I still can't believe it, but I finished a 300k words Ghost fic šµāš«
This is the biggest thing I've ever written in my entire life. Initially planned as short 10k words dark story, it evolved to this huge world-building to include co-existence of Papas and TF, character development and all that insane journey.
It's been insane, I've been absolutely possessed by this story, writing everywhere and all the time. Lunch breaks, bus commute, line in a store - you name it.
Anyway, living the link here one last time, if someone is interested. Mind the tags!
Female Reader/Frater Imperator, a lot of Perpetua (damn, I love that man), some smut, abusive and manipulative relationship in the first quarter of the fic, but evolving feelings and some fluff eventually
Main artists and songs that were listened to in a loop while writing and coming up with plot ideas of Spillways of your soul
Posting it like this instead of a Spotify playlist, because my ass wanted to be able to say something about specific songs if I felt like itš
It might be a post more for myself lol, but maybe someone would be curious to check it out!
Starting strong, as the title of the fic suggest, it's of course Ghost - Spillways, but also to a large extend this slowed version of the song
Speaking of Ghost, of course a lot of Ghost songs were huge inspiration, especially those named in the fic as important to the plot. But a lot of writing was done specifically to Skeleta and Ceremony and Devotion albums looped on repeat.
A lot of things for the MC and her relationship with the twins were written and planned to a large chunk of Aurora songs:
AURORA - Churchyard
AURORA - Heathens
AURORA - Blood In The Wine
AURORA - Running With The Wolves
AURORA - A Temporary High
AURORA - Some Type Of Skin
Another big influence came from the songs of the band Auri:
Auri - I Hope Your World Is Kind
Auri - Night 13
Auri - The Space Between
Auri - Pearl Diving
Auri - Fireside Bard (the last scene between Aether and Tobias was fully planned and written to this song)
Auri - The Duty of Dust
Almost everything for Perpetua was planned to the songs of Lord of the Lost to the point that now everything by this band (which I really really like) I now associate with Perpetua.
Lord of the Lost - Blood for Blood
Lord of the Lost - Loreley
Lord of the Lost - For They Know What They Do
Lord of the Lost - Priest
Lord of the Lost, Within Temptation - Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness
Lord of the Lost - The Things We Do For Love
Lord of the Lost - Till Death Us Do Part
Lord of the Lost - One Of Us Will Be Next
Lord of the Lost - One Last Song
Lord of the Lost - See You Soon
Copia and Perpetua relationship and some main plot turns were mainly planned and written to these:
Zhadan i Sobaky - ŠŠµŃŃŠ¾
Zhadan i Sobaky - ŠŠ°ŃŠ°Ń
Zhadan i Sobaky - Outro
Mortemia - What Else Is There?
Mortemia - KrƄkevisa
HƤmatom, The Hardkiss - Children of the Sun
Dynazty - My Darkest Hour
Dynazty - Natural Born Killer
A few other songs that were not always a particular inspiration for specific character OR were only used for one particular chapter or scene:
Within Temptation, Jerry Heil - Sing Like A Siren
Okean Elzy - Favourite Sound
Nightwish - Edema Ruh
Deine Lakaien - Farewell (Chapter 74)
Mikelangelo Loconte, Florent Mothe - Vivre a en crever (Chapter 46)
Tobias Forge - Lucifer & Lucia
Subvision - Scenario
Avatar - Bloody Angel
Dean Lewis - How Do I Say Goodbye (Chapter 73, even though the song is really not about that)
Chord Overstreet - Hold On (Chapter 73 largely)
Go_A - ŠŠ¾Š±ŃŠøŠ¼ Š»ŃŠ“ŃŠ¼ Š½Š° Š·Š“Š¾ŃŠ¾Š²'Ń (the whole Solstice idea came from this song)
