The official companion playlist to Calling Home.
If it's wrong to be this emotionally invested in your own fic, I don't want to be right.
Songs in a Mercury Key is, essentially, the cream of Fifties and Sixties music I listened to while finding inspiration for Calling Home. Because so many of you were not only affected by the fic, but mentioned being moved by the music in specific, I thought some of you might appreciate something like this. The goal in compiling these songs was to be evocative of the time period, represent the central themes, and to tell a story. These are the sort of songs that Stiles and Derek would have been listening to during their relationship, and immediately after the events of the fic. I figured that since I won't be writing a sequel, I could at least do this for y'all.
The songs are intended to be listened to in order, and if you're not crying by the end of "Unchained Melody," I'm obviously not doing my job well enough. Bring the tissues.
Much love to you all,
Alchemy
