[The Hunger Games] Johanna/Gale fanmix: in our bedroom after the war
So I'm in the middle of writing a long Johanna/Finnick piece, and when I started wondering what would happen to Johanna after the war, it occurred to me that, after the dust has finally settled, Johanna and Gale could actually sort-of get together and have this thing where they're both substitutes and they know they're substitutes, but they dive in head-first anyway, and their relationship is all kinds of fucked up, because they're both so broken, and broken people tend to gravitate toward each other, and it's such a beautiful mess. Then I talked to mlekopijca, who, as it turns out, happens to ship them, and, totally by accident, I found out that the song that I thought was perfect for them was also her Johanna/Gale song. Great minds and all that... And then this happened. I don't even know, okay. (Also, the more I think about this pairing, the more it makes sense, post-Mockingjay.)

one. LOVER I DON'T HAVE TO LOVE. bright eyes
I want a lover I don't have to love,
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk.
where's the kid with the chemicals?
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full.
I need some meaning I can memorize.
the kind I have always seems to slip my mind
two. ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME. three days grace
so what if you can see the darkest side of me?
no one will ever change this animal I have become
three. THE BAD IN EACH OTHER. feist
when a good man and a good woman
can't find the good in each other
then a good man and a good woman
will bring out the worst in the other
the bad in each other
four. BLACK SHEEP. metric
hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when
our common goal was waiting for the world to end
now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
you crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again
five. TO LET MYSELF GO (MALKYL MIX). ane brun
to let myself go
to let myself flow
is the only way of being
there´s no use telling me
there´s no use taking a step back
a step back for me
six. I LIKE PRETENDING. iamx
but your silver skin soothes my aching curses
and reminds me
that you're worth it
the whole world's insanities
the bleeding hearts and tragedies
won't distract me from the deathwish
seven. YOUNG BLOOD. the naked and famous
the bittersweet between my teeth
trying to find the in-betweens
fall back in love eventually
eight. IS THERE A GHOST. band of horses
I could sleep
I could sleep
I could sleep
I could sleep
when I lived alone
is there a ghost in my house?
nine. MOMENTUM. the hush sound
you are the scar on my tissue
that I show all of my new friends
should I show you me
all we need is a little bit of momentum
break down these walls that we've built around ourselves
ten. USE SOMEBODY (KINGS OF LEON COVER). bat for lashes
I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see
painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
you know that I could use somebody
you know that I could use somebody
someone like you
eleven. LOVE OUT OF LUST. lykke li
rather live out a lie than live wondering
how the fire feels while burning
for life is like a flame
and the ashes for wasting
so honey don't be afraid
to dance while we're waiting
twelve. IN OUR BEDROOM AFTER THE WAR. stars
we won, or we think we did,
when you went away, you were just a kid
and if you lost it all, and you lost it,
we will still be there when the war is over
