Storm Chasers

After what seems like forever, I’ve finally managed to write a new song! This one is for @iskabee for writing Liminal.

Storm Chasers
By Ingrid Windsland

If you summon the thunder
I’ll bring the rain
And if we stand in silence
We can pretend
To be together again

It only gives when I give in
This game that we’ve been playing
When your presence marks my skin
With goosebumps, courage fraying

And I know you don’t want my guilt
It sticks like humid weather
Teal disdain leaks from your soul
From wounds we made together

If you summon the thunder
I’ll bring the rain
And if we stand in silence
We can pretend
To be together again

You only give when I don’t pull
But never what I’m craving
What was us now paints your skin
Soft scar tissue fading

And you know I can’t give you my heart
It’s lost in stormy weather
But if you smash the hourglass
We can search for it together

If you summon the thunder
I’ll bring the rain
And if we stand in silence
We can pretend

If you summon the thunder
I’ll bring the rain
And if we stand together
We can pretend

Cause if you summon the thunder
I’ll bring the rain
And if we stand in silence
We can pretend
To be together again

All We Can Do – Crystal Geometry

A cheeky song about Garnet (and the others) looking after baby Steven!
Tagging the usual crowd plus some who I think might like it: @bluespacequeen @jen-iii @jasper-jen @basicblokc @harley-stuck-30

This is based on two one-shots, whose writers have very kindly let me use. The first is this one by @cardassian-andorian – the first verse is basically lifted from it (with adjustments for rhyming). The second is A Moment of Rest by @squaremomgsquad. Both are lovely adorable pieces with a wholesome dose of Rupphire as well, so go read them and leave all the reviews! The rest of the song is my own stuff. It’s also the first I’ve recorded with my new mic so I hope the buzz is slightly less!

If you like this song, check out my other 2 Steven Universe fansongs!
Lyrics (cut because it’s very wordy):

He’s on the warp pad, in the fridge, he’s on the couch, he’s on the ladder
He’s outside, inside, on the roof, floor, television, kitchen counter
He’s crawling everywhere, and Garnet’s got to keep her wits about her – her future vision’s going wild…

Pure of Heart – Araxie Haldane

It was only a matter of time before I wrote a filk inspired by The Last Mabelcorn. Don’t let the unicorns get you down.

Lyrics:
The unicorn smiled when she saw you approaching her fountain
“Just one little test” she demanded and shot you a grin
“Just prove that your heart is as pure as the dew on the snowdrops
You’ll foul my glade if you’re wicked and tainted with sin.”
CHORUS:
Don’t fall for the lies of those cruel unicorns
You’ve been messy and mortal since the day you were born
If you try to be perfect it’s just gonna tear you apart.
They want you to break yourself down till you shatter
They’ll say that you’re selfish for knowing you matter
So be brave and tenacious and loving and joyful and smart
But forget pure of heart.
“My lady,” you said, “I can’t claim that my spirit is blameless,
But I try to do good and to help in the ways I know how
My heart’s filled with love for myself and the people around me
And I’ll strive to do more and be better and stronger, I vow!”
CHORUS
The unicorn scoffed and she drew back her head with a shudder.
“I knew it! You arrogant mortals have never been pure!
Perhaps if you’re humble enough you may gain some forgiveness
But you’ll never be perfect. You’re sullied, and I have no cure!”
CHORUS
“Well, what have you done then?” you said as you stood up and faced her
“Just sit in this glade telling people the things they can’t do.
There isn’t a deed or a person who’s ever been perfect
And I may not be pure but I’ve damn well done more good than you!”
CHORUS
If you’re careful you’ll notice that unicorns live all around us
You can tell by the smugly superior look in their eyes.
They’ll enumerate each of your flaws with distain in their voices.
They’ll all tell you you have to be perfect; they’ll all tell you lies!
Don’t fall for the lies of those cruel unicorns
We’ve been messy and mortal since the day we were born
If we try to be perfect it’s just gonna tear us apart.
I won’t let the world break me down till I shatter
I’d rather be selfish than think I don’t matter!
I’m brave and tenacious and loving and joyful and smart
But I’m not pure of heart.

Here’s my piece for Day 7 of The Power Of Mabel Week! It’s a filk (lyrics under the cut)! Thank you so much to everyone else who contributed and made this week such a success (and if you haven’t finished something that’s okay–Mabel Week may officially be over today, but it lives on in my heart and I’d love to see more things that people create)
Much love to all of you and to our beautiful star child.
