"Over the Tree Tops,Above the Mountains--A Mix," by modillian

I've got to say, I have way better luck with this enhanced content than I deserve--every year, I send in some crappy, half-formed rough draft that doesn't really say what I want it to say, and every year, I get absolutely fantastic fanmixes and, the last couple of years, art, that make me look at the story and my characters in a whole different way.

Well, this year was no exception!

I knew from the second I downloaded the zip file and looked at the track listing that I was going to love it, based solely on the few songs I knew and the titles of the rest of them. And I did, I totally did. Everything I wanted to get across in this story--Kitty coming into her own, all the fantastic people she meets along the way, the weirdness when things you thought were fairy tales become your life--you can find it all in this mix, and a lot more. I'm so phenomenally grateful to modillian and I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a listen by downloading it here and giving modillian a round of applause.

Yay, I'm so glad you like it! I definitely aimed for songs consistent with the themes and the mood of your story, so I'm happy to have achieved it. I'm looking forward to reading all the new things you've added!

I hope you see this modillian: I've had this mix on repeat all day while I listen to the fic and bop around my house. I'm definitely putting it intact on my iPod, because I've never heard a single one of the songs but it is probably the best fic mix I have ever heard. I especially loved all the female vocalists, and the songs that added an ethereal feel for the fantasy sections of the fic.
