Hey folks! Thought I'd grace you with my first fanmix, this time with Jason Todd and my OC Emily Taylor. I know you're all wondering why I have an OC for the wonderous world that is the DC universe. My answer is, I honestly have no f*cking idea. Instead of links to the mp3's, you get links to the video for it on YouTube. Can't be bothered to Google them all so I'll update when I find mp3s for you pirates. I joke, I joke- I love you guys. Keep in mind this is my very first ficmix, so be honest with the comments and play nice, okay?
Used a base I found on DevART, edited with MSPaint and GIMP. Fic is a work in progress.
I. LET IT RIDE/Automatic Loveletter (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Emily knows Jason's trouble. But she can't help but love him. On the back of the motorcycle, she feels free as long as they're together.
So take me away,
Take me out of this town
Run baby, run
We're unstoppable now
Top of the world, singin' out loud
And mean it and keep believing
We got the rest of our lives
To let it ride,
Let it ride,
Time of our lives,
Let it ride.
II. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART/DHT(
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason fights crime from the end of a gun. Emily knows his methods are dangerous and could get him killed, so she wishes him luck with a kiss goodbye before he leaves.
Listen to your heart,
When he's calling for you,
Listen to your heart,
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going,
And I don't know why,
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him 'goodbye'.
III. CRUSHED/Lesley Roy (
YouTube)(MP3)
- When Emily met Jason, she found herself falling head over heels for him. But the problem is, she swore after what happened between her and her ex, she'd never fall in love so easily again. "What's wrong with me?"
I swore I'd be
In control of myself,
What have you done to me?
Your lips, my skin,
I don't know where you end,
Nor where I begin,
I hate you, but I love you
So don't ever leave.
IV. BEHIND BLUE EYES/Limp Bizkit (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason knows he can never tell Emily what his past was like, seeing she has ties with the Justice League that would be severed if he told her the truth. For his actions, for his violent nature, there's only one person he can blame- The bat himself, Bruce Wayne.
No one knows what it's like,
To feel these feelings
Like I do,
And I blame you!
V. LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST/Linkin Park (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason knows Emily worries for him, that she loves him regardless of what he is. So he makes her promise that, if and when he dies, she'll forgive what he's done and move on, but never forget.
When my time comes,
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty,
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest,
Leave out all the rest.
VI. HOW YOU REMIND ME/Nickelback (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason knows about Emily's ex-boyfriend, Eric, who was abusive towards her but doesn't know why she didn't break up with him until she found out he was cheating when he damn near killed her.
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must've been so bad,
'Cuz livin' with him must've damn near killed you
VII. RUNNING UP THAT HILL/Placebo (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Emily eventually finds out about what happened to Jason's parents and wishes that somehow, she could swap their lives so he could have had a better life. But for now, all she can do is help him when she can.
And if I only could
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Keep running up that road,
Keep running up that hill,
With no problem.
VIII. WHISPERS IN THE DARK/Skillet (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Emily shows Jason the scars on her arms that show that she used to cut herself while she was with Eric because she thought at the time that it would help her become strong enough to deal with the abuse. But everyone knows razors aren't roses. Jason promises he won't be like Eric.
Despite the lies that you're making,
Your love is mine for the taking.
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I'll be the one that's gonna hold you
I'll be the one that you'll run to
My love is a burning consuming fire.
IX. CHASING CARS/Snow Patrol (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason shows up uninvited at the spring fling at Emily's school and takes her on the floor during a slow dance. Emily doesn't care if he's gatecrashing, because she wouldn't have him turn up any other way.
We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need anything, or anyone.
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
X. HALLELUJIAH/Paramore(
YouTube)(MP3)
- During another slow dance, Jason notices that Emily's nervous because of the glares they're getting from her female classmates. Jason just smirks and keeps dancing with Emily, swinging her around and making her laugh, making her classmates jealous.
This time, we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming hallelujiah
We'll make it last forever.
XI. BAT OUT OF HELL/Meatloaf (
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason takes over the mic at the dance and sings, dedicating the song to Emily. Emily can only smile and watch and laugh.
Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes,
When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes,
But when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moonlight's shining through,
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I'll come crawlin' on back to you.
XII. WORLD SO COLD/Three Days Grace(
YouTube)(MP3)
- While Jason is out on a dangerous 'mission', Emily watches the city from her bedroom window, unable to sleep knowing that Jason might die tonight.
Living in a world so cold,
Wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul,
Since you've gone away,
Living in a world so cold,
Counting the days
Since you've gone away,
You've gone away from me.
- Emily sees a shadowed figure staggering in the streets looking badly injured. She races out into the street with a first aid kit she grabs from the kitchen. The person on the street is Jason. He passes out and she drags him inside to see to his injuries.
XIII. DEARLY BELOVED/Yoko Shimomura (Fluffy ficbit!)(
YouTube)(MP3)
- Jason awoke the next morning to find himself in a warm, comfy bed. He noticed the bandages- someone had patched him up after his little adventure last night.
"What the...?" He noticed the stuffed animals and the bean bag chair and the bookcase and the desk with a laptop humming away there, the side table with a lamp, books and a first aid kit. Who's room was this? Jason felt a hand rest on his and he looked to his other side to see Emily sleeping beside him.
"Em...?" The brunette's eyes fluttered open and she gave him a sleepy smile.
"Jason...you're awake. That's good. I was afraid you weren't going to make it through the night." Jason was surprised. Emily had gone out into the street, in the dead of night, dragged him into her room and had patched him up herself. He smirked.
"You didn't need to come and get me." Emily looked at him worriedly.
"I saw you out on the street...I had to help you, Jason. I couldn't just leave you there." Jason chuckled softly and put an arm around Emily, who moved closer to rest her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beating softly under her ears, harmonizing with his steady breathing.
"You're too good to me, kid." Emily smiled.
"I was just trying to help." Jason ran his hand through Emily's long brown hair, twisting a lock around his finger and kissing it. Emily giggled as she started to fall back to sleep in Jason's arms.
"I love you, Jason."
"You too, Em." He sighed. "You too."
