So, where do you all stand on songfics and fanmixes?

A couple months ago (while procrastinating on the paper I posted a few days ago) I accidentally committed songfic, which seems a little embarrassing. But then I thought about it and I think that in the BSG fandom, songfic is really canonically sanctioned. After all, they wrote in Watchtower, so we should be able to write modern songs into the universe, too. Right? I don't know. Read the fic if you like, and see what you think.

Taking Chances
Takes place after the poof. No spoilers other than the poof.

In terms of fanmixes, I know I asked last week about song lyrics for icons, but what can I say? I like music. I thought I'd start us out with the celebrity iTunes playlists that Katee and Jamie each posted about a year and a half ago. Playlist titles and covers are mine.

(continued)
17. She's Always a Woman to Me - Billy Joel
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

18. Face in the Crowd - The Nylons
Back when you were young did you love someone?
Was it a heartbreak hit and run?
Did he leave you empty handed, alone and stranded
Pickin’ up the pieces one by one?

So you go with an air of the devil may care
You swear you’ll never cry again
Your little masquerade is just a game you play
You’re playin’ but you’ll never win

19. Time Heals Everything - Bernadette Peters
Though it's hell that I'm going through
Some Tuesday,Thursday
April,August
Autumn, Winter
Next year, Some year
Time heals everything
Time heals everything
But loving you

20. Change Your Mind - All-American Rejects
Don't solve the problem,
when danger is better.
Far away where you stock them
In cages that tether

And all the bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.

21. The Walk - Imogen Heap
It's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, Yeah,
No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.

22. I Want You - Storm Large (apologies for the poor quality, there's no professional recording of this song)
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said to me I do believe youre dying
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

23. Either Way - Guster
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you

24. Don't Come Home - Christian Kane
I just called to tell you
That I was wrong and you were on my mind.
If you want I'll leave you alone right now
'Cause I know why you're saying, why you're saying
Don't come home

25. Please - The Nylons
Please, don't leave this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together

26. Lovers in a Dangerous Time - Bruce Cockburn
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time

27. The Word of Your Body - Spring Awakening
Oh, I'm gonna be wounded
Oh, I'm gonna be your wound
Oh, I'm gonna bruise you
Oh, you're gonna be my bruise

28. Along Love's Highway - David Benoit
One more star falling from the heavens
Breaks my heart that she won't return
Torn apart 'cause I rolled a seven
And the walls came tumbling down

Crystal dreams shatter into pieces
Dead end streets where there's nowhere to turn
all my schemes, not a one convinces
Now she's gone forever

29. Even Angels Fall - Jessica Riddle
You've found hope
You've found faith,
Found how fast she could take it away.
Found true love,
Lost your heart.
Now you don't know who you are.

She made it easy,
Made it free,
Made you hurt til you couldn't see.
Sometimes it stops,
Sometimes it flows,
But baby that is how love goes.

30. Years From Now - William Paul Michals
Too many years from now, will I remember how you look?
Will it seem as if this happened in a book?
Still tonight, I wish the memory of leaving you were far behind, if only life were kind
and made it years from now

31. I Will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
