A/N: This will be a series of Shuffle Challenges (using standard Shuffle Challenge rules), the only difference being that I am using Pandora rather than my own personal music library or mp3 player.

Yes, the collection title is a pun on chord and discord.

And don't say I didn't warn you about the writing quality...

Pairing for this set of songs: Orion/Walburga

Apocalyptica, "Struggle"

I should not have had children with this woman, Orion realizes as he restrains his raving wife.

Nicki Minaj f/ Ariana Grande, "Get On Your Knees"

There was nothing wrong with their relationship... as long as Orion followed all of his wife's rules and kept the children from bothering her.

Yes, that was right. Sirius was a bad child, that was the problem. Regulus didn't have any problems behaving to his mother's expectations, so it couldn't be that they were bad parents.

Orion did what he could to make Sirius behave, but the child was just a brat.

BoA, "Hope"

Orion had foolishly hoped that Sirius's running away and subsequent disowning would restore the remains of his family to the happiness which they had previously had. But now he realized that something had changed within Walburga after the birth of their children, and her sanity had slowly eroded since the loss of that bit. There would be no reclaiming it.

Seether, "Rise Above This"

There was gossip, of course. No one dared insult them to their faces, lest said faces be cursed off the bone in retaliation, but there were rumors.

EVE 6, "At Least We're Dreaming"

As a teenager, Walburga read a lot of romance novels. She waited for her perfect soulmate to seek her out, for someone to sweep her off her feet like the spoiled princess that she was.

She waited for a long time. Longer than most girls of her generation had to wait.

In the end, all she received was a stammering proposal from a younger cousin.

Black Veil Brides, "Rebel Love Song"

No one in the Black family knows that Walburga once ran off with a mudblood, thanks to some harebrained idea she gained from reading too many romance novels.

Her parents never found out about the mudblood because Orion tracked them down and dragged her home, in the middle of the night, and their family assumed that it was Orion she'd been out with the whole time, and forced the two of them into marriage.

Default, "Wasting My Time"

As they got ready for bed, Orion went to his wife and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, leaning down to kiss her shoulder.

"I've already given you two sons. We don't need to proceed further with these activities," she informed him coldly as she freed herself from his embrace.

"But-" he protested.

"No!" she snapped. "Go sleep in another room if you can't keep your hands to yourself!"

"But I lo-"

He stopped himself from saying it. Obviously it his feelings didn't matter to her.

Iron & Wine, "Love Vigilantes"

[entire song played out before I had anything close to an idea]

Halestorm, "Freak Like Me"

Orion was fine with letting his wife take the lead in their relationship. He had always been timid since the time they were children.

Basshunter, "Now You're Gone"

Orion's death was sudden and unexpected. The disease came upon him so quickly, and there was nothing the healers could do to save him.

After the funeral, now alone in what was once their home, Walburga realized that she was truly alone now, and regretted how poorly she had treated her husband, for she realized now that she had truly loved him.
