(+Notes)


PART 1 - Coming Together, Falling Apart

01 - [Skyfire] Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

But the moment that I first laid eyes… on… him…

All alone on the edge of seventeen.

(Chapters 1-11)

02 - [Silverbolt] Everywhere - Fleetwood Mac

Can you hear me calling out your name?

You know I'm falling and I don't know what to say…

(Chapters 7-10)

03 - [Skyfire] Like a Prayer - Madonna

I close my eyes

Oh God, I think I'm falling

Out of the sky, I close my eyes - heaven help me.

(Chapters 7-10)

04 - [Silverbolt] All You Wanted - Michele Branch

So lonely inside, so busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares

(Chapters 8-12)

07 - [Skyfire / Starscream] Heart Attack - Darren Hayes

Your true colours are clashing

This airplane is crashing, it's smashing

Were you even there?

'Cause I don't think you care

About anyone but yourself now

(Chapters 9-11)

06 - [Silverbolt] There's the Girl - Heart

There's the girl that you were after, feel your heart beating faster

There's the girl that you were after, all this time you can't move past her

There's the girl that you were after, broken glass, complete disaster

There's the girl that you were after - can you say that you don't want her anymore?

(Chapters 9-10)

07 - [Skyfire] Fear (Jane's Mix) - Sarah McLachlan

I have so much to lose here in this lonely place

Tangled up in our embrace

There's nothing I'd like better than to fall

But I fear… I have nothing to give.

(Chapters 11-14)

08 - [Silverbolt] SOS - ABBA

I try to reach for you

But you have closed your mind

(Chapters 15-17)

09 - [Skyfire] Into The Blue - Thea Gilmore

My god, I'm sorry -

I'm falling into blue

My god, I'm sorry -

I'm dragging you down too

(Chapters 16-17)

10 - [Silverbolt] Against All Odds - Phil Collins

How can you just walk away from me

When all I can do is watch you leave?

(Chapter 17)

11 - [Silverbolt] Believe - Dennis Martin

If from where you're standing

You can see the sky above

I'll be waiting for you

If you still believe in love

(Chapters 17-19)


PART 2 - Coming Apart, Falling Together

12 - [Silverbolt] A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

It's always times like these

When I think of you and I wonder

If you ever think of me

(Chapter 18)

13 - [Skyfire] Drought - Vienna Teng

Once I knew myself

And with knowing came love

I would know love again if I had faith enough

(Chapter 18)

14 - [Silverbolt] Past the Point of Rescue - Mary Black

I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue?

And is no word from you at all the best that you can do?

(Chapter 19)

15 - [Skyfire] Fallen - Sarah McLachlan

But it's one missed step

One slip before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed...

(Chapter 19)

16 - [TF:TM] Moonlight Shadow (Remix) - E-Rotic

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night

Far away on the other side

He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

And she couldn't find how to push through

(Chapters 20-21)

17 - [Skyfire] Home - Daughtry

I'm going home, to the place where I belong

And your love has always been enough for me

(Chapter 22)

18 - [Silverbolt] Harbor -Vienna Teng

Sail your sea, meet your storm

All I want is to be your harbor

The light in me will guide you home

All I want is to be your harbor

(Chapter 23)

19 - [Epilogue] Annie's Song - John Denver

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest

Like the mountains in spring time, like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses - come fill me again

(Chapter 23 - Epilogue)


BONUS AU TRACKS - Fire and Ice

20 - [Silverbolt/Skyfire] Dance with the Devil - Breaking Benjamin

I believe in you

I will show you that I can see right through

All your empty lies...

21 - [Skyfire/Silverbolt] No Light, No Light - Florence and the Machine

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew that life could be so violent

No revelation in the light of day

You can't choose what stays and what fades away

Fire and Ice is an AU story I started but sadly never finished (mostly because it would have easily been as long again as A Wing and a Prayer, itself novel-length). The premise is that Starscream was the one to crash on Earth and be trapped in ice, while Skyfire returns to Cybertron and… makes some questionable choices. The first part of the story focuses on Skyfire and Starscream and how horribly bad for both of them their relationship is, even more so now Skyfire has several million years of Being Really Messed Up behind him. But Starscream becomes increasingly obsessed with Megatron, rising like a meteor through the ranks to become the new Air Commander. And then the Aerialbots track the Decepticons to Earth, determined to prove themselves to Optimus Prime - only for Silverbolt to find himself fascinated by - and drawn to - the dim but persistent spark of something worth saving in Skyfire…
