Thanks for reading! All comments and feedback happily accepted!

Summary:

Han is a mage gifted with the powers of a gorilla. He works for the Mage Collective, a group made up of all kinds of magic-users that have banded together to maintain the balance of good and evil in the world, battling the forces of darkness that most people don't even know exist. Vampires, demons, witches, all and everything in between.

When Han gets injured by a witch during a routine night of patrol, he is saddled with a new mission: befriend Sydney, a girl who just moved into their city. Her arrival coincided with the detection of a mysterious spike in the amount of magic in the area. Han now finds himself having to go back to high school to spy on Sydney, which is the last thing he wants or needs to do. Especially when the Collective's largest threat, the evil mastermind Alec Orsini, is still at large with no leads to find or stop him.

Han quickly gets in over his head in more ways than one when he begins to discover that there's much more to Sydney than meets the eye, and she might come to mean more to him than he bargained for.

1. "Burning in the Skies" - Linkin Park

The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

2. "Skinny Love" - Bon Iver

And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

3. "Black" - Pearl Jam

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine

4. "My Enemy" - CHVRCHES

And you could be my enemy
And you could be my judge
If you could start remembering all the time that you used up
And you could be my remedy
If you could show me love
If I could stop remembering all the time that you used up

5. "No One's Gonna Love You" - Band of Horses

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or all together just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

6. "Agape" - Bear's Den

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that I don't wanna know
Who I am without you

7. "Sleeping Sickness" - City and Colour

I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
Like the sea, I'm constantly changing to calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul
As if the great divide could swallow me whole
Oh how I'm breaking down

8. "Away From You" - Silver Trees

I can't let it show if I get you in the room
Every second I wait I was waiting on you
But these are battles and words are the ammo, so make your move
Take my heart away from you

9. "Peer Pressure" - James Bay, Julia Michaels

When we met, innocent
Now I'm dead every time you're touchin' me
You're dancing around on my mind every second
I'm under control till you're in front of me
Maybe I'm scared, I don't care, I'm addicted
I'm in it

10. "High Enough to Carry You Over" - CHVRCHES

Run if you like
All of the things that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny

11. "Wait" - Broken Fences

Slow down it seems
A reassuring dream
I will let you hold on to me
Always knowing what it means

12. "Leaving My Love Behind" - Lewis Capaldi

So I was just wondering
Could you tell me is it all a waste of time?
Are you leaving my love behind?
Baby, say the word and let me know
You gotta give me something
I swear that I won't try to change your mind

13. "Love Like That" - Lauv

You say I spend too much time
In my head and it haunts me back
I think you spend too much time
Giving me second chances that
I don't deserve
And it hurts

14. "Vienna" - The Fray

There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone

15. "Your Evil Soul" - The Spill Canvas

I will suck the elixir from your fingertips
Until I feel my head start caving in
My mouth will overflow with your evil soul
And I'll be convulsing for days in this hole
