The Polyamorus Fanmix
So, on Thursday, the Poly Big Bang goes live, and THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN WILL BE POSTED. I know that my mixer was planning to do a mix, and I hope that she is still.
But look, I made a mix of my own, as I wrote it, and this is it. This is all I listened to as I wrote it. I was going to wait to post this after Thursday, but I have a feeling that the less I have to do whilst I am away, the better I will be. So, the story stats are:
Title: We held gold dust in our hands
Author: amand_r
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Team, etc (Jack/Lisa/Ianto/Gwen/Rhys and all permutations thereof with a heavy dose of the first three), Rhys, Rhiannon, Alice, Ten, Lisa (basically everyone!)
Timeline: AU from pre S1 and threads through both seasons, part of CoE and into THE FUTURE. Enjoy the ride.
[The files are a mix of different formats, but there's so much converting going on out there that I didn't convert them. I'll be honest-it's one of the few things I have never been able to figure out how to do, much like using ephpod on my computer, despite having it installed. So, I hope that's okay with you, and if you cannot play something in its current format, I am told there are converters out there. And if that doesn't work, I am sorry!]
Srs. I am excited. Hence:
THE POLY FANMIX
LISA: Regina Spektor, 'Laughing With' No one laughs at God in a hospital, no one laughs at God in a war/ No one's laughing at god when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for.
IANTO: The Clarks, 'Born Too Late' I've had a hard time leaving this place/ I've been counting all the lines on my face/ I'm gonna curse the sky, hit the ground/ What goes up comes tumbling down.
JACK: Dave Matthews Band, 'Gravedigger' Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913/ Made his great grandchildren believe you could live to a 103/ A hundred and three is forever when you’re just a little kid/ So, Cyrus Jones lived forever.
JACK/IANTO/LISA: A Newfound Glory, 'Glory of Love' I am the man who will fight for your honor/ I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of/ We'll live forever, knowing together that we/ Did it all for the glory of love.
JACK/LISA: Dave Garza, 'Slave' Black, orange, white, and red/ Dresses hanging off your bed/ From now until you reach your grave/ Baby I will be your slave.
JACK/IANTO: My Chemical Romance, 'Famous Last Words' I am not afraid to keep on living/ I am not afraid to walk this world alone/ Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven/ Nothing you can stay can stop me going home.
JACK/IANTO/LISA/GWEN/RHYS: Sophie B. Hawkins, 'We Are One Body' Your kiss, your kisses set me free/ (I wasn't listening before)/ Your lips your tongue your hands your feet/ (You gave everything back to me)/ I want you need you to feel free/ Now all I want is to be this free.
RHYS/GWEN: Barenaked Ladies, 'Life in a Nutshell' She's like a baby, I'm like a cat; /When we are happy, we both get fat and still /It's never enough, It's never enough, It's never enough.
JACK: Carbon Leaf, 'One Prairie Outpost' Scene after scene passes by my life/ The window's a wound. The road is a knife/ The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'/ I don't know, I don't know/ Because I don't know where to begin.
JACK/IANTO: Heather Nova, 'Walk This World' And it's burning in our fingers and it's burning on the road/ And I like the way you're broken and I'll like you when you're old/ And I see you in the garden and I feel you plant the seed/ I want you to come walk this world with me.
IANTO/LISA: Cyndi Lauper, 'Shine' I can see the frown you wear/ All around like some faded crown,/ Like a watch over-wound/ Gonna call down to this diamond buried underground/ Gonna pull you up, by your love, by your love.
JACK/IANTO: Mates of State, 'Proofs' But let's unravel the edge of time/ Where proofs and postulations rise.
JACK/IANTO/LISA: Lauryn Hill, 'Selah' Please save me from myself/ I need You to save me from myself/ Please save me from myself so I can heal.
TORCHWOOD: Tori Amos, 'Gold Dust' -do I have-of course I have,/ beneath my raincoat,/ I have your photographs./ and the sun on your face/ I'm freezing that frame.
END CREDITS: Ilaria Graziano, 'I Do' I do, I do emergere dal fondo per lottare e poi/ salire in alto più che mai/ I do, I do guardare nel futuro e sorridere/ senza temere nulla più [I do, I do emerge from the depths to fight and then/ Go higher than ever before/ I do, I do look to the future and smile/ Not fearing anything anymore.].
