Notes:
Small Town Trap - Eve 6
That whole wanting to be somewhere/someone else vibe of the song, wishing for a bigger life totally fits, but some lyrics in particular struck me.
I found a dime under the corner cushion
Wishing it was some place else and so do I
And
Satan’s in the living room choking me with apathy
Small town trap with dreams of breaking out
I totally want to see a scene with Devil!Pete having tea with Patrick’s mom.

School’s Out - The Last Hard Men
I think this one sort of speaks for itself. From the very first scene, this song was playing in my head. Between Patrick wishing he was out of school, and the various wishes that get him out of it, I figure it fits pretty well.

Deadly Handsome Man - Marcy Playground
Everything I say...like Socrates
Most people love to quote me
My real name is Mephistopheles
But you can call me Baby
Just. Pete.

Friend Like Me - Robin Williams
Disney is more Panic’s scene, I’ll grant you, but this is such a perfect fit that I couldn’t resist. If it’s too cracktastic, feel free to skip it.

Lullaby - The Cure
For the first dream…
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more”
Creepy *and* sexy. Just like Pete Wentz…

Mr. Cellophane - Joel Gray
Another slightly crack-y one, but it is too perfect for Patrick’s frame of mind leading up to his third (first proper) wish:
Mister Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mister Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there...

Temptation Waits - Garbage
I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing
This song has Devil!Pete all over it. Plus it’s super sexy. Think it’s particularly fitting after Patrick sees how his third wish turns out.

Can’t Stop - Maroon 5
There’s so much about this song that is perfect for the fic in general, but in particular about Patrick’s reoccurring dreams:
And I fall asleep
And dream of alternate realities
And put myself at ease
By pretending that she still loves me
Whatever, change the gender *shrug*. I really love the “dream of alternate realities.” Perfect. And:
All alone in my room, think of you
At a rate that is truly alarming
I keep looping my memories of you in my head
I pretend that you want me
Oh silly Patrick, that’s he because he *does* want you.

Man, I feel Like a Woman - Shania Twain
For wish number 4. Because Pete is a huge asshole and this song is hilariously perfect. She feels like a woman! It is country music! Short skirts and high heels! She just wants to be free to feel the way she feels!

Heartbreaker - Pat Benetar
Patrick should not let Pete be kissing him at all. Like “Deadly Handsome Man” I think this one is a good fit for Devil!Pete.
You’re the right kind of sinner
To release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner,
And you know that you were born to be
You’re a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don’t you mess around with me

Another Night - Real McCoy
Another night, another dream, and always you
It's like a vision of love that seems to be true
In the night, in my dreams
I'm in love with you
Self-explanatory, I think.

Gives You Hell - All-American Rejects
Patrick’s wish number 5. I can totally see Pete singing this after he hears what Patrick wants. So you wanted a perfect life?
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well

I’m Your Villain - Franz Ferdinand
You toss in a word
I'm your villain
I see the passion emerge
I'm your villain
Pete’s trying to hold onto this idea that he’s no good for Patrick, like he’s trying to protect Patrick from him. Lying about how he feels because he thinks it’s for the best…Trying to teach Patrick a lesson with the fifth wish.

Toxic - Britney Spears
Part of me is in awe of the fact that I’m putting Britney Spears on here. But it was this or “If U Seek Amy,” so…Patrick would never actually *say* any of this, but I can totally imagine it playing when they make out at the party.
It’s getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me

Through Being Cool - Saves the Day
I didn’t want to use any of the songs named in the story, because that felt like cheating. But I figured I could use the bands. And this one fits with Patrick’s choice of Pete over being popular guy.

Almost - Bowling for Soup
Every line beginning with “I almost” makes me think of the various wishes Patrick makes and lives he could have lived.
I almost got drunk at school at 14
I almost made out with the homecoming queen
I almost dropped out to move to LA
I was almost famous for almost a day
I almost had you
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too
Almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on
Seriously, it could be a catalogue of Patrick’s wishes…Plus this part makes me laugh. Pete’s such a dick:
I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more

Bad Ambassador - The Divine Comedy
Pete trying to push Patrick away yet again. Cause he’s a stupid head like that. And he’s so obvious about it.
I’m a bad ambassador for that elusive place you’re searching for
I want to show you so much more
But maybe some other time

I Miss You - Blink 182
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
I can totally just envision this montage of Patrick flopping around on his bed, unable to sleep, going through the motions at school and stuff, unable to stop thinking of Pete, while this song plays in the background.
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight

I Am You - Depeche Mode
I had a couple of different Depeche Mode songs going through my mind when they finally got together, but this one is slow and sexy, and the lyrics are dark but sweet. So, yeah.
Dark obsession in the name of love
This addiction that we're both part of
Leads us deeper into mystery
Keeps us craving endlessly
Strange compulsions that I can't control
Pure possession of my heart and soul
I must live with this reality

Absolute Beginners - David Bowie
I had to have some Bowie in here somewhere and this was such a great fit for the ending.
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
They’ve started over again, but they both know…The lyrics totally go along with my idea of Pete and Patrick against the world, saying fuck everyone, they have each other.

Have I mentioned before what a lucky gal I am? *g* moku-youbi made this fantastic fanmix for my story with some great music and using probably my all-time favorite picture of Pete Wentz ever in the cover art. Plus! She wrote liner notes with details about how the songs relate to certain scenes in the story, which is just a writer's dream come true. Thank you, thank you, moku-youbi, for such a wonderful treat!
