Title: I'll Rewrite Space And Time For You
Warnings: Spoilers through episode 12.

I cannot flail enough about this pairing. Or the whole show, for that matter.

Mix is a Homura/Madoka-centric recap of the last two episodes. No thumbnail for the front cover, as it uses a screencap from the finale.

Title: My Favorite Place Is Me And You

I keep trying to make a fluffy mix about these two, but it always gets tragic by the end. Sigh.

Mostly Carmen's POV. More of the pairing here and at where_inthewrld.

Title: but the crack let in light
Notes: Dissociation, dysphoria, trauma. Some slightly NSFW illustrations. One track in .mp4 format.

The learned and benevolent Dr. Parr used to say of such men, that they were certainly cracked; but that the crack let in light.
John Connolly, An Inquiry Concerning the Indications of Insanity (1830)

A character soundtrack for the revised State of Grace. (Cover is spoilery; click through to see. There's also a large clean version here.) Stephen has multiple personalities, and spends years thinking of himself as broken because of it. Then they start getting to know each other, and learn to see things differently.



( Something's familiar about these strangers like me )

Subject: Jon(/"Stephen")
Title: After The Rain

A character/pairing soundtrack for the revised State of Grace. When Jon fell in love, neither of them could have predicted the storm it would set off. He's determined to see Stephen through it, but Jon's going to have to learn to take care of himself along the way if he plans to make it out the other side.

Title: P. K. Winsome's Finding My Niche: The P. K. Winsome Story

P. K. Winsome is a mystery wrapped in an enigma covered by a broad smile and topped with a 20% Off For Today Only sticker. He brands himself as The Black Republican, but most of his association with other right-wingers involves charging a fee to make them look more diverse. Oh, and he's possibly the only person with his name and face slapped on more cheap trinkets than Stephen's.

Honest conservative, or merely apathetic enough to stand next to them at rallies? Carrying out a deeply subversive Take That to the institutionalized racism in the establishment, or just out to make a quick buck? There are lots of ways to interpret this guy. Here's one.
