[Mix] Moon Knight, WandaVision - Here's What You Missed Soundtrack
It's been so long since I've done a mix for one of my fics! (The implosion of 8tracks killed my mojo, it never quite came back.)
Well, Here's What You Missed is about the broadcast of a second season of WandaVision, complete with fake end-credits screencaps. It deserves a fake OST.
(Spoilers for everything.)
⬡⬣⬡
⬣s02e01 Season Two Premiere
Every sitcom needs an opening theme, so let's borrow the version from episode 5 of WandaVision season 1: the first episode featuring the Minimoffs as main cast members, where the plot is focused on the shenanigans of raising the boys. (The first-person-plural POV of the lyrics is a nice bonus.)
⬣ WandaVision - Making It Up As We Go Along
Crossing our fingers, singing a song
We're making it up as we go along
Through the highs and the lows
We'll be right, we'll be wrong
We're making it up as we go along...
When the going gets tough
When push comes to shove
We're making it up
'Cause we got love
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e02 Exposition Montage / s02e03 Holiday Special
While the crew outside the Hex tries to piece together what's going on, Wanda and the boys are just making memories. Loving, idyllic, heartbreakingly-perfect memories.
⬣ 10,000 Maniacs - These Are Days
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this...
You'll know it's true, that you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you
These are the days
You might fill with laughter, oh, until you break
These days you might feel a shaft of light
Make its way across your face...
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e04 Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness / s02e05 Wrong Genre Savvy
Our heroes start to bump on the plot holes and push through the cracks -- Wanda even steps fully off-set for a moment -- only to get gently pushed back into the show.
⬣ Neoni - Carry On Wayward Son (Kansas cover)
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high...
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season...
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"
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e06 Adaptation Induced Plot Holes
Import Wanda has to get more and more forceful about shoving Local Wanda and the guys back into place. Caught out for the first time by Strange, Layla, and Darcy, she insists everything in the Hex is going great.
⬣ Amaranthe - Digital World
You will never have to cry, 'cause the future is sold
You can never die, and you'll never grow old
When everything surrounding you is digital
Never break the mold, you do as you're told
Freedom is for sale if you give them control
Erase, return, in the digital world
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e07 Clip Show
First chapter with no Hex scenes, so let's get a song for "our scrappy team of powered people and their friends/allies putting their heads together, talking through a supernatural situation and trying to figure out what caused it." The Buffy musical episode provides. (I don't have specific Avengers mapped to specific verses, but please imagine the whole "Bunnies" interlude plays over a Señor Scratchy montage.)
⬣ Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I've Got A Theory / Bunnies / If We're Together
WILLOW
I've got a theory
Some kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare...
XANDER
It could be witches
Some evil witches
...which is ridiculous, 'cause witches, they were persecuted, Wicca good and love the earth and women power and I'll be over here
ANYA
I've got a theory
It could be bunnies!...
BUFFY
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse? We've all been there
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e08 Second Act Complication
The sitcom world gets a little sadder, as Wanda has issues with PTSD and dissociation that can't be retconned out, and has to give the boys an in-universe explanation. They all reaffirm that even when things get bad, they're going to help each other through it. (Minor-key cover of the Friends theme.)
⬣ Brent Morgan - I'll Be There For You (The Rembrandts cover)
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year...
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees
That--
I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e09 Very Special Guest Star
Revisiting the title song from the last fic where Elias Spector talked with Bucky. He's still trying to catch up on figuring out what happened in that one.
⬣ Chicago - Come In From The Night
How many times have I seen you running
Just one step ahead of the past?
So many nights have I seen it coming
I try to talk to you when you pass
I don't know who you were before I met you
You keep your secret safe with a mask
It's almost as though the truth is out to get you
You're just a runaway from the past...
Come out of the darkness, baby
Come in from the night
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e10 Lost and Found Family / s02e11 What Is This, A Crossover Event?
Wanda and the boys struggle with the sense that there are people they're supposed to love and miss...people they can't quite remember. Tied up with that, the guys start to remember their real, non-brotherly feelings for each other.
⬣ Melissa Etheridge - Loved You Before
When I think of how you know me - no doubts, no thinking twice
When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise
When there's no one else that makes me whole, I am never needing more
I get this feeling that I have loved you before...
Have I wandered through the desert? Have I looked to the north star?
Have I rode the days and nights on rails, to get back where you are?
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e12 Many Will Enter, Few Will Win
Strange finally manages to make contact. Wanda and the guys keep the signal going as much as they can, and resolve to get out of here.
⬣ Something Corporate - Watch The Sky
I'm lost at sea
The radio is jammed, but they won't find me
I swear it's for the best, and then your frequency
Is pulling me in closer 'til I'm home
And I've been up for days
I finally lost my mind and then I lost my way...
But I won't let this get me, I will fight
You live the life you're given with the storms outside
Some days all I do is watch the sky
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e13 Back Door Pilots
One song for each reboot! The Glee cover of Team Moon Knight's go-to karaoke pick. A song from the Grey's Anatomy musical episode. A dark and haunting cover of the Gilligan's Island theme. The deliberately-retro Red Dwarf end credits. And the landmark "healthy body-sharing relationships" anthem from Steven Universe.
⬣ Glee Cast - My Life Would Suck Without You (Kelly Clarkson cover)
I know that I've got issues, but you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me, and honestly?
My life (my life!) would suck (would suck!) without you
⬣ Grey's Anatomy Cast - Universe & U (KT Tunstall cover)
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
And I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
'Cause I am me, the universe and you
⬣ Wasteland 3 Soundtrack - Sea Shanty (Gilligan's Island cover)
So this is the tale of our castaways
They're here for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things
It's an uphill climb
⬣ Red Dwarf - End Theme
It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone (more or less)
Let me fly, far away from here...
⬣ Estelle - Stronger Than You
Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able
Can't you see that my relationship is stable?...
And you're never gonna stop what we made together
We are gonna stay like this forever
If you break us apart, we'll just come back newer
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e14 This Is Your Life
Back on the reality-based level of headspace, our heroes get slammed by memories of the traumas that made them retreat into fiction the first time around. (This song is specifically from the POV of a woman who just saw her twin sons die.)
⬣ Blood Brothers - Tell Me It's Not True
Tell me it's not true
Though it's here before me
Say it's just a dream
Say it's just a scene
From an old movie of years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe...
Say it's just two clowns
Who couldn't get their lines right
Say it's just a show
On the radio
That we can turn over and start again
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e15 Steven's Favorite Part
The guys talk Wanda into trying something new.
⬣ Vienna Teng - Level Up
If you are afraid, come forth
If you are alone, come forth now
Everybody here has loved and lost...
Call it your 2.0, your rebirth, whatever –
So long as you can feel it all
So long as all your doors are flung wide
Call it your day #1 in the rest of forever
If you are afraid, give more
If you are alive, give more now
Everybody here has seams and scars
So come out and level up
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e16 Outsider POV
With the support of her family, Wanda tries something new.
⬣ Carly Rae Jepsen - Comeback (feat. Bleachers)
I'm at a war with myself
We go back to my place
Take my makeup off
Show you my best disguise
You believe in my heart
You believe in my kind
It's a tragedy, boy
Every time you ask me--
I don't know what I'm feeling, but I believe
I was thinking 'bout making a comeback
Back to me
⬡⬣⬡
⬣ s02e17 Not That Kind Of Show
Wanda, then the Moon Knights, and at long last the Minimoffs wake up: out of the Hex, back to present-day reality, and surrounded by friends.
⬣ Owl City - This Is The Future
Wake up on your own
And look around you, 'cause you're not alone
Release your high hopes and they'll survive
'Cause this is the future, and you are alive
⬡⬣⬡
Secret bonus track: one more sitcom theme, about being away for a long time and finally coming home, to play us out.
⬣ John Sebastian - Welcome Back
Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya
Back here where we need ya...
Welcome back!
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Well, Here's What You Missed is about the broadcast of a second season of WandaVision, complete with fake end-credits screencaps. It deserves a fake OST.

wooo an excuse to listen to the Buffy musical episode again
“have I looked to the north star” NICE
Oof, listening to “I’ve Loved You Before” with the Wrong Monica plotline is giving me so many Monica feels.
“Watch the Sky” is such a perfect song for Marc!
The Glee title screen is so cute. I love the Moon Knight letterman jackets!
I listened to “This Is The Future” three or four times in a row. New favorite song???
“Welcome Back” fits the last chapter so perfectly omg
