Mixer's Notes: Made for Music and Mixes Month over at
runaway_tales and
waywardmixes' Round 12: Family. Martin Family Life is one of my oldest original verses, the other being The Alerian Chronicles. What started out as a a roleplay of self-insert Backstreet wives has evolved into so much more. In it current incarnation, the story revolves around Erica and Quentin, paternal first cousins. It's nothing that can really be novel length, it works best as a series of one-shots that depict various parts of their lives. Also, I wanted to do the Carters, I did. I even started the mix. But it wasn't meant to be.
Erica:
Erica is insecure at best, depressive at worst. She's never happy in her life and always needs reassuring that her husband (who is currently named Blake, but might change) really does love her for who she is, even going so far as to threaten to leave him.
♪ P!ink - Fuckin' Perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothin'
You're fuckin' perfect to me
You're so mean
When you talk
About yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
♫ D.H.T. - Listen To Your Heart
Listen to your heart, when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going, and I don't know why
But listen to your heart, before you tell him goodbye
♪ Backstreet Boys - Love Is
You're my secret place
Where I can be myself
You connect with me
Like nobody else
Even though our circumstances changed
Our love still remains
You keep me on ground
but still you help me fly
You taught me to be patient
I taught you to rely
♫ Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
♪ Kaci Brown - Thank You
For being everything
you always are
For being there like no one else
You know my heart
Do you realize what you've done
For me
You made me see that love is worth believing in
I want to thank you for being
The one thing I can count on in my life
For always giving more than you have to give
I love you for everything you do
I just want to thank you
Quentin:
Quentin likes to be the family protector. Between Erica's insecurity issues, and the fact that his younger sister, Sarah, has Down Syndrome, he's always felt like he needed to be the one to protect everyone, even if sometimes he's the one that needs protecting (that's what his husband, Aidan, is there for)
♫ Clay Aiken - I Will Carry You
Don't ya hang your head
Don't ya give up yet
When courage starts
To disappear
I will be right here
When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
Turn around
When your dreams give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you're fallin' behind
I will carry you
♪ I Will Come To You - Hanson
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
When you don't know how and why but you've lost your way
Have no fear
When your tears are falling I will hear your spirit calling
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When you have no light to guide you and no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh
I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy you won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh
I will come to you
♫ Savage Garden - Chained To You
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
♪ *NSYNC - Something Like You
Cause something happens when you look at me
I forget to speak
Something happens when you kiss my mouth
My knees get so weak
Could it be true this is what God has meant for me
Cause baby I can't believe that something like you
Could happen to me
♫ Darren Hayes - Insatiable
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show you
My love for you is
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you is
Insatiable
