FANMIX: Sanctuary: James Watson/Helen Magnus/John Druitt: Goodnight Trouble
"Where true Love burns Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart."
{Desire - Samuel Taylor Coleridge}
In 2011 I donated relief funds to the Japanese Tsunami appeal via purchasing a Sanctuary James/Helen/John OT3 epic historyfic of pornographic epicness over at help_japan, and whilst I don't think progress is being made on it anymore, I was inspired to MAKE A THREE PART MIX of the slightly AU concept that has legitimately been on the back burner for a long time.
I was ready to post this back at the end of 2011/beginning of 2012, right before Megaupload went kaboom, and since all my old links were Megaupload I put the post on private and eventually forgot all about it as I waited for MU to come back. Which it never did!!
SO.
Imagine. Let's just scratch Season 4 of Sanctuary, and most of 2 and 3 in actual fact, and go back to AU basics.
A chronological three part mix of 19th century Victoriana OT3 Oxfordian love, 19th and 20th century Ripper style love&war, leading up to the 21st century of right now - love, OT3 tragedy, death? YOU DECIDE.
James is alive. John is alive and sortof maybe back from crazy town.
The Tragic Never Dying Woeful Forever OT3 Love Continues.
But people we love do die eventually - even members of the Holy Five.

Back Cover.
01 // LOVE’S A BITCH // pierre adenot
Instrumental.
02 // BOATS AND BIRDS // gregory and the hawk
If you be my star, i'll be your sky, you can hide underneath me and come out at night.
When I turn jet black and you show off your light, I live to let you shine.
I live to let you shine.
03 // I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND // t.v. carpio
Oh please say to me, you'll let me be your man.
And please say to me, you'll let me hold your hand.
Yeah, you, you got that something, I think you'll understand.
When I feel that something, I wanna hold your hand.
04 // PLAYGROUND LOVE // air
I’m a high school lover, and you’re my favourite flavour.
Love is all, all my soul - you’re my playground love.
Yet my hands are shaking, I feel my body remains:
Times no matter, i’m on fire, on the playground, love.
05 // LA FAMILIA // mirah
Let's none of us forget about who we are - so choose a path and follow it, take a pill and swallow it
None of us forget about who we are - it's not forever we can fool around in the dark.
If we sleep together, would it make it any better?
If we sleep together, would you be my friend forever?
06 // THE FIRST FIVE TIMES // stars
Fifth time in your bedroom, and finally we rested, and you leaned upon your elbow and began to speak to me.
But you stopped yourself and kissed me, and I grabbed your lips and told you:
I know, I know, I know. I feel the same as you.
07 // TRIAD // jefferson airplane
You want to know how it will be - me and him or you and me:
You both stand there your long hair flowing, eyes alive your mind still growing, saying to me, "What can we do now that we both love you?”
I love you two - I don't really see why can't we go on as three.
08 // TWO AT A TIME // shelly fraley
Two at a time, they say, the best of ways to find your place.
Heart was beating, thump thump speeding, faster when I saw your face.
Round and round it goes, and where it stops, oh no one knows. Can't predict it, but I gotta say I hope it's so...
If I look your way, you will catch my gaze. You will find a way, to my door, it's open wide in wait.
09 // 3 // britney spears
Babe, pick a night to come out and play. If it's alright, what do you say?
Merrier the more - triple fun that way. Twister on the floor, what do you say?
Are you in? Living in sin is the new thing (yeah).
10 // DRIVE // melissa ferrick
Your mouth waters, stretched out on my bed, your fingers are trembling and your heart is heavy and red.
And your head is bent back, and your back is arched, my hand is under there holding you up.
I’ll hold you up, and drive you all night.
I’ll hold you up, and drive you baby ‘till you feel the daylight.
11 // MASTER PLAN // adam lambert
Your skin is burning at the sight of me, your mask can't hide what you’re thinking:
Don't ask (Don't tell), just take what you need - i'm an open book, so go on and take a look.
We are the face of a new generation, we are the ones who have no reservations.
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation:
Welcome to the Master Plan, don’t care if you understand!
12 // ALL MINE // portishead
All the stars may shine bright, all the clouds may be white, but when you smile ohh how I feel so good that I can hardly wait to hold you, enfold you - never enough!
Render your heart to me - all mine.
13 // THE BOOK OF LOVE // peter gabriel
The book of love is long and boring, and written very long ago.
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes, and things we're all too young to know.
But I, I love it when you give me things; and you, you ought to give me wedding rings.
14 // I KNOW YOUR NAME // misen
I followed the signs - I walked in the dark, I was blind. Lost my soul, sold my heart, and I was so strong.
I paid the price for freedom.
Come say my name; i’ll be pure and ashamed.
There must be a wind in my eye, come say my name.
I followed the signs. I never expected to find anyone I could love, or place I belonged, somewhere in my heart a feeling so strong.
I’ll find my way to freedom.

BACK COVER.
01 // CAPTURED // bic runga
I want you when you are close to me, I want you never to be far.
I know you have laid a trap for me, yes, I know you, but not as who you are.
Black on the ground, I am still as a stone. Whatever changed my love to despair?
Light through the clouds trapped the scent of a soul - in a moment, my love, I am captured, captured.
02 // EYES ON FIRE // blue foundation
I’ll seek you out - flay you alive - one more word and you won’t survive.
And i’m not scared of your stolen power; I see right through you any hour.
03 // BLACK BLACK HEART // david usher
Black Black Heart, why would you offer more? Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy?
I'm on fire - I'm rotting to the core. I'm eating all your Kings and Queens, all your sex and your diamonds.
04 // COSMIC LOVE // florence and the machine
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark - no dawn, no day - I'm always in this twilight, in the shadow of your heart.
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat - I tried to find the sound, but then it stopped, and I was in the darkness; so darkness I became.
05 // MIND UR MANNERS // patients
Close my eyes and come lay me down, and count the teeth marks along my bones.
Close your eyes and come lay you down, I'll count the scars along your knuckles.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained or it's what they say... but you've done well by sitting idle.
There is no fixing you this time, some lines crossed are not forgiven.
06 // IT’S A WAR // chandelle
Run.... while you can, and don’t stop for air.
It’s a War that we’re heading for, and it starts here tonight.
Wipe you clean, like a memory.
07 // ROLLING IN THE DEEP // adele
The scars of your love remind me of us, they keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling we could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
08 // TROY // sinead o’connor
And I never meant to hurt you, I swear I didn't mean those things I said - I never meant to do that to you , next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead.
Oh, does she love you? What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her? Is she good for you? Does she hold you like I do? Do you want me? Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me that you love me, just sometimes I wonder if I should believe.
Oh, I love you. God, I love you. I'd kill a dragon for you.
I'll die, but I will rise, and I will return - the Phoenix from the flame.
I have learned, I will rise, and you'll see me return.
Being what I am... there is no other Troy for me to burn.
09 // PAINTED BLACK // lee mead
Painted black, painted black - black as night, black as coal.
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky.
10 // TEAR YOU APART // she wants revenge
I want to hold you close, skin pressed against me tight.
Lie still, and close your eyes girl; so lovely, it feels so right.
I want to hold you close, soft breasts, beating heart.
As I whisper in your ear: “I want to fucking tear you apart.”
11 // DEGAUSSER // brand new
Well take me, take me back to your bed, I love you so much that it hurts my head!
Say, I don't mind you under my skin; I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in.
When we were made we were set apart - life is a test and I get bad marks,
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins.
The storm is coming, the storm is coming in.
12 // DON’T LEAVE ME BEHIND // the fallen
You won't go away.
These aching memories still dance around me, spilling over everything with beauty.
I see your face in everything before me, your voice is hunting me.
13 // JACK THE RIPPER // afi
And oh, you look so tired, but tonight you presume too much, too much, too much.
And if it's the last thing I ever do - i'm gonna get you.
Crash into my arms, I want you, you don't agree, but you don't refuse.
I know you.
14 // WHAT’S THE USE OF WOND’RIN // amanda palmer
Common sense may tell you that the ending will be sad, and now’s the time to break and run away.
Oh, what's the use of wond'rin if the ending will be sad?
He's your fella, and you love him, there's nothing more to say.

BACK COVER.
01 // DAYDREAMS // abel korzeniowski
Instrumental.
02 // DIRTY LITTLE SECRET // sarah machlachlan
There's nothing to be gained from this but disaster...
Here's a good one - did you hear about my friend, he's embarrassed to be seen now because we all know his sins.
If I had the chance love, you know I would not hesitate to tell you all the things I never said before, don't tell me it's too late.
03 // THE ICE IS GETTING THINNER // death cab for cutie
We're not the same, dear, as we used to be - the seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do to stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.
We bury our love in the wintery grave - a lump in the snow was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks, and the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.
04 // ON AND ON AND ON // wilco
Please don’t cry, we’re designed to die, don’t deny what’s inside.
On and on and on we’ll stay together yeah, on and on and on.
One day we’ll disappear together in a dream, however short or long our lives are going to be.
I will live in you or you will live in me, until we disappear together in a dream.
05 // LUCKY // bif naked
It was a monday, when my lover told me: "Never pay the Reaper with love only."
What could I say to you, except: "I love you, and i’d give my life for yours."
I know we are, we are the lucky ones.
06 // I DON’T SLEEP WELL // hello saferide
There is someone else right beside me, he kept every secret I told, he giggled his way straight through fall - and I don’t sleep well at all.
He knows when I’m happy and nods when I’m sad, and he puts out when I come home drunk.
And suddenly I stand real tall - but I don’t sleep well at all.
07 // WE’RE BOTH SO SORRY // mirah
I can't understand why you refuse my one request, just to press against my weaponry and then lay bare your chest - challenges like these can be won or lost or laid to rest.
Now we both agree to separate from the lonely castle steps; the kingdom is destabilized, the watchtower unmanned, the bedroom lies abandoned and the future is unplanned.
But we've got the past to remind us of love chivalrous and grand; and hey i'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand.
I'm sorry 'bout so much baby but I know you'll understand.
08 // SAMSON // regina spektor
You are my sweetest downfall - I loved you first, I loved you first.
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth; I have to go, I have to go.
Your hair was long when we first met.
Samson went back to bed, not much hair left on his head, he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed.
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us, and the bible didn't mention us, not even once.
09 // SWAY // shelly fraley
I saw you in a dream, waiting there for me; I wore you on my heart, you wore me on your sleeve.
We danced beneath the stars, down beside the creek; tomorrow when I wake, I'll remember how it used to be: sway, sway... ain't no rhyme or reason going to tell us why the good goes away.
Sway, sway... it's dizzying the feeling thinking about how all good things change.
10 // FORGIVENESS // misen
I’m... I’m a roamer in time, I travel alone throughout an endless journey.
Home, where is my home? Fragments of a love life, I won’t surrender.
When the spirits are calling my name, then I will have passed all the sorrow and pain:
And i’ll go to heaven with you, i’ll lay down my head on your pillow and ask for forgiveness.
11 // SAY IT’S POSSIBLE // terra naomi
And though they say it's possible to me, I don't see how it's probable; I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know.
I'll hold on - tell me that you won't let go. Tell me that you won't let go
This could be something beautiful - combine our love into something wonderful - but times are tough I know, and the pull of what we can't give up takes hold.
12 // GOODNIGHT TROUBLE // sarah sleanv
I kissed my friend, and he took my hand.
My trouble took flight - goodnight trouble, goodnight.
13 // SHOW // beth gibbons
Let the show begin... let the clouds roll.
There's a life to be found in this world, and now I see it's all but a game that we hope to achieve what we can, what we will, what we did suddenly.
But it's all just a show - a time for us and the words we'll never know.
And daylight comes and fades with the tide, and I'm here to stay.

You are my sweetest downfall - I loved you first, I loved you first.
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth; I have to go, I have to go.
Your hair was long when we first met.
Samson went back to bed, not much hair left on his head, he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed.
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us, and the bible didn't mention us, not even once.
09 // SWAY // shelly fraley
I saw you in a dream, waiting there for me; I wore you on my heart, you wore me on your sleeve.
We danced beneath the stars, down beside the creek; tomorrow when I wake, I'll remember how it used to be: sway, sway... ain't no rhyme or reason going to tell us why the good goes away.
Sway, sway... it's dizzying the feeling thinking about how all good things change.
10 // FORGIVENESS // misen
I’m... I’m a roamer in time, I travel alone throughout an endless journey.
Home, where is my home? Fragments of a love life, I won’t surrender.
When the spirits are calling my name, then I will have passed all the sorrow and pain:
And i’ll go to heaven with you, i’ll lay down my head on your pillow and ask for forgiveness.
11 // SAY IT’S POSSIBLE // terra naomi
And though they say it's possible to me, I don't see how it's probable; I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know.
I'll hold on - tell me that you won't let go. Tell me that you won't let go
This could be something beautiful - combine our love into something wonderful - but times are tough I know, and the pull of what we can't give up takes hold.
12 // GOODNIGHT TROUBLE // sarah sleanv
I kissed my friend, and he took my hand.
My trouble took flight - goodnight trouble, goodnight.
13 // SHOW // beth gibbons
Let the show begin... let the clouds roll.
There's a life to be found in this world, and now I see it's all but a game that we hope to achieve what we can, what we will, what we did suddenly.
But it's all just a show - a time for us and the words we'll never know.
And daylight comes and fades with the tide, and I'm here to stay.
