'Adonai'. Lucy. G. Written for Narnia Exchange.

Oren Lavie, the guy who sang the memory tree song on the 'Prince Caspian' soundtrack, has a song called "A Dream Within A Dream". Coincidence?! Did he write that song for the Narnia soundtrack but then it got rejected because it was too dark? Like Imogen Heap, apparently? The lyrics are pretty apt. "Caught within a dream within a dream/A man within a man."

In other Narnia-related news, the fic I wrote for Narnia Exchange is up. This year I ended up writing for [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil, which I was initially D: at because it can be more difficult writing something for someone you know than someone you don't. But I guess it turned out okay, so hooray! Last year I wrote for someone who didn't even holla back when the fic was posted, which was very sadface. Oh well, no sadfacing now though.

Adonai
Narnia. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, Peter(, Aslan). G. Spoilers for VotDT. Thank you to Wyrm and Bedlam for the beta.
Lucy knows Aslan by many names. ~3300 words

In Narnia- AND music-related news, there are 3 songs that have become indelibly associated with this fic in my mind, and here is the tracklist in plot-relevant order:
1. Holcombe Waller, "But You"
2. Sufjan Stevens, "To Be Alone With You"
3. Emiliana Torrini, "Serenade"


In my grand tradition of overdoing things, I've uploaded these songs as a sort of mini-soundtrack, and you can download the RAR file here. And yes, I've come to terms with the fact that I am incapable of not including Sufjan Stevens on any sort of fandom-related mix.


Relevant to my fandoms.

...Holy shit, that Santa is pretty terrifying.

That's actually the first Sufjan Stevens song I ever heard and it's still my favorite ♥

It's so wistful and lovely, I love it.

I really like that Imogen Heap song that got rejected, and I... kind of can't stand her music. So! Narnia makes everything good, that's the lesson I've learned.

a mini-soundtrack!!! I am so excited for this. I love you and your music. In fact, today I was looking at these cds they were selling at a hip decorating store and there was this "Asian groove" stuff and I was like, "Have I heard of any of these people? HE LOOKS FAMILIAR" but I don't even remember now. anyway, <3 rock on. also I have not yet heard this Sufjan song so thank you for coming to terms with his irresistibility :))

(that santa looks like he's going to eat someone! D:)

Haha, aww! I don't mind her stuff. and hee, narnia: the spice of life?!

Oh man he has written like ten million songs. I still kind of wish he'll make another state CD soon.

That Santa is gonna give some kid issues!
