Author’s Note: So this was supposed to be a quick way to knock out the "assassins" square on my au_bingo card, and now it wants to be an epic verse. Fuck my life! For now it is just this mix…unless someone knows of a het bigbang I can eventually sign up for, in which case they should probably not let me know in comments (LET ME KNOW IN COMMENTS). ANYWAY, thank you so so much to gigglingkat for helping me make sure this mix makes sense and reordering things a bit and to waterofthemoon for downloading it and pointing out all the technical mistakes I made and helping me fix them. Below you will find 10 songs, you can download them all or each individually and some lyrics/explanation of my choices. Also the download comes with my really bad cover/back cover art included. As you can see, me and graphics making-our love is not meant to be.
Summary: Jared is an assassin-he loves his job, and he's the best there is. At least until he's hired to kill Genevieve Cortese, recent heiress of one of the most successful companies in the nation, and makes the stupidest mistake imaginable: he falls in love.
Killer for Hire: A Jared/Genevieve Fanmix
1. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Explanation: Jared is celebrating with a few of his assassin buddies. They’ve all just gotten new jobs and are planning to crash a party to find their marks. Jared's been hired to kill some bimbo heiress with too much time on her hands, and he's looking forward to it. He's got no regrets: his job is fun and it's what he's good at. Besides, if it wasn't him, someone else would be doing it anyway…
Load up on guns and bring your friends-
It's fun to lose and to pretend.
She's over-bored and self-assured,
Oh no, I know a dirty word.
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out, it's less dangerous.
Here we are now, entertain us.
I feel stupid and contagious.
Here we are now, entertain us.
A mulatto, an albino,
A mosquito, my libido.
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed.
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end.
A denial…
2. Pace Is the Trick - Interpol
Explanation: Jared's first meeting with Genevieve. This is him being all cocky and seducing her. It works, though it's not quite as easy as he'd expected. She's smart and a little suspicious, but she's not good enough to see through Jared.
You can't hold it too tight,
These matters of security.
You don't have to be wound so tight
Smoking on the balcony.
Well, it's like sleaze in the park.
You women, you have no self-control.
We angels remark outside-
You are known for insatiable needs,
But I don't know a thing.
I've seen love,
And I follow the speed in the starlight.
I've seen love,
And I follow the speed in the star-swept night.
Yeah, pace is the trick.
And to all the corruption in man-
I see you as you take your pride, my lioness.
Your defenses seem wise, I cannot press.
And attention's at demise, my lioness,
Can't you hurt it some? I think I hurt it.
I've seen love,
I follow the speed in the starlight.
I've seen love,
And I follow the speed in the star-swept night-
And now I select you,
Slow now, I let you see how I stun.
Now I select you,
Slow now, I bet you see how I stun
To all the destruction in man...
And to all the corruption in my hand-
...you don't hold a candle.
3. Dirty Whirl Wind - TV on the Radio
Explanation: Jared seduces Genevieve according to the plan, but he didn't plan for her to blow his mind. He decides to let her live and keep hitting it for a little bit longer, even though he's starting to get a little more addicted than he probably should.
Oh, there is a murderess amongst us.
Her love is a violent spiral.
Hurling in upon us, conjured up
At the birth of the world.
Dirty little whirlwind-
Commander, controller
I found you.
Dirty little whirlwind-
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl.
Dirty little whirlwind-
Defender, destroyer
I found you.
Dirty little whirlwind-
Tangled up in the flesh of a girl
Oh, you could curl me up beside you.
The spark in your eyes belies the apocalypse inside you,
Twisting the pits from the particle.
Skull can't save face
So shake the shame from it.
Burn me up inside you,
Let me churn in your furnace of whirl.
All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea-
Hurricane rescued me, salvaged calamity.
4. Too Close for Comfort - Jamie Cullum
Explanation: ASSASSIN!JENSEN ACKLES WOULD LIKE TO INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED JARED-POV FANMIX WITH A WARNING: GET OUT OF THIS, YOU ARE GOING DOWN A SLIPPERY SLOPE. P.S. JAZZ HANDS!
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart,
Don't upset your cart when she's so close.
Be soft, be sweet-but be discreet.
Don't go off your feet-she's too close for comfort!
Too close, too close for comfort-No! Not again.
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when."
One thing leads to another-
Too late to run for cover-
She's much too close for comfort.
Put on your old thinking cap, boy,
Cause if you don't look out you
Will find out that you are much too-
You're too close for comfort.
You're heading for a mishap, boy.
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree.
She's too close for comfort!
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware-
On your guard, take care, when there's such temptation.
5. Assassin - John Mayer
Explanation: Jared sees where Jensen is coming from and acknowledges that his warning has some sense to it (though…really? Jazz hands? Really?), but he keeps making excuses not to kill Genevieve. They keep getting flimsier and flimsier, until finally he's got her right where he wants her, asleep on his shoulder, and he can't bring himself to do it. She just looks so peaceful, and he doesn't want to wake her up. Jared can't kill her and he can't really bring himself to leave her, either.
I work in the dead of night
When the roads are quiet
No one is around
To track my moves.
Race in the end of lights
To find the gate is open,
She's waiting in the room.
I just slip on through.
You get in,
You get done,
And then you get gone.
You never leave a trace or show your face-
You get gone.
Should have turned around
And left before the sun came up again…
But the sun came up again.
Enter the morning light,
To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
In a little white room.
No, I'm not alone-
Her head is heavy on me,
She's sleeping like a child.
What could I do?
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen.
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing.
I'm an assassin, and I had a job to do.
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too.
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe.
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything.
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I cannot move a thing.
Suddenly I know exactly what I'd done and what it's gonna mean to me-
I'm gone.
6. Man Burning - Josh Ritter
Explanation: PLAN A: Since he can’t make himself leave her, he'll just convince her to leave him! By telling him he's trouble and she should get away from him. This plan is an epic fail. Genevieve just tells him she loves him no matter what he thinks of himself and makes everything 100x worse.
Don't stand so close to me.
Don't be another tragedy.
I've burned everybody who had a hand to lend.
A man burning at both ends.
No one put me in this hell,
I lit a fire underneath myself.
Now I'm blazing the same old trail back to you again.
A man burning at both ends.
A dangerous thing to know about-
No painless way to put me out.
You either make a bed that's cold,
Or you're walking barefoot over coals.
I regret the things I've done.
Bitter words and fiery tongues,
And letters burned to smoke and then turned to wind.
A man burning at both ends.
We ran barefoot through the reeds,
Wetted down and with the need,
The tide though high-and getting higher-
Could not put out the man on fire.
Look look look look look down your street for me.
Look look look look look up your the window please.
You'll see a light where before no light had been,
A man burning at both ends.
7. Slow Hands - Interpol
Explanation: PLAN B: Freak out because this is a really bad situation he's gotten himself into. He didn't mean to fall in love, but he did, and now he realizes all he wants is Genevieve.
Yeah, but nobody searches.
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud.
And I might stop and look upon your face,
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze.
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a floral blaze.
Can't you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now.
I submit my incentive is romance.
I watched the pole dance of the stars.
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars.
But I am married to your charms and grace,
I just go crazy like the good old days.
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you.
We spies,
Yeah, we slow hands-
You put the weights around yourself.
We spies,
Oh yeah, we slow hands.
Killer for hire you know not yourself.
8. I Could Have Lied - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Explanation: Tired of lying, Jared tells Genevieve the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. She promptly dumps his ass and gets lost.
There must be something
In the way I feel
That she don't want me to feel.
The stare she bares cut me…
I don't care,
You see so what if I bleed?
I could never change
Just what I feel,
My face will never show
What is not real.
The sweetest feeling
I got from you-
The things I said to you were true.
I could have lied I'm such a fool,
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool.
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now.
But now she's gone yes she's gone away,
A soulful song
That would not stay.
You see she hides 'cause she is scared-
But I don't care
I won't be spared.
9. Downfall - Matchbox 20
Explanation: Jared is very sad and really misses Genevieve. He knows he screwed up, he knows he was a horrible person, but he really loves her and he really needs her. He's not ready to let her go, even if it's the right thing. He goes to find her and prove that he deserves her, and that she can make him a better person.
I wonder how you sleep.
I wonder what you think of me.
If I could go back,
Would you have ever been with me?
I want you to be uneased.
I want you to remember.
I want you to believe in me.
I want you on my side.
Come on and lay it down.
I've always been with you.
Here and now,
Give all that's within you.
Be my savior,
And I'll be your downfall.
Here we go again,
Ashamed of being broken in.
We're getting off track-
I wanna get you back again.
I want you to trouble me.
I wanted you to linger.
I want you to agree with me.
I want so much so bad.
Now I'm back on my own.
Lift my feet, feel like they're made of stone.
And I'll make you go where I go-
It's killing me, can I take you home?
Well, I'm coming home on my path
Is it me or did she paint it black?
10. Sigh No More - Mumford & Sons
Explanation: She forgives him! They get back together! Jared gives up killing and vows to be a better man. Love saves the day! YAYYYYYY.
Serve God, love me and mend.
This is not the end.
Lived unbruised, we are friends.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sigh no more, no more.
One foot in sea and one on shore.
My heart was never pure.
And you know me.
You know me.
But man is a giddy thing.
Love-it will not betray you,
Dismay, or enslave you, it will set you free.
Be more like the man you were made to be.
There is a design, an alignment, a cry
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be.
