I read Night world and I really like Ash and Mary-Lynnette. Here is a song fic about the time with Ash gone. It's I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me. The name doesn't fit it but the lyrics do.

Ash POV

As I was riding in my car a song came on the radio. I was all set to turn it off, but then I heard the lyrics. It made me think of Mary-Lynnette.

I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older

Mary-Lynnette. No place was home with out her. I wished she hadn't seen some of the things I'd done, but I wanted her to be with me forever.

I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends

My conscience. I was so sure I didn't have one. Then I met my M'lin. She brought out the best in me. I had arrogance down and was arrogant almost as much as I was happy.

[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

I tried so hard to cover up what I felt for her. I fed and I turned icy and my charm was set to make her my next meal. I tried to convince myself that I wasn't in love with her. I couldn't cover up my feelings though.

Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself

I let the girls brace themselves and find a safe place for themselves in Briar Creek. I sent back word that they were fine and were going to help me set up an outpost. They were greatly missed.

They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death

I've been called vicious and I have never really felt alone, but now ... I am always so alone. I never missed a chance to reminisceon my time in Briar Creek. I have written a few letters to M'lin explaining how much I miss her.
[Chorus: x2]Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you

I always meet someone old, but no one ever feels new. I can't wait til I see Mary-Lynnette again. I know everything will feel new again.

I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older

[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

I smiled to myself thinking how I could squeeze in a visit to Briar Creek in between dragon slaying.

How do you like it? I myself think it catches the essence of what Ash might be feeling in the middle of his atonement. I may do a second page, if I can find a song to go with a meeting between lovers. Ciao!

There r voices in my head
