So, on Thursday, the Poly Big Bang goes live, and THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN WILL BE POSTED. I know that my mixer was planning to do a mix, and I hope that she is still.

But look, I made a mix of my own, as I wrote it, and this is it. This is all I listened to as I wrote it. I was going to wait to post this after Thursday, but I have a feeling that the less I have to do whilst I am away, the better I will be. So, the story stats are:

Title: We held gold dust in our hands
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amand_r
Fandom: Torchwood
Characters: Team, etc (Jack/Lisa/Ianto/Gwen/Rhys and all permutations thereof with a heavy dose of the first three), Rhys, Rhiannon, Alice, Ten, Lisa (basically everyone!)
Timeline: AU from pre S1 and threads through both seasons, part of CoE and into THE FUTURE. Enjoy the ride.

[The files are a mix of different formats, but there's so much converting going on out there that I didn't convert them. I'll be honest—it's one of the few things I have never been able to figure out how to do, much like using ephpod on my computer, despite having it installed. So, I hope that's okay with you, and if you cannot play something in its current format, I am told there are converters out there. And if that doesn't work, I am sorry!]

Srs. I am excited. Hence:


THE POLY FANMIX

LISA: Regina Spektor, 'Laughing With' No one laughs at God in a hospital, no one laughs at God in a war/ No one's laughing at god when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for.

IANTO: The Clarks, 'Born Too Late' I've had a hard time leaving this place/ I've been counting all the lines on my face/ I'm gonna curse the sky, hit the ground/ What goes up comes tumbling down.



JACK: Dave Matthews Band, 'Gravedigger' Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913/ Made his great grandchildren believe you could live to a 103/ A hundred and three is forever when you’re just a little kid/ So, Cyrus Jones lived forever.

JACK/IANTO/LISA: A Newfound Glory, 'Glory of Love' I am the man who will fight for your honor/ I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of/ We'll live forever, knowing together that we/ Did it all for the glory of love.


JACK/LISA: Dave Garza, 'Slave' Black, orange, white, and red/ Dresses hanging off your bed/ From now until you reach your grave/ Baby I will be your slave.

JACK/IANTO: My Chemical Romance, 'Famous Last Words' I am not afraid to keep on living/ I am not afraid to walk this world alone/ Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven/ Nothing you can stay can stop me going home.

JACK/IANTO/LISA/GWEN/RHYS: Sophie B. Hawkins, 'We Are One Body' Your kiss, your kisses set me free/ (I wasn't listening before)/ Your lips your tongue your hands your feet/ (You gave everything back to me)/ I want you need you to feel free/ Now all I want is to be this free.


RHYS/GWEN: Barenaked Ladies, 'Life in a Nutshell' She's like a baby, I'm like a cat; /When we are happy, we both get fat and still /It's never enough, It's never enough, It's never enough.

JACK: Carbon Leaf, 'One Prairie Outpost' Scene after scene passes by my life/ The window's a wound. The road is a knife/ The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'/ I don't know, I don't know/ Because I don't know where to begin.


JACK/IANTO: Heather Nova, 'Walk This World' And it's burning in our fingers and it's burning on the road/ And I like the way you're broken and I'll like you when you're old/ And I see you in the garden and I feel you plant the seed/ I want you to come walk this world with me.

IANTO/LISA: Cyndi Lauper, 'Shine' I can see the frown you wear/ All around like some faded crown,/ Like a watch over-wound/ Gonna call down to this diamond buried underground/ Gonna pull you up, by your love, by your love.

JACK/IANTO: Mates of State, 'Proofs' But let's unravel the edge of time/ Where proofs and postulations rise.



JACK/IANTO/LISA: Lauryn Hill, 'Selah' Please save me from myself/ I need You to save me from myself/ Please save me from myself so I can heal.

TORCHWOOD: Tori Amos, 'Gold Dust' -do I have-of course I have,/ beneath my raincoat,/ I have your photographs./ and the sun on your face/ I'm freezing that frame.

END CREDITS: Ilaria Graziano, 'I Do' I do, I do emergere dal fondo per lottare e poi/ salire in alto più che mai/ I do, I do guardare nel futuro e sorridere/ senza temere nulla più [I do, I do emerge from the depths to fight and then/ Go higher than ever before/ I do, I do look to the future and smile/ Not fearing anything anymore.].

Oh put that fic down. It's tons of words, you'll always find errors with that number of words. You'll have to think sleepy thoughts, mandr. Like, I don't know, sleepy people.

Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!

::runs around like a Very Excited Thing::

Gold Dust was my song with a friend. I love that song. I love the squishiness of the notes together, and the way you can pause until it's almost too much before continuing a phrase. Totally putting this on my phone so I can listen to it tomorrow and work out how they all fit together.

Still really love that "Walk This World w/ Me" -- it's v. perfect, you are absolutely correct. And the last three! Well, all of them, in fact! But the poly makes me choked up and those three especially are making me choked up.

And you used the swishy coat pic! Score!

I added Selah at the last minute yesterday because really, it works. and we played "I Do" at my husband's funeral, so it's all tied up with his death. I listen to it a lot.

WOOOOOOOOOOO POLY!
