JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING!

you weren't lmao

I know it's been a while (a month-ish?) but i made a soundtrack for you guys that I'm really proud of c:

It took me three days of winter vacation

10 hours of grueling pain and hair pulling

1984 songs

and so many feel attacks i think i? exploded?

i am writing to you as a ghost. amen

I was actually rather impartial to putting this here because I wanted to "preserve" the "sanctity" of the story.

But let's be honest; it's a goddamned fanfiction. Sanctity flew out the window 18 chapters ago. But LET ME JUST TELL YOU

HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS PLAYLIST OKAY IT IS MY HEART I POURED MY SOUL INTO THIS

It varies from cute guitar music, to british indie rock, to melancholic piano melodies that I want to wrap around me like a blanket and inhale into my lungs. It's so sexy and rad and cool and I feel like I've JUMPED INTO A LAKE OF ACID QJWGHSHAHAHABSA AHA

Rapt is so candid and honest (love is a fucking bitch) and Bloom is so sweet and passionate and full of affection. And then She's a Riot, WHICH MAKES ME WANNA REENACT FOOTLOOSE AND EXPLODE INTO A MILLION KEVIN BACON PIECES

and I Want You

Literally that song is this story's anthem

You could hand that song to someone and say, "here is a story within 4 minutes" "enjoy" OH GOD IT MADE ME CRY

You're Onto Something is so ANGRY AND STUBBORN AND BITTER AND IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY BC SHERLOCK'S PARENTS HE DOESN'T DESERVE THATS R FJEBF. IRGGH stmop this paIn

Between the Bars is so melancholic and truthful and i want to hug it because it's hard to be aN ALCOHOLIC lmao johns got a bit of a habit let's be honest k

And when i listen to Sunrise Sunset i listen to it at top volume because it's so multidimensional and complicated and fuck, man, i feel high when i listen to that shit

Another Story is so hopeful because the sun will rise, even through the rain
