Mix - Fake News: Nightmares & Lullabies
Title: Nightmares & Lullabies
Rating: PG
Warnings: Character!Stephen's lousy childhood.
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. Although reference is made to real persons, the content is the product of the mixer's imagination only.
In which Stephen is needy as a child, and Jon is there to hold him.
1. Laura Marling - Night Terror
Jon doesn't know how deep it goes, but it's plain that Stephen's hurting.
I woke up and he was screaming
I'd left him dreaming
I roll over and shake him tightly
And whisper, "If they want you,
Oh, they're gonna have to fight me."
2. Sting - Lullaby To An Anxious Child
Jon does his best to be soothing.
Hush child,
Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes
Hush child,
I won't leave, I'll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs
Hush child,
I can help the look of accusation in your eyes
3. The Pierces - Save Me
Stephen badly wants to reach out to Jon, but he's terrified of what that means.
There's a lot you don't know
And there's a lot I can't tell
Would you think I'm crazy
If you knew me that well?
'Cause there's a lot you don't know
But you say you won't go and I'd like to believe you
4. Green Day - Working Class Hero
Stephen had what you might call a lousy childhood.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool...
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
5. Simple Plan - One Day
He set his mind on getting through it, growing up, repressing it all, and never having to deal with any of it again.
Sometimes this house feels like a prison
That I just can't leave behind
There's so many rules I got to follow...
But one day I won't take this anymore
One day I'll be old enough to do what I want to
I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day
6. Pink Floyd - Your Possible Pasts
But no matter how much he tries to distance himself, the old hurts still haunt him.
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
Of their possible future, to take care...
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
7. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
The harder Stephen fights to keep up his mask of independence, the more it fractures.
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
Until I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say:
Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
8. Full Blown Rose - In The Light
He's still little Steve Col-bert somewhere underneath.
A child lost to pain
I'll pray for better days
Lift me up
Lead me from this place
Let your love be mercy on my fate...
Hand of hope, come and change me
Out of ashes make me whole
Lift me up and recreate me
And help me overcome myself
Lead me from hell
9. Kelly Clarkson - Hear Me
The walls start to crumble against the onslaught of need.
I used to be scared of letting someone in
But it gets so lonely, being on my own
No one to talk to
No one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening
Hear me, I'm crying out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me!
I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
10. The Killers - When You Were Young
Enter Jon.
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to,
To save you from your old ways...
Watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
11. Sarah Brightman - Deliver Me
Stephen's plea.
Deliver me, out of my sadness
Deliver me, from all of the madness...
All of my life I've been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here, now that I've found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through
12. Kate Bush - The Man With The Child In His Eyes
Jon finds himself privy to a side of Stephen that few are allowed to see.
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before...
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
13. Emmy Rossum - Lullaby
At last Stephen gets the comfort he needs.
You say all seems so wrong with the life that you're living
You're searching for some reason why
You're so scared to trust
You're feeling unworthy
Aching for comfort tonight
When your heart's too sore to beat
And you fear it might never heal
And you feel not even beggars want you
I do
Close your eyes, don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair, have no fear
Give your weight to me when you hear
This lullaby

Also, I sense that you need to draw Stephen in that outfit from the segment on the trip to the Persian Gulf from the eighth.
(please?)

Also, which outfit? The "I am suddenly pantsless" one, or the "I'm totally a pimp" one?
