When I'm actually writing I only listen to instrumentals, usually orchestral soundtracks. Movies and modern video games are very good for this, though I do have the Game of Thrones soundtrack for dramatic moments.

I do have character songs, though, I just don't listen to them when I'm writing. I also am not great at keeping track of songs (azelmaroark has so many I can't keep up) but let me try to remember a couple --

- "Whataya Want From Me?" (Adam Lambert) - Claudius
- "On Top of the World" (Imagine Dragons) - happy mentor song (but primarily mentor Misha in the Victor Lene AUs)
- "It's Time" (Imagine Dragons) - Devon
- "F*ckin' Perfect" (Pink) - Mentor Misha
- "I Almost Do" (Taylor Swift) - Brutus & Frigga, married-to-Odin universe
- "Perfect" (Simple Plan and Alanis Morissette, respectively) - Alec
- "Hear Me" (Imagine Dragons) - general D1F song
- "Help I'm Alive" (Metric) - another D1F song
- "Shattered" (Trading Yesterday) - victors & mentors song
- "Bleeding Out" (Imagine Dragons) - Clove & Cato

BONUS:
- "Demons" (Imagine Dragons) - Every Victor Ever, according to tumblr, and it's really funny to see people get possessive over it (it's a generic Victor song guys, just let it go)
