the scarlet ibis: official soundtrack
Well, it's been nearly a year since finishing The Scarlet Ibis and I never got around to fixing up the small playlist I listened to while I was writing that fic. I draw a lot of inspiration from music and sounds and the way they make me feel or think, and I couldn't have written this fic without my music to help keep me in the deep, dark zone I dwelled in during the writing of The Scarlet Ibis. I finally got around to working on the playlist again and made a sort of OST to go along with the fic. I thought it would be neat to share that OST with you guys, in case there's anyone out there like me who likes to set certain fic scenes to music inside your head while reading. The OST can be listened to by clicking the quarter note after the title. The fic can be read starting from here. I hope you enjoy it!
