Coldplay - Yellow (Lyrics) by Authentic Music
Got reminded of this song's existence recently while cleaning my room listening to alt rock last Saturday, and after having listened to it a couple of times, I have feelings about it. Specifically, I have Victor/Smiler (aka Van Alton) feelings about it! Now, this is probably at least partly because the song is called "Yellow" and I am Legally Obligated to link anything yellow with Smiler these days, but I do think this works as a ship song for them. The specific situation I'm thinking of is Victor being pleasantly overwhelmed by how awesome Smiler is and how much he loves them -- just watching them be their bright, sunny self and being like "I would do anything for you to keep seeing that smile." :) Especially since a lot of my Valicer AUs where Victor and Smiler get together first feature them having to hide their relationship from their parents and not being as free and open with it as they'd like. The second set of lyrics seems to fit that particular scenario best, in fact -- all the stuff about "swimming across" and "jumping across" and drawing a line for them makes me think of the pair from my Soulmates AU who ran away rather than let the elder Van Dorts and Dr. Kelman separate them. They certainly did draw their line in the sand there!
But yeah -- just some nice, soft, classic Coldplay giving me the feels about my favorite Victorian noodle and his sunshine enby partner. :) Hope you enjoy!
