Fic: In the Forests of the Night - Chapter Ten (Part One)

Okay. Whew. Here it is. This week seems like it's been nothing but writing, but I'm pretty happy with the result. I've been playing in this sandbox for more than six months now, and I want to say thank you to everyone who has commented thus far-- your encouragement helps keep me going! I'm sad to see the end of this story, but I'm excited to hear what ya'll think of it. So, without further ado:

Burn the Forest, Leave the Trees: A Love's the Burning Boy/In the Forests of the Night Soundtrack

Burn the Forest, Leave the Trees
A Love’s the Burning Boy/In the Forests of the Night Heroes Fanmix Soundtrack


These are a few songs that motivated and inspired me over the past six months as I worked on this epic. Most of these songs served as the soundtrack for certain scenes in the story. I tend to think of my stories cinematically, hence why all the scenes have music under them in my head. I’ve listed the scene that each track goes with so you can listen as you read if you want! There are also two bonus tracks that are more traditionally fanmixy: they convey ideas and sentiments that meshed with a particular character’s state of mind.


WARNING: The descriptions for this fanmix contain spoilers for both stories. So read the stories first. Then go back and re-read with the soundtrack!
