The first mix is by
sevenwindows, and holy god, is it good. I cried the first time I listened to it all the way through, not even gonna lie about that. The songs she chose are so perfectly matched to the whole mood of the fic, and Flame Trees especially hit me so hard. It just captures the feeling of loneliness and quiet despair that Gerard was feeling through the first part of the story so well. I sort of wish I had this mix to listen to as I was writing the story, it fits that well. And she included some of my favorite artists (Arcade Fire! Okkervil River! Alkaline Trio!) Thank you so much,
sevenwindows, for creating such an amazing mix! ♥

The second mix is by
ciel_vert, and I am honestly so in love with this mix I can't even tell you. Don't Fear the Reaper. Don't Fear the Reaper. That alone would make this mix amazing, but the rest of it is fantastic, too! I love that I can listen to it and follow the story along in my head through the songs. The songs are all just so wonderfully matched to the fic.
Plus I got beautiful cover art!
