Okay, so apparently sifting through music that says Helen/Will to me, and finding what I think might say Helen/Will to someone besides me is breaking my brain. It also doesn't help I must listen to them all as I go through them. LOL
I guess I will just let you make your own decisions b/c I'm quite hopeless.
Also, "Worthless" sort of strikes me as Helen/John-ish, at times, but I think it could almost work for a flipped perspective (angry Will), in a bizarre sort of way. Again, I'll let you figure that one out. LOL
But I think finally I have a semi-decent mix of stuff.
You are MADE of awesome. Right now I've got everything and the kitchen sink on mine, plus some songs I used for a big RP plot and the Chambord fic.
I'm looking for the Will you just picked up with the 12-step quote. Angsty as fuck but still kind of a funny dude. Not slit your throat angst, but I'm so in love it hurts angst.
Aw, sweetheart. Thank you. I'm glad that's working. I fret.
If you want it, it's here, but I warn, it's seriously unsorted. I just threw a bunch of DMB, Sarah McLachlan, Rush, U2, some jazz from Chambord, weird odds and ends from the Propitiation plot, your list, and some other me specific things on there. I don't know that all of it works for Will yet. I'm just playing with it.
Grabbed those songs, so we'll see.
Patient!Will?
Oh, I like the feedback. It motivates me to keep going. I don't write for the comments at all, but having it not be so solitary a process helps me not get too trapped in my brain.
Moira is not canon! I credit sheikah with my headcanon on Declan's family (4 sisters, Gran and Da) even though we've diverged a bit on ages, orders, etc.
I've given him: Gran - steely enough to make Magnus sit with bottle green eyes Da - no real characterization Claire, a barrister (Cerie's), the oldest Fiona, a doctor, second oldest, a stairstep from Claire Bethia, a marketing genius who turned the local into a tourist trap, a few years from Claire [Declan's a stairstep from Bethia] Moira, an artist who's a bit 'daft' (Cerie's) and then fleshed her out into a character I kind of want to write an entire novel about. Maybe I'll lift her and turn her into original fiction. ;)
So. For the awesome name/s and structure, blame sheikah. The stuff you won't like is mine. :P Will needs all the hugs in the world, poor baby.
*laugh* Standard disclaimer for when I borrow. The good bits always belong to someone else, and anything you don't like is mine. Protecting the innocent!
If you write it, I will ship it with you forever. Hell, I might even write it. I looooooooove Aeryn.
I am not allowed to make playlists ever. Because they always end up completely Dave Matthews and U2. Most of my Will/Helen standards are by them. I made this playlist a few months ago. I also really love "All I Want Is You" by U2 for them.
I have a few songs that are Magnus-centric, mostly as pertains to Druitt and how fucked up he is (Sleep to Dream Her by Dave Matthews Band, Samson by Regina Spektor, Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine).
And, bonus! As I've been writing Declan lately, I'm really drawn to Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol for him and I think "Starry Eyed" by Ellie Goulding is a good Sam/Declan song >.>
I had most of these, yup, but added them. Hilariously, it's currently like 600 songs long. I need to weed some things out probably. But Grooveshark is nifty for adding everything in big chunks. If you want the collection to fiddle bits and pieces from (I haven't listened to the whole thing and started removing stuff), it's here: All the songs ever
Will have to start collecting for Sam/Declan, too. Right now they don't need as much music, but they will.
50 Year Love Affair + Fountain of Youth by Emily Wells Falling is like this by Ani Difranco Answer (I think we discussed this one, omg) + Plenty + Possession by Sarah McLachlan Bliss by Tori Amos When It Doesn't Come Easy by Patty Griffin Endlessly by Muse I Say No by by Anna Ternheim Under Your Leaves by The Concretes Fires by Fences (which is really Helen/John-Helen/Will to me) Make a Name For Me & You by Rachael Cantu
With a lot of these it's the lyrics that get me, that feel like them, but with others its the way the song sounds and not necessarily the lyrics. I haven't uploaded any of them into a fanmix, but I can (or put together a grooveshark list) if you want. :)

Are you looking for any specific kind of music (sad, romantic, upbeat, etc.) or just a random selection of whatever comes to mind?

Any music, really. I can sort it for the moment.

I've given him:
Gran - steely enough to make Magnus sit with bottle green eyes
Da - no real characterization
Claire, a barrister (Cerie's), the oldest
Fiona, a doctor, second oldest, a stairstep from Claire
Bethia, a marketing genius who turned the local into a tourist trap, a few years from Claire
[Declan's a stairstep from Bethia]
Moira, an artist who's a bit 'daft' (Cerie's) and then fleshed her out into a character I kind of want to write an entire novel about. Maybe I'll lift her and turn her into original fiction. ;)

(Um, our icons should be a pairing.)
