I'm also curious, you have a playlist for Blurred and Perfect? what other songs are on there?

Okay, here we go:

Songs about Johannes:

Monster - Hands like houses

Hurts like hell - Hands like houses

Bloodrush - Hands like houses

Sharks love blood - Blind Channel

Alter ego - Minus one

Punasel - Robin Packalen

Addiction - The Blanko

Nää yöt ei anna armoo - Kaija Koo

Helvetistä Edeniin - Dilemma

Songs about Jonttu:

En haluu kuolla Helsinkiin - Jokrates

Tämä kaupunki - kls.

Ensi elämässä - Mikael Laurent

Tuhoaisti - Kuumaa

Buily to fall apart - Robin Packalen

Riippuvainen - Lauri Haav

My Demons - Starset

A lesson in grief - NateWantsToBattle

Stranger - Hands like houses

Songs about Aarni:

Amen - Robin Packalen

Songs about the scene TM:

Lips - Joker out

Now, Aarni having less songs is because of teo reasons. 1) he has less pov scenes in the fic and 2) his character was always the clearest in my mind and easiest to vibe with. He carries that same love for the world STASU!Johannes has, so writing his scenes came easy. However, Amen is a very important song, because in the end it is about corruption of something holy (and also love).

I love the parallel between Jonttu and Johannes here. Both have so many songs about needing saving, needing help, but with such different styles. Now Jonttu’s playlist ends in a more lighthearted perspective on his story with Stranger being about leaving your old self behind. Johannes’ ends on a hopeful note with Helvetistä Edeniin about finding your way out of darkness. Still, don’t miss out on My Demons and Tuhoaisti about getting corrupted and Punasel and Sharks love blood about wanting someone to a destructive decree.

Both have songs about addiction, and that is intentional. It is in favt one of the most major themes of the story, and is very visible throughout its setting.

I could talk about each song for days and days in regards to why they’re here, but I’ll let the lyrics do the rest of the talking for now.

Chapter 10. Panic alarm

Ignoring what is around you won't make it dissappear. You just better hope you're ready to face it when it catches up to you.

Chapter 12. Protective.

What runs through the head of someone when they decide to protect another? What do they think of, when the other is in danger?

Chapter 17. Because they can.

"No one around here is around here if they’re an open book. They leave, because they can, because it’s better."

And with that, Blurred and perfect is complete! It has been a joy and a great difficulty to write it all, but I am very happy with it. Thank you for all your comments and love for this story <3 <3 <3

And so it goes. The day after I finished writing Blurred and perfect I figured out the plot for the next hotband slowburn I’ll write

Chapter 15. Maneater.

This is what it was always meant to come down to, wasn't it? There was never anything else.

Blurred and perfect

Chapter 13. The first day

The idea of new beginnings is often far more romantic than the reality. The reality is messy and always tied to the past in a horrible way.

Chapter 9. A stranger.

Once the facade of normalcy crumbles, even the people you are most familiar with become strangers.
