A Long-Forgotten Fairytale [an Arthur/Eames AU fanmix]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
So this mix is a MONSTER and has been in the makings since October, haha. It was a different type of mixing project for me because it was created side-by-side with henriettayuki's fanfic of the same name. We decided we wanted to work on an Inception highschool AU together (it then became a childhood-to-college AU) after that she wrote a story outline, and then I made a first draft of the mix, then she wrote a first draft of the story. The mix then changed and grew as her fic needed it too, when she wrote a new scene, I added a new song to complement that new scene until it finally became, well, what is posted here.
The mix is fifty-five songs, split up into seven mini-albums to match the seven chapters of the fic. Each track is paired with a scene. Is it a bit excessive? Of course it is. But I hope you enjoy the mix if you decided to tackle it, and at the very least you should definitely go read henriettayuki's A Long-Forgotten Fairytale.

1. The Libertines - Albion Intro
[Instrumental]

Things began, things decay
And you've gotta find a way to be okay
But if you wanna spend the day
Wondering what it's all about
Go and knock yourself out
3. Patrick Wolf - Pumpkin Soup
Embrace the moment
Cause everything changes and all this will too
4. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - Hand Covers Bruise

We're off the rails
Now we are trains ourselves
No wait and see
This is all I know:
Sitting still to watch the engines come and go
6. Sky Sailing - A Little Opera Goes a Long Way
I'll reset
Your silhouette
And be your carousal
So hold onto
Your florescent view
And if you slip and fall
I will catch you

I needed you
12. The Futureheads - Skip To The End

To see the happy ending, or the broken heart

13. OneRepublic - Everybody Loves Me
Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
14. The Cribs - Things You Should Be Knowing
It's been sometime since I first met you
No one thinks about you more than I do
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
15. The So So Glos - Ain't It A Shame
Isn't it a shame
We don't even talk no more
16. The Libertines - I Get Along
I get along
Singing my song
People tell me I’m wrong
Fuck 'em

Let’s go downtown and watch the modern kids
Let’s go downtown and talk to the modern kids
They will eat right out of your hand
Using great big words that they don’t understand

I think it's about time to get it together
19. Hawksley Workman - Jealous of Your Cigarette
I'm jealous of your cigarette
And all the things you do with it
20. The White Stripes - Offend In Every Way
I'm walking through the door
But they're expecting more
Of an interesting man
And sometimes I think I can
But how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
With every word I say
Offend in every way
21. Jon Brion - Peer Pressure
[Instrumental]

And gasp for air
And send your name off from my lips
Like a signal flare
23. Jeremy Warmsley - Lose My Cool
You make me lose my cool
My inhibitions and my patience
It seems that we're always on the move
One step ahead of every sense
24. Bell X1 - Flame
When your hand brushed against mine
I thought I'd collapse
I'm no rolling stone
I gather too much moss
Maybe it's 'cause I'm getting
A little bit older
But oh how your neck
Flows to your shoulder
It draws me, it draws me to your flame
25. The Strange Boys - Be Brave
Awareness fell on me
I felt my ribs
I'm mud, I'm mud
Everybody thinks I'm calm
Oh I had to be brave
26. Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses
What you got next-o?
Walking twenty five miles-o?
Well I'm bored
I'm bored
Come on let's get high
27. Say Hi To Your Mom - Let’s Talk About Spaceships
And don't look now
But there's a spider
Crawling on the wall behind you
Yep I should have paid attention in algebra
Let's talk about spaceships
Or anything except you and me, okay?
28. Grizzly Bear - Shift
But when push comes to shove
This is getting old

You said I can see you in my path

With our machinations and our palindromes
32. The Polyphonic Spree - Empty Halls
[Instrumental]
33. The Mountain Goats - Hello, Old Rabbit
I saw the cool garden and I though a while about
How I’d been waiting for you since the second grade
The flowers made the air boil
The boiling air made me think of you a while
I did not come here to suffer
34. Realpeople - Untitled 1
[Instrumental]

When every little thing
You own is looking back
At you and starts to mean
Less than it ever did

The only one you really trust
Is the one who always lets you down
It's not my place to give advice
When all I've done was make mistakes
41. Delays - Panic Attacks
These panic attacks helped me breathe until now
My heart just skipped a beat
This is it
Something's found
I feel weak
I'm brand new
Who am I?
Where are you?

Listen, my hopeless friend
Come inside and drop your coat
Wash your hair you smell like a goat

I have weird memories of you
I wanna go gator around the warm beds of beginners
I'm really worked up
44. Department of Eagles - Teenagers
Something's tumbling down inside your holy head

Do me a favour, break my nose
Do me a favour, tell me to go away
Do me a favour, stop asking questions

It's important to me

Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Since I've memorized your face
It's been four hours now
Since I've wandered through your place
And when I sleep on your couch
I feel very safe
51. The National - Brainy
You might need me more than you think you will
52. The Magnetic Fields - Long-Forgotten Fairytale
If someone told me you'd be here
Whispering these familiar things
Talking to my little pets
Smoking the same old cigarettes
I would have laughed

This night is winding down but
Time means nothing
As always at this hour
Time means nothing
One final final round cause
Time means nothing
54. Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and a Sound [Daytrotter Version]
Now I see you, til kingdom come
You're the one I want
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done
Blooming up from the ground
3 Rounds and a sound
Like whispering you know me
And you know me
55. Andrew Bird - <--
