FST: until light turns to sound
Fandom post - My first entry for the Where I Belong challenge (whereibelong823, and a new FST!
Fact: Nearly half of the playlists on my itunes library are for characters/pairings/fanfic motivation, so when ashes_and_wings first approached me about this challenge, the idea of finishing a new FST immediately came to mind. I have a couple of different SquallxRinoa playlists anyway, built around different story ideas or their relationship in general, so all I had to do was actually complete one.
The challenge is meant specifically to focus on the romance element of this pairing, but one of the things I love the most about them is just how desperately passionate their relationship is, and how, while romantic, it's very dark as well. So when compiling this, I tried to stick with a combination of love songs that more reflected two people standing together, literally, against time.
I included some of the lyrics with this one, since I hadn't done that before and think they are pretty. ♥
.
1. At the Beginning - Richard Marx & Donna Lewis - from "Anastasia"
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
2. I Thought I Was a Child - Jackson Browne
It's such a clever innocence
with which you show myself to me
as if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
3. Honey Let Me Sing You a Song - Matt Hires
Maybe I'm blind, maybe I'm blind
Oh I couldn't see you shine
And shimmer right in front of my eyes
Front of my eyes, oh no
I thought I saw light, thought I saw light
Oh it was a faded mirror, just a dim reflection
But you shine, you shine so much brighter
4. Dark Blue - Jack's Mannequin
We were boxing
We were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing)
You were swinging for Mars
And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines (the power lines)
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do
5. Forrest Gump Theme - Alan Sylvestri
instrumental
6. Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
7. Your Song - Kate Walsh
Haven't you heard?
I'm stuck on a verse
I'm stuck on a boy
who fills me with joy
I knew I was wrong
to jump straight on into
this picture so pretty
But he is so pretty to me
...
So I'll make whirlpools
and watch him sparkle
and we'll make love, make magic
8. Dark Roman Wine - Snow Patrol
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until light turns to sound
9. Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
...
Believe in me, as I believe in you tonight
10. First Love - Utada Hikaru
instrumental
11. You're All I Have - Snow Patrol
There is a darkness deep in you,
a frightening magic I cling to.
Just give me something to hold onto
12. Universe & U - KT Tunstall
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully
...
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
'Cause I am me, the universe, and you
13. Bend and Not Break - Dashboard Confessional
Try to understand there's an old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
So wont you hold me now?
14. Heaven - Angels & Airwaves
If you see a light break through the clouds
And fire up like distant towers
Where the world will begin, exactly how it ends
When you call for help when you are lost
Forever more, at whatever cost,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends,
Please stay, don't go
I got you now, are you curious?
