I'm thinking I might share a fanfic I wrote with my parents.

Now, they know I write it, and that I read it, but I've never let them see it. Mostly because they don't watch or read the shows/books I write fic for.

However, I am considering. They did all watch the end of Buffy, and they sort of have most of the latter half of season 7 figured out.

So I think I might show them my very short post-chosen shansu fic. Do you guys think this is a fic that will go over ok with skeptical newbies?

song meme from voleuse

If I understand this meme correctly, I'm just naming good songs here.

R - "Rakuen" from the Trigun Soundtrack
A - "Again" - by Lenny Kravtiz
S - "Singing In My Sleep" by Semisonic
H - "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles, Abbey Road
A - "Acoustic #13" by The Goo Goo Dolls
K - "Kriptonite" by Three Doors Down
A - "Anything" by Third Eye Blind

music goes around, comes around, in the most unlikely of places.

So, if any of you all have watched all of Cowboy Bebop (::laughs maniacally for kimberly_a, who just found the show::), you'll know that the last thing seen are the words

YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT

...in bottom corner of the screen.

Now, I didn't understand this for a long time. I mean, I literally understood the technical meaning of the statement, but I didn't grasp the full significance.

Well, not until my parents insisted on listening to the Abbey Road album by the Beatles, yet again, on the boat-- I swear every time we go on the boat it's always the same two CDs: the Micheal Soundtrack and Abbey Road.

Anyway, but what should I hear on this CD other than a song called "Carry That Weight", and the endless repetition of the John, Paul, George, & Ringo harmonizing over and over again You're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight, a long time.

Suddenly, it all made sense! I *got* it! I felt in-the-know, and was disgustingly delighted in the way that only someone whose regular hobby is fandom gushing can truly understand.

My parents didn't understand, of course. But I did! And listening to that song, it does fit with the end. Perfectly.
