," she says soothingly, and shuts the door gently behind her. He wishes she'd slammed it.
5. bitches in tokyo - stars
Cross off all the ways I failed you
Because I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood
"Oh, Peter," she says when she comes in and he's waiting up again. "You're just wasting your time." But she lets him make her tea as she cleans off her face and for once she doesn't talk of boys or movies, but asks him how he's been and how his studies are going.
6. only you - sinead o'connor
Forever true there's only me and only you
He can hear her clear voice from the next room as she laughs at some joke she's probably heard a hundred times before, and it's impossible to concentrate on noun declension.
7. somewhere only we know - keane
i walked across an empty land
i knew the pathways like the back of my hand
"It's just memories, Peter," she says, more tired than anything. "Memories aren't real." There are dark circles under her eyes and tears in the corners and she wipes at them futilely, just smudging her mascara.
8. i'm afraid there's a hole in my brain - playradioplay!
I dream a little bit about the chance of losing you
She doesn't come to him anymore when she has nightmares, but he can hear the sound of her muffled sobs sometimes.
9. clothes of sand - nick drake
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me
"So what are you suggesting? That we just forget it all?" Peter snaps, and she shrugs her shoulders and opens a compact. "You look prettier without that," he adds, and she blinks stubbornly and doesn't answer.
10. other side of the world - k. t. tunstall
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
He wakes up from his vigil on the couch in time to see her walking up the stairs in stockinged feet and tugs the blanket she left as proof of her passing closer. He almost goes after her, but for now he will be content with this passing in the dark.
