#I listened to so much Lana Del Rey and Halsey writing this

Here are some songs that I think would match Ragatha/Miss Agatha and Jax/Jackson in your AU!!!
Ragatha/Miss Agatha:
- the grudge by Olivia Rodrigo would work with her and her terrible fiancé, especially after what he did to her baby. I think it could also work with her and Jax after she slapped him.
- Diet Mountain Dew by Lana Del Rey would work both Ragatha and Jax. It fits their will-they-won’t-they narrative.
- Bigger Than The Whole Sky by Taylor Swift. This song reminds me a lot of Agatha’s miscarriage and the horrible feelings that came with it. It’s the moment where everything in her world fell apart.
- Lose You To Love Me and Single Soon by Selena Gomez. The first one would work with Ragatha’s regrets over her past relationship with her ex, while the second one highlights a happier ending for her. It’s her new start with Jax, specifically her getting ready for the dance with him!
Jax/Jackson:
- Dancing With Our Hands Tied by Taylor Swift. I feel like this matches the dance scene, before everything fell apart of course.
- teenage dream by Olivia Rodrigo. This song would probably reflect the aftermath of Agatha’s coma and all the pain Jackson went through after finding out. Although this isn’t canon to the story, I feel like this would fit his 18th birthday party without her.
- Love You Down by Ready For The World. This song would resonate a lot with Jackson’s one-sided crush on his brother’s teacher and the dreams he had about her.
- Colors by Halsey would definitely work with Jax’s dreams about his past. It summarizes all the people and all the feelings he ignores to avoid feeling anything.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy these choices :D. Your AU has been one of my favorite TADC AUs I ever read. The amount of emotion, drama, and romance was captured perfectly without feeling OOC. Keep up the great work Livi!
AAAAAA THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 💕
I don't know why I didn't think of adding more Taylor and Olivia songs to my playlist, but I actually had those two Selena songs somewhere in the back of my head while making it!
I'll listen to all the songs when I get home from school in 10+ hours (it's past 1 AM here lol)
I would also like to take this opportunity to explain some of the Korean songs on the playlist:
Prologue by aespa is about feeling immature and not ready for adulthood, to me it fits Agatha perfectly because even though she has been an adult for some time, she still has the heart of a teenager and has trouble dealing with some adult issues
Checkmate by Xdinary Heroes is about feeling confident because of a won game, I relate this song to the moment when Jax's attack on Ragatha during their stage play was successful
The Ugly Duckling by YENA, well I interpreted the song's lyrics much differently than it should be interpreted, I relate it to Agatha's miscarriage due to the lyrics being about trying to move on after a horrible event and there is also a child mentioned so-
War of Hormone by BTS is a very controversial song which that has been accused of considering girls playthings for boys, basically Jax's attitude towards Ragatha before she almost abstracted
Doll by (G)I-DLE, the title says it all, it perfectly describes how Ragatha was treated by Jax and how she's fed up with it
Quarter Life by TOMORROW X TOGETHER is another song about finding adult life kind of hard and trying to go on despite you already screwed up a lot of things, every time I hear this song I think of Jax and how he feels after remembering his former life
Lonely Boy by TOMORROW X TOGETHER is a breakup song that in my opinion fits how Jackson felt after losing Agatha
Happily Ever After by TOMORROW X TOGETHER (yeah, it's my fav boysband lol) is the song I had in mind while writing the last chapter, even though it's upbeat it tells about how cruel life is and that there's actually no happy end, just like in the story :D
And thank you for enjoying my AU! At first I thought it would fail as it has no drawings (I'm really terrible at drawing + I can't do digital art) and focuses more on writing, but the amount of support and love my work has received in these few months makes me incredibly happy 🥺

lyrics iii
“LOST BOY” by Troye Sivan
I fell in love with this album circa 2016, and overplayed it so much that I lost interest but now it’s come back around to nostalgia??
My favorite lines:
“So what are you waiting for? Cause someone could love you more I'm just a lost boy, lost boy I say I wanna settle down Build your hopes up like a tower I'm giving you the run around I'm just a lost boy Not ready to be found.”
“Flightless Bird, American Mouth” by Iron & Wine
Twilight did this. We allllllllll know Twilight did this. I’ve had unrealistic standards for romance ever since Twilight entered my life in the 6th grade. I bit a kid once.
Anyway, lines:
“I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your straight light eyes Wide on my plastic toys Then when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map And called for you everywhere Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Or lost you? American mouth Big bill looming.”
“Carolina” by Eric Church
Eric Church wrote this song about North Carolina. Well, I’m a South Carolina girl so… and secretly the biggest hick. 👀 Honestly, this song puts me at ease and helps me reconnect with my roots when I’m feeling too far up in the clouds.
I’ve got two favorite sets of lines from this song:
“Sometimes I grow weary From going' all the time I love to take a minute Let you ease my mind I'd love to see my mama Maybe go for a drive But I got to play the star in some little town again tonight Don't get me wrong I love what I do It's just another song about missing you”
And, then, of course the chorus:
“Like a phone call from my baby Saying honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy Just like the song of a siren song Oh Carolina Carolina[x2] Keep calling me home”
“Easier Than Lying”
I loved that this song came up on shuffle. After my ex died, I had to come to terms with how bad the relationship was and honestly Halsey came out with this banger album full of rage and hurt and anger and realizations about the world. It really gave me clarity.
Especially because of this line,
“I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed 'Cause I'll hang myself if you give me rope I lost all my faith and lost all hope That everything means anything at all One eye broken and one eye bruised 'Cause I gave myself away for you You liar, you don't love me too It's easy for you after all Losing you is easier than Lying to myself that you love me.”
I said that last part like a manifestation, bruh. Over and over again.
“Peppers” by Lana Del Rey
This is a new song on my playlist largely due to TikTok, but I was thinking about some bad past behavior and feeling a little shame for it and I heard the lyrics to this song and it settled the religious guilt/trauma.
“Me and my boyfriend listen to the Chili Peppers We write hit songs without trying like all the time, all the time I take off all my clothes, dance naked for the neighbors I'm like, "Fuck it, gonna give a show," I open up the blinds I threw caution to the wind, get onto the bike Take a minute to yourself, skinny-dip in my mind I'm in love”
“Down” by Jason Walker
This song comes from The Vampire Diaries soundtrack. I don’t know what episode, but probably one horribly devastating where Damon is the sassy King that he is.
But I’ve probably cried to this song seven times in my life.
“Not ready to let go 'Cause then I'll never know What I could be missing I'm missing way too much So when do I give up what I was wishing for I shot for the sky I'm stuck on the ground So why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down I thought I could fly, so why did I drown? I'll never know why it's coming down, down, down.”
Bonus: “Echo” by Jason Walker !!! It’s even sadder.
“Easy (with Noah Cyrus” by Demi Lovato
Wherever you stand with Demi, she has a beautiful voice. I personally think she’s been through more than a person should ever have to and that she’s reacting to her trauma and the media needs to stay off her back…but I digress.
Additionally, if you’re not following NOAH CYRUS please do. Her voice is lovely and her music is heart-wrenching.
Lines:
“The hardest part of leaving is accepting the reasons That somehow we keep repeating endlessly The hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing back (Ooh, ooh-oh-oh-oh) From showing you how hard it is for me (Hard it is for me) To make it look so easy.”
“Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac
If you’ve never seen that meme where it’s like, “One day you’re a child, and then the next the lyrics to “Landslide” finally resonate and you’re crying in a car wash” well….here we are.
This song has literally gotten me through so much. It provides some deep clarity if you’re receptive to the message.
“I took my love, I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills 'Til the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”
“Lookalike” by Conan Grey
My shuffle is clearly refusing to give me any happy songs, and I desperately want to be in a better mood. THAT BEING SAID, Conan is amazing.
Lines:
“And I'll admit that I sometimes, maybe, might Think about you at night, well, almost every night No matter how I try to hide And erase you from my mind I'm dying To find a lookalike 'Cause when you look in his eyes Hope you think of mine And when you look at that smile Hope I cross your mind I hope in your head You see me instead 'Cause you've been in mine every day since then Maybe it's time to find a lookalike No, I can't lie I need a lookalike”
😭😭😭😭
“Hard Feelings/Loveless” by Lorde
THANK WHATEVER HIGHER POWER THAT THIS WAS THE NEXT SONG. If you haven’t been entranced by Melodrama yet, what are you waiting for? “Green Light”, “Writer in the Dark”, “Sober II”—I OWE IT ON VINYL.
So, this song is technically two songs. It had a shift, which I absolutely love, so we’re going to do two sets here.
Set one:
“'Cause I remember the rush when forever was us Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost Well, I guess I should go, yeah, I guess I should go Hard feelings These are what they call hard feelings of love When the sweet words and fevers All leave us right here in the cold Alone with the hard feelings of love God, I wish I believed ya When you told me this was my home”
I mean…she’s amazing.
And set two:
“We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S generation All fuckin' with our lover's heads, generation Bet you wanna rip my heart out Bet you wanna skip my calls now Well, guess what? I'd like that 'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out, lovers.”
Anddd that’s all.

What’s your favourite music genre and artist :)
Hi, I really love a great various deal of music.
I love classical music specially composed by Ludovico Enaudi (I went to a concert of him with my sister) I always listen to his music when writing for Bridgerton it adds so much fantasy of duels, horse riding, intense dancing <3 I also love songs from the 70's, 80' and 90's. my most beloved song is Take on me from Aha and Rock me Amadeus from Falco. I also like artists like Aurora, Melanie Martinez, Au/ra, Sigrid, Tate Mcrae, Lana del rey, Maddison Beer, Bastille, Halsey. I like a lot of songs, but not always the entire reportoire of an artist but those mentioned I almost love all their songs

Ashlynn Malia – “Dying To Miss Out” (Video Premiere)
Today is a great day to share the latest single and video from Ashlynn Malia called “Dying To Miss Out.” On this electric-charged new track that’s based on recent heartache, Malia channels her love for artists like Halsey and Lana Del Rey into her own eclectic mix of pop. Malia shared, “This song’s for those situations where I’d rather be literally anywhere than around the person I miss most, not because I don’t want to see them, but because of how badly I do want to see them despite how painful the interactions are.” The song comes from her highly anticipated debut LP, MALIA, that will be released on February 2nd via Jullian Records. I was also able to catch up with this talented artist for a brief interview below. Your new track “Dying To Miss Out” expresses a distinct internal conflict, between intense longing and clarity in knowing that giving into that longing wouldn’t be good for you. Did writing from this place help you process said conflict in any way? Writing this song definitely did help me process that conflict. Having it written helped me step outside of myself to view the issue from a new perspective. And on top of that, these lyrics are things that I have trouble saying out loud sometimes, so getting to record and sing them over and over again is really cathartic and healing. With MALIA putting a stamp on your “ethereal pop era,” how does this new single off the record help carve out that general vision on a sonic basis? Can you describe the writing process on a musical front? This single isn’t technically new, it came out over a year ago but I feel like writing it started the ethereal pop wave I’ve been riding ever since. Now that I have an entire project following that style, it seems only fitting that I include the song that inspired me to even explore it in the first place, hence “renewing” it with a music video, which I think it’s always deserved. With your record’s release being a few short weeks away, can you describe how you’re feeling in this anticipatory state? What are you most excited/nervous for listeners to hear? I am SO excited about this project. I have never been more proud of any release in my life. My team and I took some really fun creative risks for the album and there is definitely a wildcard in there – I won’t spoil too much but you’ll definitely hear it when you listen through. Overall, this record has the most distinct sense of identity out of all my projects. It sets the scene for how I’m going to continue exploring and evolving my sound. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/features/ashlynn-malia-dying-to-miss-out-video-premiere/

The Witching Hour (Tommy Shelby x Reader)
(Also available on ArchiveOfOurOwn: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25369792) There’s something special about that certain hour of the night, between midnight and three. It’s a feeling that comes to you every now and then, an overwhelming sensation of possibilities. Like anything can happen.
Maybe that’s why you feel strangely calm, knowing just who’s coming to see you. Actually, ‘calm’ isn’t quite right, it doesn’t match that singing in your veins, the magnetic tug of attraction that grows stronger and stronger with each passing minute, like your body can feel him approaching. No, calm isn’t exactly it, but there’s a degree of assurance that makes this feel fun instead of tense.
You know that he isn’t going to forget about you.
Thing is, this should be tense. Your husband ain’t there (and where he is, you don’t know, nor do you care) but he’d go fucking ballistic if he knew what was happening – what was about to happen.
Well, fuck him. You know he’s been screwing around behind your back for months. Maybe even longer. Well, two can play at that game, you’ll do far better than any two-bit whore or overeager showgirl.
No. Your catch is considerably more impressive.
The door swings open, silent as a ghost and you find yourself sitting up straighter, like a naughty kid in class.
Tommy Shelby walks into the room like he owns it, shutting the door with a firm click behind him. He’s already removed his coat at the door, but the signature cap is still firmly on, shadowing his face just so. But he’s staring right at you, twin rings of blue growing thinner as they skate up and down your body. He blinks once, slowly, those lashes dipping like a wing. You’ve admitted before to being terribly jealous of those eyelashes – you’re the one in showbusiness but those eyes of his put any movie star’s to shame.
You made sure to dress nicely for him, but now you wonder if you’ve overdone it. Your favourite (and most expensive) nightgown, the stockings you know he loves and a fucking string of pearls glistening around your throat. You thought it was a good idea at the time, but maybe you look ridiculous, like a kid playing dress up, playing at being an adult.
“Look at you,” Tommy rasps, startling you, both with the suddenness and how he always seems to know just what’s going through your head. “Very nice.”
He’s never effusive with compliments – he’s not much of a talker in general – but two words from him in that low, approving purr means more to you than a thousand gushing compliments from suck-ups and boot lickers you get in your line of work. You feel warmth bloom in your stomach and bite your lip to stop yourself from grinning like a fool.
“Thanks,” you say and Tommy steps further into the room, his tread slow and careful as a cat’s.
His hand reaches out and gently his fingers wrap around the pearls, tugging you gently to your feet. His mouth is warm as it meets yours, one hand tangling in your hair, angling your head while the other clicks the pearls between his fingers.
It’s a cliché, but kissing Tommy isn’t quite like kissing anyone else. For a man who is so hard to read as he is, like talking to a statue, he knows how to kiss with feeling. His teeth gently scrape your bottom lip, lips slightly chapped but firm and hungry against yours. He loves your mouth, but he likes to kiss your throat too. Letting a man like Tommy that close to your neck is nothing short of thrilling to you – it’s like baring it to a wolf.
But the best part of it is, you know how much he wants to do more.
If Tommy had his way, he’d lace your skin with love bites, so everyone would see them and know exactly who was fucking you. There would be no sneaking around, snatching these fleeting moments together, under the cover of darkness. And he wouldn’t be gone every morning after, he’d be there when you woke up.
If he had it his way, you’d be his.
But in a perverse way, you wonder if it’s exactly because you aren’t that he makes sure to treat you right. It’s not that you think that Tommy would ignore or mistreat you the moment he got a ring on your finger, but once that happened, he’d have won. Eventually, new things become familiar and the excitement disappears. What comes after isn’t bad – comfort, easiness – but you know Tommy. He craves excitement and danger more than any drug known to man. That your dear, darling bastard of a husband would kill (or try to) the both of you if you found out is like his birthday and Christmas come at once.
So Tommy lavishes you with ‘anonymous’ gifts, sneaks into your room whenever possible and fucks you until you see stars, because he know that it’s all he can do at present. And if he’s going to do those things, he’s fucking well going to do them properly.
The inconvenient problem that is your marriage, and having a husband who is too well-connected to quietly get rid of, is one you and Tommy have talked about before, but Tommy’s never given you anything definite to pin your hopes on. That’s not his way. All he keeps saying over and over is, “When he’s gone.”
The words always send a little thrill down your back. It’s like he’s casting a spell by saying it, weaving it together to once again bend the world to his will. It’s well-known that Tommy Shelby tends to get what he wants, eventually.
“Oi,” Tommy says quietly, giving your earlobe a little nip. "Look at me."
You obey – mostly because it’s not as if looking at him is some great chore. You only do as he says when you fancy it, something you know he finds both amusing and infuriating. A potent mix. He smirks and lets go of you, taking a step back.
Carefully, like he’s putting on a performance for you, he begins to remove his clothing. First the hat, placed on the table. Then he takes off his jacket, and you see his pocket watch and chain, winking in the dim lights, a slash of gold in a sea of coal black. You find yourself watching him hungrily, tracing a fingertip over your lip where he bit you. Even the sight of his forearms, revealed beneath rolled-up sleeves, is enough to fan the flames of urgency you feel when you look at him and the distance between you feels increasingly unacceptable.
“Tommy-“
“Mm-mm. Stay there,” he says, pointing a finger at you as he takes his time undressing, his smirk more pronounced now. As serious as he is, he’s a dreadful tease.
You scoff but know he’ll just make you wait longer if you don’t comply, so you shift impatiently on stockinged feet, feeling far colder than you did lounging on the bed waiting for him. You absently rub your arms, feeling goosebumps stippling your skin as you watch him, white shirt sliding apart to reveal the scarred, pale skin beneath, tattoos standing out starkly against his flesh. You have a sudden, powerful urge to bite him.
Finally he’s done, down to his trousers. There’s a beat, expectation hovering in the air between you. Then, he turns and marches towards you so suddenly and with a glint in his eye that makes you take a step back without realising, until your hip nudges your dressing table behind you.
With a smile that can only be described as wolfish, Tommy’s hands slide down to your waist and gives it a playful squeeze before he lifts you up, sitting you on your vanity. The clatter of makeup falling to the floor beings you back to the real world and you frown, flicking your gaze to his.
“Those had better not be broken now, Tommy,” you say, annoyed. “It’s an expensive brand.”
He snickers throatily and responds with a lazy kiss, though his porcelain face is unrepentant.
“I’ll buy you more,” he says with a shrug.
He’s not interest in your makeup, even with traces of your lipstick smudging his jaw. Instead he kisses you until you’re panting, standing in between your legs and sucking, nibbling on your bottom lip, like it’s a thing to be devoured. He tastes like whiskey and cigarettes, which you’d expect from him, but there’s another taste in there too that you can’t quite put your finger on – it reminds you of the woods in winter, of the outside.
His hands rest on your thighs, toying with the hem of your stockings, flirting with the lace, but then he pulls back a little, examining your face. You’re sure you already look a mess, pupils blown, lips red from his attentions and hair falling down out of its usual style. He takes your chin between his thumb and forefinger and it hits you right between the legs when he does that.
“Your ‘usband,” Tommy says, each word weighty. “Doesn’t deserve you.”
You find yourself holding your breath.
“I know,” you answer, on the exhale.
Tommy grunts and lets you go. Then he slowly kneels down, sliding his hands down your legs as he does so, caressing them. He maintains eye contact with you until he’s kneeling right in between your legs and turns his gaze to what lies straight ahead of him. You squirm on the vanity, heart thudding hard in your chest. It's a little embarrassing to be looked at quite so closely, but your skin is tingling with excitement.
He runs his hands slowly up your legs, pinkie ring glinting as he does so, and nudges them apart, fingers squeezing your thighs, since he knows you’re liable to snap them shut when the tensions gets to be too much to bear. He licks his lips, enjoying that tantalising strip of flesh above the stocking, but it’s not what he’s after right now.
You’re helpfully not wearing any underwear and Tommy smirks, before shifting you a little closer, your little gasp of surprise amusing him. His breath is hot as it ghosts over your skin, and anticipation twists in the pit of your stomach.
The first lick is scorching hot, his tongue dragging a stripe up the centre of your core. Your mouth drops open, a whispered “oh” that you didn’t plan on saying drifting into the air. His fingers are firm as he holds you still, but not squeezing so hard as to bruise your skin. But despite how much you start to fidget, you can’t break free of his grip.
Not that you want this to stop. A throb is building in you with every stroke of his tongue, the sounds Tommy makes, greedy and primal as he tastes you, sends a tingle shooting through you like a firework. He doesn’t keep his hands idle, either, using one to hold you open for him and the other to massage lazy circles on your clit. You whine in response, two points of pleasure twining together to send you dizzy with how good it feels. You rake your hands through his hair, tugging a little as he sucks you into his mouth.
“Yes…” you mutter with a little hiss punctuating the end of the word. “Oh…mm…Tommy…it feels so good…don’t fucking stop…”
Tommy can be obliging when he wishes, so he doesn’t stop, not for a second, working you to the brink of an orgasm with that single-minded mercilessness that does him very well in his line in business. You feel drunk off what he’s doing to you, spellbound as he makes you come undone with little more than some flexes of his tongue. More things spill to the floor from your vanity but you scarcely notice, too wrapped up in the burst of pleasure slamming into you.
“Tommy-!”
Apparently, listening to the noises you were making, thinking about how he’s now pretty much fucked you on every available surface in your bedroom, has had quite the profound effect on Tommy as well. When he’s finished, he wipes his mouth (he’s oddly gentlemanly like that sometimes) and rises to his feet, tugging you closer by hooking his fingers around the backs of your knees. He jerks, impatiently, at his fly, slightly short of breath himself. The sight of him even slightly undone makes you pull him closer, clutching at his shoulders.
“You know there’s a perfectly good bed five feet away?” you laugh, breathlessly.
“Fuck the bed,” Tommy all but snarls, fingers digging into your ass. “I want you here. Now.”
He enters you almost on the wood, in one fell thrust, and you cry out without a pause, the sound leaving your mouth as if it had been trapped there all this time, just waiting to get out.
You know you can’t be as tight as he always insists that you are, but fuck if he doesn’t fill you up, hot and hard and it feels so fucking good. The spite towards your husband is just the icing on the cake, it’s like you’re both fucking him while you do this, your bodies united in a silent vendetta against his invisible presence. You growl as Tommy sinks in deep, and just because you feel like it, you drag your nails down his beautiful back, inch by inch, making sure that he’ll have marks of his own to carry around with him. Tommy’s eyes snap open, though you know he doesn’t dislike it.
“Naughty,” he rasps, giving your backside a sharp smack that makes you squeal.
“You like it when I’m bad,” you reply in a muffled voice, smirking against his lips. He huffs in amusement, forehead touching yours.
“That I do, love,” he concedes.
Still, that doesn’t stop him from grabbing one of your thighs and hoisting it up to his waist, changing the angle and hitting you in a way that makes you breathless, sinking himself to the hilt inside you. You can’t stop yourself from moaning anymore, though it’s softened by the mirror rattling behind you as Tommy rocks the vanity table with each thrust, his own curses of “Fuck” a low rumble in his throat.
The pulsing, throbbing that starts up again in your core but somehow has spread to the entirety of your body, flooding your system with want and need.
“Oh, fuck…” you breathe, squeezing him like your life depends on it. “Yes…Tommy, I’m so fucking close…”
“Are you?” he asks, somehow managing to sound arch even at a time like this. His voice dips even lower. “And did I say you could come, sweetheart?”
The bastard! He’s going to tease you now, when you’re this close? You make the mistake of groaning in annoyance and he slaps your ass again, opposite side this time and you yelp.
“No…” you mutter petulantly, though you have to suck in your cheeks a bit to stop yourself from breaking character and smiling.
“No, what?” Tommy prompts, deliberately slowing his pace to taunt you further, the tension that had been building in you rapidly uncoiling. Frustration and lust surge through you, making it rather difficult to think straight.
“No, Tommy,” you say dutifully, but he clicks his tongue like you’re deliberately giving him the wrong answer just to annoy him. Then it clicks and you feel your face grow hot.
“No, Daddy,” you correct yourself, squirming beneath that piercing stare of his. He reaches out and winds a strand of your hair around his finger.
“That’s right,” he says, relentless and beautiful at once. “Now, I believe there’s something you want. Ask me nicely.”
You’re tempted to refuse, just to keep the game going, but your body can’t sustain this – it’s been too long since you stole a night together like this – so you give in, surrender yourself to Tommy like you always do.
“Please, Daddy,” you say in a low voice, moaning as he slide out of you, inch by inch. “Please.”
“Good girl.”
And he rewards you as he always does, sliding back fully into you and picking up the pace like there was no interruption at all. You cry out as he hits you deep, stroking where your own fingers can never quite reach and you hook your legs around his waist, clinging to him like a drowning person. You bury your face into his neck, his name spilling from your lips like an incantation, Tommy…Tommy…Tommy… - it leaves you breathless.
Tommy growls something in Romani as he comes, his head back, eyes shut, his jaw clenching. The moonlight peeping through the window hits his face just right and you can only sigh to look at him.
Silence falls, heavy as snow as both of you fall still, trying to gather your bearings. Tommy recovers faster than you do and sweeps you up off the vanity, carrying you across the room to deposit you into bed. You reach up and gently, lazily skim the sun tattoo branded on his chest. You’re one of the only people you know he’ll allow it from, and he knows you love his tattoo.
“Maybe we should get you one, eh?” he teases as he flips the covers back and sets you down. “Maybe my name, eh?”
You give an obligatory smile, but your heart isn’t in it. Despite the afterglow beginning to settle in and the tingling shocks still thrumming through you like a plucked string, this is the part you hate the most. You try to be adult about it, but watching him dress and vanish at the door, into the cloak of nightfall…it makes you feel like he’s just visited a whore.
Isn’t that what I am? You think, with a stab of bitterness. An adulterer?
As usual, it’s like Tommy reads your thoughts, because he turns your face towards him.
“It won’t always be like this,” he says. “Eh? Someday we won’t ‘ave to fuckin’ sneak around like this.”
“Now, where have I heard that before?” you ask, dryly.
Tommy scoffs, one hand idly smoothing over the covers.
“’ave I ever lied to you, love?” he asks.
You blink, surprised at the question, but even as you mentally count backwards to when you first met, you can’t come up with a single time Tommy outright lied to you. He chooses not to tell you certain things, but that isn’t the same.
“I suppose not,” you answer, shifting onto your side. “I just...I hate watching you leave.”
“I ‘ave to be gone in the morning,” Tommy says, but you sense that he’s hesitating, looking away as if thinking hard. You bite your lip as you watch him, but quietly you choose to let it go. You mustn’t be selfish.
“I know,” you say, settling back against the pillows. “Don’t worry. I didn’t mean-“
But to your surprise, he rubs a hand over his face, seeming to come to a decision…and then he’s sliding between the sheets beside you, as if it’s perfectly normal. You’re so surprised that you don’t move for a moment until he pulls you closer.
“I don’t deserve you either,” Tommy drawls, almost musingly, his voice husky in your ear. “But that never fuckin’ stopped me before.”
He holds you close to him like he has no plans to let go and you can’t temper the delight that flares somewhere inside you that your bodies fit together so perfectly, nor do you want to. Instead you move closer and rest your head on his chest, smugly.
“Who’s to say who deserves what, anyway?” you say, sleepily. You turn your head and press a kiss to his chest, feeling his heartbeat jump beneath your lips.
Tommy hums approvingly, his hand lightly dragging up and down your skin. The movement is soothing and even though you want to savour the moment a little longer, your eyes fall shut, and you can’t muster the energy to open them.
~
When the morning comes, you know that Tommy is gone even before you open your eyes. The yawning emptiness of your bed is impossible to ignore.
Still, evidence of Tommy lingers in the room like perfume. You can smell the faint tang of expensive cigarettes on the pillow beside you, and your fingers trace a bitemark he left on your neck. It can be easily covered by your hair, just as your scratch marks on his back will be hidden…but the point is, you’ll both know.
Fog engulfs the ground when you twitch the curtains aside to peek outside, and it’s easy to imagine Tommy striding through the mist in his long black coat, conjured like the devil himself.
It’s then that your eyes land on something on the vanity. Everything else has been put back more or less where it was, but the little box, tied with a ribbon, is new. Curiosity needles you, so you tiptoe across the room and pick it up, rattling the box like a child on Christmas Day.
The ribbon slithers between your fingers and you find yourself holding your breath as you take off the lid.
Inside, nestled on a bed of black velvet, sits a necklace with a delicate silver chain. You lift it up and gasp slightly at the jet-black pendant on the end, glittering like a drop of blood in the early morning light. The chain and the jewel contrast pleasingly, simple but gorgeous. You don’t know if Tommy actually bought it himself or just sent a secretary off with a generous sum of money, but either way, it’s far more thoughtful than a string of pearls you rarely wear. You don’t waste any time slipping it on. It glitters between your breasts and you smile to yourself – it suits you.
Tucked into the lid of the box is a note and you smile at the familiar sight of Tommy’s script.
Wear this and think of me.
Until next time.
Love, TS. X
He’s never effusive, but you take the note and slot it beneath the velvet, in a little compartment hidden inside the box. Nobody will know it’s there and this way you can take it out and read it when you’re alone.
Your reflection smiles secretively at you in the mirror, the necklace cool on your skin. The night may be over, the hidden side of you retreating as you get ready to face the day, but you feel comfortable that no matter how long it may take, Tommy will make sure to see you again. The gift he gave you is more than a simple present, it’s a promise, a pact sealed.
The witching hour will come again.

Hi! can I please request a male!marvel ship?
⠀› I am a female, I use she/her pronouns! my sexuality is bisexual but I lean towards more to males.
⠀› I’m mix, Black and Filipino, I look more Asian though— I have black long straight/wavy hair and light tan skin.
⠀› my zodiac sign is Leo.
⠀› my personality : when you meet me I can come off reserved and quiet at first but once you get to know me I am very outgoing. I know how to keep a conversation going, to other people I am unique. I am a very intuition person, my gut instincts are sharp. My pride will be the death of me, I can be stubborn too also very determined. I am confident in myself physical and mentally [ even though I have my self conscious moments, I am human ] but most of the time I am happy with myself, others say it’s a superiority complex. My love ones always call me a Disney Princess. I also know how to have a good time and know when to joke around ! Although personally when it comes to something that bothers me I try to keep how I feel to myself, I don’t like being vulnerable to people unless it’s to my love ones or my closest friends that’s when I can be very emotional and forget that I am just one person and I am not always perfect. I am very loyal, especially when it comes to my family and friends. Whenever they need help I am always the first person they would rely on when they need advice or just someone to listen to them. I always want to make sure my love ones and friends feel important. Sometimes I would forget to take care of myself and always take their burdens and carry them like it’s the weight of the world and I always have to help them. Other than that in short, I am loyal, wise, confident, funny, stubborn, unique, independent and strong.
⠀› My hobbies / interests : I love working out / weight lifting, I love writing and creating my own characters, I love drawing as well, making water color portraits and my absolute favorite is reading!! I adore reading, it helps me learn how to write better and not only that it makes my imagination a lot better.
⠀› Favorite Marvel Film is, Thor: Ragnerok
⠀› My favorite song, I don’t really have a favorite I love a lot of songs from different Genre’s like indie rock, Alternative Pop, Hip Hop / Rap, + Rock. [ ex - Halsey, Lana Del Rey, Megan Thee Stallion, Melanie Martinez, Artic Monkeys + more ] But my favorite song in my head right now is, West Coast by Lana Del Rey.
⠀› What I tell others or myself is to “keep moving forward.” I live by that quote because no matter how hard life can be no matter how hard you are beaten down. Time will not stop, you gotta keep moving forward because that’s all you can do. If you focus too much of what’s behind you’ll miss what’s good in front of you. Reach your goals and always try your best, it’s okay to be down just don’t forget that you only get one life and you have to keep moving forward.
I ship you with… Loki Laufeyson!
Things Loki loves about you:
• The fact you are so stubborn. He hates it so much he loves it.
• You two didn’t start off great with clashing personalities.
• Most of the time you both spent together was arguments over stupid stuff that neither of you wanted to admit defeat over.
• There was clear tension between the two of you.
• It was only when he saw you with a book in your hand he was fully intrigued. ‘Wise choice’ he nodded to the book as you sent him a cautious look, waiting for him to make a snide comment, but he didn’t, walking off and leaving you alone.
• He began recommending books for you to read.
• Not long after, you were actually having conversations that weren’t arguments.
• He admired your wit and self-pride. Along with your independence.
• It was not a normal relationship as such, and it just kinda happened.
• Before long you two were almost inseparable, constantly reading beside each other or teasing the other avengers.
• Eventually he opens up to you, telling you about his mother and childhood growing up. It helped you understand him better. Growing that connection.
• If anyone makes a shady comment at Loki, they will know about it. You are always sticking up for him. Which he appreciates and thinks is sweet, even though he doesn’t care what they think.
• Loki tries to teach you how to use a dagger, which ends up going too well for his liking. ‘I fear I have created a monster’ ‘Listen, don’t get upset just because I’m better than you’ ‘Me upset over a mortal? Never’
• Sulking Loki. He would sulk like no tomorrow.
• But you’d always manage to make him smile in the end.
• You don’t always see eye to eye, but it works. That’s how you stay strong, because at the end of the day, you were one of the few that understood him.
Your BFF: Tony Stark - He calls you ‘princess’, which irritates Loki to no end, which is also why he continues to do it. He didn’t understand your guys relationship at first, and tried his best to meddle, but you once blew up at him, leading him to accept it. Again, you and Tony would often fight, but that’s what your friendship was like. He was like a father figure to you.
Your Theme Song:

sal, larry, travis, todd, and maple’s taste in music - headcanons
sal
its canon he likes rock and heavy metal
expanding on that
he likes screamo, v intense and loud music, he thinks its cool
i think he would like indie music too
100% listens to mother mother, pierce the veil, my chemical romance
HE'S A MITSKI STAN, YOU CANNOT TELL ME OTHERWISE

he might listen to corpse husband too (choke me like you hate m-)
artic monkeys, too
perhaps rex orange county?
he'd listen to MARINA too
i think he would listen to music a lot, literally while he's doing anything
slightly off topic but i think he would listen to podcasts, like true crime podcasts
horror story podcasts too
and ones about paranormal activity
larry
he also canonically listens to metal and rock
similar taste in music as sal
ok hear me out,
i think he would listen to like
popular pop music
music that makes him feel like a bad bitch aha, his confidence shoots up every time he listens to a powerful woman's music baha
he's been raised by a single mom, he's 100% a feminist ofc ofc he just thinks women r so cool lmaooo
no like seriously, imagine him listening to
doja cat
or lizzo

ashnikko too perhaps
katy perry or like, demi lovato
i dont have a ton of ideas for him just because we know he really likes rock music a ton
travis
he probably likes cavetown honestly

joy again maybe?
he's also a mitski stan-
despite not being in a relationship ever,
he probably listens to love songs
or breakup songs
UHH maybe girl in red too
i think he would listen to LGBTQ+ positive songs to feel less alone
ALSO literally every McCafferty song reminds me of travis
specifically "Trees"
go listen to it rn if you havent heard it, it gives such travis vibes
maple
i feel like she would like melanie martinez
or penelope scott
powerful women speaking out about important issues music

Hi!! Could i get a match-up for danganronpa please? i rlly love ur blog and i’m so happy u started it!! 💓💓 I’m a bisexual cis girl. I am very optimistic, caring and sweet, and i love to nurture and take care of my s/o (im affectionate). I’m also a writer! though i specialise in novels lol, and i LOVE music. Taylor Swift is my entire life, but I also like Lana del Rey, halsey, olivia rodrigo, mcr, and anything alt or pop. I really love to write, whether its a novel or poetry, and I like to read too! I also journal a lot. I’m 4’11 and have blonde hair, and i ALWAYS wear pink. I’m very hyper-feminine and i love girly things, like painting my nails, doing makeup and dancing! I love making friends, and while im more of an introvert, I still enjoy social gatherings. I love the idea of having an s/o who will eat whatever I bake for them (i love baking!) Thank you so much and have a wonderful day! 💓💗💗💘💝💞💕
I match you with Toko Fukawa from v1!
Toko wouldn’t admit it, but she would like your affectionate nature and how you care for her. It makes her feel safe, because she hasn’t often gotten a lot of care and affection.
Toko also loves to write! You two would probably write together in silence, some cheesy love music drifting in the background as you shared your works together if you wanted. Toko also enjoys reading, she likes improving her writing that way. You two have hobbies in common!
Toko wouldn’t mind the girly things you tend to enjoy. She doesn’t actively do it for herself, but she would use just about any excuse to spend time with you. Painting nails? Sure— why not? Dancing? She isn’t that good at it, but hey, she’d love it if you were the one to teach her.
Toko would be happy to try anything you made, and if you ever made anything for her, her heart would swell and she would feel really happy— though, she may not admit that early on in the relationship!
Overall— Toko and you have similiar hobbies, and would have a nice time doing them together. You’d get her to open up a little bit more, and try different things, while she would give you gentle ways to improve and allow small things she does for you to linger in your everyday life— making things easier for you. You two would truly make a good match.
Second match is Sayaka Maizono from v1!
Sayaka would love an affectionate significant other, and she would be happy to return it! It’s a thing that’s important for her in a relationship, nurturing each other. Besides, she doesn’t mind a little extra attention from someone she admires so dearly!
Sayaka isn’t as into writing as you are, but she may start a journal thanks to you, and write in it occasionally. She would be happy to read anything you wrote, if you did want to show it to her! If you built up the confidence to let her read anything you wrote, she would approach you with just as much enthusiasm.
You two would probably listen to music together, and maybe even write songs together! You listen to her singing a lot and actively encourage her, which means a lot more to her than you could ever know.
Sayaka is one for girly things herself! You would definitely paint each other’s nails and do each other’s makeup, with her flinching and laughing when you do her eyeshadow, “Stop, that tickles!” She would be happy if you let her choose an outfit for you, and would adore it if you chose one for her. She finds something endearing in that.
If you ever baked anything, Sayaka would smile at you and try your baking. She does like sweet things, and it tastes even better knowing that you made it and put so much effort into it.
Overall, you two would just be really sweet together. You would care about each other a lot, and even do the things you have in common together! You would make her happy and help her learn that it’s okay to be herself and not always putting on a pop star persona, and she would encourage you to continue with what you love and promise she’ll be there every step of the way!
hey anon! thanks for sending in the request ^^ i’m glad you like my blog and writing— thank you so much for reading my writing! it means a ton :) i hope you liked these matchups! if you aren’t happy with them, feel free to send the request in again. have a nice day!
-Mod Kirumi

Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (V.E. Schwab)
“France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.”
Rating: 5923840/5
I just finished this book and sat down straight away to write this. I don’t think I can put into words how much I loved this book. Without a doubt can I say that this has been one of the best books I have ever read and will not stop recommending it to others. I put this book down after a few days of reading it, leaving me with about 200 pages left. Not because it bored me, or I didn’t like it, but because I simply did not want this masterpiece to end.
The way V.E. Schwab told Addie’s, Henry’s and Luc’s story leaves you longing until the very end. The characters, so beautifully and well written, I have rarely caught myself rooting for a character as much as Addie. Every character has left an imprint on my heart. This book brought me to tears and I know I will think about this for a long time. It makes you think, the ending leaves you speechless and wanting more, but also broken.
I certainly remember you, Addie LaRue.
Favourite quote: “Three words, large enough to tip the world. I remember you.”
Also, for everyone who likes listening to music while reading, here are some of my favourite tracks that remind me of this book (and the heartbreak it caused me); Silhouette by Aquilo // New York City by The Chainsmokers // In the Woods Somewhere by Hozier. Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey // You & I by RHODES // Finally/beautiful stranger by Halsey // Pierre by Ryn Weaver // Seven by Taylor Swift // could cry just thinking about you by Troye Sivan // line without a hook by ricky montgomery

This segment features artists who have submitted their tracks/videos to She Makes Music. If you would like to be featured here then please send an e-mail to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
Emily Kate
Toronto-based recording artist, Emily Kate perfectly bridges the gap between country and pop with her unique sound and lyrical storytelling. Pulling from real life experiences, her music conveys relatable thoughtful messages weaved with fresh, soulful melodies. Her meaning filled lyrics coupled with her warm sound is often described as Kelsea Ballerini meets a motivational speaker. She has just released her new EP All In. “These songs have taught me how to love myself, feel inspired, chase my dreams, have fun and grow as a person,” says Emily. “They've been my reminder and helped me through heartbreaks, insecurities, and now they get to be yours. All In features a track which I wrote the morning after a fun night out. This upbeat song is about going out with friends and meeting someone who takes your breath away. Its lyrics are a twist on the common saying, you had me at hello, and instead, this song is about someone having you ‘The Whole Time.’” Listen below.

Jordana Talsky
Jordana Talsky is a singer-songwriter and vocal looper who fuses multi-genre influences into her own sound. She accompanies herself by voice with a Roland Boss RC505 loop station. Her ethos is to incorporate digital means into live performance in an organic way, and with the loop machine, she creates a choir on the spot with no pre-recorded parts. Her new single ‘Oh Yeah,’ represents a moment of awakening, like when you remember something you had forgotten about a dream that all of a sudden comes back in a flash, a moment to stand outside of yourself and contemplate, embrace, and inquire of your life. “It takes work, all the time, to choose not to look away and to be honest with ourselves,” says Jordana. “These moments, delicate and challenging, are insights into our authentic selves, that may offer a fresh vantage point from which we can choose to heal and evolve. Inspirational, fun and harmony-rich indie-pop, ‘Oh Yeah’ is about listening to your inner voice and taking faith in the spark you uncovered deep within you.” Listen below.

Nimkish
To fully immerse in the multitudes of rising queer Indigenous star, Nimkish, is to honour the past, look ahead to the future, and bask in the resplendent present all at once. The Vancouver-based artist is fearless in her lyricism, confronting anti-Indigenous racism and colonial violence alongside other hard subjects like anxiety, grief and heartache. To the great tradition of singer-songwriters healing through their music, Nimkish brings a bright-eyed aim to flourish in all she has experienced. Nimkish’s lyrics give affirmation to past pain while living in the moment. To some it may sound like escapism, to others it may sound like moxie-driven R&B-pop pulsing through the club. What’s certain is her fortitude — she’s on a mission, combining the coolness and creativity of the TikTok generation with the lucidity and confidence of a grown woman. Nimkish’s anthemic new single, ‘YSB,’ features ASCXNSION and is about the need for healing, freedom, and to be heard. "’YSB’ is about the need for healing, freedom, and to be heard,” explains Nimkish. “Are you listening? Do you hear me? Am I screaming out into nothing? This song is about feeling like you can't get ahead, and specific issues that we as Indigenous women work through on a daily basis. Our generation has been left to deal with trauma and we are continually fighting for equity. It can feel exhausting to constantly try to be truly heard. I wanted to go deeper on this project and write about real shit. What we have created is anthemic, resilient, and confrontational, despite the vulnerability that it took to write about our lived experiences. This release is about showcasing Indigenous excellence and the need to amplify our voices. Our time is now – the future is Indigenous.” Listen below.

Tana
Tana is an artist, writer and a topliner with charge and a unique flair for lyrics and melody. Her rich and diverse views on gay culture, have strongly influenced her musical and personal journey. Tana’s music is unapologetic, revolutionary, and liberating. At heart, Tana is a true artist, and is inspired by many things around her - people, sexuality, her heritage (being half Italian and Nigerian), the city she grew up in, and the LGBT community. She places diversity at heart and aims to make music that relates to the masses, whilst pushing her creativity at all times. Her array of influences create new ideas and sounds that break traditional boundaries. Think Halsey & The Weekend. She has just released her new single ‘Bad Habits (Keep On Coming)’. Tana says of the track: “I wrote ‘Bad Habits (Keep On Coming)’ over lockdown, and it’s about wanting to grow from a toxic relationship. I found myself holding onto flaws and limitations that really effected my personal growth, and writing about it helped me recognise these issues and learn from this experience.” Listen below.
Love Crumbs
Love Crumbs is a folk-rock and Americana group based in Massachusetts. Known for blending poignant lyrics with evocative vocal storytelling, their nostalgic, timeless, heart-on-sleeve sound harkens to a bygone era. They have just released their new single ‘Ellipses’. “The track is about trying to connect with someone and not being able to despite the best of intentions,” says Mike. “It's about the things that aren't said or are left unsaid. It's about a meaningful relationship that ended kind of suddenly. The person was typing to me (as evidenced by the "...") but I never got to hear their response. Closure isn't something that someone gives us, in the end. It's something that we have to come to on our own. The sonic influences for me on this track, probably in particular the chord changes in the verses are Neil Young, the pre-chorus Tom Waits. I wanted to stack Ali's vocals because it has an unreal sound (not occurring naturally, similar to Royals by Lorde) that can work in the right context.” Listen below.

Leah Rose
Emerging pop songwriter and producer Leah Rose has released her debut single ‘Goodnight’. The melancholic hue of ‘Goodnight’ arises from the sentimentality of a writer reflecting on a landscape they no longer exist in. The song was written and recorded in lockdown and is a prime example of how an artists’ time in isolation can result in the inevitable dissection of their past. Sonically, ‘Goodnight’ was inspired by artists such as Lorde, The Weeknd and Charli XCX. Leah Rose is a Cork-born artist who has spent the last 5 years based in Dublin. She spent much of that time honing her craft, finding inspiration in lyricists such as Alex Turner and Lana Del Rey. Strong imagery and colour play a huge role in Leah’s songwriting. Growing up with artists for parents meant that Leah was exposed to a range of visual art forms at a young age. She strives to create art not only through music but through her artwork, photography and overall visual aesthetic. “I see my songwriting style as atmospheric and somewhat abstract,” she says. “I love being able to use music as a tool to materialise the things I see in my mind. So when I write a song I try to place the listener right in the centre of my memories and daydreams”. Listen to ‘Goodnight’ below.

Felyce
Felyce's alt-pop root influences shine through on her shuffling and atmospheric alternative Pop/R&B new single ‘Skin’. The Paris-based singer-songwriter Felyce shares the struggle she faced accepting the color of her skin while growing in France. Getting away from slow tempos, ‘Skin’ offers an energetic but still dark ambiance. Felyce wrote and performed ‘Skin’ and she worked with professional arranger Nicolas Lassus to make the song what it is now. She said in statement: "I wrote 'Skin' thinking about that beautiful story I heard once. A young black girl wondered why her skin was so dark and her mother told her the reason was because the sun loved her too much. That story really stuck with me". Born and raised in Paris, she spent most of her time between stage performances and school until high school when she put most of her focus on studying while writing her first full songs on the side. Felyce graduated from university in 2016 before starting a short career in HR but she realized that music was the only career for her and began learning production the next year while working on her debut EP Fear which dropped in 2018. She's been steadily releasing singles and crafting her sound since; embracing her formative influences, including British pop music acts like Sam Smith, Robbie Williams, Birdy, and American pop acts such as Lana Del Rey or Banks. Listen to ‘Skin’ below.
Kenzie Webley
Kenzie Webley has been writing songs since she was 13 years old but only started recording last year just before lockdown. Her new single 'Loveable' is out now to coincide with her finishing her A levels. Her debut album is almost finished and she already has the songs written for her second album! 'Loveable' tells the story of a couple arguing in public after a night out. It's from the perspective of someone who recognises their own culpability in the events. Listen below.
URARTA
URARTA’s new EP consists of four tracks centred around the issues of standing up for yourself and others, respecting the planet’s boundaries and looking out for your own. Musically, the band has its heart in punk, but simultaneously flirts with genres such as post punk, alt-rock, noise, Goth and indie. The lyrics are in English and in the dialect of Skåne –the southern part of Sweden where the band also has its geographical base. URARTA consists of Monica Richter (vocals), Ketty Hagmann (bass) and Tove Lorentz (drums). Listen to the song ‘D.I.Y’ below.
