Now, I'm used to mentally assigning songs to characters/situations. I'm used to plotting imaginary songvids that I never actually do. I'm used to the urge to repeat a song over and over and over while writing.

However, I'm currently sniggering at myself. My song for Ianto? Is Ani Difranco's "Studying Stones". *giggles*

Okay, most of the amusement here is coming from the way that Ianto is clearly such a woobie -- and TW itself is at one with the emo side of the force -- for me to connect in this way. The other amusement is freakin' Ani Difranco. I mean, I know Ianto isn't an alpha male, but according to my deep-down-brain, he's barely even registering as male. *snorts*

Also? Painkillers kicked in. So I'm easily amused. And my picfor1000 story refuses to... be more than three lines long.

Lyrics:

studying stones
i am out here studying stones
trying to learn to be less alive
using all of my will
to keep very still
still even on the inside
i've cut all of the pertinent wires
so my eyes can't make that connection
i am holding my breath
i am feigning my death
when i'm looking in your direction

'course numb is an old hat
old as my oldest memories
see that one's my mother
and that one's my father
and that one in the hat, that's me
it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon
when i got out on the open road
but any more pent up emotion
and i think i'm gonna explode

there's never been an endeavor so strange
as trying to slow the blood in my veins
to keep my face blank
as a stone that just sank
until not a ripple remains
i am high above the tree line
sitting cross legged on the ground
when all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted
that's when i'm gonna come down

'course numb is an old hat
old as my oldest memories
see that one's my mother
and that one's my father
and that one in the hat, that's me
it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon
when i got out on the open road
but any more pent up emotion
and i think i'm gonna explode

omg, it's angstastic.

Hee! Best way to describe it, really.

I hope you won't feel spoiled if I tell you that there's one scene with music and flashback that made me think I was watching a fanvid. Not that I'm complaining, honestly, because I'm a bit of a whore for angst. And the Doctor is wearing his glasses in the scene. TPTB would have to try very, very hard to get me to find fault with any scene in which the Doctor wears glasses.

Oh, the Doctor in glasses. I swear, I actually make these happy little squealing sounds every time he wears glasses on-screen. Ten is the geek-Doctor, truly and utterly, and I love him for it.
