AN: This will be a short thread of things that will probably end up being too long to be drabbles and too short to be full fics. I guess they're ficlets? I don't know. What this is is a series of songfics written with the help of Pandora. I put my Pandora on shuffle, write down the first song, and every day (hopefully) will write a new ficlet. Some will be based on the title of the song only and others on the meaning of the lyrics (if they don't relate). I can't promise regular updates, because ha, life. Anyway, I will be writing tons of pairings and will also be accepting requests for what people I write with! So feel free to rate and request and I will get to pretty much any pairing (friend or romantic) from Awakening that is requested (because honestly, I love all of them). The only things I will not write are anything above T rating. Anything else is fair game. Anyway, on with the first ficlet!

1)Feel Again by One Republic

Pairing: Brady/Lucina

Lucina stared up at the stars, leaning contentedly against Brady's shoulder, the fingers of her left hand intertwined with the fingers of his right. She smiled, thinking of how amazingly different her life was now that they had saved the future. Before, she couldn't get close to anyone. It always just…hurt when she did. She closed herself off…and she had to wonder if she was the only one.

"Brady?" Lucina said, barely adding a questioning inflection to her voice.

"Yeah?" Brady asked, looking over at Lucina worriedly.

"I...was just thinking. Did you…shut yourself off?"

"Huh?"

"I…never got close to anyone before. I was too scared. I wouldn't let anyone in."

"I don't quite know. I mean, ya definitely had it worse than me. You had to save Ylisse."

"But…did you ever want to?" Brady sighed.

"I mean, yeah. It sure hurt when Ma and Pa both weren't around…but there wasn't much of anyone to get close to for me, ya know? Most everyone was scared of my ugly mug. Never really got to know me." Lucina kissed Brady's cheek, right on the scar there, prompting a blush.

"You aren't ugly," she interjected. "But…am I heartless for that? I mean, Father was gone, and Mother was as well…but others were fine." Brady shook his head.

"Not one person was 'fine'. Even your brother only chased after girls so he didn't hafta feel so lonely."

"But…"

"No buts. Honestly, I'm the biggest crybaby there is. You're just strong and I bet ya just wanted to stay that way. You care too much 'bout the rest of us to let yourself do a little cryin'." Lucina sighed. "Don't ya go feeling mopey. Then I'm gonna start." Lucina laughed and squeezed Brady's hand. Brady leaned down to kiss her on the lips, and Lucina gratefully met him halfway. "Ya just did what ya needed to. And ya definitely are different now. In the best way."

"Thank you, Brady. Can I tell you something?" Lucina asked.

"'Course."

"You're why I let myself feel again." Brady grinned, tearing up a little, and he let Lucina cuddle closer to him as they both relaxed, enjoying the amazing and newfound feeling of love.
