Subject: Percy(/Oliver)
Title: Heaven Forbid Average (Whatever Average Means)
Warnings: Angst, Slash
Notes: I'm not really sure whether to call this a Percy fanmix or a Percy/Oliver fanmix. I'll say a Percy fanmix with a focus on his relationship with Oliver.

Alanis Morissette - PerfectDon't forget to win first place/Don't forget to keep that smile on your face/Be a good boy/Try a little harder/You've got to measure up/And make me prouder
Percy feels as if the the world expects to much of him.
Matchbox 20 - Could I Be YouWell now, youre laughing out loud/At just the thought of being alive/And I was wondering/Could I just be you tonight
Percy wishes he could be as carefree as Oliver.
Heather Nova - London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do): I'm coming, i'm coming home to you/I'm alive, i'm a mess/I can't wait to get home to you/To get warm and undressed/There've been changes beyond my dreams/Everybody wants me to sing/There've been changes beyond my grasp/Things i'm sinking in
Percy and Oliver are both getting caught up in their careers, but they're happiest when they're around each other.
Brandi Carlile - Fall Apart AgainSelf respect, goes unexpressed/I don't dream because I cannot sleep/And I think the world of myself/But the world doesn't think much of me/As long as the day is full of time, there will always be room/for your hand in mine
Percy has left his family, his job is becoming overwhelming, and his world is starting to fall apart. The only thing that makes him really happy is Oliver.
The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes OutTake me out tonight/Where there's music and there's people/And they're young and alive/Driving in your car/I never never want to go home/Because I haven't got one/Anymore
Percy wants to go out with Oliver and get his mind off his problems.
Alanis Morissette - OneI've been out of reach and separatist/heaven forbid average (whatever average means)/I have compensated for my days/of powerlessness
Percy feels the need to be the best. His relationship with Oliver is strained.
Coldplay - Warning SignA warning sign,/You came back to haunt me and I realized,/That you were an island and I passed you by,/You were an island to discover.
Oliver leaves. Percy realizes what he's missing.
Deb Talan - UnravelingA river of tangled string/you are unraveling/and no one else seems to mind./You keep it to yourself, stay numb and act fine.
Percy has to stay numb to get by.
Good Charlotte - MountainYears go by and nothing's slowing down the time/Years go by and then they're wasted/All this time/I thought that I gained everything/If you're not mine, I'm so empty
Percy has been working hard to make his life perfect, but the things he's lost make it not worth it.
Matchbox 20 - You Won't Be MineOver the lies, you'll be strong/You'll be rich in love and you will carry on/But no - oh no/No you wont be mine
Oliver's POV this time. He's bitter and telling himself that no matter how happy Percy thinks he is, he will never be really happy without Oliver.
Coldplay - The ScientistNobody said it was easy/It's such a shame for us to part/Nobody said it was easy/No one ever said it would be this hard/Oh take me back to the start
Percy wishes he could go back to simpler times.
Bowling For Soup - When We DieThere's nothing worth losing/Especially the chance to make it right/And I know that we're gonna be fine/And the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time/As long as we live and time passes by/And we won't get it back when we die
Percy returns home and tries to make things right.
