“Still Here Breathing”: Preview and Hypothetical Soundtrack.
So I said in previous posts that I am planning a crossover fic between Jennifer’s Body, Ginger Snaps and The Craft.
It’s working title is Still Here Breathing.
The story is going to be set in the same world as one of my crossover WIP’s Love’s Sacrifices (Carmilla: The Series/Pitch Perfect) and Mission to Silas (Ginger Snaps/The Craft/Carmilla: The Series/D.E.B.S); the latter is going to be a direct prequel to this fic.
While I’m far from actually writing down Still Here Breathing, I decided to write a hypothetical soundtrack for the story. Just something I tried experimenting with. I’d also give some tidbits for the story, and while this risks spoiling Mission to Silas, these spoilers are a Foregone Conclusion anyways (it is a prequel after all)
Tidbits.
1. The only thing I can guarantee from Mission to Silas is the survival of Brigitte, Sarah, Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle. While I can’t spoil what happens to either the D.E.B.S or Lucy Diamond, I wouldn’t expect any of them to show up and lend a hand in the sequel.
Though I can see it being helluva story Brigitte and the Coven girls tell their friends.
2. Still Here Breathing is set to start weeks, if not months following the end of Jennifer’s Body (probably early 2010). As such, Needy will start off as a Hero With Bad Publicity with a Fugitive Arc.
To add insult to injury, Low Shoulder (or at the very least, Nikolai Wolf) is gonna be resurrected as incubi due to Needy bungling their murder. Not only are he/they antagonists, he/they remain Villains With Good Publicity for much of the story.
The commentary of Nikolai Wolf/Low Shoulder being predatory celebrities preying on their fans is also taken up to eleven.
3. Both Jennifer and Ginger are gonna alive in this story; how I am currently keeping under wraps.
I’m also planning on making Jennifer x Ginger a thing. One of the reasons I’m writing this story is to hook them up. Thinking of giving them an Enemies/Rivals to Lovers angle; think the lovechild of Jori (with Ginger as Jade) and Lumity (with Jennifer as Amity) and that should paint enough of a picture.
4. Megan Fox claimed she played Jennifer as a deeply closeted lesbian, so that's how I'd write her, with her dates/flings with boy being performative comphet. Expect much of Jennifer being a Gay Disaster, not being as confident with her sexuality as she’s letting on.
If you are remotely familiar with season one era Amity Blight, you will have a good idea of what Jennifer brings to the table.
5. All the expectant angst.
Especially with both Jennifer and Needy (while Jennifer x Ginger is a thing, Needifer is also one of the primary pairings of the story).
There’s also the expectant angst with the Fitzgerald sisters, but in a strictly sisterly subtext. There are some Ginger Snaps fans who try to put a incestous WLW spin on Ginger and Brigitte...I’m not one of those fans.
All these years being into Ginger Snaps (over a decade now) the only character is seriously shipped Brigitte with was Sam; as of Mission to Silas, I have also crossover paired her with Sarah and Nancy; along with AgentDiamond they’re the OT3 of the prequel
6. Speaking of Sarah and Nancy, this is another forgone conclusion “spoiler” from Mission to Silas - it’s in the stories fucking tags - those two are gonna be raising a kid. Along with Aunts Bonnie and Rochelle.
The kid in question is an alt version of Lily Schechner from The Craft: Legacy, with several alternations to her character; mainly that rather than be conceived by Nancy being r*ped, as per Zoe Lister Jones’ statement, she would be the magically conceived biological daughter to Sarah and Nancy.
Seeing as she’s six at the time of the fic, other changes are to be expected, this being a different stage of Lily’s life. One thing I see her being so far, is a younger fan of Low Shoulder (to the absolute chagrin of her mothers and aunts).
Also, while Brigitte does hook up with Sarah and Nancy in Mission to Silas, I’m not sure they’d still be a thing at the time of Still Here Breathing. That said, I do see them still being close enough that Lily greets Brigitte as “Aunty B”, and Brigitte greets her as “Little Bean”.

Random Lumity kids facts #1
They all have middle names of people important to Luz and Amity.
Hecate is a rainbow baby. It's why there's such a big age gap between them and the older 2.
Azura is the strongest raw magic wise, but Hecate has the most stable magic.
If other human-witch hybrids are 50/50, Hecate is more 65/35 leaning towards witch. Which gives her more Amity's appearance and a more average size bile sac.
Hecate is selective mute, she just dosen't see a reason to talk even tho they can just fine.
The twins were oopsie babies. Amity didn't really want to have more kids after Hecate, but couldn't bring herself to terminate. Luz was very happy and supportive, cuz she always wanted a big family.
Thalia is only a few weeks younger than Azura so they were pretty much raised as twins. And since Thalia is a shapeshifter they can mess with people by shifting into Azura.
I can and will go into further detail if anyone has questions. Just leave them in the notes or my ask box and I'll make a second post.

Amity stands next to the window of her bedroom, looking out at the night sky. Her baby daughter cradled to her chest, as silent tears fall down her cheeks.
“When will you be back?” She whispers into the night, kissing the witchling’s head. “I have someone here who would love to meet you.”
She sniffles quietly, before turning away and heading back to bed. Now that the baby was asleep, she was alone again in this big house that she and her wife had bought to raise their family in together. But she wasn’t here, and Amity was left alone with her thoughts in the heavy silence.
Scene from the same angstier future AU as "Way back home" on AO3
