Hello! This is Alder3049, who did NOT write the summary for this story. Please keep that in mind.
This is how our songfic collaboration will hopefully work: Cress and I have each chosen 6 songs from the album 1000 Forms of Fear by Sia (I suggest listening to the album before reading these.) Over the next while, we'll each write a song on BOTH profiles, so it doesn't matter whose version you're seeing. And...that's pretty much it. There will be stories about everyone.
Cress: Chandelier: Biana is struggling with life in the gold tower. Keefe has left her, and now she's done something that will bring shame to the morning light.
Cress: Big Girls Cry: Biana has experienced something, and now she's all alone. Tears in her eyes, Biana confronts the person who ruined her life and her loves.
Alder: Burn the Pages: Tam always cuts himself off from the rest of his friends. He always has. And only Linh knows why.
Cress: Eye of the Needle: Sophie and Fitz. Cognates, always. Through everything, they can go together. But Sophie has always had one secret that she can't bear to share. Just one secret.
Alder: Hostage: Keefe has always just assumed that deep down, his parents loved him. Assumed, hoped, dreamed. He's never really known. But now...if he comes back, will they really love him? Or will he just be held hostage?
Alder: Straight For The Knife: Brant has always scared Jolie just a little bit. And on May 19th...when she unveils a secret, he doesn't take it as a blessing, but as a curse.
Alder: Fair Game: I'm not quite sure how this is going to go yet. I do know that it'll be in the future and Sophitz. If you've heard the song and have ideas, please comment them.
Cress: Elastic Heart: Sophie Foster has always been thought of brave, Facing the Neverseen, losing her parents and making a whole new life for herself, she's never been someone weak. Sometimes she wants to be, though. She wants to be someone who can just run and hide.
Alder: Free the Animal: Mr and Mrs Song were perfectly respectable up until that night. That night, where, in the misty chill of midnight, mistakes were made and secrets were shared. And Tam and Linh...Tam and Linh are just part of the aftershock. Rubble from the past that needs to be cleared away.
Cress: Fire Meet Gasoline: Kenric and Oralie, council members, true love. Forbidden love. Sometimes, love is dangerous, and they know. That doesn't ever stop them, until one fateful night.
Cress: Cellophane: When Fitz shut himself off from Sophie, he banished a possibility. She never knew this, but he did. If he could have been a better elf then, things would have been different.
Alder: Dressed in Black: Keefe has finally come back from the Neverseen, amid war, chaos, and switching sides. Sophie's the only one he's ever trusted. Ever loved. Ever opened up to. But he can't say anything now, can he? Because those things he's seen...they can't be shared. Not without pain.
The first songfic (Chandelier) will be posted tomorrow evening.
Have a nice life!
Xoxo,
Cress & Alder
