konstantyaTitle: Falling
Fandom: Hetalia
Characters/pairings: Austria/Hungary
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A rather conceptual two-part Austria/Hungary FST, following history, affection, and hostility. Not necessarily in that order.
You might notice that the vocalists alternate between male and femaleor at least you will now. That's on purpose, as this FST is meant to be something of a dialogue between the two. Enjoy! :D This idea is finally out of my head, finally finally finally!
EDIT: No longer available for download. However, if particularly interested, let me know and I'll re-upload the files.
(Notes: 16 tracks, 3 in .wma format, all others in .mp3. Total run time: 1:12:42.)
1. Fiona Apple – “Extraordinary Machine”
Hungary becomes part of the Holy Roman Empire. For now.
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I’ll make the most of it
I’m an extraordinary machine
2. Billy Joel – “She’s Always a Woman”
She keeps raising hell, but there’s something about her, isn’t there?
She’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself, ‘cause she’s always a woman to me
3. She & Him – “You Really Got a Hold On Me”
Casual anthem for a hopeless tsundere.
I don’t like you, but I love you
Seems like I’m always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
4. Aqualung – “Strange and Beautiful (I’ll Put a Spell On You)”
Austria pines. Elegantly.
I’ve been watching your world from afar
I’ve been trying to be where you are
And I’ve been secretly falling apart, unseen
5. Lauryn Hill – “Ex-Factor”
This love/hate thing we have going is getting less and less fun…
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain’t working, it ain’t working
6. Death Cab For Cutie – “Lightness”
You know, Austria, if you could get over the whole “it’s improper to have an affair with thesecretary maid” thing, this might be easier…
Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn’t think what you’re feeling
They don’t tell you what
You know you should want
7. Fiona Apple – “Get Gone”
That’s it. It’s 1848, and she’s revolting. For realz.
How many times can it escalate
‘Til it elevates to a place I can’t breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I’m much obliged to up and go
8. Elvis Costello – “I Want You”
The thing about love is that—like revolutions—it isn’t always pretty.
I want you
You’ve had your fun, you don’t get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful, darling, you might fall…
9. Poe – “Wild” [short edit]
Suck it, Austria. She’s independent, and she’s kicking your ass.
Well, we both know that you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you get me there
Let's be honest, perhaps this little ride
Is too much for even you to bear
10. The Killers – “Leave theVodka Bourbon On the Shelf”
Maybe it’s more obsession than love… (Also, note to self: Don’t piss off the guy who’s friends with Russia.)
Darling, don’t you see
I’m not satisfied until I hold you tight
11. Nancy Sinatra – “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”
Just for the record, Austria? You’re a dick.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
12. The Cure – “Boys Don’t Cry” [acoustic]
Well, now that order is returned, I can look back at this objectively and conclude that— Shit. I am a dick. DX
I would say I’m sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind
13. Ani DiFranco – “Done Wrong”
Here’s your coffee. I spit in it.
And now I’m tired and I am broke
And I feel stupid and I feel used
And I’m at the end of my little rope
And I am swinging back and forth about you
14. Jimmy Eat World – “23”
So, um, I know I fucked up, and you have no real reason to forgive me, but there’s this thing… You see, I need to get married…I still love you will you be my wife plzkthx
I won’t always love what I’ll never have
I won’t always live in my regrets
15. Marketa Irglova – “If You Want Me”
This is a compromise. A Compromise. Not me warming back up to you or anything. Yeah.
And I’ll do
What you ask me
If you’ll let me be
Free
16. Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morissette – “Call and Answer” [live]
So…you want to start over?
Now it’s time to prove
That you’ve come back here to rebuild
(Notes: 15 tracks, all in .mp3 format. Total run time: 1:03:55.)
1. Azure Ray – “The Drinks We Drank Last Night”
The honeymoon’s over, folks.
Riding on these waves
Holding onto what you say
Everything will be okay
It will work out one way
2. The Decemberists – “A Record Year For Rainfall”
Dual monarchies are tricky things.
What’s the use of all of this?
It’s to remember you in the entire
‘Cause I’m watching it slip away
And in the annals of the empire
Did it look this grey before the fall?
3. Tori Amos – “Goodbye Pisces”
You just had to start World War I, didn’t you, Austria?
We’ve done this before
As Mars sauntered through his door
Don’t say—it’s time to say it:
Goodbye to Pisces
4. Glen Hansard – “Say It To Me Now”
Okay, so we lost, big time. What do you want to make of it?
‘Cause this is what you’ve waited for
Your chance to even up the score
5. Shawn Colvin – “Get Out of This House”
A divorce, actually. I’m seriously, completely done with your shit, for once and for all. Why did I marry you again?
Go jump in the lake, go jump out the door
Get out, get out of this house
I’ve had all that I can stand and I can’t stand no more
Get out, get out of this house
6. Keane – “Leaving So Soon?”
You know, I really don’t know, considering you were lousy maid and a lousier wife. So leave. Good riddance.
Don’t look back
If I’m a weight around your neck
‘Cause if you don’t need me
I don’t need you
7. Kelly Clarkson – “Since You’ve Been Gone”
Having you out of my life is awesome! Awesome, you hear me? Awesome!
Since you’ve been gone, I can breathe for the first time
I’m so moving on, yeah, yeah!
Thanks to you now I get what I want
Since you’ve been gone…
8. Jason Mraz – “Please Don’t Tell Her”
Good. Same here. Just ignore the wheelchair.
So why after the all of everything that came and went
I care enough to still be singing of the bitter end and broken eras?
I told you I don’t, but…
9. Fiona Apple – “Waltz (Better Than Fine)”
That being single thing? Still awesome. I swear. Never mind that whole Great Depression thing.
If you don’t have a song to sing, it’s okay
You know how to get along, humming
10. Damien Rice – “Prague”
Congratulations, Austria. Not only are you now part of Nazi Germany, but you’re also allied with your ex. On the bright side, it probably can’t get any worse.
I’m all wrapped up in you
I’m all wrapped up in him, too
Prepare myself for a war
And I don’t know what I’m doing this for
11. Imogen Heap – “Shine”
Pre-1956 Hungary laughs at your forced communism!
I will not cry and I will not die, no
I will be there for me
I will not cry and I will be mine
I’ll shine, shine
12. Beck – “Lost Cause”
I’m neutral now, and you’re part of the Eastern Bloc, and that’s all there is to it, really. But… But…
Your sorry eyes cut through bone
Make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here, wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new…
13. Azure Ray – “Raining In Athens”
Post-1956 Hungary doesn’t find it so funny anymore…
So when this summer, you call, maybe
And ask how I’ve been
I can be honest and answer plainly:
Since November, it’s been raining
14. Death Cab For Cutie – “No Joy In Mudville”
You know…I do miss you sometimes…
If I could have had my way
This year would bridge ’66 again
15. The Hush Sound – “Echo”
Welcome to the picnic. It’s been a while.
You were the navigator who never could lead
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink
Falling: in
Falling: out
Bonusbecause good god this has been in my head for FOREVER, and if I don't post it SOMEWHERE I'll go crazy:
Cansei De Ser Sexy – “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex"
What Austria sings when NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND TO HEAR. NO LYRICS ARE NECESSARY.If nothing else download this one. XD
A comment would be awesome if you download anything. But I can't, like, force you to or anything, so by no means do you have to. Obviously. Yanno, just saying.

Date: 2010-08-03 05:27 am (UTC)I love this couple to death, but it really can't be denied that they're not all butterflies and rainbows.
although some of my fanworks state otherwise... aside from which in my headcanon, Austria wasn't too much of a jerk... ^^;There's a whole lot of drama involved as well.But one could hope that if a real couple would go through such hardships and somehow (miraculously...) find their way back together, then their love would be a lot more stronger than before, right? XD

AND THERE ISN'T ENOUGH LOVE FOR THIS PAIR, SRSLY, so I'm desperate enough that anything and everything will do lol. /sadstanTotally downloading the bonus song too. XD
And I have very fond memories with the song "Bang Bang". omg I love you for this ;A;♥

Date: 2010-08-03 02:51 pm (UTC)There's such a long history between them that I definitely think there's something there that can't be denied, even after (or perhaps because of) those hardships, and, believe it or not, I do think they finally get into a healthy, if somewhat casual, relationship post-Iron Curtain. XD
Before I forget, hope you enjoy it! :D

Date: 2010-08-03 02:59 pm (UTC)EXACTLY. XD
Thank you! ^_^ I hope it's as audibly enjoyable as it was literarily.

If the history was actually like the canon portrayal, I'd probably be all over Prussia/Hungary instead. Or a pairing involving Belarus. XDThank you for commenting! Hope you like it. ^^

Date: 2010-08-03 04:23 pm (UTC)That's actually quite reassuring. I have all this head-canon, but not all of it gets into the fics, and so I sometimes wonder if it makes as much sense or reads as cohesively to other people as it does to me. ^^'
