<blockquote>Before the flute is a flute, it is a bird. This is the first act of magic. This is the first lesson the girl learns, when the world is still young and shaggy-coated with lingering winter. Sometimes things can be other things. An axehead hides in a chunk of flint. Before it is a meal, a mammoth is a squealing calf tagging along behind its mother. A fox is a white spirit barking curses until an arrow finds it and turns it into a friend that shields your ears from the wind’s teeth. And before it is a flute, a bird is a song lodged in a treetop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Damen Vasileus, lead singer of rock band Akielos, is struggling to wrest control of the band from his brother and ex-fiancee. Laurent de Vere, highly acclaimed child star trying to transition to an adult career, is having a PR crisis after spitting on a co-star. A new romance would make Jokaste jealous and soften Laurent's image; maybe they can help each other out…</blockquote> ➤ I'm honestly pleasantly surprised by the lyrics to Damen's band's songs, like, I'd listen to some of those

<blockquote>He's sitting in a car with all of his belongings in the back seat and his hands wrapped around the steering wheel, admitting to himself that a stupid, dizzy firework of a one-night-stand with a man he'd barely known is one of the only bright memories he has right now. [In which Enjolras and Grantaire make some music, make some terrible decisions, and make a habit out of doing everything in the wrong order.]</blockquote> ➤ the grantaire-pov remix of The People Sing by littledust

<blockquote>Cosette, an aspiring musician, is certain she's locked into her terrible recording contract forever and the public will never get to hear her music. Then a mysterious DJ named Enjolras remixes one of her original demos. She follows his digital trail to a club called the ABC, where she's offered the chance to join the music revolution. What ensues includes romance, past lives revealed, the making of an album, and a protest concert.</blockquote> ➤ inspired by the DJenjolras twitter originally

<blockquote>Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again, I done told you once—you son of a bitch—I'm the best that's ever been."</blockquote> ➤ fanfic of a song about a devil trying (and failing) to bet a musician's soul away based on who's the better musician. And what a great place to take the premise.

<blockquote>The first time they actually met, Dazzle had a backstage pass and Prisma was busy putting all of her energy into projecting the Prisma Experience, because you couldn't just turn off being the frontwoman for Prisma and the Dream Girls, not when tickets easily went for several hundred dollars a pop and especially not when you were as black and as fabulous as she was. There were other people with passes, too, mostly excited girls of various ages under twenty, but none of them were dressed like Dazzle was. Why would they be? Prisma's act was a family-friendly gig, not quite Disney-Channel sanitized but not the sort of thing most parents would worry if their kids liked, whereas Dazzle was the lead—"Ringmaster," said their liner notes—of the one and only Freakshow, which meant her preferred look involved stomping around in black leather and wearing face makeup that looked like a kabuki explosion. The other attendees gave her a wide berth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Felicity is classically-trained and spends her days coming up with a capella compositions and remixes [and has a youtube channel]. Oliver is the lead singer of Arrow, the hottest new rock and roll band.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Ragnar and Lagertha hear Athelstan busking in a park by chance on the same day they lose their opening act. They convince him to come along with them as they tour their way across the country, and he fits into their lives better than they ever could have hoped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“I am enchanted with you,” said Bossuet, and these words, not chosen well, were spoken with the grace of somestairs trying to put pants on. (For the kinkmeme, prompt is: Canon-era AU where Musichetta is a famous soprano and Joly and Bossuet catch her eye when they come to the opera together.)</blockquote> ➤ OVERCOME BY FEELS

<blockquote>“Come on, come on.” Courfeyrac is leading the way. “Retweet them a few times, give some hugs, and you're a golden god. Then we get to party til dawn. Beauties on the bus.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Teyla is the beautiful one, Ronon is the enigmatic one, and Rodney, of course, is the genius one. But John, John is the star.</blockquote> ➤ A band AU, and kind of quietly tragic

<blockquote>justice_turtle asked for a Doctor Who band AU. This is... um, I let you decide what this is.</blockquote> ➤ https://bagheera-san.dreamwidth.org/413035.html

<blockquote>Marcus doesn't usually go for hipster musician types, but he's about to make an exception. A Brooklyn music scene AU.</blockquote>

<blockquote>He just wants to drum.</blockquote> ➤ the band au ➤ http://archiveofourown.org/works/108442

<blockquote>Clark is not in a band.</blockquote>

➤ a band au!

<blockquote>Because every fandom in the world needs an au where they're all in high school and in a band, OKAY. And this is that au. Ahaha. Um. With some angst, because I can't help myself, I am truly sorry. But, nothing compared to the other stuff I write.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Rodney's never heard of John Sheppard, rock-god and eco-warrior. John Sheppard thinks that's something that needs addressing.</blockquote>
