My phone! Since Saturday my phone has been freezing whenever I tried to enter text (not just texting, but tweeting and the internet, too - this is why the v-gifts I sent out didn't have text, because I was trying to covertly do that at work) but today I finally did a factory reset and it works again! After only a half hour of trying to remember the password to the phone gmail account I never use! *flops over*

Oh hey, there's a song lyrics/titles meme going around, isn't there! (ganked from musesfool and at least one other person)

I actually thought I did this more than I apparently do, probably because I use lyrics as post titles all the time.

If I Lay Here - "Counting Cars" by Snow Patrol. Since it was comment fic for artmetica's gorgeous "Just Forget the World" raiding the same song seemed like the thing to do.

Shimmer and Shine - "Shimmer and Shine" by Ben Harper and the Furious Five. This always pinged me as a S4 Dean/Cas song, with all the "I'm kicking out stained glass windows" and "I've done what I can/Now I'll do what I must".

Cold, Cold Water - "Cold Water" by Damien Rice. Gorgeous, sparse song. "Cold, cold water surrounds me now/And all I've got is your hand/Lord, can you hear me now?/Lord, can you hear me now?/Lord, can you hear me now?/Or am I lost?"

Some Things That are Broken and Some Things to Hold Tight - "Drunken Angel" by Thea Gilmore. "Down to Nowhere" is the song I had on repeat while writing this (it's my 2014!Claire song, even though she's only in the story for five lines or so) but I didn't think any of the lyrics worked as a title so I raided Thea Gilmore lyrics until I found one I liked.:)

Learn Your Body Like a Nursery Rhyme in Braille - "Tear It All Down" by Thea Gilmore. As soon as I had the idea of Dean needing to keeping his eyes closed I knew that would be title. Pretty self-explanatory, I think.:)

'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky - "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. You have no idea how long I wanted to use this for a 2014!Cas story, and this was the perfect opportunity. "Purple haze all around/Don't know if I'm comin' up or down/Am I happy or in misery?/Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me" indeed.

Goes Off Like A Gun - "Brighter Than the Sun" by Colbie Caillat. Another Dean/Cas song in my brain, although obviously a lot fluffier than the fic.

Come Tomorrow I'll Be Gone - "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Heard this randomly on the radio and knew.:)

Carve Your Name Into My Arm - "Every You Every Me" by Placebo. Could not be more of a Dean/Cas song if it tried.:)

Outrun My Gun - "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People. This and "Faster Than My Bullet" were my two working titles because I did more of my plotting to Pumped Up Kicks on repeat, and then when I could not think of anything else I just gave up and kept it.:)

Come On Up, Lay Your Hands In Mine - "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen. Another last minute title scramble where I could not come up with something, the posting date loomed, then I heard this on the radio and realized, "Well, that's it then."

Kiss The Rain - "Kiss The Rain" by Billie Myers. Look, it's Nick and Ellis making out in the rain. There's not always a deep story.:)

Leave The Confusion and All Disillusion - "Volare" by Dean Martin. Picture this playing in the background when Neal meets Book.
