I made a playlist for @katdeerly 's "you remind me of someone (it's probably you)"

I heard one of these songs a week back and it immediately made me think of this fic. I immediately dmd Kat because I'm an obnoxious fan girl for her and this fic. So when this challenge came up I was 1 song down 10 to go lol. ( I edited because I forgot I added the darkness in the final hour leaving the final count to 11)

Someone new- Hozier

Steve coded. This universe Steve coded. That's all I'll say. Vibes vibes vibes and Steve.

Up all night- the boomtown rats

This is the song that screamed at me. It's Steve. It's ho. Wandering the city with insomnia. I can see it like a movie and if this fic had a soundtrack this being on it would be incredible to me.

Family line - Conan Gray

This felt very Eddie in this fic coded to me. The family dynamic he struggles with and how he relates and doesn't is so poignant in this fic and a big part of what I love about it. The theme woven in this fic about belonging resonated with me deep and is a big reason why I love it so much.

Why am I like this?- orla gartland

Steve coded but I think both characters in this fic struggle in ways that make this song resonate with me in the lens of his fic. It felt very much in line with Steve's inner monologue on page and potentially off page with what's happening around him. Feeling conflicted about the predicaments he found himself and the patterns he falls into having the bleeding heart he does.

Softness as a weapon - kindness

This felt like the moments Steve and Eddie come together and in moments of friendship, authenticity and vulnerability they show parts of themselves to each other and those are the cracks where the love spills out and the fall for one another.

TRY- Madison McFerrin

Again. More vibes. The way their friendship evolves with a love under the surface under a veil of secrecy and a lie. I can't explain it but it fit in my mind in some way and I loved it for this and them.

Sometimes - mannequin pussy

"And why'd you go and take your life

And try to fit it into mine?

I know that it's not right for us

To stay

But sometimes

Oh, sometimes

(Come and leave your lonesome ways behind)

Oh, sometimes"

It's them, your honor. I won't take any questions at this time.

Don't delete the kisses- wolf alice

Oh God, this one. Ok so the whole foundation of Steve in this one is he falls in love with everyone he meets so easily. He's everything to everyone as he puts together the puzzle pieces of a found family together after his own family of origin slipping away.

Parts of the song feels like that and how his friendship with Eddie and the Wheelers evolves ... And then when conflict arises ... It all comes crashing down-

"what. If. It's. Not. Meant. For. Me? Love. "

Big black car- Gregory Alan isakov

I hate to say this again but don't say I didn't warn you... This song just felt the way this fic felt. So again. My redundant ass says, vibes.

These days- Nico

After the conflict but before the resolution vibes. Steve wandering the city evolving in the "after".

I believe in a thing called love - the darkness

Last chapter resolution vibes. I also feel like it's end credits magic. ( I know I can't help it, I moviefied it again, I'm sorry. ) And besides that, I thought it was a fun way to end the playlist.
