quotes from the fic paired with lyrics under the cut
1. A Long Way Past the Past - Fleet Foxes
And I can't let go of a lot I've left
I'm holding nothing but what I kept
And it all got dimmer each passing step
Now she watched the peerage laugh and dance all around her and felt utterly, completely, alone.
2. Walking on a String - Matt Berninger and Phoebe Bridgers
I knew that I was dead before you touched my lonesome skin
You're never running out of ways to warm your way back in […]
To my lonesome soul and take it
His hand is still as hot as a brand when it envelops hers, and she can barely stand to look at him as he leads her out to the center of the dancers.
3. The Dress Looks Nice On You - Sufjan Stevens
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
And I think the dress looks nice on you
In my dreams you are clothed in starlight, she remembered him saying, and bit her lip as she raked her eyes over this newest dress which made her look as if she were clothed in the stars themselves.
Interlude I: Patience - The Lumineers
4. The Paper Kites - Bloom
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you
Shall I write it in a letter?
Caroline, […] I sent you the gown because I admire you greatly, and wanted, selfishly, not just to please you but to see you in something that I felt would do your beauty justice.
5. From Eden - Hozier
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know […]
there's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Klaus— […] You say all of these things and your eyes are so kind and your hands scorch me, your touch scorches me— I hate you half of the time and then you go and do something ridiculous like send the North’s armies for me, all for me, like that’s something a new king can do, you’re so ridiculous and I can’t stop thinking about you.
Interlude II: The Golden Hour – Louie Zong
6. No One’s Gonna Love You – Band of Horses
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down hard
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
And now here she found herself, on the eve of her twenty-third birthday, traitorously hoping that there would be a large box anonymously delivered to her rooms before it was time to go down to the ball being thrown for her birthday.
7. For You to Be Here - Tom Rosenthal
Mama says it's gonna get cold in the night
But if I picture you then I'll be alright
I am ready, I am ready for you to be here
Finally, as the night winds down and she thinks that Klaus will stay away from her for the whole ball, he appears like some stately vision before her.
8. Ends of the Earth - Lord Huron
Please don't say I'm goin' alone
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
“Why not?” She demanded, in a tone harsher than she meant, because he had never denied her anything before— she had never asked for anything before, he had always given freely to her what was his to give.
9. Transatlantique - Beirut
Midnight surrounds you with moonlight makes you proud
Last night oh, we were running around, oh-oh
All along, I was your home
Klaus went utterly still, eyes searching her face, and then he laughed, the sound a little strangled, a little unpracticed, and as she dragged him down to kiss him she thought that it was okay he was a little unused to joy.
