Did you know that there are 8 fics on Gossamer bearing the title "My Heart Will Go On"? EIGHT! I kid you not.

I was telling amyhit in another thread that I was almost sure there was a Celine Dion songfic series. I had done an initial keyword search without success. Then I thought of doing a title search, so I type "Celine" and "Dion" in Gossamer and ( Read more... )

I'm doubled over laughing just reading your entry; I think actually reading the fics might kill me off for good.

I'll have you know I'm currently performing bypass heart surgery on myself. Mine could not go on after this:

She didn't know what she could say to explain it to him. How he meant more to her than her own life. Then, it came to her in the form of a Celine Dion song.
"'I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed, I will lay down my life, if that's what you need. Every second I live, that's the promise I make." She cradled his face in her hands, touching the top of his head with her lips. "Fox, darling, 'that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes.'"

Don't you just love our fandom, uh?

Ten blade, plz.

I was so moved that I kissed him on the head, and suddenly, the passion for each other was running through our bodies.
That's when I had to stop.

I can't say I blame you.

I seem to remember coming across a fic where Scully went over to Mulder's apartment and was surprised to find that he had a Celine Dion CD and that he loved it...

On a related note, I remember a songfic based on the song "With Arms Wide Open" where Mulder and Scully actually spoke in the words of the song...YAK!

...and that's how she found out he'd been brainwashed by The Consortium again? It had to be an X-File. *g*

But yeah, back in the days there were lots of song fics.

Oh dear, there should be a PETA for characters, because this just ain't right.

Badfic-songfic-MSR is my favorite genre. These are all perfect, thank you, Fish.

You're welcome darling, it was a lot of fun to dig them up. :)

*weeps*

Like hankmoodyblues, I'm sure I couldn't actually survive reading any of those.

It'll scar you for life, but it is unintentionally incredibly funny.
