Just Routine Fanmix
The mix is from Bruce’s POV (with a few exceptions, which are noted). All based on various passages from the fic
Part One
01. Outside Looking In (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
No more twists or crooked turns, leaving room for doubt
Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection
Now I only hear the noise of what I am without
Bruce noticed the spark the instant Alex Conners sauntered up to Johnny, challenging his former teacher to see what he’d taken a decade ago; (a time when everyone in the room but Bruce had known John as Johnny the teacher and Johnny the fiancé.)
02. Wise Up (Aimee Mann)
You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
“I can’t let him perfect the process.... I’ve got to believe stopping him will save more lives....”
03. Do What You have to do (Sarah McLachlan)
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
“You’re going to get close to him. Just to mess up the formula, make him think it’s a design flaw.” He shook his head. “God, John. There has to be another way.”
04. One Night is Not Enough (Snow Patrol)
You left your door wide open
Couldn't help but walk in
It's the last place I should be
But I'm dying to see you
Through the half-open doors he could see the bed. A chill ran up his spine. He suddenly felt disconnected from his body. He stared at the figures entwined on top of the dark bed sheets.
05. What Would Happen (Meredith Brooks)
What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
In his better dreams Bruce would slide over Johnny's body as gentle hands caressed his sides. "What took so long?" Johnny would ask. Bruce responded that he didn't know. He kissed the parted lips with a silent promise that no more time would be wasted.
06. The Fear (Pulp)
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed & it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot -
making out that they're okay when they're not.
Bruce closed his eyes helplessly and swallowed his heartache. "This is crazy, John. You can’t keep living like this."
Bruce opened his eyes to Johnny angrily taking a step forward. "You think I want this?" the blonde demanded. He spread his arms. "You think I like the fact that I can't shake someone's hand without seeing crazy things?"
Part Two
07. Superman (It’s not easy) (Five for Fighting)
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
“Guess there’s a reason you’re the star pupil,” Bruce muttered sarcastically; no one actually paid attention to him, anyway. Why had Johnny called him along if he was going to be the third wheel?
08. Apocalypse Please (Muse)
this is the end of the world
it's time we saw a miracle
come on it's time for something biblical
“I see fire.” Johnny wore a haunted expression. “I see the end of the world.”
09. One of these Mornings (Moby)
One of these mornings
Won't be very long
You will look for me
And I'll be gone
“It’s a deal with the devil,” Bruce said quietly. Alex’s head jerked up with a wide-eyed stare. “John can be an idiot that way.”
10. Samson (
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
“You’re the one always helping him. I bet you’re the only one who knows about these Stillson visions. So what’s it like to be a psychic’s best friend?”
11. A Rush of Blood to the Head (Coldplay)
Alex pov
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
Do back the things it did to you in return
“I’m going back,” Alex announced, meeting Bruce’s expectant stare. “I can destroy the hard drive and get rid of the samples. There’s nothing they’ll be able to do.”
12. For the Damaged (Blonde Redhead)
Maybe again he will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
He couldn’t hear Alex but wasn’t convinced that meant the guy had been smart enough, or lucky enough, to escape.
Part Three
13. What’s Simple is True (Jewel)
Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
His head hurt like hell. Though details and coherency currently eluded him, he knew Alex was gone.
“I’m sorry, John...”
14. This Woman’s Work (Kate Bush)
Johnny / Alex
Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.
He didn’t want to turn around and see Johnny’s arms cradling Alex’s burned and bloody body. A person wasn’t supposed to smoke like that. Things shouldn’t have happened like this. It didn’t have to happen like this.
15. Wish You Were Here (Rasputina)
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
The funeral was set for a week later. Bruce stuck with Johnny the entire time, overlooking the frustrated glances he got and the mood swings when they came. Sarah stopped by daily and always left with tears in her eyes. Johnny alternated ignoring Bruce with hiding away in a locked room or the basement.
16. Milk (Garbage)
I’m waiting I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples tiredly. He didn’t know where Johnny would lead him next.
17. Dante’s Prayer (Loreena McKennitt)
Alex pov, Johnny/Alex
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
