in light of the spammy nature that has become livejournal, this needs to become a friends only place... *sigh* i am disappoint.

disclaimer: i don't even know what this is. in tradition with nanowrimo, i can't get my words out in regards to the equilibrists so, you have music vomit instead. there's a theme in here i'm sure. if you can figure it out let me know, yeah? let's hack it out in the comments, because Clinton Francis Barton is my favourite disney princess and he gives me ~FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS~ which are then complimented by the Natalia Alianova Romanova ~FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS~ that then get compounded by The Bob and The Bee ~FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS~ which have somehow become intermingled with my OH FROM SO FOREVER LONG AGO WHY CAN'T YOU JUST MAKE THINGS RIGHT IN CANON MARVEL? WHY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?! OMG BESTEST FIXIT FICS AND MOVIES EVAR ~FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS~ stupid freaking Marvel and your stupid freaking MCU of beautiful gorgeous things. like, seriously, was totally not sold on Johannson as being Natasha and Renner as Clint yet BEHOLD! ugh. aaaaaaaaaaaand now i can't let go. resurrected fandoms are the worst (see: BSG & Harry Potter) i lead such a perilous fangirl life. decades of suffering and ups and downs and headbashing and chinhanding and headdesking and facepalming and ASKDFJLing **CRIES INTO CORNFLAKES AND PUKE RAINBOWS** and best of all, it gave me all of youse guyses so i have to be grateful for the most awesomest place that ever awesomed full of brilliant people. every. single. one of you. I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR! *sniff* sorry this cover is so crappy but, ALASKA. it's like, a thing now. it is vital. (cyclically related: i'm changing my 'adventures in space bros' tag to 'super sexy spy shenanigans' which, it should've been in the first place anyway but cos i'm not very good with the forethought now i have to go and re-tag sixty PLUS entries. OI! is there a mass editor anyone knows about?)



( a bigger kind of killCollapse )

soooooooooooooooooo, this was supposed to be really informal and just made for inspiration purposes cos cybermathwitch needed some inspiration for her soul bonded fic heavy in your arms and she was all 'RAWR! WIP Y U SO HARD TO DO?!?!?' (which okay, kind of totally proves my point with why i really hate them so much but also, how fucking awesome is this bar that now we can all be part of the creative process? FUCKAWESOME! *SQUISHES*) with this mix we're trying to capture the whirlwind of this story (cos wow, they do all the ESCAPE AND SURVIVE portion without natasha knowing clint's name for like a whole two days or whatever. TWO DAYS, YOU GUYS!!! this fic is crazeballs and i love it!) but also encompassing the bond as a character in and of itself trying to relate this circularly to include coulson/the cellist and fury/jin mei (if you guess which track that's supposed to be you get cookies). koren and i were once talking about how natasha and clint are like two separate atoms that spin wildly and unbeknownst, are trying to find another with a similar charge and when the two meet they combine and create a new molecule. (YAY! SCIENCE ANALOGY!) so, my dear, i really hope this lives up to the headspace/mood you were shooting for and helps you out of the writer's block. (and, as you can tell, i made the covers this go round cos i know my wifey is busy. anyone should feel free to make a better cover for this patheticness cos lookit mah photoshop skillz, yo!)



( like a shadow on the wallCollapse )

this is for bob5fic and workerbee73's off the grid and five times... epilogue which both follow teenage makeouts (yeesh that's a lot of writing... WOMEN, YOU ARE AMAZING).

it seems that we call and answer through fic, meta and mix. ah, the triplicate of it all. SO MUCH LOVE! and i totally owe(d) bob some comparative mix/quote meta for history's mistakes but oi, life! so here darling, have this instead (but don't like, take it as concrete gospel. you can interpret this however you so wish dear listener. and bob, i'll get to HM one day. i swear i will. 'tis a goal!) oh, and bee, the last track is why i couldn't word correctly how FREAKING FANTASTIC the colour metaphor with natasha was in the epilogue. i picked this song last minute before the final chapter posting and said to myself after much analysis, 'self, this song is AWESOME! and lookit all the water and visual aids this song lends to in this world STRAIGHT FROM THE TEXT and lookit how perfect the music is in form! light and lifty and hopeful but still kind of freaking heavy and relentless.' AND THEN YOU WROTE IT IN FIC FORM. i died.

dear listener, you can also find some parallels in the lyrics of the songs. hint: track 1 and 4. and sometimes it's more in the construct of the music. hint: tracks 6 and 10. (but i think that's more cos YAY!ICELAND!MUSIC! *shrug*) this was supposed to be an EP of like, seven tracks with supah sekrit songs you could only get if you dl'd the zip file (i was feeling evil, sorry) but yeah, that never happened... my dear lovely babealicious wife daxcat79 put together the covers, again. *MWAH*




( looking for the alchemy to release meCollapse )

a mix for workerbee73's teenage makeouts fic Five Times** Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff Made Out Like Teenagers because REASONS. yes, it's really called that. yes, it's more than five times. yes, we're ignoring the fact that jon rhys meyers sings one of the tracks here. *handwaves away the crossing of the streams because reasons*

thanks again to the usual suspects. daxcat79 for her infinite patience and wonderful photoshop skills and the feedback nation of sugar_fey, hufflepuffsneak, anuna_81 and cybermathwitch, respectively. may our evil circle of evil cycle of enablers remain unbroken.




( this kind of experience is necessary for her learningCollapse )

a mix for bob5fic's Hot Mess AU History's Mistakes

may the music break your brains and hearts as much as bob did unto us with her weaving of the words and worlds. thanks to daxcat79 for the artwork and feedback along with cybermathwitch, hufflepuffsneak, anuna_81 and sugar_fey for all their input and serving as a sound board. WOMEN, YOU ROCK.



( i'd like to take you to a place i knowCollapse )
