YOU GUYS! YOU GUYS! running_hot WROTE a SONG for Fusion!!!

It's gorgeous. She has a beautiful voice, and the song is soft and gentle and, and just... I don't have words, okay? I really don't. Mostly it made me cry a lot.

You can listen to the "clean" version she just posted here:

There's another version with her own comments which I can link to if running_hot agrees to it.

:::ETA:::

Oops! I forgot to post her intro with it. Here it is:

So, this is running_hot. A few months ago, I wanted to write a song, and had no ideas in any way. I'd also been reading Fusion rather obsessively. As soon as I thought of those two things at the same time, this song sprung into being, complete with exciting chord structure and meaningfully unresolved ending. If you haven't read anything from the verse yet, first of all, what are you doing? Second, I would read it before you listen to the song, because it'll make more sense.

I hope you all enjoy, and if you don't enjoy it, I hope it doesn't displease you too much. If you're interested in the song itself, there's another version posted on my youtube page with an explanation attached.

:::FURTHER ETA:::

running_hot has posted the lyrics and some commentary in her LJ here. Go leave feedback there in case you didn't on YouTube!

Wow, that's so sweet and sad. I haven't read the whole 'verse but now I wanna. More good stuff to read at the beach!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's all at AO3 if you want to download them as PDFs. :)

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

I see! I really dig that feature of AO3. When I get more fics of any worth, I'll probably crosspost stuff over there too, for that very reason. Thanks!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's well worth it. LJ remains my primary posting ground, but I love AO3 for all the features. :)

OMG. That is incredibly cool...how awesome is it to inspire another artist with your art!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

how awesome is it to inspire another artist with your art!

Best. Compliment. Ever.

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* Well, I kinda think the song itself is the best compliment ever...Then again, that might have been what you meant.

;D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*sheepish*

That is what I meant. But your comment was lovely too!

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

Sorry, my afternoon coffee-filter seemed to have failed on interpretation the first go round. *chuckle*

And thank you, next time I'll try to do a comment in verse form so you know just how much I appreciate all your endless fic writing!

*cheers you*

That's just lovely! While I heard the verse all over it, I hope that doesn't stop her from taking it beyond that! It's totally relatable outside the supernatural fandom!!

How cool!

:D

It really is, isn't it? It's a gorgeous song. :)

[digitalwave]

Wow, sweetie, that is amazing, heartbreaking and hopeful all rolled into one. I don't think she could have captured the love the guys have for one another any better if she'd tried.

Truly, truly beautiful, just like the 'verse that inspired her. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Isn't it lovely? I'm all verklempt, here. :)

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

That's so cool! Lovely song too, it really fits the mood of the 'verse. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It's such a beautiful song, I've already listened to it several times and it makes me all weepy (which my own writing doesn't, so, um, IDK.).

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

Lovely. And awesome.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I know! So lovely. ♥

[yasminke.livejournal.com]

You have idolising fans!

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

That was awesome! Great lyrics, great melody, and great singer! Oh wow, you have a song written about one of your stories! That's about the coolest thing EVER!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

So cool! I am still not over it. I may never be over it! \o/

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

HAVING A SONG WRITTEN ABOUT YOUR FIC IS AWESOME!!!!!

And this looks fabulous.

*looks around sketchily* Is there any way to convince running_hot to post the lyrics... ?

[running-hot.livejournal.com]

Why, yes! Yes, there is! I'll post them over on my journal.
