#lordy lmao went from that to soft sad indie woods music

WHOA @jundsthoughts - you just triggered a core memory for me with "Fix Me". I literally...haven't listened to this since....god, eleventh grade? I used to listen to this somewhat religiously, right in my playlist with Shinedown and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and All Time Low's saddest bangers. Fuck. This is crazy. I think I erased this song from my brain but I still know every lyric. You're right, it is a great Harry song, very "spit in the face of the haters" type vibe. Sad but assured.

Check Yes Juliet, same thing haha. I have a strong memory of watching this song's music video play during homeroom when this weird...like...eighth grade newscast thing produced by Nickelodeon or ABC... I would watch 100 AMVs of this set to Harry/Theo if it was possible 😭

The Wisp Sings - holy god, IMMEDIATE ADD to my writing playlist. Also my general playlist. Just first line got me, Let me sleep / I am tired of my grief. So beautiful.

On Ophelia - she basically was a druid. She wouldn't call herself that. Her whole thing was that she hated wands and refused to use one, so she's kind of like this weird mashup between druid and mage.

War of Hearts - I love how atmospheric and moody this is. The lyrics do fit them so well, but I also think the vibe is so on-par for Theo and Harry. Ups and downs, but ultimately hopeful and triumphant. Just fabulous.

Have you ever listened to Josh Ritter? He has similar-ish vibe to Hozier and has an amazing a live album I binge listen to at least once a month, if not once a week sometimes. It's called: "In the Dark: Live from Vicar Street". His voice is pretty different but idk based on some of your music you might like him. My personal favs off that album are, "Idaho", "Wings", "Kathleen", and "Leaving".

Heyo! I have more songs for @wixenforever's amazing fic Burning of the Library, go check it out! Fix Me - 10 Years This is just Harry to everyone who thinks he's turning dark, getting too chummy with Slytherin, or what I was latching onto most when listening is anything regarding his weird magic stuff haha. Like, the blood wards he used to toss Moody out of Godrics Hollow, for example.

The Wisp Sings - Winter Aid Theo, likely after his Mom died moreso than his Dad but I can see it for both. Like, I can see him going into the Forbidden Forest soon after getting to Hogwarts and just having a good cry after seeing the Thestrals once again and being forced to remember why he can see them (now twice over). Now, I'm not sure if this is how he'll react given what you said, but the lyrics with it being all "But they would take me from your hand. Or they would try, they would try," it could be Theo holding onto Harry (and maybe his friends) all the tighter despite everything cause of how he's lost everything. Not ready for these good things to be gone just yet. Check yes, Juliet - We The Kings I want this to be Harry and Theo either over a summer or after the war is done. Just letting Harry live out his adventurous soul and pulling Theo along to find more books and reconnect/grow with whatever networks Magnus had. Fae - Seed Honestly, I kinda like to imagine a few things with this 1: Theo and Ophelia with all their fun magic stuff (was she a druid? I don't remember if that's been confirmed or just hinted at with stuff like Magnus' rant in chapter 4 about seeing signs?) 2: Harry and John with all that Fae stuff lmfao 3: Possibly odd, but the Library itself. War of Hearts - Ruelle So, this first set of lines, "Come to me in the night hours, I will wait for you. And I can't sleep cause thoughts devour, thoughts of you consume," this is Harry when he learned that Theo was presumed dead, and then going into the first chorus is him just begging anyone and anything for Theo to not be dead (and knowing it, mostly, cause fun magic stuff) Then we have the second verse, "Stay with me a little longer, I will wait for you," is when Theo's found and Harry is up late at night and when he's stress baking just willing Harry to be okay. Jackie and Wilson - Hozier This one is more tangentially related than anything else, but I could see it as Theo's POV with Harry just helping him live in the moment and experience everything like that. As a side note, I honestly prefer the Live From America album's version of this song to the original, haha. It's just a lot more groovy for me.
