Catching up on a couple days all at once!

Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork.

You know, I was going to skip Day 11, because I have been working on some longer pieces and one for chocolateboxcomm that, since it's a fic exchange, will not go live until February. But then I was talking with my friend Matt, and I sent him all of the lyrics I chose for my Andrew McMahon Lyric Challenge and he gave me a few ideas.

Last night I cranked out a one-shot in one night (this never happens!) and may I present to you: House in the Trees, a Steve Rogers gen fic in which he remembers the Howling Commandos. ♥


Challenge #12

In your own space, resurrect an old meme.

Back in the day I was a slut for lyric memes. Okay, I'm still a slut for them. It's a pity that Spotify doesn't have a way for you to shuffle through all the songs of all the artists you have favorited, because otherwise I would have done that.

Instead, I'm going to give you twenty lyrics from songs that appeared in my top 2020 songs. It's also worth noting that one of my most played playlists is the one I made for car rides with my kids, so not all songs were of just my choosing, lol. Guess what song is what! ;) I'll cross them off as they're guessed!

Here we go!

1. Tell every friend, enemy and flesh and blood to send out the battle cry. "Fine," Mike Shinoda, runicmagitek

2. Just shoot for the stars, if it feels right, then aim for my heart.

3. I'll be your cloud up in the sky, I'll be your shoulder when you cry.

4. I wanted to be like you; I wanted everything. "All You Wanted," Michelle Branch, runicmagitek

5. We will never be, never be anything but loud and nitty gritty. "Raise Your Glass," P!nk, immortalje

6. I really feel that I'm losing my best friend. "Don't Speak," No Doubt, sodium_amytal

7. Well of course I'm a force, you're my source, you're my equal and my opposite.

8. You've got a big heart, the way you see the world, it got you this far.

9. We invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents... your dinner. "Be Our Guest," Beauty and the Beast, seleneheart

10. For a shield from the storm, for a friend, for a love to keep me safe and warm.

11. Sometimes the world seems against you, the journey may leave a scar.

12. According to all sources, the street's the place to go. "It's Raining Men," The Weather Girls, immortalje and dreamersdare

13. But thick as you are, pay attention; my words are a matter of pride. "Be Prepared," The Lion King, sodium_amytal

14. Like a rock, you wait so patiently. "What A Girl Wants," Christina Aguilera, runicmagitek

15. If I sound lazy, just ignore my tone, 'cause I'm always gonna answer when you call my phone.

16. Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember. "Once Upon a December," Anastasia, sodium_amytal

17. Buried under covers, friend, don't wanna play those songs again.

18. Boiling heat, summer stench, neath the black the sun looks dead. "Black Hole Sun," Soundgarden, sodium_amytal

19. You're a cherry blossom, you're about to bloom. "Centuries," Fall Out Boy, tribble_of_tarth

20. I was the one who had it all; I was the master of my fate. "Evermore," Beauty and the Beast 2017, mythicmistress

Happy guessing! ♥

#12 "It's Raining Men" though the artist escapes me...

[dreamersdare]

Artist for #12 is the Weather Girls (unless my memory fails me...)

Edited to put the right song number on...

[tiny_ninja]

The original is by the Weather Girls! I found a kickass cover by Geri Hallowell that I adore: you can listen here!

[tiny_ninja]

You are correct! Thanks for playing!

[sodium_amytal]

Ooh!

6: Don’t Speak by No Doubt

#1 Fine by Mike Shinoda
#4 All You Wanted by Michelle Branch
#14 What A Girl Wants by Christina Aguilera

[tiny_ninja]

I honestly thought 1 might stump some people, but you know me so well, bb. ♥

[runicmagitek]

;D that's why we're brain twins!

But legit, I listen to his stuff when I need a Linkin Park fix without getting sad about Linkin Park 💕 he's got some good quality shit 😎

[tiny_ninja]

Right? I still listen to Linkin Park, but it hits a lot harder in the feels these days. And "Fine" is definitely on AJ's playlist, for reasons. ♥

[enemytosleep]

Don't you love it when the fic just flows and you can get something done in one sitting?! It doesn't happen often at all for me, but when it does it's magic.

I wish I could guess on the lyrics, but I honestly don't recognize any of the unguessed options. Hopefully your friendlist can get the rest!

[tiny_ninja]

It's so satisfying to finish it in one go! I'm glad someone else understands that magical feeling ♥

[mythicmistress]

Do you mind if I take a guess? #20- "Evermore" by Dan Stevens from Beauty and the Beast 2017.

[tiny_ninja]

It is! My son was obsessed with that song for a while. :) Thanks for playing!
