god the power of “songs you associate too much to one chara to listen to it in any other context”, i’m listening to a character playlist i made a while ago (don’t want to say for what), but some of those songs of this playlist are song i associate so much with Alma that suddenly i become super unwell and replay the full Alma arc in my head again and forget WHY this song was in this non-Alma playlist And now i’m just there feeling emo about Alma, i can’t keep living like this, can i go like, one year without suddenly thinking back about Alma and wanting to cry. It’s been 14 years for fuck’s sake.

“Someone give Prince Hashem a comb and some hair products, oh and possibly a link to a playlist on how to be/dress presentable and how to comb your hair. He's not an infant anymore it's not cute how messy his hair is, especially during official events or individual/family pictures (DGMS on the family ones, he's the only one who looks unkempt, it's embarrassing). You're a Prince FGS you can afford a comb. Just became you won't rule doesn't mean you should slack off in appearance or presentation.” - Dubmitted by Anonymous

hi yes hello it's me again. so I'm working on my dream of the endless™~ playlist.. and I was looking through this BROODS album that I liked a lot and... just. just look at this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
uugghh Dream just being so overwhelmed after everything and going to Hob.. and Hob's just. Over the moon that Dream feels safe enough with him for comfort.. the bridge is especially destroying me cause like - of course Dream would beat himself up abt needing comfort in the first place and he can't stop thinking abt all that needs to be done and- AAHHH Hob just gently pulling him out of all that, if just for a moment...
I love fics with this premise and now I have a SONG to go with them???? I'm in shambles.
here's the song btw :
BROODS - Bedroom Door

My #1 post of 2022
It appears the last two (2)….times I’ve tried creating this post, tumblr thought I was too wordy, so I’m going to attempt to get in and get out before it eats itself again
this playlist (a Dream of the Endless™ character examination via my silly brain and sad ass music) took me entirely too long and I'm going to throw my laptop out of the window if I have to look at it any longer so pls pls take it and I hope that if you listen or even read the lyrics that you find something new, or hear something you like.
This absolutely would not have ever seen the light of tunglr.hell if not for the beautiful souls of the Sandman fandom, and a few of my new friends and mutuals. So special internet cookies and hugs to these inspirational, encouraging, and beyond talented individuals; @wordsinhaled , @weirdfishy , @wizardofgoodfortune , and @xx-vergil-xx - i love y'all dearly and I hope this is even HALF of what you would have expected, or a quarter of the amazing content y'all have bestowed upon my lil eyeballs. Now Onward! to words that personally injure me!
Florence + The Machine -Too Much Is Never Enough
And the crown, it weighs heavy
'Til it's banging on my eyelids
Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
~I first encountered this song in it's source material FFXV, and there it destroyed me. Now, wearing my dumb lil blorbo glasses yet again, it is back with vengeance..goth royalty sad wet cat flavored (gross), vengeance. "too much is never enough" .... oh sweeties...
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldn't say "I need more time"
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life
VIRA - God Complex
God, I could try
To be the one
To be the one
I'll tear down the sky
What do you want?
I'll do it all for life
My love, my alibi
Tonight, tonight
I'll try to do it for you
~pretty sure this is the angriest sounding song on this thing? but it is fitting.. and desperate.. and wanting and... painful. when she grits out 'try' and 'sky' the way she does.. god the emotion. this just brought to mind Dream and falling for someone hard enough to the point of destructive devotion...
I'm gonna be where you are
Doesn't matter how far
Because we are meant to be
I'm gonna be what you need
Darling, please worship me
Unless you prefer to plead
AJJ - Body Terror Song
~ I love seeing people explore the idea of Dream just...not vibing with being fully corporeal. At least not in the way he is while in the Waking.. what a mood, and especially after the fishbowl...whew.
It will betray you
Be used against you
Then it will fail on you, my dear
But before that, you'll be a doormat
For every vicious narcissist in the world
Oh, how they'll screw you all up and over
Then feed you silence for dessert
Philip Wesley - Lamentations of the Heart
[Instrumental~]
~I wanted to include a few instrumental tracks in here and this one felt apt because I used to fall asleep to this album all the time. Like it was one of the only ones I could fall asleep to with any certainty. The feeling and title for this one tho struck me with Dream specifically so I went with it. The rest of the album is so nice though, highly rec.
Iris Lune - Paper Mache
~ this song!! it sounds so so ethereal and her voice is GORGEOUS but the lyrics!! have mercy the lyrics! big ole owwie! "save me from myself" , "make me believe that I can change, make me believe that I'm not strange" hhhh (also if y'all couldn't tell, this will be dreamling flavored, I think I'll tag them too jic but. yes...)
Save me from myself
I've been in the dark too long
Paper mache love
Make me believe that I can change
Make me believe that I'm not strange
At all
Penny and Sparrow - A Kind of Hunger
tremble, recognize the distance
Go try and murder every preference
I’ll keep hangin' ‘round for reference
come care about me
come care about me
~this is... such a heavy song. hadn't heard it before starting this playlist but found it and immediately had to add it.. just. come care about me. changing, watching you with wonder. Dying is just a kind of hunger. that line specifically. -lays on the floor for 3hrs-
changing, watching you with wonder
you’re less and getting even younger
dying is just a kind of hunger
come care about Me
come care about Me
Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimme Love
~originally was gonna be a joke song to lighten the mood but haha! nope! I mean it is lighthearted but it still absolutely, in my mind, fits Morpheus. beautiful babygirl of the endless...smooch
Gimmie love (Oh)
It's the way we are together (Oh)
Wanna feel like this forever, forever (Oh)
It's the way we are together
And I never thought I'd ever say forever
Jon Bellion - Stupid Deep (Acoustic)
~this song fucks me up! 😀 for real though, I highly suggest watching the acoustic performance of this that he has on youtube cause the vibe is so.. intimate and dreamy and gorgeous.. and the lyrics.. jon bellion, sir.. smh.. the ending..
What if who I hoped to be was always me?
And the love I fought to feel was always free?
What if all the things I've done
Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah
'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, oh, stupid deep

Heyo! I hope u are doing well💕 I’m back again with another song! I’ve been thinking of Yullen a lot (thanks to your fic) so it now mixes with most of the songs I listen to XD. What do u think of This is Home by Cavetown as a yullen song? The line “turn off your porcelain face” makes me think of Kanda asking Allen to take off his masks. (The song in the video I’m linking begins at the 0:34 time stamp btw)
https://youtu.be/75g1G4O5fco
Hi! Thanks im doing great! Hope you're doing well too! 😊😊
YOU'RE RIGHT AGAIN THAT IS A YULLEN SONG! And I love it! I can definitely read this song as Kanda speaking or thinking of Allen and ah its such a pining mood wow!
I am making a yullen/let me stay by your side Playlist but it only has 4 songs so far so its not ready to share yet...

Playlist Shuffle Tag!
tagged by @kitty-bandit, thank you!
Put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, no skipping! Music can say so many things about us. Sometimes I use shuffle as an oracle for my day, or to get a hint of what the Universe has in store for me. Most times it’s more mundane, of course. Like writing fanfic. :3
1. NieR: Automata OST ‘Birth of a Wish’ (All Versions)
2. NieR: Automata OST - City Ruins - Rays of Light
3. Two Steps from Hell - Unbreakable (feat. Merethe Solvedt)
4. Two Steps from Hell - Star Sky (jfc nooooo, my Kanda/Alma song *ugly sobbing*)
5. Woodkid - Falling
6. Lauren Aquilina - King
7. Two Steps from Hell - Dragon (feat. Uyanga Bold)
8. Two Steps from Hell - Flight of the Silverbird (love, LOVE writing fic to this song. Whatever your fic idea is, this song says Write It!)
9. Woodkid - Iron (fcuking epic song. Just ask Ubisoft and their trailer for Assassins Creed: Revelations)
10. NieR: Automata OST - City Ruins (a different version from #2)
if you’re reading this, consider yourself tagged and feel free to do or not do. <3

Check out this playlist on @8tracks: Lavi Bookman (Lyrical Songs) by AlexStriker47.
-Quickly and nervously throws this in the tags and runs away- Hope you enjoy and it’s not too painful!
First of all, sorry for the bad grammar and run on sentences that may pop up. Second of all, this is the very first playlist I ever put together, ‘criticism’ is welcomed. Hate, especially on the song or band because ‘insert problematic thing band has done’ is not welcomed. I focused on lyrics and the feel of the song. I know my song choices are probably not the same as what you would’ve chosen for Lavi and that’s okay. This is just sort of what I feel is Lavi. If that makes sense.
This sort of ties both to canon!Lavi and my ModernAU!Lavi which is why some songs may feel a bit ooc. Some parts of this playlist may point to possible ships. My intention was to leave this completely ambiguous for all ships (or at least try to, now that I think of it there are a helluva lot pointing towards Allen. Oopsie. Sorry. Blame it on the fact they’re my BROTP I guess). This is Lavi’s playlist in which it is lyric heavy (I have another one coming up that is not lyric heavy and is more nature/introspective/ambient.) Under the cut are the songs I have used, why I have used them, why I have placed them the way I did, as well as some Lavi musings/quotes/ song lyrics (musings will be heavier in my second playlist, not so much in this one. This one is heavy on the quotes and lyrics. Sorry. Next one will be a lot more creative; I promise).
With that, I hope you enjoy. Special thank you to all the 8tracks playlists I listened to. They helped me get a feel for him a lot better. Some songs are included from other playlists. Special thanks to 7hereticprinciples for their input as well. Included is the 8tracks link. If you’d wish for access to my youtube playlist, please send me an ask or pm me.
For the most part this playlist was a bit difficult to place songs with. My game plan was to set songs that were faster and more upbeat together. I wanted to do the same with the slower songs as well. However, I also wanted to have some sort of flow going. The beginning of the playlist is supposed to be centered on Lavi’s thoughts and his ‘being’ for the lack of a better term. Later on, in the playlist it’s supposed to show him struggling to maintain distance as he begins to form bonds with the people he’s supposed observe.
I know the songs themselves may seem very back and forth at times, but I think that’s a good way to show his internal struggle. I also know some songs seem to draw out, for instance I have three songs dealing with love (not feeling, not being able to reciprocate, etc). For that I am sorry. I just didn’t know where else to place them and it felt like this was the best fit. As for the two last songs I added, one is to provide the idea that no matter how hard Lavi tries he will always be ‘human’ he will have to continually fight it. The last song is to represent hope (Von is the Icelandic word for hope), whether it be for the war’s end, Allen’s and the other exorcist’s survival, or humanity’s overall survival.
Oshakashama (Translated as Buddah)- Radwimps
I chose this song specifically because I thought the lyrics fit Lavi’s thought processes towards humans quite well. It really takes on the outlook of how stupid humanity can be and how irrational our actions are. The lyrics are very detached sounding. If we are being real, a lot of exorcists go through doubting God and I’m certain Lavi would more than likely do the same. Since the song is in Japanese, I provided the link to the english lyrics.
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/oshakashama-%E3%81%8A%E3%81%97%E3%82%83%E3%81%8B%E3%81%97%E3%82%83%E3%81%BE-buddha.html
Wolf- Now Now
“Why Lavi? You’re Lavi number 49. You’re supposed to be just like me. Why aren’t you like the other 48 Lavis? Why are you different? Why are you having so much trouble number 49? Well…? Shall we take a different number? Don’t you want to be a bookman anymore!? Can you take it number 49…Lavi Bookman? Can you take it? Or do you have to be destroyed? You’re changing…you have to get out of here…”
Iron- Woodkid
“War is sorrowful. The flames of war burned away life and dreams and bonds, leaving behind countless sorrows. So sorrow gives birth to tragedy. And tragedy gives birth to Akuma. Lavi is my 49th name. That’s how many battles I’ve seen. Why are human beings always fighting wars…?” -Lavi Bookman
Renegade- Paramore
Renegade- a person who deserts and betrays an organization, country, or set of principles.
Devit: What? Is he from the tribe of the Bookman? They’re working for your side now, eh?
Komui: Welcome to the black order.
Try not to make waves. I know we’re going to be here for awhile…
Realty- Lost Frequencies
Special thank you to 7hermiticprinciples for this suggestion! This feels very much like Lavi and I think it depicts the life of a traveler/Bookman/wanderer perfectly. Especially when you’ve already detached yourself from the meddling of humans. I’d think it would be very freeing.
Who Are You Really- Mikky Ekko
“In time I no longer knew whether my smile was genuine or an act.” Lavi Bookman.
Who exactly am I? Am I still a Bookman? Or not? Should I stay as Lavi or create number 50? Am I Lavi? I am not like the other 48 Lavis. Why? Why am I different? The old man’s words became harder to remember…
Not in Love- Crystal Castles
(This one was a bit of a weird choice for Lavi and I almost thought about not including it, but the force was strong with this one. My Lavi muse would not let me budge.) “I won’t give you my heart. No one lives there anymore…I’m not in love…I’m not in love….I’m not in love…I have no need for feelings….”
Love, Love, Love- Of Monsters And Men
“Well maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away. Yeah, maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it. Yeah maybe I’m a bad, bad, bad person. Well baby I know.” “Cause you love, love, love, when you know I can’t love. You love, love, love when you know I can’t love. You love, love, love when you know I can’t love you.”
Heart of Stone-Iko
I feel like this song would be one of the other D Gray Man characters towards Lavi. Definitely an OTP song.
“When you’re here with me. You’re not here with me. I just can’t forget you and your heart of stone.”
Hurt- Johnny Cash
“I never thought of you people as my friends, I’m the next Bookman and that’s all I am.” -Lavi Bookman
“I will let you down. I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar’s chair. Full of broken thoughts I can’t repair.”
Breath of Life- Florence and The Machine
“I was looking for a breath of life. A little touch of heavenly light, but all the choirs in my head sang no….Whose side am I on, whose side am I? Whose side am I on, whose side am I?”
Numbers- Daughter
“I feel numb. I feel numb in this kingdom. I feel numb. I feel numb in this kingdom. I feel numb. I feel numb in this kingdom. I feel numb. I feel numb in this kingdom.”
Message To Bears- Mountains
I added this song because it just feels so…wandery. It makes me feel like something I’d listen to walking down my gravel road to nowhere, aimlessly. I sort of imagine Lavi wanting to run away sometimes from being a Bookman in this song (even if he is proud to be one and wants to be one). Maybe he’d take his special someone with him? I hope so.
Human- Daughter
A Bookman must always struggle with his heart. His human side. You may have won this time Bookman Junior, but how long can you struggle with the human deep inside of you?
Von- Yoko Kanno ft. Arnor Dan
A song from a cold place. A song of hope. This is an Icelandic song that is a personal favorite of mine from the anime Terror in Resonance. I couldn’t resist adding it because while the song is chilling, the lyrics speak of hope (von). Hope for humanity’s survival.
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/von-hope.html
I didn’t expect to have this done so soon haha. I hope you all enjoyed it. My second Lavi playlist will take a bit longer and the descriptions are going to be longer since I want to try and make a story (centric around nature if possible) around each song. So far, it’s reaching up to 16 tracks. If it goes above 20, I will split it and create a third, especially if the second one I have planned gets popular. Please check out all the bands and support them. Also watch Terror in Resonance. It is truly a beautiful anime, one of the best I have seen. Thank you very much.

Playlist for EiG
It has been exactly a year since I first interacted with the wonderful @faeriexqueen. So here is a little something to celebrate our one year anniversary!
You are such a wonderful person and have been with me through so much. It’s only been a year but my life changed drastically and you’ve been a shoulder I could cry on many times. But the moments I remember the most are the happy ones. I have been very fortunate to meet you and love you to bits! 
I’ve made a playlist of the emotions I’ve felt reading each chapter of Encompassed in Glass, an incredible Yulma fanfiction that I FINALLY finished! There will be some spoilers. (I am eagerly waiting for your Lucky head canons from this AU as well!)
Tumblr media
Chapter 1: Prologue: Seed of Desire - Crazy in love Remix by Beyoncé
I chose this song because it holds a classy darkness that matches the epilogue perfectly: the tense meeting between the noble families and Tricia’s mental journey which ends with her caving. Faerie has really put an immense amount of effort to depict Tricia as a grieving complex woman and I think this remix does her justice! 
Chapter 2: A Light in the Darkness - Main Title: Prologue from Beauty and the Beast (2017)
This song perfectly conveys what I felt when I read the first part of the chapter with Suman wading through murky waters to get to the innocence flower (like the magical rose in BatB). If the scene was to be recreated in a melody, it would be this epilogue. It has this magical, suspenseful and hopeful quality that really permeated this chapter!
Chapter 3: A Voice from Within - Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars 
This is because Alma starts hearing that voice in this chapter. He inexplicably (or not) gravitates towards his innocence which is reminiscent of the painful longing in canon with Yulma’s past selves. So even if it’s not necessarily melancholic in EiG, I loved the parallel to canon so I thought of this song because of the longing in both canon and this chapter! 
Chapter 4: The Visitors - Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid 
I’m such a sap for Lavi and Bookman’s dynamic so this is for them! I LOVED their exchange in this chapter. I have chosen this song because it is very fun and goofy but also carries a deeper message (vegetarianism and even cannibalism in a sense) and it resonated with the Bookmen’s relationship. They are a comic duo 95% but have a chilling purpose. So I found Under the sea to be an adequate(ish) match for their complexity! (I’m still not a 100% on board so if you have a better suggestion, please tell me)
Chapter 5: A Fragile Synchronicity - Runnin’ (Lose it all) by Beyoncé & Naughty Boy
I felt that this chapter was very much about Alma struggling with his innocence until he realises they are one and the same. So he stops running and is able to synchronise and become and accommodator. This song starts with an agitated tone and settles into a strong message of being true and accept yourself, hence why it was chosen! 
Chapter 6: Disquietment Afterwards - Once upon a Dream remix from Maleficient
So much happens in this chapter and I chose to focus on Tricia’s flashback with Victor. The memory itself is sweet and romantic (Victor is too sweet) but Tricia comes back to reality and it stings. This remix is the perfect mix of sweet lyrics and a haunted arrangement, which symbolises her pain and sorrow. 
Chapter 7: Night of the Autumn Ball -  People by Barbra Streisand 
During the ball Alma is surrounded by people but he is lonely in the sense that he has no close friendships (hence him being quite excited by Lavi’s arrival) and now he is infinitely more ostracised as a royal exorcist. Since the first chapters, we see how Alma tries to avoid conflict, especially with Sheril, and wants to get along with everyone. Alma’s loneliness was accentuated by him reminiscing about Victor and how close they were, which harshly clashed with the state of his current relationships. This song showcases Alma’s need and happiness found in others. 
Chapter 8: Before the Fall - I remember from The Little Mermaid 3 
The song is about better times when the Queen of Atlantica before things fell apart. There was a sense nostalgia with Alma looking forward to apple picking like in the old times and Suman thinking about the perks of being an exorcist like giving Jaimie better health care. Then everything goes to hell in a hand basket. So the song is dedicated to the happier times that the characters reminisce about AKA the calm before the storm!
Chapter 9: The Hunter and the Stag - Crying Crying Crying by Ali 
This song is played in a drama about mother-daughter relationship (and betrayals), which I thought worked quite well with this chapter. We see Suman trying to fight the lifelong relationship he has built with Alma as a parent figure. Hell, I see him as more of a father to Alma than Sheril. The disbelief and grief going through Alma when he point that arm at him just... this song fits, especially when you’ve seen the drama. 
(This chapter is a MESS but I know things will look up eventually!) 
Chapter 10: In the Woods - The Plagues from The Prince of Egypt 
I chose this song more for the visual aspect. Alma is chased from his home into the woods which is consumed by darkness. The situation looks even more hopeless with the hoard of Akuma that find him. The song is about being hounded by misfortune (mainly the plagues) and having to leave your people, which I found quite fitting for this chapter! Dgm’s imagery and plot line is closely linked to Christianity so the song works even better, 
Chapter 11: The Men in the House - Somebody’s got your back from Aladdin the musical 
This song definitely does not suit the tone of this chapter which has more of a homely and relieved feel with Alma finding refuge with Team Tiedoll to it whereas the song is just exuberant. But this song makes me smile so much and the message matches the chapter perfectly! This was more indulging in fun songs than one that reflects the scenes. 
Chapter 12: The Other Exorcists - One of Us from The Lion King 2
This song is for Kanda’s hatred towards royals and his immediate rejections towards Alma. I am quite proud of the song choice because it really works with Kanda wanting to banish Alma from his home and the lyrics “Someone once lied to us/ Now we're not so blind” which makes sense with Kanda’s past experience with royalty. So this one was more to explore Kanda’s initial feelings towards Alma which are not friendly, at all. 
Chapter 13: Entanglement, Entrapment - This Is My Idea from The Swan Princess
I loved hostility between Alma and Kanda (mostly from Kanda). As a Yulma shipper, I have always loved how their relationship began in canon and every AU imaginable with them fighting, though it is definitely more serious in this fic. The song does not match with the chapter but it was mainly for the hostility /bickering (even though Kanda loathes Alma first in EiG) and I also remember Faerie recommending this song for Yulma a while ago!
Chapter 14: The Aftermath - Bring him home from Les Misérables
It is a short passage but Tricia’s emotional journey into accepting her son’s loss stood out for me. The way she hopes that something will be different when she opens broke my heart and there is something so devastating when a mother looses her son. This is from a man’s point of view but it conveys Tricia’s desperation quite well. She internally begged her son to be there, which is quite similar to the whole premise of the song with Jean Valjean.
Chapter 15: Lullabies of Lavender - Meant to be from Anastasia the Musical
I know the chapter is mostly from Alma’s point of view but I tried imagining Kanda’s thought process when picking out the lavender (I SCREAMED when he did) and imagined him being at peace when he thought of this kind gesture for Alma. The song is definitely for the more mature character who understands himself, which is not quite Kanda at this stage. But the song is so peaceful and relaxing  (especially the instrumental bits) which was the whole purpose of Kanda’s gesture towards Alma. It is also a nice change of pace after Alma’s breakdown. 
Chapter 16: Remnants Intertwined - Save the Hero by Beyoncé
One of my favourite things from this chapter is Lulubell’s analysis of Klaud. The way she sees Klaud as a proud and dutiful woman whose swarmed with exhaustion. But Lulubell is reluctantly (or not) impressed by her strength and tenacity. There’s something so powerful in a woman respecting another woman. This passage is really striking and I need more female interactions. This song shows the duality of Klaud who is an exhausted hero on a one woman job. It encapsulates the complexity of a woman ready to save the world.
Chapter 17: Night of Terror - Take me to Church by Hozier 
This song is dedicated to Road’s character and Alma’s mental torture. There is something obscene about Road and how she can mentally manipulate people, both in canon and this chapter. This song is less about a relationship with someone but emotional heaviness and how the Noah are linked to Christianity but represent something insane and unholy. It sums up how Alma looses himself in the Noah’s powers and is almost broken.
Chapter 18: Shards of Broken Glass - Dusk till Dawn by Zayn and Sia 
This is for Alma calming down and Kanda being there for him. Hell Alma even goes “For the first time that morning, Alma felt comforted. And when he thought of Kanda, the comfort remained”. Kanda kept him company through the night and his presence reassure Alma, which works with the lyrics “But you'll never be alone/ I'll be with you from dusk till dawn”. The chorus is a bit too lively but the lyrics match the scene. 
Chapter 19: The Ripples Beneath - Don’t Speak by No Doubt
I know that Suman does not speak anyways so this song does not make sense. But I wanted to focus his helplessness and the overall situation where Klaud does not want to believe that he did it. But she still feels disappointed (”Klaud felt something break inside, and for a shattering moment disappointment flashed in her eyes as she looked at Suman regretfully.”) when he does not speak to deny the accusations. I chose this song more in the sense that Klaud does not want Suman to say that he was involved in Alma’s assassination.
Chapter 20: A Glimpse in the Well - Sakura Kiss from High School Host Club
I am sorry but Alma’s heart palpitations were the highlight for me!!! He is so confused and awkward and.... he just reminded me of Haruhi from High School Host Club, hence the song choice AKA the anime opening. Alma and Haruhi both think they are ill/ something is wrong with them when they start having feelings. Alma even goes “Alma’s own feelings to jumble more, as his thoughts twisted together into something incoherent”  so I chose the intro song not so much because of the melody (though the lyrics somewhat work) but because of Haruhi. (I am still bitter Faerie, you let me in Yulma heaven for less than 10min) 
Chapter 21: Twisted Heart, Suffering Heart - Flaws and all by Beyonce 
Gosh this chapter made me go from stressed to soft with Yulma kissing. I, of course, chose a song for that scene that was so well written. Alma’s selflessness shone through with him not being scared/wary of Kanda but more concerned about Kanda’s well-being while Kanda was petrified by Alma pulling away from it. They ended up accepting each other regardless of all their insecurities which is why I chose this song which is really about finding solace in one other (I mean “But holding each other quietly, and for a moment both finding solace”)  acknowledging the other’s flaws. 
Chapter 22: When Dusk Falls - Too Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith 
... why, WHY FAERIE. Here I was ready to see the world through rose-tinted glasses but Kanda goes on and lies to Alma about not caring for him. Even though the chapter started with them cuddling, the prelude to Kanda’s lies was very easy to follow and very much in character. Kanda is a self-sacrificing fool and he wants what is best for Alma hence the timeless trope of the character pretending to no love the other to pieces. The song is about breaking up to protect your own heart which is the clear opposite of this chapter but I though that if you changed that bit, it fit quite well!
Chapter 23: Poisoned Heart - Trust in me (The Python’s song) from the Jungle Book 
The process of dodgy Kanda luring Alma out in the woods reminded me of the scene in the Jungle Book with Kaa hypnotising Mowgli. Both villains want the hero’s demise and the song is about the hero “sleeping” with “Shut your eyes and trust in me/You can sleep safe and sound” from the song and the whole Snow white imagery in EiC with Alma eating the apple (and falling into slumber). The song has a poisonous/macabre edge to it which is the vibe fake Kanda gave.
Chapter 24: A Deep Sleep - If I Die Young (Glee Cast version) 
This chapter messed me up. Alma dying and seeing Kanda struggle with his loss was very emotional. He felt so guilty for his last words to Alma be lies and Alma taking these lies to his grave. I knew that the AU would ha happy ending (courtesy of Faerie reassuring me many times) but Kanda’s realisation that Alma was gone was still hard to take. The song is oddly peaceful but the lyrics are what I focused on. There is a lot of nature imagery which echoes the lotus imagery in the chapter. “Sink me in the river at dawn” (from the song) really reminded me of ““Lotuses are always fated to sink back into the mud…” A voice repeated – this time, one that sounded eerily like Road.” It is not a hopeful message but more of a death sentence. 
Chapter 25: The Lotus That Rises - Keep Holding on by Avril Lavigne 
This for the whole troupe (partly) travelling with Alma back. It warmed my heart that Kanda decided to accompany Alma, especially when he was the prime fugitive and framed for murder. But Alma’s near death experience seems to have really opened Kanda’s eyes and he seemed to have finally made peace with his past. Kanda surprisingly seemed like the most optimistic character in this chapter because he promised himself that Alma will stay safe, even at his own detriment. So this song is about hoping and making it though! 
Chapter 26: A Broken Defense - The Host of the Eldar/ The Battle of Hornburg  from Lord of the Rings 
This chapter is so tense and very focused on breaching the castle without being discovered by people other than Klaud and Tricia. I felt that it was a stealth mission and an instrumental is more suited than a song. I am redacting the Lord of the Rings trilogy and chose one of its soundtrack! This chapter kind of reminds me of the battle of Helm’s deep (minus the crushing hopelessness from the film) in the sense of it the ramp up to the climax which will probably be a battle with the Noah. The soundtrack is when the elves showed up to support the people of Rohan at the fortress AKA when there is a bit of hope left, like its this chapter! But honestly, almost any soundtrack from LortR would work here. 
Chapter 27: The Fallen Siege - Who you are from Jessie J 
This is a mess of a chapter but what stood out to me was Alma standing up to Sheril which was so different from pre-Team Tiedoll Alma. He has really grown into his own and found his footing and himself. He is no longer tiptoeing around his royal life but is fully invested into doing what is right and no longer pleasing everyone (to be fair, he initially did not know the full story). So I chose a song about struggle and accepting your true self. 
Chapter 28: Gift of Grace - Two Worlds from Tarzan 
I loved Alma’s two worlds colliding harmoniously with Kanda (hopefully) being pardoned and Team Tiedoll no longer being fugitives. I chose the song very much for these two sides of Alma coming together and him finally returning home and yet not having to loose his new family. Tricia’s relief in seeing Alma can also be found in the lyrics “No words describe a mother's tears/ No words can heal a broken heart/ A dream is gone, but where there's hope “ even though Kala looses her baby.
Chapter 29: Epilogue: Seed of Hope - Lucky by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat
I am now wearing my rose-tinted glasses and can only focus on Yulma’s soft (last) interaction. It was such a sweet moment and I thought this song was perfect, both for Yulma’s relationship and for the whole epilogue. I really think Kanda is now one of Alma’s best friend and what is better than falling for your closest friend?
Extras:
These Palace Walls from the Aladdin musical
Let me by Zayn (maybe for Entangled in Your Arms AKA a wonderfully soft oneshot)
