"Is it truly so wrong, to want something? Something that belongs to no one but us?"

Commissioned this stunning piece from the amazing Nunchifox, based on my fanfiction “Chains of Light and Shadow”. My Martanis soul is SCREAMING ❤️

Hi! This astridleongs from ao3. I think I mentioned in a comment that I made a playlist for Chains of Shadow and Light. I'm just dropping the link here:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0fx90fBPt9YfqFVykDRbMd?si=NCUmkQ_aQra7cCXHrhpfeQ&pi=ID1q4Q5GTQSlp

Let me know if the link works, if you listen to it. There's a likely chance that more songs could be added to it. If you had any suggestions, I would be happy to add them!

First of all, thank you so much - not just for sharing, but for creating a specific playlist for my fic. It honestly blows my mind that someone loves this story enough to do that. As a ’90s girl, a playlist is still one of the greatest tokens of love, so THANK YOU ❤️

Also, I loved the music! I actually listened to the playlist while writing/editing yesterday. We clearly have the SAME taste - no joke, 2/3 of the tracks were already in my own playlist. And some of your additions were genius (like “Mary Magdalene” by FKA twigs?? *insert ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ meme*).

As for suggested additions - well, some would be spoilers so I’ll keep those to myself for now - but I’ve had “Heartburn” by Wafia on repeat for the latest chapter, plus a fair amount of Sufjan Stevens.

A few songs I’ve been listening to while daydreaming about the story:

• “The Abyss” – The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey

• “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT” – Elley Duhé (you can probably guess which chapter, eheh)

• “War of Hearts” – Ruelle

• “Breath of Life” – Florence + The Machine

• “The Great War” – Taylor Swift

For Mairon’s POV, these always hit:

• “I Found” – Amber Run

• “I’ll Be Good” – Jaymes Young

• “Black Friday” – Tom Odell

Aaaand the most unhinged pick for my not-quite-throuple-but-secret-third-thing has to be “Fill the Void” by The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp. Wild choice, but if the shoe fits…

You can find my playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7bHkidlQCNPH0I91RtOrIr?si=Hht-gziwR4WmNJF4MYRu2g&pi=A4Vm44DwSCWQ0

Again, thank you so much for this - I’ll definitely keep listening to your playlist!! 🖤🖤
