You have to blaze a new trail every time

MEDIA: Filk (text)
ORIGINAL SONG: Your House, by Alanis Morrisette (acapella). (lyrics and listen here)
SUMMARY: After going to Wonderland, Natasha is a different person, and Clint doesn't want to believe that. "Would you forgive me love, if I've become something new?"
CONTENT NOTES/WARNINGS: Trauma-induced identity problems and what could probably be called an unhealthy relationship (it's complicated).

CREATOR'S NOTES: For a better overview of what the hell happened in this verse, see this fic.

LISTEN: This will happen... eventually.

( Lyrics. )

MEDIA: Filk (text)
ORIGINAL SONG: Filthy Mind, by Amanda Ghost. (lyrics)
SUMMARY: The Academy kids are always falling apart. "And we're drowning, we're lost inside. Welcome to my filthy mind."
CONTENT NOTES/WARNINGS: Trauma-induced mental illness.

CREATOR'S NOTES: To understand this, you have to understand that there are entire verses where more than just River escaped the Academy. This one is more about them than her, to be honest, though it stands for her too, and all the kids driven crazy by that place.

LISTEN: This will happen... eventually.

MEDIA: Filk (audio and text)
ORIGINAL SONG: Mayday, by Cat Faber (lyrics and listen to here)
SUMMARY: Mayday, remixed from May-via-second-person POV. "Though both your deaths you ought to bring, you can argue with anything."
CONTENT NOTES/WARNINGS: Spoilers through the end of Late Eclipses, book four of the October Daye series.

CREATOR'S NOTES: I don't know how this happened. I was thinking of how pretty this song was and then somehow I was filking it. Filking it to tell the exact same story. No, really, why did I do this? Why am I posting this?

ORIGINAL SONG: Call Me Maybe (lyrics and listen to original here) (though let's be honest you probably have heard it)
SUMMARY: "Did they say that we're next of kin?" An unfortunate tragedy leads to an unexpected delivery. A story about building a family, set to "Call Me Maybe".
CONTENT NOTES/WARNING: Strong and repeated cursing (both in text and audio). Brief background mention of character death. Repeated casual language about insanity.

CREATOR'S NOTES: Yeah, I know everyone and their mother has parodied this song. But shhhh. This is also how the entire line got started. I don't know either.

ORIGINAL SONG: In All My Dreams I Drown (listen to original here, lyrics in decription)
SUMMARY: "Welcome to a brand-new home, a brand-new life to lead." One day a young girl shows up at Lucifer's gates. One day Natalia finds a home. A story, set to "In All My Dreams I Drown".
CONTENT NOTES/WARNING: Briefly passes over tortures done to and the death of a young (preteen-age) child (tortures are somewhat comic-canon, death is not).

CREATOR'S NOTES: The backstory behind this universe is a little complicated, so I am explaining, in case you don't manage to understand through the song. However, this filk is basically the origin story outlined, so the information A) is not entirely necessary, though it may help; and B) will spoil the story of the filk, so the explanation is below the lyrics.
