The Wrong Year The Decemberists And the rain falls on the wrong year / And it won't leave you alone / It won't leave you alone...Struck down as a summer child / Ten steps just to run a mile...

Feel free to choose something else, too!!

Satin In A Coffin Modest Mouse you were laying on the carpet / like you're satin in a coffin. / you said, "do you believe what you're sayin'?" / yeah right now, but not that often. / are you dead or are you sleepin'? well now the blow's been softened / since we are our own damn coffins. / well everybody's talkin' about their short lists. / everybody's talkin' about death.

Riptide - Vance Joy
There's this movie that I think you'll like / This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself / And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide / Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man / I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because / You're gonna sing the words wrong

Bad Reputation Joan Jett i don't give a damn 'bout my reputation / the world's in trouble, there's no communication / everyone can say what they wanna to say / it never gets better, anyway / so why should I care about a bad reputation anyway?

[ Cashmere's first impression of Johanna: pathetic. She mentors the year of Johanna's games, and can still remember her instructions to her own tributes: don't waste your time on the girl from Seven, she'll get herself killed without your help. But Cashmere was wrong, and her smugness turned to surprise, and then anger. In a way, she still holds it against Johanna - not because One lost (in the end, who cares), but because being wrong is humiliating, and Cashmere had never seen that loss coming.

But Johanna did win, so Cashmere has to see plenty of her anyway, even if she'd rather not. They can both do as they please in the limited semi-privacy victors have, but do need to play nice at sponsor parties. Playing nice in this case means that when their paths cross, Cashmere at least drops her voice to a whisper: ]

Move over. I have five minutes before Felix comes back. [ Cashmere motions for Johanna to slide to the other end of the loveseat. She intends to spend all five minutes away from One's newest sponsor sitting and shoving hors d'oeuvres in face. ]

Nothing At All Rob Dougan let the whole world fall away / and fall into my arms / stay with me / I don’t know how long we’ve got left / and so I’m asking you to forgive me / I learn as I go / to float far away into silence / and just watch your face / and find some kind of grace in that quiet bliss

I'm Not Calling You a Liar [Varric's Theme] Florence + the Machine I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me And I love you so much, I'm gonna let you kill me There's a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep Wraps itself around my tongue as it softly speaks Then it walks, then it walks with my legs To fall, to fall, to fall at your feet There but for the grace of God go I And when you kiss me, I am happy enough to die

I have no idea what I am doing...

[dagnir_lhug]

People always looked at him in awe now after slaying Smaug and defending the people of Laketown. People forgot he was just Bard of Laketown who somehow became Bard of Dale, leader of what was left of them. So many had died. So much blood spilled over something so pitiless and cruel like gold. It angered him to even think about how much death came of something so... useless.

Money and gold may be the way of the world and becoming rich insured an 'easy' life. But it did not prove 'good' in any other way. Sometimes when he looked out onto the fields between Erebor and Dale, he felt like the cold might seep into his soul. But in rebuilding the town, he had no time to linger on those thoughts. Not usually.

Today he looked the other way. Over the lake and into the woods where the river disappeared into the darkness. Today he met with liaisons from Mirkwood to talk of trade and things he did need. His people needed healing herbs and other essentials only found in the Elven kingdom. As a respect, humans stayed out of the forest unless they were invited. Since the battle, relations had gone seemingly well, but he respected King Thranduil and he would not break the trust they had built.

So he waited with his small band of men as the group of elves should be appearing in the distance soon if he did his calculations for travel time correctly. It didn't stop him from perching on a boulder to simply watch and wait as his men talked amongst themselves about home and children.

Acceptance Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Silent Hill) Deep in the night you think everything's right Tell it to yourself. Say it's just a nightmare Something is telling you nothing can change where you are Again Why should it matter, your dreams of a child? Innocence is gone. Only fear to play with Faces are changing, but nothing is changing the pain Too late Two steps I take getting closer and closer And one more breath I take sends me further back Over and over it calls to your soul Say it isn't so. Emptiness surrounds you No one can help if the angels refuse to come near Who's there?

Light Up The Night Protomen At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is. And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist. It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to the devil, and now It's gone to hell and they wonder how. Well, a friend once told me: Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels. Now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would they do if we held them still? If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine. A beacon of light from a burning screen. Light it up. Light up the night.

Ratchet wasn't big on religion, but a small statue of Micronus Prime found itself on his heating mantle regardless. And he wasn't personally in need of wheels to get around, but his home had ramps and arm-height bars for balance, for lifting, for motion. Nonslip flooring. There was still a way to go, but he was relatively pleased with the progress.

Still, Fixit was always welcome no matter what level of customization Ratchet's home was at, and it was still relatively early days. He had to do most of the remodeling himself, but he figured that he should get Fixit's input, lounging over the back of the couch like an ancient lazy cat as he passed a small datapad down to Fixit.

"Here. Tell me what your ideal kitchen space looks like. And I want your opinion, all right? I have enough room in my stubborn cerebrum for two opinions, maximum, so make it count."

There really was no opportunity for trust to be earned without it first being given. And when Charlie was (finally!!) contacted and appraised of the status of Bumblebee's new team, his first request was to be given a capture to help. Fifteen years of working close with Chase had taught him that he needed to be involved up close and personal with robots, had taught him a lot about his place in the galaxy and how best he could help visitors.

Or in this case, temporary detainees onto a small, otherwise unoccupied island just south of Griffin Rock, ostensibly for the purpose of rehabilitation.

While Chase wasn't far off, Charlie requested meeting with the detainee (deertainee, Blades had offered jovially, eliciting a groan from Heatwave) in private, at least initially. He kept a fair distance, at first.

"Thunderhoof?" Fixit had sent along his file, though almost all the bots had been somewhat mystified by the human justice system, Heatwave had offered it probably had something to do with how short lived the humans were, but the Chief had countered that they all perceived time in the same way from second to second, and every moment was precious. This was an effort he was determined to try. "Welcome to Gryphus Minor. This is temporary accommodation for you, outside of stasis confinement. I don't know how much you were briefed on the way over, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have."

He was kind of enormous, and certainly imposing, the first Decepticon Charlie had ever seen.

[Sanosuke ain't good with romance stuff. He'd be the first to tell you that. How he ended up in this situation he will never, ever fathom. But here he is. Dancing. With Megumi. It involves a lot of stepping on her feet. Also a lot of staring at the ground trying to figure out why someone as supremely awesome as he is with most physical stuff can't figure out where to put his feet.

It's not all bad, for certain. He's dancing with Megumi. Which means he gets to hold her. Loosely, because he's afraid if he holds her too tight she might hit him on the head, which is probably inevitable and probably deserved given how many times he's stepped on her toes now. But he's holding Megumi. He has an arm around her waist and his other hand is holding hers and she's more beautiful than he'd ever be able to put into words and he admires the hell out of her for so many reasons and maybe it's just as well that he's distracted by being a lousy dancer, because otherwise he'd be intimidated as heck. So it's all worth it.

Uh. Probably. If she doesn't kill him.]

[ Finnick wins the year after Cashmere, and it makes her stomach turn. She's a Career, but One almost exclusively sends 18 year olds to the arena. Fourteen is too young for the Games, too young to be a Victor. He is too attractive for his own good and she hates knowing what will happen to him. But the beautiful people take care of their own, and she tries to keep an eye on him. Being a Capitol favorite is so much easier when it's not all on your own.

By the time the 75th Games roll around, she thinks she could say she trusts him. She trusts him enough, anyway, that when she begins to get the feeling that something big is about to happen, she seeks him out. The unrest in the districts is no secret, even in One where most people willingly throw themselves at the Capitol's feet. Things are changing, and as far as she can tell the sibling victors from One have been purposely excluded.

As they're leaving training for the day, Cashmere hurries after him, pulling him aside before he can reach the elevators. ]

Hey. We need to talk.

Eiri had been cooped up in his office for long enough. He'd been in there all day, doing god knows what. The Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares marathon was over and Shuichi had completely exhausted all means of entertaining himself. He was bored and starting to get hungry, plus, he missed his Eiri!

Tentatively, he crept up to the door and pressed his ear against it. He didn't hear anything; not the usual sounds of his lover's fingers clicking against the keyboard as those golden words flowed from his fingertips. Shuichi had become accustomed to that sound, and its absence sent a small chill down his spine.

Taking a breath, he tapped on the door with his index finger. "Yuuuuuki?"
