This songfic was inspired by Shatter Me - Lindsey Stirling featuring Lzzy Hale.

Summary: Jack is playing the violin and dancing on the lake in the dead of night, since playing music relieves his loneliness for a time.

I highly recommend you listen to the song while reading this, since I can't add the violin parts in. Enjoy. I do not own Rotg or Shatter me.

In the moonlight I prepare to play the notes of my emotions on the ice violin. Nothing but the crisp night air and the stars are here to witness my sorrowful tune, coldness seeps through my feet as I stand on this forever frozen lake, where this loneliness started. Breathing in and out.

I pirouette in the dark

I see the stars through a mirror

Tired mechanical heart

Beats 'til the song disappears

Somebody shine a light

I'm frozen by the fear in me

Somebody make me feel alive

And shatter me

So cut me from the line

Dizzy, spinning endlessly

Somebody make me feel alive

And shatter me

No longer having control over my body as this powerful yet sad melody drives my feet to slowly spin across the ice in a soft looping pattern from the center. I close my eyes, knowing from before everything will be fine as long as I don't open my petrifyingly blue eyes, to the years of pain that are being played out in the darkness of night.

Shatter me!

Somebody make me feel alive

And shatter me

The beat moves faster as does my pace, in order to keep up with the rhythm.

If only the clockwork could speak

I wouldn't be so alone

We'd burn every magnet and spring

And spiral into the unknown

Then I slow down till I'm standing right where I started, time seeming to slow down with me to fit the song itself. But, I pause, feeling the small trickle of tears fall down my face for a time till they leave frozen lines on my cheeks. And suddenly I throw my head back and spin furiously for a second, freeze framed with my entire body in an arch, time stopping with tiny snowflakes scattered around me. Falling back into the rhythm of the song as it slowly starts to come to a close.

If I break the glass then I'll have to fly

There's no one to catch me if I take a dive

I'm scared of change and the days stay the same

The world is spinning but only in gray

If I break the glass then I'll have to fly

There's no one to catch me if I take a dive

I'm scared of change and the days stay the same

The world is spinning but only in gray

(Only...)

I pause once more before the final strings are struck.

Me...!

Shatter me!

Somebody make me feel alive

And shatter me!

And after striking the last few strings, let the violin dissipate into the air, grab my staff and fly to Santoff Clausen where North's workshop is located, for the third guardian meeting after defeating Pitch. Though as every time this happens, and every time I leave, I'm constantly reassured that no one will ever witness my pain, and hopefully no one will. For it is only ever the cold, darkness, and me. Forever alone.

So I hope you enjoyed this, just remember to comment and favorite. I made Jack really depressed in this one, but I assure you it was in the entire mood from start to finish.

I will see you all at some other time, so goodbye for now. ^-^
