94 → Spain/Belgium FST
I've slowly been falling more and more in love with these two - either as affectionate friends or lazy lovers. Both are rather warm and loving - Spain, all smiles and sun; Belgium, teasing and sweet. Though their interaction has been limited in the series (let alone Belgium actually existing as a character in canon, what), the bit they've had have been sweet and silly, and their personalities are both as warm as summer air.
This, ironically, isn't very history heavy; I tried to focus more on their general relationship, although a few songs here and there might point towards a certain timeframe or point in their lives. Really, I tried to make it as warm and sweet as they usually are, and I hope that feeling gets across. :') I suppose this could even work for a general "summer/love in the summer" FST, I dunno.
Anyway, this was yet another FST I picked at randomly for months, only to find songs when I'm not looking for them. Originally, this was a request from a quick FST meme from confictionery, and I liked both the pairing and the general mix enough to expand on it. Hopefully I did okay. Cover art comes from here on Pixiv. My bad for using fanart, but it was too perfect for what I had in mind.
Another giant thank you to confictionery, who helped me - as always - with song suggestions, encouragement, and helping me dork over two very silly characters that both of us can't seem to do anything but love. Thank you bb, this is for you. ♥
OUR SUMMER SKIN ❣ SPAIN/BELGIUM FST
our summer skin ( spain/belgium fst )
azure ray ❝home❞
And there you were
With your heart made of gold
So strong, the only thing holding us up
And we knew you would always be so close
And so this is why I'm here
snow patrol ❝the golden floor❞
I'm a peasant in your princess arms
Penniless with only charm
As we're leveled by the low, hot lights
And disarmed
I'm not afraid of anything even time
It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine
the decemberists ❝summersong❞
Rambling, where to begin
I tasted summer on your peppery skin
Been saved, the warm of the waves
I felt a slip into a watery grave
My girl, linen and curls
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
She's grand, the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
belle & sebastian ❝if she wants me❞
If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about
and be there with my best friend
If she wants me
brooke fraser ❝something in the water❞
I've got haloes made of summer, ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I've got crowns of words a'woven, each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing
Give me long days in the sun
Preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings layin' in all lazy
Give me something fun to do
Like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby, I'm still crazy over you
interference ❝gold❞
And I love her so
I wouldn't trade her for gold
Walking on moonbeams
I was born with a silver spoon
Hell I'm gonna be me
Gonna be free
Walking on moonbeams
And staring out to sea
joanna newsom ❝cosmia❞
Dried rose petal, red-brown circles
Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water (water, in)
But though I tried so hard, my little darling
I couldn't keep the night from coming in
death cab for cutie ❝summer skin❞
Squeaking swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
the temper trap ❝sweet disposition❞
Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's watching you
A moment, a love
A dream aloud
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs
florence + the machine ❝postcards from italy❞
And I will love to see that day
That day was mine
When she will marry me outside by the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine
bonus - abba ❝chiquitita (spanish version)❞
Chiquitita, sabes muy bien
que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
otra vez vas a bailar y seras feliz,
como flores que florecen
