( Let Me Down Easy: an e/R fanmix )

Title: Heroes Never Die (Unless I Let Them)
Fandom: Overwatch
Content Notes: none apply
Fanmixer's Notes: front and back cover, as well as a playlist of five songs showcasing the progress of Mercy losing faith in her teammates; inspired by watching my friends try out Overwatch for the first time, both becoming Mercy mains, and getting increasingly salty towards unnecessary I need healing! shouts within two hours of playing.
Summary: A fanmix for an exasperated Mercy; because no matter how kind a person may be, it is only a matter of time until they snap.

Title: First Human Spectre
Fandom: Mass Effect
Content notes: Renegade playlist includes strong language.
Fanmixer notes: two playlists of eight tracks each, also two front covers and two back covers; depending on the choices of the player, the identity of the PC changes, which makes for at least two quite different playthroughs (hence the challenges Identity, Choices, The Other Side).
Summary: You are the first human Spectre, Commander. This is a great accomplishment for you and your entire species. (x)

( First Human Spectre )

Title: Love Until This Dream is Gone
Fandom: Code Black
Content notes: N/A
Fanmixer notes: This leans heavily on Jaymes Young because when I first found his music I associated it with the two dorks mentioned within. In fandom's past, I used to see fanmixes with ficlets like this. I hope it's okay. Just youtube links for now, sorry.
Summary: Love was something Mario never expected to find and of course it doesn't last.

( Love Until This Dream is Gone - 12 songs with links to youtube and ficlets, no cover art )

Title: Jimenseki
Fandom: Music
Summary: A fanmix with the prompt "rock." I was inspired by the museum in Japan, which "houses all kinds of jinmenseki, or rock with a human face, including celebrity lookalikes like Elvis Presley." Songs that represent "rock" as an emotion or metaphor, or otherwise have an anthropomorphic theme; in some cases, from the video or other place the song has shown up.

Title: dark star
Fandom: Daredevil (TV)
Content notes:
Fanmixer notes: I interpreted the prompt "midnight" as a midnight of the soul of sorts, a dark place which is also a turning point - a crisis of faith. Matt's faith is very important to him and for the most part, it is a source of strength for him - until it's not, and suddenly becomes a source of inner turmoil and conflict. I tried to illustrate that journey in this mix.

Summary: A mix about Matt and faith.

Title: Burn With Me
Fandom: Guild Wars 2
Content notes: 10 songs by various metal bands; fully half are by Amaranthe
Fanmixer notes: I hope it's ok that I just linked the videos here, rather than creating a playlist.
Summary: Saavedra's tale begins with an untried young woman with a warrior's heart, a woman in love with a man who is wrong for her in every way that counts. When she discovers the gods-given Gift of Silence and the true power inside her, she leaves her home - and the man that seeks to control her - and begins a journey to discover her true purpose in life. This is my soundtrack for her story, from mixed-up young woman to unstoppable Guardian, to bearer of the legendary greatsword Eternity and master of her Gift of Silence. Someday I will write the story that goes with this fanmix...

Title: Daerja
Fandom: Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Fanmixer Notes: The songs included in this are the ones I used as prompts for a set of stories in an AU which I haven't posted much - and haven't posted any of the stories which were inspired by the songs. They are in order of the stories which they go with.
