I don't remember now why I didn't sign up for jukebox_fest - I think I probably forgot about either nominations or signups, though considering what my past few months have been it's probably for the best - but I did manage to slide in one treat, after asking for recs for requests with dark f/f potential (look. I have a niche.)

kiss them all goodnight. bellyache - billie eilish (song), narrator/her lover. 1k words, rated t. for sapphire2309.

TRANSCRIPTION OF THE TESTIMONY OF E. K[]
24.2.2017
STATE OF CALIFORNIA V. E.K[]
LAC BA342574 - 01

The narrator of the song is a girl who killed her friends after they robbed a bank together, and sorta-maybe feels sorry about it but also sorta-maybe doesn't care, beyond, perhaps, a vague curiosity about what she's just done. I got to have some fun with the formatting here, writing the fic as a transcript of the narrator's deposition as part of the post-canon criminal case she's at the centre of serving as a way to flip between the depths of her head and the outside world, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

And some recs:
