Mix - Read Or Die: I Could Write Books
Fandom: R.O.D: Read Or Die
Title: I Could Write Books
Warnings: Spoilers for the manga and TV series.
Yomiko Readman loves books; Nenene Sumiregawa is a brilliant author. When Nenene gets kidnapped, Yomiko (who's also a secret agent) comes to the rescue; when Yomiko gets so wrapped up in reading that she forgets to eat, Nenene brings lunch.
Unfortunately, Yomiko has so many duties and distractions that the idea of settling down never crosses her mind. And then she goes missing for ten years.
Nenene waits for her.
Moxy Früvous - My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors
Nenene the realist gets impatient with Yomiko the bookworm. (This could be the theme song for the entire Read Or Die franchise.)
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been living in hovels
Spending all our money on brand-new novels
Chicago - Along Comes A Woman
Nenene the lonely author discovers that Yomiko isn't just any fan.
There was a time when you needed someone to hold on to
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
All alone - suddenly you see her
So alone - know you're gonna meet her
Can't explain something that you're feeling
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
Zanna, Don't! - I Could Write Books
Nenene falls in love. Absentminded Yomiko doesn't catch on.
I drop hints about my birthday; you forget it anyway
I say "Pick me up at seven"; you do, but the wrong day
Is there something I should know about that's going on inside?
What is wrong with me that there's so much of you you hide?
I could write books about all the ways you hurt me
All the ways you didn't know could destroy a person so
I could write books about all the things you took from me
And then write twice as much about how much you give back
The Killers - Read My Mind
Yomiko disappears. Nenene isn't told why.
I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign...
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
CAKE - Open Book
Nenene should be writing another book, but there's only one thing on her mind.
She's writing, she's writing, she's writing a novel
She's writing, she's weaving, conceiving a plot
It quickens, it thickens, you can't put it down now
It takes you, it shakes you, it makes you lose your thought
But you're caught in your own glory
You are believing your own stories
Writing your own headlines
Ignoring your own deadlines
But now you've gotta write them all again
You think she's an open book
But you don't know which page to turn to
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Missing Yomiko.
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Dan Fogelberg - Longer
A writer's love song.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - The Meeting
Reunion.
Surely I could tell
When I sleep tonight
A dream will call
And raise its head in majesty
Dividing all my energy
To the meeting of your love
Where from whence it came
Like a singer searching for a song
I try to reach where you belong
As I will be the song for you
Chicago - You're The Inspiration
Nenene can write again - and not a moment too soon.
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
I wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I
Bonus: Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians - Pu-Leeze! Mr. Hemingway
It can be exasperating to be in love with an author.
When you offer me anything I see,
Can you blame me if I obey?
Limousines don't drive me frantic,
But when you become romantic,
Pu-leeze! Mr. Hemingway!
