I loved it! And Akira and Ingall were very well written!

Very glad about that! Now enjoy a very sad song lyric thing.

-

Song: listen before i go by Billie Eilish.

(With some slight adjustments to the lyrics to avoid as much repeating and make it more accurate to characters in certain places)

Characters: Garvin. Rest of polycule, Briar, Aries, Devery, and Andi are all mentioned to some degree.

Context:

Yeah, uhm… Decided to do this for all of the AFCS AUs where Garvin, you know, dies. You know, Fraying (Pg 697), Voicemail (Pg 671), and Too Little Too Late (Pg 585). Admittedly, mostly Voicemail.

*~*~*~*

*Starting with Voicemail!*

Garvin, just kinda referencing that he was leaving everyone the voicemails from a rooftop; “Take me to the rooftop, I wanna see the world when I stop breathing… Turning blue…”

Garvin, kinda just imagining what the polycule would say if they picked up and then also just his own feelings on the matter; “Tell me love is endless… Don’t be so pretentious… Leave me, like you do…”

*And now to Too Little Too Late/The Weight Of Worlds!*

Garvin, very much doubting anyone’s gonna come for him but using a mix of envy and joking to act like he doesn’t care and/or that he does think someone’s coming, if only for Briar’s sake; “If you need me, wanna see me…”

Garvin, literally just referring to how he definitely doesn’t stick around in the basement very long after he dies; “Better hurry ‘cause I’m leaving soon…”

*And now for the chorus, we’re looking at all of them!*

Garvin, Fraying, referring to how this one started with him just being upset at himself for the argument with Revan and therefore feeling like he can’t just apologize and move on because that’s never how that works with him; “Sorry, can’t save me now.”

Garvin, Voicemail, referring to his apologies throughout the voicemails about not knowing what to say/how to go about the voicemails and whatnot; “Sorry, I don’t know how…”

Garvin, Too Little Too Late, referring to how he really doesn’t think anyone’s coming for him, even so, he’s moreso apologizing to Briar; “Sorry, there’s no way out… But down.”

*And now to Fraying!*

Garvin, just in reference to his crying in Sewing/Fraying; “Taste me, the salty tears on my cheek…”

Garvin, just in reference to the argument in ‘It’s Sow!’ that he had with Revan, admittedly kinda moreso calling himself a headache rather than calling Revan a headache, given his self-hatred; “That’s what a year long headache does to you…”

Garvin, just some reference to the symptoms of blood loss in Sewing/Fraying; “I’m not okay, I feel so scattered…”

*Back to Too Little Too Late!*

Garvin, referring to how he definitely doesn’t think he’ll be getting out and how Briar was not getting behind that idea at all; “Don’t say I’m all that matters… Leave me…”

Garvin, just referring to the fact that this is the second time he’s been in Andi’s basement; “Deja vu…”

*And now right back to Fraying!*

Garvin, literally just referring to him fucking dying and the time constraints between Sewing and Fraying; “If you need me, wanna see me… Better hurry ‘cause I’m leaving soon…”

*And now we’re back to the chorus!*

Garvin, Fraying, again just referring to how he doesn’t think he can fix the argument he had with Revan this time around; “Sorry, can’t save me now.”

Garvin, Voicemai, again just referring to him not knowing how to go about the voicemails and/or continuing, uh, life; “Sorry, I don’t know how…”

Garvin, Too Little Too Late, mostly to Briar honestly, referring to how unlikely it is for him to get out and how they might not even get out either; “Sorry, there’s no way out…”

Garvin, Too Little Too Late, moreso to himself and about how there is no way for him to get out except probably death; “But down…”

*And now we’re back to Voicemail for the outro!*

Garvin, literally just referring to him calling and leaving voicemails; “Call my friends and tell them that I love them… And I’ll miss them…”

Garvin, oops he’s still got that little issue that was gone over in ‘Let’s Discuss’ haha; “But I’m not sorry.”

Garvin, again he literally calls and leaves voicemails to tell everyone he loves them and he’ll miss them and just all of that stuff; “Call my friends and tell them that I love them… And I’ll miss them…”

Garvin, he still gonna apologize, even if he doesn’t really care because, well, everyone else deserves that much at least; “Sorry…”

I love the song! It's so very sad, poor Garvin, but I love it! Lmao

Glad you liked the song lyric thing! Very poor Garvin, he just constantly getting the short end of the sticks lmao
