so, to get in a writing mood, i'll usually throw together a playlist of songs with lyrics and/or titles that reflect the themes of what i'm writing. i was doing this for
Stand Where You Are, and i thought to myself, i said, self, why not post this mix as a soundtrack for SWYA?. so i did. and because i'm classy like that, the songs progress in a chronological order that mirrors the events of the fic, so listen to them in that order, mmkay? mmkay.
