#Bear's Den

[khruschevshoe]

That moment when a fanfic author titles their fic after a song you already know and love so you're just vibing that much harder to the fic in question

#this is about Annie's song by john denver #but also #hozier #Bear's den #florence + the machine #fanfic #ao3 #songs #ofmd #power rangers #merlin #chronicles of narnia #shadow and bone #saw #doctor who #torchwood #sleeping at last

Sometimes you just have to listen to the live version of a song and feel like you're ascending to godhood...

#this is specifically about the following: #like real people do #how to rest #inertia #hozier #the crane wives #ajr #the chain #fleetwood mac #but also some others #the only time i have ever come CLOSE to believing in god was listening to in the bleak midwinter #lover of the light #mumford & sons #ol' man river #judy garland #wishing well #the oh hellos #trees #running up that hill #first aid kit #think of england #bear's den #anthem part 2 #blink 182 #the wages #june #florence + the machine #have the live versions of all of these songs on my phone

Please, just don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to You said stay in the car and wait There's just some things I have to say Don't you know I miss her, too I miss her just as much as you

I was too young to understand The flowers slipping from your hands I was too young to understand I was too young to understand

- Bear's Den, Above the Clouds of Pompeii

#guess who finished brief lives last weekend and feeling totally normal abt it :') #the sandman #dream of the endless #brief lives #above the clouds of pompeii #bear's den #you will listen to this song and associate it with dream and orpheus you will

It's a crying shame

With no words left to say

We've been looking for anything to lead us back

But you can't hear my side

I can't read your mind

I'm clinging on to a memory

If that's all that we have

Then that's a hell of a waste

As we fall from grace

All tangled up in honest mistakes

G i just wanted to let you know i listened to bear's den bc of that post you reblogged from me about what your blog description is from and WOW!! i enjoyed the album and especially loved laurel wreath and fuel on the fire. i'd love to hear some of your other faves or what you recommend most!

Justine this made me so !!! because I love bear's den!! I'm so glad you liked them! I've put two songs each from their other main albums below the cut and a few extras.

Islands: The Love We Stole, Elysium

Red Earth & Pouring Rain: Red Earth & Pouring Rain, Auld Wives

Blue Hours: Blue Hours, Gratitude

Agape & Above the Clouds of Pompeii are their most known songs + both are great live.

From singles + EPs, Stitch in Time is a personal fave and Favourite Patient is probably their most emotional song.

#let me know if you like any of these!! (no pressure ofc) #trying to pick my faves from each album was so hard lmao #but I could yell about so many of their songs #bear's den

It's a part of me, Gabriel, I wish I could deny

Face that I can barely recognize

He lives inside of me every day of my life

I can hear him, screaming in the night

It's just a shadow, cast from all the light

Wherever I go, he's never far behind

And in the darkness, I lose him every time

In the dark, the two of us combine

Is this all I am and all I ever was?

All that he has won, is all that I have lost

Won't you hear me out, Gabriel?

Can't you see the shape I'm in?

Just don't leave me alone

Just don't leave me alone

It's a part of me, Gabriel, a stranger in the night

And all I have done, will I ever reconcile?

It's not just a shadow, but a life I left behind

The person I am, yet most despise

Jim Jimenez and Lucius Spriggs

It's the fear, and not the ghost

That leaves me haunted, haunted

See what a life you lead:

You're an anchor for all the heaviest

Regrets inside of you

Escape; we collect mistakes

I will carry them home

-The Crane Wives, Not the Ghost

Lucius carries his own wreckage around from Blackbeard’s time as god, but it’s a different sort of shipwreck, a different sort of chain. There is a grief, but not a guilt. At least, not anymore. While he was trapped, he felt guilty for surviving when he wasn’t sure if Pete was still alive, but once Blackbeard was gone, he didn't have to carry a giant length of crimes around his neck because Blackbeard had told him that either he committed these atrocities, or he'd die, and he had to get back to Olu and protect everyone else at all costs.

Jim isn’t going to downplay the way that that trunk haunts Lucius. Its ghost still physically haunts him, in the form of his dizzy spells, but he doesn’t have wanted posters. He doesn’t have crimes. He doesn’t have the shame of murder and the blood of others clinging to his hands. He doesn’t have to look over his shoulder in case someone is hunting him-

Or, rather, scratch that last one. Because Lucius doesn’t have to look over his shoulders due to people hunting him for a bounty, but someone did murder him in cold blood. Jim had to live with threats for months, up until the moment Blackbeard actually shot Izzy; Lucius had to live with first-hand knowledge of hands that were willing to shove him overboard.

Jim doesn’t know what ghosts Lucius clings to. They only know what ghosts cling to them, what ghosts dig their claws in and refuse to let go, no matter how many times Jim tries to bury them for good.

-aletterinthenameofsanity, you will never slip away (you’ll find me waiting here for you)

Founding members of the "Fuck Blackbeard" club (and "Fuck the People Who Raised Me" club as well). Two of my three favorite characters in the series. They are there for each other at the critical moments and understand each other so well (and have a great dynamic when Mel is added in Season 3). Also, the fact that their friendship begins with Lucius stealing a dagger for Jim AFTER Jim literally nearly kills Lucius gets me every time.

Special thanks to @possumsmushroom, who I was talking to about Lucius & Jim and who is an amazing artist!

Merthur fic/playlist!

So when I finally got back into fic writing back in early October (can't believe it's been that long!) I started out with this four-part Merthur fic (it's one continuous AU where each of the four parts tackles an event that should have happened: in order, a love confession, a magic reveal, a reconciliation with Morgana, and taking down Uther). It's deliciously angsty and tender and the playlist greatly reflects that.

Excerpt:

Arthur's gaze is unnerving. It is wretched. It is impossibly close as Arthur leans in and their lips connect, a salty communion, a bitter goodbye, the sweetest of surprises, the sourest of reminders.

Arthur's kiss digs. It burrows beneath Merlin's skin and into his heart and shoves its roots in and he gasps into it, knowing that he will never be able to hold onto it.

Arthur goes to pull up, to pull away, and Merlin's hand shoots out instinctively, without thought, to grab the back of his neck and pull him back.

Merlin is a weak, craven creature, he knows. He is owed nothing save the other side of his coin. His destiny says nothing about love. It says pretty much the opposite, in fact, condemns him to be a lonely shadow to the greatest King to ever walk Albion's stones.

He should let go. He should let Arthur have his future with Gwen, his Kingship without nasty ties to sorcerous servant men who have three strikes against them in terms of love.

But even as his fingers slacken, Arthur's grab his and hold tight, tugging him close, holding him closer.

'When you break' by Bear's Den is a Chazz Princeton/Jun Manjoume song. There, I said it

Raise the root but spare the tree, and cut you out of my memory

A Bear's Den song on a Ted Lasso episode is something that can be so personal actually
