The ever lovely @veritasrose made this fantastic playlist for Biker and the Songbird. While writing Take Me Back, I kept hearing songs that made me think of Jaskier and the Wolf Pack and so I thought I’d try my own hand at a songlist.
Many of the songs fit multiple chapters so instead they’re broken up by the character(s), though I did try to put them in the order they occur.
Here’s the playlist in order, alternatively I have them broken down by character under the cut.

Head Right by Wilderado (Suggested by VeritasRose)
Addam Saint Nicholas is attractive in a warm way; with his honey-blonde hair and his wine-colored eyes and his soft voice and his amber and sandalwood smell and the way you just know at first glance this guy gives the best hugs.
Brand Saint John is attractive in a cold way; with his black hair and his icy blue eyes and his steely gaze and his sharp tongue and his hard edges and the way you just know at first glance not to fuck with this guy.
Opposite ends of a spectrum, with Rune falling directly in the middle. In more ways than one.

Addam squeezed his hand until he got Brand’s attention. When
Brand glanced at him, finally, Addam said, “Because I protect him too.” Understanding passed between them.
