Ashes to Ashes (Ficmix)

I want to preface this Ficmix blog by saying this was made for one of the Writing Cup challenges, but I also really like the story. XD

Ashes to Ashes by cruciatus. follows the story of Carter. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't read it (if you haven't, you should), so I'll just give a brief overview. As the story goes on, Carter finds herself slowly slipping deeper and deeper into a black hole of drug addiction, and I suspect, depression. There are snippets of back story weaved throughout the story that gives the reader an insight into her state of mind. Very, very good! cruciatus. writes the story really well, with the perfect balance between back story, action, dialogue and introspection. A very good read!

Ashes to Ashes

You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor.

Arsonist's Lullabye - Hozier

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash


I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me) - Marilyn Manson

Norm life baby "I'm just a sample of a soul made to look just like a human being"

Brompton Cocktail - Avenged Sevenfold

Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised
And so dehumanized
I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends
I need that shot to enter my vein
My Brompton cocktail blend


The A Team - Ed Sheeran

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent


Skinny Love - Birdy

And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches,
And at the end of all your lines.


Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.

When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
