Hello, Happy New Year, lots of luck and love and everything for all of you!
To celebrate 2018, year KHIII will be released, SaphirActar and I worked on another challenge (see our Advent Calendar challenge if you are interested!)
This time, we chose for the other a list of 20 songs, and 3 imposed pairings that all would have to be featured at least once. Every chapter is a fully independant songfic. I really recommend you'd listen to the song while reading, or before reading to set up the mood! If you can't, that's okay though :D
Unfortunately, I don't think I will translate her chapters this time, because even though I had a lot of fun doing so for December, it was really time consuming and I'm going back to work, so no time for that. Sorry!
I will try to post it every other day. Might skip sometimes depending on my schedule, but that's not going to be once a day like the Advent Calendar. Some songfics will have the lyrics, some won't, depending on the atmosphere I wanted.
Disclaimer : I do not own either the songs used or KH. I will set appropriate warnings when necessary, but let me warn you that some chapters do have some swearing (mostly when there is some in the original song), and some will have some same-sex relationship. I don't do lemon or anything so really it won't be anything NSFW, but at least you know! (I will warn you when that applies)
Song : When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan (Toy Story 2) Once again, if you can listen to the song before/while reading, I think it will add a lot to the reading ;)
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I, when she loved me.
I remember a time where everything seemed so beautiful, countless hours spent together, playing, laughing, chatting. These memories will remain anchored in my heart forever.
When she was sad, I would always be there to cheer her up. To make her laugh. To dry those tears away.
When she was happy, her smile made my heart jump in my chest. It didn't matter if I was sad, angry, tired: a smile of her brightened my world like nothing else. Nothing else mattered. If she was happy, then so was I. Because I loved her, and she loved me too.
Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all
Just she and I together, like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me.
Time flew. We grew up together. We would watch the seasons go one after another in an endless cycle. We would grow older together. I had her and she had me. That's how we were meant to be.
There were times when she felt lonely. Missing what she used to have before she had me. At these times, I would be there for her, listening to her stories or telling her my own. All my crazy adventures, about how much I wanted to be the bravest knight ever and slay dragons and ended up being late for dinner and be grounded. My words always soothed her. She would laugh and ask questions and soon enough the pain was gone from her eyes. Instead, they sparkled like crazy, and that was how I knew she loved me.
So the years went by, I stayed the same
But she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, when she'd say "I will always love you."
But happiness isn't meant to last, so it appears. I messed up. I messed up really badly. Not something that could be forgiven, really. I opened my heart to Darkness, I let it took control of my body. I was gone, and yet I was still there. And she was gone, and she wasn't there anymore.
She was lost in darkness, and I was a prisoner of my own body. Waiting for the day I would see again those blue eyes, filled with eternal love. Dreading that day just as much.
Lonely and forgotten, never thought she'd look my way,
And she smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do,
Like she loved me, when she loved me
And I was a nobody now. Still couldn't control a thing. Still just able to see through my own eyes, see the horrors my body was doing. And when I learnt they managed to get her out, I was terrified. She wouldn't look at me like she used to. I was an enemy now.
But she found her way to me. My body, my soul tried to hurt her, even though my heart begged not to. And yet, she smiled at me. Yet, she put her hand on my cheek. Yet, she called me by my name.
Just like she still loved me.
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful,
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me.
She was gone again, saved from me by her friends. But I would never forget her words as they took her away by force, to protect her. There is always a way. I will save you.
And my heart started feeling again. Filled with hope. Remembering all the time we spent together, when she loved me.
And waiting for the days we would spend together again. Because she still loved me.
I really do start this year with a lot of Terra x'D Hope you enjoyed this one! I'm going to do the same thing as the Advent Calendar: giving you the title of the next song, so if you want to guess which characters this could be about, feel free to give it a try!
Next Song : Hold on to you - NateWantsToBattle (that's probably the easiest one to guess XDD)
