Title: and I forgot to tell you I love you
Fandom: X-Men First Class
Subject: Charles/Erik
Notes: Made for singustosleep's June challenge: movies and black and white. I'm not usually big on movie fandoms, but Tumblr was telling me wonderful things about Charles and Erik so I miiight just have started working on this fanmix before actually watching the movie. In my defence I'm a longtime fan of the comics. So, this is huge. It's actually two mixes in one: there's Charles's side and Erik's side, each chronicling the stages of their relationship from their first meeting to the beach divorce, hinting to a possible future reconciliation. Plus an intro and an outro, bringing the total to a neat 20. Okay, so the outro is actually the song that plays on the credits, but it's a good song and I wanted to include it. They have a song called Love Love playing after a movie where the focus is on the relationship between two guys. That's so heterosexual. So yeah, I have made a mix with a song by Take That. There's also a song in French, which seems fit given all the foreign languages spoken in the movies. None of which were French, but hush. There's Mumford & Sons, Muse, Keane, A Fine Frenzy, Sarah McLachlan lending me the title and a lot of other favourites of mine. Anyway, you can listen to Charles's mix or Erik's mix or to Charles-and-Erik's mix alternating them or you can just loop Love Love all day long. You can even pick the cover you prefer, I made alternates since I don't like black and white covers much. And I'm getting rambly here, I'm sorry about that. And afternoon of listening to Fassavoy interviews can do that to a person. Ohmygod I still can't get over the fact that he said Fassavoy.

Title: A Modern Myth
Fandom: Merlin
Subject: Arthur/Merlin
Notes: Made for singustosleep's March challenge: alternate universe and negative space. This AU is based on a fic I'll probably never write, with a Queer as Folk-esque plot. Arthur is a young and successful CEO who's famous for having slept with every gay man in Manchester. Merlin is the childhood friend with an art gallery and a huge crush on Arthur. He's also the only man Arthur never slept with... that is, until one fateful night they both get too drunk at Gwen and Morgana's party and go home together and one thing leads to another. The morning after, Arthur, being Arthur, says the wrong thing and completely fucks up everything. Merlin storms out swearing he doesn't want to see Arthur ever again. But twenty years of friendship are hard to forget, and Arthur is also slowly realizing that Merlin is anything but a simple one-night stand.

Title: The Story With No Ending
Fandom: Torchwood
Subject: Jack/Ianto
Notes: Made for singustosleep's February challenge: OTP and stars. This fanmix has been in the making for months, ever since I listened to I'm Yours Tonight for the first time. I always thought Ianto is the best and funniest part of Torchwood, despite all of his angst in S1. And Jack is, well, Jack. I couldn't help falling for their unlikely but adorable love story.

Title: We Will Be Remembered
Fandom: Harry Potter
Subject: girl!trio
Notes: Made for singustosleep's December challenge: genderswap and orange.
I don't really like either, but for some reason my brain pointed out that orange = red + yellow and those are the Gryffindor colours, and then the idea of a Harry Potter AU in which everyone is female sprang fully formed in my brain. IDEK. I also discarded several nice songs because I wanted to have only female voices for this one. I like making my life more complicated than needed.
One song for each of the trio, plus songs covering their story arc in the last book. No spoilers. Unless you didn't know that good eventually defeats evil (duh).
