coyotesuspect | Fanmix: That the Science of Cartography is Limited

Title: That the Science of Cartography is Limited
Subject: Remus/Sirius
Summary: I'm pretty sure if you peel away all my different fandoms, and all my loves and OTPs at all my fandoms, you'll find, at the very center, Remus and Sirius ~~slow dancing~~. I read in one ship manifesto or the other that Remus and Sirius is, even in canon, the story of two misfit boys who found each other and lost each other only to find lose each other again. They're friends and they're comrades, and they love each other a lot, and the circumstances of their time are such that that love still isn't enough. Consider this mix a map of their relationship. It's small and lacking, but the bones of it are there. Also, if my fifteen year old self had her way, this would be all Bright Eyes and Snow Patrol songs. I have mostly avoided that impulse.
Notes: Mix contains front and back covers, individual uploads of 10 songs, and a .zip of all songs plus a bonus song. Title stolen straight from a poem of the same name, and the pictures for the front and back covers were found after hours of trawling through the tumblr fuckyeahsodomites (very NSFW).

As always, thank you to

familiardevil , for everything. ♥

(1) Light a Roman Candle with Me - .Fun
Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
you haven't seen my best, so...
Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so…

(2) My Moon My Man – Feist
Heart on my sleeve
Not where it should be
The song's out of key again
My moon's white face
What day and what phase
It's the calendar page again
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
And shed some light
Shed some light on me please

(3) Fake Empire – The National
Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
Turn the light, out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky

(4) Maps – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Pack up. I've strayed. Enough
Made off. Don't stray
My kind's your kind.
Maps.
Wait. They don't love you like I love you
Maps.
Wait. They don't love you like I love you.

(5) Fireworks After Midnight – Gold Motel
Once we were careless kids.
While we watched the fireworks, twenty years went by.
Fireworks are almost over; it's after midnight.
One last time, pull me closer after midnight.
Backseat in a foreign town lost between the lights,
fingerprints on the window, we put fingerprints on the sky
Now I'm yours but, one day soon, it will be otherwise
All your love won't be enough. I have realized
First you’re laughing, then you cry.

(6) Poke – Frightened Rabbit
I might never catch a mouse and present it in my mouth
And make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you.
But there's one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing.
It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon.
Should look through some old photos I adored you in every one of those.
If someone took a picture of us now they'd need to be told that we had ever clung and tied a navy knot with arms at night
I hate when I feel like this and I never hated you.

(7) In Our Bedroom After the War – Stars
Wake up
Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you.
If there’s no one there, then there’s no one there,
But at least the war is over.
Left before you woke.
As you ate last night
Neither of you smoked.
Dishes, TV, bed
The dark was filled with dread
But at least the war is over.
We won, or we think we did,
When you went away, you were just a kid,
And if you lost it all, then you lost it

(8) Run – Basia Bulat
If you're looking for the moon,
is it ever when it's new?
When the iron is cold and the binding holds fast onto you
When I listen for the footsteps that nearly knock me down in the room
the teller is gone, you say, but how well can you really see?
Oh you'll find it by and by
in a heartbeat you'll be free
and you will
run, run, run
keep running back to me

(9) Run - Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right in a lifetime.
And I can barely look at you, but every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere away from here.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

(10) Province – TV on the Radio
Suddenly, all your history's ablaze
Try to breathe as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves we're in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains
And all your memories are as precious as gold
And all the honey and the fire which you stole
Hold your heart courageously as we walk into this dark place
Stand, stare fast, erect and see that love is the province of the brave

+ Atheist Christmas Carol – Vienna Teng
It's the season of possible miracle cures
where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown.
Where time begins to fade
and age is welcome home.
It's the season of eyes meeting over the noise
and holding fast with sharp realization
it's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention
you are safe here you know now

don't forget
don't forget I love
I love
I love you
