Writing Soundtrack for The Hellion Prince

This soundtrack, while it's one that people have inquired about, is a little awkward for me to discuss. I'm only about a third of the way through The Hellion Prince, and while I know what comes next, the vast majority of you do not (exceptions being celebros , elf_amazon , and to some extent handgun  & lesyeuxouverts ).

 

That means that I can share this list with you, and even highlight meaningful lyrics, but in more than a few instances I can't really talk about why these songs are meaningful to me and to the story. Initially, I tried to put these songs in an order that was more or less chronological, based on what in the novel they related to, but the result was... really revealing, and so the order now is mostly the order in which they got added to the playlist. You're free to speculate, however, and there will be no explicit, specific spoilers, save for what Chekov's Gun would already have indicated. So. This should be interesting...

 

 

( 34 songs )

It still feels to me like something is missing from this list, though -- if anyone has any suggestions about other songs that might fit, I'd be delighted to hear them.
 

Tacos and News.

( Secret Savory Taco Recipe )

The recipe is secret only because elf_amazon  has a psychosomatic aversion to a couple of the essential ingredients -- she enjoys the tacos now but might not if she knew the Sekrit.

In other news, I finished the rough draft of Chapter Ten today; one brief editing pass and it should be ready to go up tomorrow evening sometime.
