UNREAL UNEARTH SPOILERS AHEAD - PROCEED WITH CAUTION (complete tracklist + line teasers)

Organising these here so I can go insane in peace:

Revealed Tracklist:

#1 'De Selby (pt.1)'

"At last / When all of the world is asleep / You take in the blackness of the air; / The likes of a darkness so deep / That God at the start couldn't bear."

#2 'De Selby (pt.2)'

"What you're given / What you live in / Darling it finds a way to live in you / And your heart, love / Has such darkness / I feel it in the corners of the room."

#3 'First Time'

"Remember I once told you about / How before I heard it from your mouth / My name would always hit my ears / As such an awful sound / And the soul, if that's what you'd call it / Uneasy ally of the body / It felt nameless as a river / undiscovered underground."

#4 'Francesca'

"If I could hold you for a minute / Darling, I would do it again / I would not change it each time / Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I."

#5 'I, Carrion'

"I've reached a rare height now / That I can confirm / All our weight is just a burden / Offered to us by the world / And though I burn / How could I fall? / When I am lifted by every word you say to me / If anything could fall at all / Its the world that falls away from me."

#6 'Eat Your Young'

"Come and get some / Skinning the children for a war-drum / Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns; / It's quicker and easier to eat your young."

#7 'Damage Gets Done'

"You and I had nothing to show / But the best of the world / in the palm of our hand and darling / I haven't felt it since then / I don't know how the feeling ended / but I know being reckless and young / Is not how the damage gets done."

#8 'Who We Are'

"Darling we sacrified / We gave our time to something undefined / This phantom life sharpens like an image / But it sharpens like a knife / We're born at night / So much of our life / Is just carving through the dark / To get so far / And the hardest part / Is who we are / It's who we are."

#9 'Son of Nyx'

" ... / ... / ... "

#10 'All Things End'

"And all things end / All that we intend is scrawled in sand / It slips right through our hands / And just knowing / That everything will end / Should not change our plans / When we begin again."

#11 'To Someone From A Warm Climate

"'Uiscefhuarithe' / The feel of coldness only water brings / There are some things that no-one / teaches you, love / That come as natural as a dream / you didn't know you were in / And darling, all my dreaming / Is only put to shame / And darling all my dreaming / Has only been given a name."

#12 'Butchered Tongue'

"So far from home / To have a stranger call you 'darling' / And have your heart / Be lifted like a child up by the hand / In some town that just means / 'Home' to them / With no translator left to sound / A butchered tongue / Still singing here above the ground."

#13 'Anything but'

"In a shot I'd swap my body for a body of water / Worry the cliffside top as a wave crashing over / I'd lower the world in a flood / or better yet I'd cause a drought / If I was a riptide, / I wouldn't take you out."

#14 'Abstract (psychopomp)'

"The poor thing in the road / Its eye still glistening / The cold wet of your nose / The Earth from a distance / See how it shines / See how it shines."

#15 'Unknown / Nth'

"You know the distance never made a difference to me / I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked / across the floor of any sea / Ignored the vastness between / all that can be seen / And all that we believe / So I thought you were like an angel to me."

#16 'First Light'

"The sky set to burst / The gold and the rust / The colour erupts / You filling my cup / The sun coming up / Like I lived my whole life / Before the first light."

The Response

Part Two of The Interview [Part One] [Ao3]

With no exact time given by Robin, Eddie's left to kill time. He drags himself from the YouTube spiral to try and track down Steve on social media. After two hours, he concludes that either Steve has his (and official Corroded Coffin's) socials blocked, or Steve just doesn't have any. He's a bit baffled that people can even find Steve to send hate mail to him.

He shoots a text to Gareth. Can you find Steve on any socials?

He gets an instant reply.

DO NOT CONTACT!!!

WAIT FOR RESPONSE

DONOT MAKE THISS WORSE MUNSON

Eddie frowns down at his phone but doesn't argue. He probably would make it worse. He sends back 'k' and looks back to the laptop. Watches it auto-refresh but Robin's feed hasn't changed.

God, what will Steve have to say?

It's mostly true, that Eddie hasn't thought about Steve in years. That's been deliberate. Eddie was so furious back then. Robin wasn't wrong about him venting his feelings into a song, but how was he supposed to know Hey Steve would be the song the catch the ear of the people? And yeah, the lyrics are very unflattering.

A lot of their first songs were filled with rage. The whole first album is just their collective high school experiences. Songs about growing up in Hawkins and how shit that was for them, a song about Eddie's complicated feelings towards his dad, songs about dungeons and dragons disguised as fantasy ballads, things like that. And, of course, Hey Steve.

He can admit that years ago he reevaluated the lyrics and found it to be more harsh than was warranted. But he figured there was no point worrying about that. People exaggerate in songs all the time. The song is out, people still plead for it to be played during encore performances. Eddie hadn't thought it was hurting anyone to play it.

Hey Steve had taken Eddie less than two days to write. He did almost nothing for those two days except write. Fuck. He was still just a dumb kid when he wrote it, barely graduated high school. And the reason for writing it...

Eddie had know Steve wasn't out to his parents when he'd asked Steve to essentially runaway with him. Steve had worried about things like money, and living situations, and getting food. It had all sounded like excuses to Eddie back then. Like Steve was picking the safety of Hawkins and his parents' house over going out into the world to be with Eddie freely.

They'd fought about it. The worst fight they'd ever had. Yet, here Eddie is, a decade later and unable to recall anything that was actually said. Just a summary of that conversation exists in his mind, now. Steve wanting to wait. To save more money now that his hours at the grocery store would be changing from part time to full with him no longer being in school and able to work the morning shifts. Wait to get his car fully transferred to his name from his parents.

All things that adult Eddie can now see as reasonable. Jesus Fucking Christ. He remembers he'd given Steve some sort of ultimatum. He was leaving on the last Grey Hound from Hawkins to Indy. Steve could meet him at the bus stop or stay, but Eddie was going, with or without him.

Steve had shouted back. He knows they just got louder and nastier until Steve finally told him that he would be going without him, then, because they were over. Even as angry as Eddie had been, he'd held out hope. But that last bus left Hawkins with Eddie on it and no sign of Steve in sight.

So Eddie did what he did best. Channeled that hurt into anger and wrote a song. Never in a million years did he think that, in the very first bar they played at in Indy, they'd meet a man who wanted to take a chance with them and get them a demo. All they needed to do was get from Indy to LA. Eddie had a van and the motivation. The next year of his life was too busy for him to even think, much less worry about Steve and his breakup.

Well, that was a lie. He thought about it constantly and shoved the thoughts aside as quickly as they came. Easier to do when he had no way to check up on Steve. He left Hawkins with no laptop and a pay-per-text flip phone he'd bought at a gas station. Wayne tried his best to provide for Eddie, and that meant they'd had one cell phone between the two, and Eddie had insisted that Wayne keep it.

By the time he got a laptop and internet, Steve had blocked him on Facebook and Twitter. That was the conclusion Eddie had come to when he finally worked up the nerve to swallow his pride and apologize and couldn't find Steve on either platform. Another thing that had filled Eddie with anger and hurt. Steve had broken up with him and then made sure Eddie couldn't reach back out.

Now he wonders, did Steve block him, or did Steve delete his socials to stop the hate mail?

Eddie feels nauseous.

Fuck!

What's worse is that, before the fight, Eddie had been so sure he was in love with Steve. But how can he say that with how quickly he dropped him? With how he's acted ever since? He could justify it to himself when he was still freshly broken up with and hurting but that faded away as fame took over.

Hard to be sad about not having a boyfriend when there were plenty of people lining up to be with him.

He pulls himself from his head to look at the laptop. A new tweet shows on Robin's screen and he scrambled to turn off the auto-refresher.

It's a short tweet, and Eddie sees she's changed her name as well.

Clicking the link takes him to a YouTube video.

It starts with the camera slightly jiggling, presumably from someone hitting record. It's been set up in a recording studio. A stool in front of a mic that's suspended from the ceiling is the only thing in the frame.

"Alright, dingus, last chance to change your mind about this," Robin's voice is picked up from off screen.

"You can't talk me out of this," says a male voice, and without any thought about it, Eddie's hand flings out and slaps the space bar, pausing the video. His heart is pounding, and he has to take a few deep breaths. That was Steve's voice. Of course, it was Steve's voice, it's his statement video, but hearing it again. Hearing it spoken softly but determined.

Swallowing feels difficult. Eddie's last memory of Steve's voice was screaming. This is... this is the Steve he never thought he'd hear again, and hasn't realized how much he desperately wanted to. With shaking hands, he presses play again.

Steve steps into frame, takes a seat on the stool. He looks in the direction of the camera, and Eddie has to pause again, to take him in. His hair is longer than it was in high school, the ends of it touching his shoulders. He's got it pulled up in a half updo, keeping the hair out of his face. His face is familiar and yet so different. He certainly looks older but not in a bad way. The biggest difference is his nose; it's not as straight as it once was, like it's been broken and healed wrong. His strong, square face is as handsome as it ever was, perhaps more so now. Eddie's eyes are drawn to the two moles on his cheek; his eyes have always been drawn there. It was his favorite place to kiss Steve.

He's wearing light wash jeans and a deep blue Henley. And fuck if it doesn't make him look good.

Eddie unpauses again, and waits to hear the retribution he deserves.

"This good, Robin?"

"Yeah, you're perfectly in frame."

"Good. Uhh, hi. I'm Steve. Robin told me that there was a lot of fuss regarding a certain Corroded Coffin song, and that people wanted to hear from me. Which is wild 'cause like, I'm just some guy and I don't really have much to say-" Steve is saying, with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Steve!" Robin interrupts him, "I just had to help you move because someone threw a brick through your window! What do-"

"Okay! I get it! But that's not Corroded Coffin's fault. They do that whole anti-bullying thing! It's not like they don't address harassment and bullying. I-" Steve cuts off, seeming to remember he's on camera. His face turns pink. "We can argue this later. Uhh, anyway. There is something I want to say to Eddie Munson, so I hope he's watching."

He makes a 'give it to me' gesture and Robin enters frame, handing him an acoustic guitar. "I thought I'd answer using the one thing Eddie understands best. Music. So, uh, I wrote this song with Robin's help. Lyrics are mine but the melody is Robin. The song doesn't have a title but, uh, okay. Here it goes."

And then, Steve starts to sing, looking down at the guitar for correct finger placement more than singing into the mic but it picks him up well regardless.

"Do you think I'd give up? That this might've shook the love from me? Or that I was on the brink? How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily? Now that it's done There's not one thing that I would change My life was a storm, since I was born. How could I fear any hurricane? If someone asked me at the end I'll tell them put me back in it-" Eddie is sitting down, and still he feels the floor fall out from under him.

"-Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah If I could hold you for a minute Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah."

Eddie doesn't hear the rest of the song because of the blood pounding in his ears. This can't be- it doesn't mean- after all this time? After everything that's happened, everything Eddie let happen, unintentionally or not.

His phone buzzes against his leg. He ignores it in favor of restarting the video and listening to the video from the start. He listens to the whole song and it ends without anything else. Once Steve's strummed the last chord, he just stands up, walks to the camera and the video ends.

He restarts the video again, and again, and again. Hears Steve sing How could you think I'd scare so easily and I would do it again if I could hold you for a minute and though I know my heart would break I'd tell them put me back in it.

It's through the tenth, or eleventh, playback that his phone buzzes again and he fumbles to answer blindly, unable to pull his eyes away from Steve on the screen of his laptop.

"Gare- It's not- what did I do Gare? Everything I thought Steve would have to say never came close to what he just sang. I can't- I don't know what to do," Eddie sobs into the phone.

There's a pause of silence before what is very much not Gareth's voice says, "Well, dammit Munson. I was calling to rip you a new one but you're already crying."

It takes Eddie a moment to place the voice, "Robin?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Robin says. "I think Steve's let you off easily, but I also know I kick a hornet's nest with my interview so I think we should work on getting this cleared up, both publicly and privately."

"How did you get my num-"

"Gareth. Keep up, Munson. I'd like us to be able to call off each other's fans. Your PR team and whoever you employee to do that anti-bullying campaign have done a pretty good job so far in telling people to back off, politely. Helps that Jeff has been on top of this from the beginning. Honestly, I think the best decision you've ever made in your life was making Jeff the front man of your band and not yourself. He's much more pleasant to talk to, and so good with people."

"Robin!" Eddie has to shout because Robin keeps saying words and they don't make sense. "What?"

He hears a sign from the other end of the phone. "You are annoying. You know that, Munson? I'll work with Gareth to get this done. I think we should be seen together, publicly. Maybe getting a coffee. So everyone knows we've made up, or whatever it is Gareth and I decide is happening. We should also meet up privately. There's a lot to talk about."

"I'm so confused."

"Nothing new. Now, when are you free to get on a plane to Pendleton, Oregon?"

"Pendleton?"

"Munson!" Robin snaps, "we just established that you live in a perpetual state of confusion. Instead of questioning me, how about you answer my questions. Now, when are you free?"

"Anytime."

"Smart answer. Get your ass to Pendleton by the morning of the twenty-third. I'll work with Gareth for all the other concerns. He's easier to deal with."

"Can I ask one follow up question at least!?"

"You just did but I'll allow one more before I hang up."

"Why Pendleton?"

"It's the nearest airport to our destination. I am not having a private conversation with you in California. I don't want to be caught speaking to you until Gareth and I have a chance to work out the details."

And then Robin hangs up.

Eddie leans forward and restarts the video on his laptop before looking up plane tickets. Fixing things with Robin might be the first step in ever getting try and, he doesn't know, apologize to Steve? Maybe even have a conversation one day.

He doesn't deserve that chance, he thinks, but he's a bad enough person to want it anyway.

UPDATE!

Hi friends!

As I've made the official announcement for my next Hozier series Love in Verses, I reckon that I need to make an update to tell you how far I am in this project!

But first, I want to thank all of you for your enthusiasm towards this project and all the love you're already giving this series! Thank you so much for your support!!

Okay, so... this is where we're at atm:

Long fic already, as you can see! (The slow burn guys jfzejfozezif)

So far, after some planning (I know, it's surprising coming from me, but I need planning at this stage...) we are aiming for a fic that's gonna be around 43-chapters long (this may change as I'm writing, but it should be around 40-45 chapters).

So far, I've completed 23 chapters, I've started 10 chapters but they are not complete (only some scenes are already written but they need either to be connected to the rest of the story or additional scenes), and 10 chapters need to be entirely written still as I haven't started working on them at all. So, as you can see, I'm more than halfway through!

I'm genuinely hoping to start posting before the end of August! I cannot promise anything yet, as I want to fully finish the first draft before starting posting. This will allow me to:

Update regularly (twice a week, in a similar way I did for OaA), and make sure that you get the full story quickly

Woven in many motifs and foreshadowing some things I've already planned

Add some constant details in the chapters (titles, quotes...)

Vary the povs as I've decided to alternate in this fic between Andrew and Y/N (as opposed to OaA where I wrote only from Andrew's pov), and make it balanced

Add some minor storylines (additional characters...)

So... as you can see, I'm getting some serious work done and am still progressing well! But I still have a lot of work to do!

Stay tuned for more info... and for the fic to drop, hopefully before the end of summer!

I hope you have a lovely day, and thank you again <3

And don't hesitate to drop by if you want to have a chat!

[porters-fangs]

listening to through me (the flood) and it is so william coded i don’t know how i didn’t notice this before

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

I know you probably won't answer this, which is fine.

But, I just wanted to say thank you, for everything you do.

Whether it's a simple shitpost, a artistic comic about gay puppets, or even a life update about sprinkles, everything you make brings me joy.

Life's been pretty shitty lately, and I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done.

I can't what to see what else you post, lol

jokes on you, I'm Answering This! ha, get pranked

but really, that's one of my big goals, i'm going to be honest. it's why i started posting fic & now art - i wanted to provide for people the joy and escape it all gave me over the years. if i can make One person's day better, it's worth it!

so... really i should be thanking You! it warms me to know that i've brightened your hours even a little <3 KITTEN BLAST:
