Final Heaven

Studying for finals means listening to music for hours and hours on end. I'm also the type of music lover who makes playlists for everything.

So, I've thrown together a few songs that evoke my oh-so-tragic muse. Some of them are cheeky, some of them in earnest, all of them by female indie rock artists.

Metric - Blindness
Neko Case - This Tornado Loves You
Stars - Window Bird
Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love
Bella - Didn't Mean To Break Our Love

You can find them individually on Youtube, or you can download the playlist here!

I recently listened to Lucas Gilbertson's awesome redubbing of that famous scene in X4. It impressed me enough to inspire my first fanwriting in two years. This short piece is my humble interpretation.

As much as I would love to hear Zero's thoughts in this scene, Iris has always been an easier muse for me.

( Fantasy )

I'm not really sure about this one, but I can be pleased with myself for trying out het, for once! (A HET IS FINE TOO, GUYS). While preparing to play Iris over at rp_elysium, I imagined several little story instances that would help flesh out her background, particularly where Zero was involved. Here's one of them.

Iris/Zero, slight sexual content.

( I wonder if it needs something? )

. . . it's hard not to love playing a dead girl on the rebound. ♥

This is set shortly before the onset of the Elf Wars, after Zero has committed his body to research.

X/Axl, mild sexual content.

( Nothing lasts forever )

Zero's reflections in the aftermath of X6.

Zero/X, kissing and angst.

( There's something I wanted to tell you )

This little piece takes place during the timeline of X5. In my imagination, X5 is about the time that our heroes begin to realize the depths of their feelings for each other, which are obviously tested by the nightmarish events of the Eurasia crisis, and their developing fear of each other.

X/Zero, mild slash, spoilers for X5.

( I cant lose you again )

Takes place before X1. Fairly canon, although I take a few licenses here and there to suit my purpose. Also, no love at first sight is meant to be implied. Ah, who am I kidding? XD

( Monster )

A troubling dream causes X to question his loyalty to the most important person in his life.

X/Zero, mild slash.

( I hate them all )
