Scratch Your Name: Fanmix 2

The Music in You, a mix by astaria51

Aaaaah, oh god. The first time I listened to this mix, I was heading down into the subway, and suddenly I hear Geoff Rickly sing "In the shadow of the New York skyline, we grew up too fast" and I just froze (to the annoyance of many people behind me) and started smiling so hard. Because, yes. Exactly that, that's my story. (There's so much that resonates with me lyrically in this mix and in sweetnovicane's, and I'm probably going to post some babble on that soonish, because lyrics are so, so, so important to me when I listen to music. So my mixes were both amazing for me.)

Also, the cover art? *grins helplessly* I just--I want to know if my mixer drew it or where they found it or what--it's, I mean, it's like it's from the story.

( Have some more music... )

Summary: As the only survivor of a series of executions by the Squad at an underground music show, Lindsey starts her own private revolution doing (illegal) street art. Then, one night, caught out by and running from a Patrol group, she gets unexpected help in evading capture -- and joins a much more public revolution. Set in a very different New York City.


Author's Notes:

This fic would never have happened without a great deal of help from some amazing, amazing people. First and foremost, I can't tell you how much I owe enhendi and wasoncedelight--they held me to my own canon, yelled at me about characterization and punctuation and my many, many run-on sentences. torakowalski helped me build this universe, in a series of emails wherein I went "What if..." and she nodded encouragingly at me and asked intelligent questions, and then she betaed one of the early drafts as well. Finally, without the hand-holding, the cheering, and the support of nokomis305, thesamefire, and absenteye and many other poor souls on my flist, the story would not have been finished. I love all of you very much, ladies.

Also and obviously, I am most grateful to my wonderful artist tuesdaysgone, my fantastic mixers sweetnovicane and astaria51, who created marvelous, marvelous bonus content for my story, and to the bandombigbang mods for running this awesome challenge again. Someone mentioned color-coded spreadsheets, and oh man, I can't even imagine the madness. Finally, I borrowed the summary from here.

to sleep, perchance to dream

...or to go celebrate a holiday with extremely subtle symbolism. *coughs* Tomorrow's Midsummer Night's Eve, children, and we Swedes celebrate it by sticking a very, very, very large pole that looks like a penis into the ground. Go google Midsommarstång if you don't believe me.

Anyway, it means I am off for two days, until Saturday night or so. We'll be at the cottage getting drunk (the not-so-secret purpose of all Swedish national holidays), and I may be able to pirate wireless when we go to the grocery store, in which case I am opening torakowalski's big bang in tabs. But I am also bringing nokomis305's and liketheroad's, because zombies and schoolboys is just how I want to spend my weekend. And I have TIME TO READ THEM, YAY. \o/

Other than that, have fun, y'all. I'll see you soon. ♥
