For marginaliana's Submerged, a James May/Richard Hammond story for rpf_big_bang.
[ trailer | fanmix ]
notes: There are quotes from the story under the cut, so potential spoilers abound! My laptop crashed before I could finish the fanmix (external HDs are lifesavers!) so this is what you might call a careful reconstruction on someone else's computer :) Most of the files are in .mp3 format, though some are .m4a. Individual tracks are up at box.net, with the entire mix as a zip file at Megaupload.
a minor incident
a "submerged" mix
Richard looks up, and James can't help but note the redness of his eyes and the almost stretched look of his skin over his cheekbones. Woah, he thinks.
Beulah - My Horoscope Says It's Gonna Be A Bad Year
but mostly i feel like a little boy
i'd rather feel pain than show fear
i don't wanna make excuses
but my horoscope said it would be a bad year
"This isn't - I didn't do this to myself, all right? You've got to believe me."
Violent Femmes - Crazy
ha ha ha, bless your soul
you really think you're in control?
We'll figure out how to fix him, I know we will. James shakes his head, then after a moment he pushes himself up and goes to brush his teeth. We just have to get through this first.
Imogen Heap - Clear The Area
but your eyes tell a whole other story (and I feel the weight of the world)
Being in the sub is a strange experience, even though they've taken several practice dives both with the experts and on their own. It's hard not to feel a little trapped once they're inside, the thick, round metal of the hatch hanging open over their heads to expose just the tiniest bit of sky.
Explosions in the Sky - Six Days At The Bottom of the Ocean
[instrumental]
Richard doesn't even believe in God, James knows; he's just desperate to make sense of what's happening and willing to clutch at any possibility he can work his mind around.
Polytechnic - Man Overboard
when you give up on love and happiness
do you deny that these things really exist?
"It's not mine to tell," he says lamely, and Jeremy's face goes stony. "Honestly, Jez, it's Hammond's-" he says, but Jeremy sets his glass back down on the table with a click.
Tom McRae - For The Restless
and i keep my secrets well
move on and never tell
some day they'll show
"James," she says, "Oh, James, I love you," and her beautiful brown eyes are wide, and James can't understand why she's here with him like this when he doesn't even know who she is.
Sara Schiralli - Bang Bang
and in this moment i'm weak
and in this moment i cannot quite find my feet
James dislikes this kind of casual intimacy even on a good day, and today he finds it nearly unbearable as each brush of Richard's skin makes his hair stand on end. It's too intense, and every time he looks up Jeremy's eyes are on them. Oh, god, what does he know? James thinks. Worse, what does he think he knows?
Patrick Stump - Love Lockdown
see i want to move but can't escape from you
The worst thing is that as he stares at the back of the seat in front of him, James realises this has been coming a long time.
ABBA - Waterloo
my my, at waterloo napoleon did surrender
oh yeah, and i have met my destiny in quite a similar way
the history book on the shelf
is always repeating itself
"No, Rich," he says. "I'm sorry, but no. You can't ask me for that."
Moura Lympany - Piano Sonata # 14 in C Sharp Minor, Op. 27/2, “Moonlight” - Adagio Sostuneto (Beethoven)
[instrumental]
Richard looks exhausted and there are deep hollows under his eyes, but he's grinning, almost laughing in that familiar way that exposes his perfectly straight teeth. His hair stands up wildly and his cheeks are flushed, and in a split second, James realises just exactly what's changed.
Badly Drawn Boy - A Minor Incident
i'd be a better person on the other side i'm sure
you'd find a way to help yourself
and find another door
"Jezza," says James, a bit desperately. "This isn't what it looks like." Then he looks down at Richard's mussed hair and kiss-swollen lips. "Okay, it is a bit. But I swear I wasn't lying-"
Blue October - Calling You (Live)
(its not so difficult,
the world is not so difficult)
But then he looks up and sees Richard's face - his wide eyes and the way he's biting down on his bottom lip - and he knows he wants this.
Better Than Ezra - Breathless
so glad to see you smiling
so good to hear your laugh
i think that you've found you even
missed yourself
