Request 1 by myrtlebroadbelt
Never Really Over - Katy Perry (Music Video)
Fic
I was addicted to this song when it first came out, and as soon as I saw the music video, I wanted to watch a full-length movie about the “get over your ex” retreat depicted. I love the hippie aesthetic and the sense of magic and mysticism — or at least some very powerful psychedelics.
Two movies that come to mind with similar vibes are The Lobster and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’d love something that takes a closer look at the retreat and its methods. Based on the ending (and the song’s lyrics), they’re not particularly effective. But what is it like there?
I’d be interested in something that explores the main character more closely, or takes a look at minor characters who are going through something similar of their own.

I Will Follow You into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie (Song)
Fic
I’m slightly obsessed with stories that explore death and the afterlife, so this song really clicks with me, and I find it way more romantic than most conventional love songs.
I’d love something that actually explores the characters’ journey together after death. How and when did they die? Are Heaven and Hell actual motels with “No Vacancy” signs? If the narrator is in limbo for renouncing Catholicism, what is their lover there for? Have fun with the concept.

Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) - Kate Bush (Song)
Fic
I was admittedly introduced to this song via an amazing cover by First Aid Kit and have since gotten into the original. It would be cool to read something that literally depicts the scenario presented in the song — a couple switching experiences thanks to a deal with God. Do they switch bodies or see things through each other’s eyes, or something else?
The one line that caught me when I first listened was “running up that building.” Is God really at the top of a building, at the top of a hill, at the top of a road? Be as literal as you’d like with it.

Store - Carly Rae Jepsen (Song)
Fic
Carly Rae Jepsen is pure joy distilled into music. Ironically, “Store” isn’t even one of my favorite or most-listened-to songs of hers, but I just love that it exists. I’m so tickled by the juxtaposition of the seemingly serious verses with the silly chorus, and also that it’s from the perspective of a character we’d typically dislike.
I love the idea that the narrator and their lover really did go to the store together after the narrator bailed on their relationship. What kind of store was it? What did they do there? Does the lover work there? Did the narrator initially intend to return but decide to run away after they got there? Have fun with it, and feel free to insert plenty of humor.

Another Place - Bastille (Song)
Fic
The alternate universe song! Let’s get timey-wimey. Show me different ways a relationship could have gone compared to what actually happened. Maybe throw in some literal time travel and/or dimension-hopping.
Feel free to get bittersweet with the tone, or turn it into a fix-it fic where the couple tries to mend their broken relationship by playing around with space and time. There’s a line about seeing themselves in the mirror – is this a “Through the Looking Glass” situation?
