AN: So I know some people include lyrics with each chapter of their stories, instead of that I used the quotes from the books but I still thought 'why not, I'll give you guys the playlist I used when writing scenes between Aurora and Millard.' These vary in genre since some songs motivated sweet fluffy moments and others were during more serious times when they were running for their lives or after Aurora was separated from Millard and everything looked bleak and pointless.
I also included some of the lyrics that really made me go 'Oh that definitely represents Aurora and Millard' I won't say 'Oh go listen to these songs' cuz I won't tell you all what to do but I think once you listen to these songs with Aurora and Millard in mind it's hard to not think of them the next time you hear the song.
As always I'd love to hear all your thoughts both good and bad so let me know below, do you think these songs are good representations of Aurora and Millard? Are there any songs you'd add to this list? Etc. . .
