Het Big Bang 2022 Fanmix: Stronger Together

***

Title: Stronger Together
Artist: MistressKat / kat_lair
Author: jedibuttercup 
Fandom: Sleep Hollow (TV)
Pairing: Ichabod Crane/Abbie Mills
Rating: G for mix, T for fic

Story Summary: It might not be the time to act on the realisations he'd lately made, but Ichabod would not pretend the emotions didn't exist; that was how he had ended up failing her before. And not a particle of his being wanted Abigail Mills to think she wasn't wanted.

Artist notes: The songs I've chosen reflect the underlying theme of the story, which for me was the unexpectedness of love, of finding it in a place it wasn't supposed to be, as the lyrics of the final song put it. And how for Ichabod, finding Abbie was tantamount to coming alive again in more ways than one, to finding sunlight in the darkest places.

1. A Long Year ~ Miracle of Sound
And I know the world's gone wrong
But you're still present, you're still strong
Hold on
Through all your pain and all your tears
You're still resolute
And you're still here

2. Until You ~ AHI
I was one of the wandering
Trying to fight through the elements 
Time stood still when you first walked in 
Fate made plans I could never predict
I was empty, lost without a clue
Until now
Until you

3. Hang On To Me ~ Natalie Taylor, Donovan Woods
Nobody knows me like you know me, darling
Maybe I'm scared by that
But now I'm standing in your doorway and I know it's been a long time
I'm trying to stop but I keep staring at you
And your staring right back
I know we both tried to run but it's right
And I'm right here

4. Hold My Hand ~ Wild Pink, Julien Baker
Moonless night like a dreamless sleep
I was lost like a ring of keys
But you were there like light in the morning
You brought the birds back with a song in my tree

5. River ~ Patrick Droney
Oh if time is a river
Running well lets be stones underwater carry each other
And stay in the moment
Don't try to hold it the tides gonna pull you
Let it move through you
'Cause the waves can't wash away the love we know
Not today, not tomorrow

6. Sunlight ~ Hozier
Each day, you'd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight


7. I Found ~ Amber Run
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me
