Summary:
“Does B have extra memories?”
“I remember dying,” Behrad says quietly. “Both times.”
Everyone is quiet.
“But you don’t remember anything else about being the other version of you?” Ava says after a moment.
“No,” Behrad says. “Just that.”
or, Behrad Tarazi, stuck halfway between life and death.

“Wait, wait, wait,” Ava says, waving a hand. “Didn't you guys just do ramadan?”
“When we were on the Waverider we did 2021 Ramadan, which was in the spring. But now that we're home we have to do 2045 Ramadan, which is in July," Behrad replies.
“Damn,” Nate says, sucking in air. “That sucks.”

Summary:
“It was Atropos,” he whispers after a moment.
“Atropos?” Astra frowns.
“Yeah,” Behrad sighs. “She killed me. I don't know if you ever knew that.”
OKAY here is my explanation for spamreblogging from you and also @/flashsidewayss (who i couln't find asks for or i would not send a weird joint ask) i read all of both of your psych fic bc that show makes me feel insane and it is like. no one else is doing it like you. also ive been listening to the playlist for ceceverse and like. we need the annotated version. anyway im approaching character limit and also realizing this is deranged and unintelligable but the gist is. i appreciate your contri
HELLO. many months later here is the annotated ceceverse playlist!!!
im gonna put a text break bc this will be LONG. sorry. purple text is stuff @flashsidewayss had to say. this will justbe some misc. notes and thoughts on the songs and some will have lyrics that i associate etc. hope u enjoy
Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel
DUHHH!!! it’s THE ceceverse song. shawn named her after this song
The Room Is Filled With People That Love You - Foresight
this is one of my favs. fantastic song first of all but also SO ceceverse. like. life’s a precious thing!
Seven - Sleeping At Last
seven by sal you mean the most shawn song in the world. no lyrics to mention here bc. Well. all of them.
the enneagram songs are @thatchedrooftavern’s domain and he agrees that this is a major shawn song
"let me tell you another secret of the trade: it feels like sinking when i'm standing in one place" and the farewell and welcome home parade bit
Growing Pains - COIN
again. deeply a shawn song.
This song is a little applicable to shawn just in general and also shawn and gus’ relationship which is one of the like. Pillars of this au.
Six - Sleeping At Last
another @thatchedrooftavern song, more of a gus song
"when everything feels heavy, I've learned to travel light" its the struggle of being around for those you love while also meeting your needs for activity and adventure
Vines - Hippo Campus
Big fan of this album! Some lyrics to mention would be “Failed by design, slow your pace down to mine / Watch my back, heave a sigh / Keep it safe, make it right”
10 Steps - Christian Leave
I can’t really find the words for my thoughts on this song, but the chorus is sort of just about how people can change so much during such time, and what you want with your life could be completely different from what it started as
I Can’t Handle Change - Roar
sorry about this one! self-explainable i think
Seventeen Going Under - Sam Fender
shawn spencer… yeah
with that relationship with his father? please. no notes
Sparks - Coldplay
this song is supposedly about romantic love but its very applicable to a parent-child relationship i feel
“But I promise you this / I'll always look out for you / Yeah, that's what I'll do” etc etc
Nine Lives - Odie Leigh
“Cats have nine lives, I have two / I live one for me, and one for you”
the annotation on genius.com for this first verse is this, “At minimum, I live for both of us but, preferably, I will fade into what I can be for you, an extension of you. I am the pencil you hold, the car you drive, the phone you stare at. It’s intoxicating to exist within other people. It’s hardly “sacrificing” myself to this person, but being able to hide within them.”
Together - The Raconteurs
for me this is The shawngus ceceverse song.
another album i love. @flashsidewayss once had to loan me $9 so i could buy the cd. no specific lyrics to mention.
The Book of Love - The Magnetic Fields
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH
^get help. in all seriousness yeah. ceceverse ass song. in the literal sense im pretty sure we’ve mentioned in a few published fics about how cece is a big reader, and they do lots of reading together despite shawn not being one.
Rain - Bishop Allen
if its ever gonna get any better its gotta get worse for a day!
Coming of Age - Foster The People
lots of lyrics to mention here…. “You know I try to live without regrets/I'm always moving forward and not looking back/But I tend to leave a trail of dead while I'm moving ahead”
“I seem to hurt the people that care the most” etc etc “And even when I'm wrong, I tend to think I'm right”
Clay Pigeons - Michael Cera
deeply ceceverse vibes
have an attachment to this song spanning back to an older fic named after it… the third verse in specific
“I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know/I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go/Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again…”
Way It Goes - Hippo Campus
and so we return to this album… there's a lot we can’t control but lord knows we’re trying huh
A World Alone - Lorde
this song is quite a ceceverse song and also quite a shawngus song in general. something something finding peace in someone who understands you fully and loves you
You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac
an og ceceverse song! i listened to this song a lot right when i was first dreaming up this au. this song is super cece and shawn and also a little shules tbh i think its on my shules playlist also
The Gold - Manchester Orchestra, Phoebe Bridgers
second verse here… shawn ceceverse to me
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
yeah. “Can the child within my heart rise above?/Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?/Can I handle the seasons of my life?”
i also listened to this song a lot while writing this fic
Ahora Te Puedes Marchar - Luis Miguel
this one is just fun idk. a fun interlude
A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (aprox) - The Yellow Dress
this song has always to me felt very much like a song you’d sing to a child to make them laugh. The chorus is so silly but closing it with “Oh, but mainly losing you/These days, mainly losing you” is. well. yeah
the repeated assurances that things will always be okay, even if bad things happen
More Like You - Orla Gartland
this song is far more applicable to things we haven’t posted, and more applies to cece as she gets older. her dad is her best friend, and she wants to be just like him when she grows up
100 Strangers - Circa Waves
this whole song is very shawn ceceverse
Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac
i could write a LOT about this song however. a specific to mention is that the bridge most likely refers to when Stevie Nicks married her late friend’s husband to help him raise his child. their marriage wasn’t long because they weren’t in love exactly but they both loved the child, which was enough at the time
Caught in the Middle - Paramore
the bridge in this one. etc. a shawn song
For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - Simon & Garfunkel
AUHGHGHGHHGHGHGH
apparently Paul Simon has said that this song isn’t about a real person, but about more of a belief.
Green Light - Lorde
i think a lot about how the color green isn’t representing a negative in this song, but is more representing like a fresh start and something new
All My Little Words - The Magnetic Fields
AUHGUFGHUFDGHKDFGJFDSLJDFSKDLG
this song is here as more of a reference to shawn’s feelings on his own relationship with his father irt his relationship with his daughter. i don’t know how much we’ve written about this in posted fics but he does have a deep at the very least subconscious fear that he will lose his kid the same way his father “lost” him. i have more to say on this if anyone wants to hear it
Last Kiss - Taylor Swift
“So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep” this line specifically we thought about a lot when writing this one for obvious reasons
“And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day/And something reminds you you wish you had stayed/You can plan for a change in the weather and time/But I never planned on you changing your mind”
this song is here in reference to shawn and gus obviously. gus has really conflicted feelings about the years shawn spent away especially in this au, which we dig into a little in that fic and a few others
Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift
self-explanatory i feel
Graceland Too - Phoebe Bridgers
just like. i dont know. really really loving someone that you would do anything for them, no matter what. this song is also a little about loving people who have a hard time loving themselves so read into that if you wish
August (Acoustic) - flipturn
August regular is SO psych. August (acoustic) is SO ceceverse
Pluto - Sleeping At Last
insert pluto joke here. this song is here as a reference to shawn realizing that. it takes a village and the people around him are there to help and he should let them
Clean Slate - The Mountain Goats
move on and move out, yk? a very shawn song i think
The Wolf - The Crane Wives
sent to me by the lovely @thatchedrooftavern
shawngus lowkey. “can it be easy for once?/'Cause I’m no good at being kind to myself/Or anyone”
“I am a falling axe/I am a sharpened knife/I am a poison asp/I am a risk to your life”
Daydreamer - The Crane Wives
this song is a lot about like. societal norms and expectations
“How many times can someone start again?”
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For - U2
Like why would you say this to me
generally a very shawn song
A Month Or Two - Odie Leigh
idk. give it some time!
long story short - Taylor Swift
probably a little shawngus. also shawn and cece generally. the chorus etc
"approaching character limit" more like reaching it. I APPRECIATE both of your contributions to the world and on ao3 it said to talk on tumblr and i was like. i can do that! i am not trying to be weird although now that i have sent two rambling asks i feel like i might be. best wishes though !!!!
IM SO AWARE I GOT THIS ASK IN LIKE MARCH. so sorry friend. i've been busy BUT. annotated playlist post dropping SOON aka probably today. thank u sm for the kind words etc we appreciate u. i shall reply to ur first ask w the annotated playlist when its done!!!!

Summary:
“That’s just-” John sighs. “That’s just how things are!”
Zari frowns. “Lighting a pickpocket’s shirt on fire is just ‘how things are?’” she quotes.
Zari turns a little more, and she can see the kids, Behrad, Astra, and Spooner chasing each other around, ankle deep in the creek. She can hear them laughing and yelping as they splash at each other.
or, summer in the Fire Nation is hot. Zari has some conversations.

or, the Legends drive from Arkansas to Chicago. Worst road trip ever.

Summary:
Behrad takes the card, squints at the address printed on it. “Okay,” he shrugs. Why not? He could use the fresh air, and who’s he to say no to a pretty girl?
or, between group catastrophes, Behrad and Astra go for a walk.
(or, between the finale and the morning)
