1. Breakeven by The Script (Santana/Brittany)
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even.
"If she walked out tomorrow and never came back. Would you be over it in six fucking months? Yeah, that’s what I thought."
2. Late Nights and Street Fights by Dirty Vegas (Santana & Puck)
Late nights and street fights, dirty city, bright lights
Messing with the wrong crowd, and everything that goes down
Young enough to know no better, get myself together
'Cause I know, I know can't go on living this way
"Do you want to work beat today? We can go give out speeding tickets and misdemeanors all day. Maybe make a few teenagers' lives miserable."
"Captain won't like it."
"Shit, since when do we care how the captain feels?"
3. Why Can’t We Be Friends by Sublime (Santana & Rachel)
Why can’t we be friends?
I've seen you 'round for a long, long time
I remembered you when you drank my wine
"Is Rachel going to be there?"
"You understand we're married right?"
"So?"
"So that means she kind of is like, around."
"That's unfortunate."
4. Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright (Santana/Liquor & Cigarettes)
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like is a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me
"You're drunk."
"Yeah."
"You've been doing a lot of that lately."
5. Better by Regina Spektor (Santana & Quinn)
Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
"You want another drink?"
"You have something stronger?"
And this, this is why Quinn is her best friend.
6. On Broken Strings by James Morrison & Nelly Furtado (Santana/Brittany)
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything
"Don't think about it."
"Britt..."
"Please."
"Stop it."
"I can't."
7. Freeze and Explode by Cassettes Don't Listen (Santana & Quinn, Santana/Brittany)
There’s nothing we can say or do. The damage is in front of you
I’m sorry but sometimes things fall apart
Take some time to understand, the situation’s out of hand
But you didn’t see it from the start
"Figure it out, Santana. And stop taking it out on everyone else. Or I'm going to stop cleaning up the pieces and then you'll really be shit out of luck."
8. Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine (Santana/Brittany)
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out. You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight, in the shadow of your heart
"You left me."
"You didn't chase me."
9. Carry Me Home (Featuring Dallas Green) by Nashville Skyline (Santana & Quinn, Santana/Brittany)
Come closer, we're alone
and I know you feel so helpless
I know, I know
"You need to get a hold of yourself, Fabray. I'm supposed to be the mess. You're the stable one."
*
"Can we not talk right now?"
"Okay, we won't talk."
10. If My Heart Were a House by Owl City (Brittany, Santana/Brittany & Nemo)
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
If my heart were a compass, you’d be north
Risk it all 'cause I’ll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go, if my heart were a house, you’d be home
"Look at him, he's ours! We're a family. You, me, Quinn, Rachel, Puck and now Nemo!"
"Yeah. He is. We are."
11. Come Home by OneRepublic (Santana/Brittany)
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home
"We were together for fifteen years. I figured maybe you had just gotten bored with me or something."
"Never. You're it for me. You're it. I thought you knew that."
12. Where's Your Head At by Basement Jaxx (Santana/Brittany, Santana & Puck)
Where's your head at?
Don't let the walls cave on you
We can't live on, live on without you
There's no way this is happening. There's no way Puck gets a fucking explosion to the face and then Brittany is gone. There's no way.
13. Trouble is a Friend by Lenka (Russell Fabray)
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine
"You recognize something?"
"It just looked like Mr. Fabray for a second.”
14. Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson cover) by Alien Ant Farm (Roger Pike)
There's a sign at the window, that he struck you, a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment, he left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom, you were struck down, it was your doom
"Pike, you so much as touch her."
"Oh, Lopez. You know that's not how this works."
15. Fight Song by The Republic Tigers (Santana & Puck)
Evacuate now 'cause the storm's for out for blood
Built a shelter for your kind and protect the ones you love
"You sure you want to do this? We'll probably both be fired. If we survive, that is."
"I'm with you to the end."
16. I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin (Santana vs Pike)
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
With that in her head and Pike's laugh breaking through her memory, time starts up again and she pulls the trigger.
17. Munich (Editors cover) by Corinne Bailey Rae (Santana & Quinn, Santana/Brittany)
It breaks when you don't force it, it breaks when you don't try
People are fragile things, you should know by now, careful what you put them through
With one hand, you calm me, with one hand, I’m still
Quinn is as much a part of her as her own flesh and blood, and for the first time in her entire life she feels like she can't trust her, like everything they've ever been together is a lie - and for some reason that feeling, the sharp stab of betrayal, is tainting Brittany too.
18. Sleeper Awake by Sarah Blasko (Santana, Quinn & their parents)
Some of us don't know that we were born and sold a lie
Sometimes can't speak, we try, but our voice cannot be heard
Use your hands, don’t be afraid to stand up for something.
"Family does some terrible things to each other. I think you know that better than anyone."
**BONUS TRACK. The Dark Knight End Credits Suite by Hans Zimmer (Santana & Quinn)
Instrumental
"Organized crime is a dark stain upon this city. A battle we all fight daily. All of us. We must remain vigilant, we must stand strong."
19. Little Wonders by Rob Thomas (finale, Santana/Family)
Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists & turns of fate
Time falls away, but these small hours
These small hours still remain
"You sure you’re ready for this?"
"Are you?"
20. I Was Made for Sunny Days by the Weepies (roll credits, Santana/Brittany)
I was made for sunny days.
I make due with grey, but I didn't stay.
I was made for sunny days
And I was made for you.
"You okay?"
"I’m perfect. Absolutely perfect."

Art Notes: In theory, the artwork above would be a cd insert/foldout of 3 panels, back and forth, like so:
Outside:
Inside:
Credit for the duck and toothbrushes image goes to randowom. Thanks for letting me use your awesome image. Also, many thanks to berry-hearts and coeschmoe on tumblr for their help and feedback, especially on Kevlar!Santana.
And of course, this would not be possible without the very awesome lynnearlington. All props go to her for giving us almost daily updates with kickass characterization, creating a completely and wholly engaging universe that includes Mike/Brittany dance-offs and Nemo, and above all, for giving us a better appreciation of decaf. *bows down to your awesomeness*
