Fanmix: The Jean Grey School for Higher Feelings (All-New X-Men, Kitty/Jean)
Wow, I have not posted a proper fanmix in almost four years. /o\ I'm here to rectify that with a mix for a very uncommon ship that is mostly based on my own headcanon. OH WELL! I hope someone else might enjoy the music at the very least. :) (Or, even better, feel inspired to give All-New X-Men a read and come frolic in the teacher/student femslash with me.)
Please enjoy this album art I made with MS Paint (actually I'm pretty happy with it, lol):
The Jean Grey School for Higher Feelings: An All-New X-Men Kitty/Jean Fanmix
1. Counting Stars - OneRepublic - This is a Headmistress Kitty song, running the Jean Grey School like a BAMF. :3
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
2. Landsailor - Vienna Teng - Avengers vs. X-Men, two schools/teams both striving for mutant ideals.
Lightbringer
Tamer of night
Blossom of hours unleashed
Make me a lawbender
All equalized
Saved from the chill and heat
Your power flows through me transformed
Here’s where I was born
3. Falling - Haim - The start of Kitty & Jean's attraction.
Now we're going down
And I can feel the eyes are watching us so closely oh
I'm trying not to make a sound
'Cause I'll be found out somehow
So keep calling,
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm falling
4. Help I'm Alive - Metric - Teen!Jean in a nutshell.
If we're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still beating like a hammer
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
5. Hey Brother - Avicii - Kitty and her new O5 team, leading into Battle of the Atom.
Hey brother, do you still believe in one another
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
6. Bad Blood - Bastille - Battle of the Atom, Kitty's team joining with the New Xavier School.
If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways
But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And those little things define us forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie
And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
7. Hysteria - Muse - Kitty teaching Jean to control her powers, attraction ~intensifies~.
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And I want you now
I want you now
I'll feel my heart implode
8. Of the Night - Bastille - Kitty helping Jean through the knowledge of her future. And then they bang.
Won't you teach me how to love and learn
There'll be nothing left for me to yearn
Think of me and burn and let me hold your hand
I don't want to face the world in tears
Please think again, I'm on my knees
Sing that song to me
No reason to repent
This is the rhythm of the night
The rhythm of the night
This is the rhythm of my life
The rhythm of my life
9. Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Remix) - Metric - The Trial of Jean Grey, Jean's guilt and fear.
I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god
I fought the war but the war won
Monster hospital, can you please release me
You hold my hands down, I've been bad
You hold my arms down, I've been bad
10. Wires - Athlete - Kitty worrying about Jean.
Running down corridors through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
11. Last Hope - Paramore - Resolution of the trial, Jean embracing her power and Kitty's support.
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to
It's not that I don't feel the pain, it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore
And the blood in these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has
And that's the hope I have, the only thing I know that's keeping me alive
12. Never Look Away - Vienna Teng - The ultimate Kitty/Jean love song.
Let me uncover the silver in your dark hair
The weight of your bones
I want to witness the beauty of your repair
The shape you’ve grown
For you are made of nebulas and novas and night sky
You’re made of memories you bury or live by
So if you’re out there in the cold
I’ll cover you in moonlight
If you’re a stranger to your soul
I’ll bring you to your birthright
I want the storm inside you awoken now
I want your warm bright eyes
To never look away
Don’t you ever look away
13. Skulls - Bastille - A possible dark future; future!Kitty/Jean from Battle of the Atom.
I can't help but think of you
In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander
To some distant century
When everyone we know is six feet under
When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
And we're side by side, it's always been just you and me
For all to see
When our lives are over and all that remains
Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave
And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
I'll be buried here with you
14. Your Protector - Fleet Foxes - The threat of Jean's possible futures, Kitty protecting her no matter what.
She left a week to roam
Your protector's coming home
Keep your secrets with you, girl
Safe from the outside world
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming home
As you lay to die beside me, baby
On the morning that you came
Would you wait for me
15. Laughter Lines - Bastille - Ah, time travel angst. The possibility of Jean being sent back to the past. :'(
You took me to your favorite place on Earth
To see the tree they cut down ten years from your birth
Our fingers traced in circles round its history
We brushed our hands right back in time through centuries
As you held me down, you said
I'll see you in the future when we're older
And we are full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll see you with your laughter lines
16. First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes - ...BYE
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy
