London, United Kingdom: London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city & London Underground: the Tube. London. Wikipedia

Momma’s Special Surprise For Arlie (Little Duck au🐣)

pairing: Momma Evans (Female Reader) x Arlie Mae x Chris Evans

summary: Momma has a very special present for Arlie, and she got some help from some very special friends

warnings: none just fluffy goodness

a/n: i’m really excited about this little fic, i’ve been wanting to write it for a while so here it is🫶🏻

You had been planning this surprise for a few months now, Arlie was absolutely gutted when you couldn’t go see Harry Styles in concert when he was in the United States. Despite her best smiles, you knew it gutted her not being able to see her favourite singer, but thankfully you’d been talking to Chris for a while trying to plan something. Harry would start his last leg of Love on Tour in May, and you reached out to him right away asking if there was any chance he could find you tickets to watch his shows in London at Wembley Stadium.

~

“I really want to do this for her Chris, I know London is far, and it’ll be expensive…I think it would make her really happy”

Chris nodded, his arms around you as you sat out on the back patio

“Why don’t we make a family trip out of it?”

“Really?!”

You were elated, eyes wide as you looked at him, a chuckle escaping his lips

“Yeah why not, we haven’t gone anywhere in a while, Arlie’s well behaved, Wes is still small enough to keep close to us, you and duck can go to the shows and Wes and I can get up to some boy stuff”

Laughing you pressed a kiss to his lips, clapping in excitement because let’s be honest, you were just as excited to be going to see Harry Styles live on tour

“I love you, thank you baby”

“Anything for my girls”

~

That brought you to today, setting up the living room with snacks for an afternoon tea party at Arlie’s request, Canyon Moon playing softly throughout your home, Wesley down for a nap.

“Arlie my girl, everything’s all set up, and Momma’s got a surprise for you”

She came in the room helping Chris carry over the tea which was really organic apple juice

“S’upise for me momma?!”

“Yeah for you baby”

Arlie smiled and Chris set the drinks down on the table before she sat cross legged beside you, her eyes bright and full of excitement

“So momma and daddy have been planning something for us as a family, we were thinking of going away on a trip”

“Wike we did the beach?”

You nodded

“Exactly baby, but we aren’t going to the beach this time”

“Where we go momma?”

Chris had pulled out his phone to start filming secretly

“Well we are going to a city called London baby, it’s in a country called the United Kingdom”

Arlie blinked raising her eyebrows

“That the one with the big clock momma?”

“Yep, Big Ben baby, you remembered”

Arlie smiled, they’d been learning about landmarks at school, and she’d made a mental note about Big Ben, asking Chris to go through photos of it every afternoon after school

“Momma has a surprise for you though and why we are going”

“What momma!”

You swiped a loose strand of hair behind her ear leaning forward to press a kiss to her forehead

“Well, who’s your favourite singer?”

“Harry Styles!”

She’d finally managed to get the R’s in Harry down after a long time of talking about him

“Mhm, well Harry and Momma have been talking, and we’re going to go see him in concert”

“MOMMA REALLY?! REALLY MOMMA!!”

You laughed as she squealed jumping up and starting to clap

“Yes my love! He wants to have you out, and he wants to say hello to you too!”

“We gonna see Harry daddy!!”

She ran over jumping in his lap to hug him, his arms holding her to his chest

“Yes we are duck! You excited? Was this a good surprise?”

“So good! I’m so happy daddy!!”

He pressed a few kisses to her cheeks before she bounded over to you and jumped into your arms

“Fank you momma”

“You’re so welcome my baby”

She remained in your arms beginning to talk about all the idea she had and everything she wanted to see, what she wanted to say to Harry. This was priceless to see, her pure excitement and happiness at the fact that she would be seeing Harry after thinking she’d need to wait for a while. You’d do anything for your Arlie girl, and felt more than grateful to be able to experience these beautiful moments with your family.

1992 London Playlist (YouTube)

The thing that you really have to understand about early 90s London is that it was fucking bonkers. The popularity of acid house, which had taken the city by storm in the late 80s, was on the wane, but in its stead came an avalanche of new dance and electronic genres that still maintain a significant presence to this very day, from IDM, to techno, to breakbeat, to trip hop, to downtempo, to trance, and more. And London itself may not have been the actual origin point for many of these genres, but with the ground being so fertile there, thanks to club life being such an integral part of the youth experience and pirate radio being an ample venue to promote all this street-savvy, independent music, it was only natural that so much stuff would still be able to flourish in that very city.

So with this brand new playlist this week, we start to take an eclectic look back at some underrated, overlooked, and forgotten bangers from the vast London underground of 1992, a year when so many different strains of dance and electronic music were all simultaneously fixing to break out in a major way there. On here you'll find a nice assortment of all of those aforementioned genres, and hip hop too, with neither one having any sort of predominance over another. Just a small crop of London-made stuff that, after three decades, still manages to sound dope and never dated 😎.

IDM legends B12, operating here as Musicology, kick things off with "Preminition," a brilliant tune with a sweet combination of squelchiness, strings, metallic clanging, unorthodox percussion, vocal samples, and these deep and forcefully leading, Chicago-inspired piano chord stabs. This tune famously appeared on Warp Records' groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence comp, a release that played an indispensable role in kicking the whole phenomenon of IDM and 'intelligent'/listening techno into high gear. Currently at around 37.6K plays across a handful of uploads on YouTube.

Then after that is a nice, flashing-lights raver by the well-known and aptly named Future Sound of London, whose futuristic brand of acid-crunchy breakbeat here on their own remix of "Expander" sounds like some proto-Chemical Brothers shit, but from before those Chem Bros had ever released anything of their own. It's seriously like listening to Dig Your Own Hole five years earlier than anyone else—way ahead of its time and currently closing in on 28.2K plays on YouTube across a handful of uploads.

And then closing things out is a remix by a short-lived duo that was an offshoot of West London group React 2 Rhythm called Ernie & Bert, whose members were actually both named Richard. Here they turn in their steadily beating and calmly hypnotic and hazy "Travelling at the Speed of Light" take on Euphoria's "Mercurial," a trance bop that was released on dance production legend William Orbit's progressive house label Guerilla. Currently at around 68.4K plays across a handful of uploads on YouTube.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible.

Musicology - "Preminition" The Future Sound of London - "Expander (remix)" Fuzzy Logic feat. Erire - "Obsession (William Orbit's Throbjam mix)" DJ Food - "Ninja Walk" Daddy Freddy - "Haul & Pull" 21st Century Aura - "Disorientation" Mimoid - "Tree of the Sun, Tree of the Moon" 21st Century Aura - "Something Started" Killa Instinct - "Un-United Kingdom" Euphoria - "Mercurial"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So with this initial posting of this playlist, we start off with a total of 10 songs that end up clocking in at 62 minutes. Might have a corresponding Spotify playlist to go along with it at some point in a future update, but we're just not there yet, because not enough of the songs I wanted to start this playlist with are actually on Spotify.

And here's a list of all the comps and mixes that were used to put this thing together too:

Artificial Intelligence (1992, Warp Records) The Desert Sun: A Higher State of Trance and Chemical Music (1997, Hypnotic Records) Jackpot Presents Guerilla by Phil Perry & Danny Howells (1997, Jackpot) Ninja Cuts: Flexistentialism (1996, Ninja Tune) The Best Rap Album of All Time (1999, Dressed to Kill) Ambient Dub Volume 1:-(The Big Chill) (1992, Beyond)

More 90s London playlists here too:
