it's not songfic because no one's singing karaoke

[schmerica]

Look! Musical accompaniments! Uh, the following three songs each provided the title for one of my due South stories, and for the most part were the soundtrack and at least partial inspiration for them. Thus I share. Because I can. Yes.

1. Song -- Sleater-Kinney, Turn It On
Story -- Don't Say the Word
it's too warm
inside your hands
it's too hard
it's too good
it's just that when you touched me
i could not stand up
i fell into
i fell down

2. Song -- Iron & Wine, Weary Memory
Story -- A Box of Pictures
found your mittens behind a box of pictures
you would wear them before i brewed the tea
that's one memory i can easily conjure
a weary memory i can always see

3. Song -- Kasey Chambers, Not Pretty Enough
Story -- Right Through Me
i laugh, i feel, i make believe it's real
i fall, i freeze, i pray down on my knees
i hope, i stand, i take it like a man
i try as hard as i can

Also, the mood icon for this entry is cracking me up, for no particular reason.

I know the mood icon is cracking *me* up, for the particular reason that Fraser looks like a swarthy teenaged boy about six seconds away from sprouting greasy upper lip hair. Kinda how Dan Rydell looks a great portion of the time.

...but that might just be me.

Hee, no, that might be part of it. I think the bit is the expression, though -- it's very "Oh, yeah, I'm smooth."

[runpunkrun]

Oh definitely some of that going on. It doesn't even really look like Fraser from that angle.

paul, right there, is thinking, "Damn, I'm pretty." Only actually, Paul? What you are is a big big dork. But yes. Pretty as well.

and yay! songs! thank you!

*giggles* Maybe that's it -- it does seem to be more Paul than Fraser at least. The expression is just ... heee. Smooooooth.
