One Small Step, Song Mix & Author's Notes
One Small Step Song Mix created by nightrider101
1. Satellite by BT
She smells of the sun
and she's constantly saying
that's it's all right,
because lies sound so nice.
And like soil to seed goes
to casting my fears aside...
2. Everyone Loves to Love a Lie by Howie Day
By the glow of a red light flashing
She's a vision of poetry
Not sure just where she's crashing
Or who she's suppose do be
Doesn't know if it's him, she's feeling
Doesn't know if it's someone else
Around the bend there's a wrong turn a coming
She's putting it on herself
3. Under the Same Stars by Fink
And we're under the same stars
And that's as close as we get tonight
It only took the once to know how special we could be
if we were left alone
4. You Are the Moon by The Hush Sound
Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone
5. What About Now by Daughtery
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
6. Your Love is a Song by Switchfoot
The dawn is fire bright
Against the city lights
The clouds are glowing now
The moon is blacking out, is blacking out
7. Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Cary Brothers
I've come to tell you all the truth
Though you always had the proof of it
My arms will grow … chest expanding
Of all the boys you could have landed
Why'd it have to be me?
You ... can't take my eyes off of you ... you...can't take my eyes off of you
8. Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur
Don't know why I'm still afraid.
If you weren't real I would make you up now
I wish that I could follow through.
I know that your love is true and deep as the sea
9. Sea of Love by Cat Power
Do you remember when we met
That's the day I knew
You were my pet
I wanna tell you
How much I love you

Author's Notes
Thanks to tmn1966 for the best cheerleading ever! And to nightrider101 for the amazing song mix. Special thanks also to apieceofcake for the thoughtful and lovely art. Also want to give a shoutout to ebcdic for running the spn_meanttobe.
And, thanks always to borgmama1of5 -- the definition of muse is her.
Inspiration for Jared's comic came from the wonderful Web site, WrongPlanet.net. To those brave, honest, wonderful bloggers and posters -- thank you for sharing of yourselves and illuminating the world a little brighter for us NTs.
Quick final word on reality. It's grossly lacking in parts of this story. It's beyond unlikely that in a corporate job anyone could ask an employee at any level to plan his or her wedding. I know this. Move along, please :)
Thank you for reading!
