Subject. The Sisters Black
Title. Of Cutthroat Ilk
Notes. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WAS DONE WITH THESE LADIES (as if) (never ever). This mix has been in the making for what must be something like three years now. I was going to write something of a companion fic to go along with it, and I do have bits and pieces of my efforts floating around, but these days everything I write looks and sounds to me like something a preschooler might've scribbled out on wide-ruled paper with a fucking crayon, so. No fic for now, but in a nutshell: this is the story of Bellatrix, wild and proud to a fault, who chose to dance and drown in depths the rest of her family dared only dabble in; of Narcissa, masked (later armored) in icy hauteur, who understood the family words better than anyone - because toujours is not achieved without subtle endurance, without the will to remain; and of Andromeda, who questioned and challenged, and lost a great deal for it.
BLAH BLAH BLAH I don't want to be a giant windbag about this, so I'll wrap this up by saying this is allllllll for Lainey, who, despite her near-constant insistence to the contrary, is in FACT the actual best. Don't tell her I told you this, but she's kind of my muse, shhh. She's the reason I finally got my act together and finished this monster. I love her dearly for all she does and all she createsand all the praise she showers me with whut.

Subject. Azula and Zuko of the Fire Nation
Title. What You Could and Might Have Been
Notes. What do I even have to say about these two that I haven't already said? I've said it all. I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE, but let me c&p my tag vomit from tumblr so you can have an approximation of my feelings (because apparently the only way I can express myself these days is via tumblr tags, sigh):

#my azula feels: the neverending story part 400000000 #darling ruthless ruined prodigy who never smiles with teeth until she's splitting at the seams #who when she expects to be rewarded for all her efforts and all her precision and all her unwavering devotion to the cause...isn't #because ozai is a terrible father: things we know #especially to zuko but also (also!) to azula #because all he gives her - in the end - is an empty palace and an empty title #and none of the respect/power she has been conditioned to crave her whole life #she's not a nice lady but ugh #AZUUUUULA #and her brother #this mix is also about her brother #whose journey is - in a sense - azula's in reverse #discovery of true self/power vs. loss thereof #and how they are both instruments of their father's agenda #take my feelings box i don't want it anymoreAnyway, I tried to balance the focus of this mix evenly between the two but lbr I more than likely failed because I do tend to play favorites (read: this has a slight Aluza slant to it, sorry I'm not sorry). Songs marked with a ◊ denote Azula's POV, with a ♦ denote Zuko's POV. Undesignated songs have a general/dual focus.
THE END

Subject. Cato/Clove
Title. We Were Hungry Before We Were Born
Notes. On the subject of cover art, you'll notice that I didn't use Isabelle Fuhrman as Clove, which is by no means to say that I didn't enjoy Isabelle's performance. I think she's a stunning actress and it was a joy to watch her all alight with malice at every turn, but for the intents and purposes of this ficmix, I wanted to make Clove of an age with Cato, and Isabelle is definitely a smidge on the young side of things. Laya Lewis is who I pictured as Clove as I read the books (don't me ask why, because I couldn't tell you), so I used her. I may have taken a few liberties in the fic, bent a few rules of canon here or there. It's been a few months since I finished the books so I'm a bit hazy on the details. Oh, and I'm dedicating this to the glorious Mimi! You all should head over and request/fill prompts for the Careers comment ficathon she got started.
