Congrats on another great chapter of Ship Happens. I also really loved iDSTC... and I actually just heard a song about a FWB situation called Slip by Nicotine Dolls that I thought fit that song so well... it literally feels like it written for them
"Stop playing blind, we trip every time, throw away all those badly written lines like it’s all a mistake, I’m on my way but I won't spend the night (yeah right)"
"Will you hold me til the rooms fills up with consequences that kill like a drug we say we’ll try just to get high on what feels good"
"What if it all goes wrong? What if I fall in love with you and... if we slip then into your arms I’ll fall and kick this habit that harms all. All of the missed nights in your bedroom where we played pretend who’s the one to kill the light"
Go listen to it for reeaaal.
Anon, you bloody made my day, thank you so so so so so SOOOOOOO much for reaching out!! And yes, you're so right! I just listened to the song and In my head I was seeing everything play out like a movie between them and the lyrics were just perfect. If someone could turn IDSTC into a movie, this would be the song that was playing as it like did a montage of their moments.
"What if it all goes wrong?
What if i fall in love with you and
If we slip into your arms
I’ll fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed the nights in your bedroom,
Who’s the one to kill the light,
If we slip I’ll give it up for you"
Like what the heck killing the light? It's like it was written for Carly! And what if it all goes wrong and I fall in love with you? This is legit what happens. Anon I can't, it's too crazy perfect!
Actually, while we're on songs! Another one that I really loved for them in this story (there are so many good ones though really) is Christmas lights by Zach Seabough. If you haven't heard that yet go listen, but I see that being Freddie's pov.
At least that means I'm something to you"
"So, you go, knowing I'll follow
The little bit of hope you leave me for tomorrow
It's a sharp pill, it's hard to swallow
But if it helps take off the edge, and fill the hollow
Hole inside my chest that's shaped like you
No one fits the mould, so what's the use?"
Gah! Let me know what you think! 😘
