Fanmix: Six/Castiel - Even The Mighty Shall Fall

[rogueslayer452]

"When God's anger awakens, even the mighty shall fall..."
~ Sharon "Athena" Agathon, BSG

They thought they knew their mission, knew where they stood; even when questioning orders they thought Heaven had been honorable to their own kin. Unfortunately, things got turned around for the worst as horrible truths were revealed, leaving much dishonesty, distrust and betrayal. Now, two angels from Heaven are struggling with their own faith as trying to stand tall as they watch their beloved home crumble before their eyes, silently praying for the Lord's guidance, if He ever answers them...




Notes: With this mix, being my second Six/Castiel creation, I wanted to take it into a completely different direction, something thematic and melancholic in terms of the mood with the characters. They've both come to realize that their home is no longer their home anymore, that they've been deceived and betrayed by Heaven; everything they've done has been a facade to conceal the truth of their superior's own intentions concerning the endgame. The sense of loss, of pain and uncertainty, I wanted to bring that into this mix in signifying the lost hope and dwindling faith of these two characters. The last track represents that last spark of hope that, with each other and the help of their human companions, there may be that silver lining after all, even if it's bittersweet with a bit of vengeance on their end.

TRACKLISTING

01. "The Rapture" by X-Ray Dog

Instrumental.

02. "O Fortuna" by Opera Babes

Sors immanis, et inanis (Fate - monstrous, and empty)
rota tu volubilis (you whirling wheel)
status malus, vana salus (you are manevolent, well-being is vain)
semper dissolubilis (and always fades to nothing)
obumbrata, et velata (shadowed, and veiled)
michi quoque niteris (you plague me too)

03. "Massive Dose" by Sonic Librarian

If you could take a dream
And make it real
Who would you be? Who would you see?
---
I'm floating free now
Falling slowly
I can see you, from up here

04. "A Bittersweet Tragedy" by Beseech

I am blinded and fooled by fear
As puppets in a cold dark play
We are trapped inside a cage
Until this downward spiral ends

05. "En Vie" by Apocalyptica ft. Marta Jandova

[translated from French]

Why let the chance
When our dreams lost the memory?
Should you be as stupid?
That history repeats itself
Is it not sufficient to see?
A little less evil
Is it not sufficient to want?
And this world gone to war

06. "Virtue and Vice" by Delain

Heaven denied us its Kingdom
Tell me where we've gone wrong
Oh, fortitude, I do like you
But I only speak when spoken to
Heaven forgive, the mess I meant
Temperance, why do I cast
Your prudence to the wind?

07. "Minor Heaven" by Tarja Turunen

Light a way for me to walk on,
From the ashes to the sky
Burn the thorns so I can hold on
Trust in me I know I'm right
I'm know I'm gone too far
Leave them where they are

08. "Something Dark Is Coming" composed by Bear McCreary

Instrumental.

09. "In The Air Tonight" by Full Blown Rose

Well, I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

It is my deepest wish, from my heart of hearts, that Tricia Helfer is re-cast in the Show. As an angel. The Archangel Gabriel, to be specific. They could pull if off I am sure and it would be awesome for that character to be on the Show. I would just die if it happened, it would be a good death...

But I digress. This looks wonderful, will snag!

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Major word. That is my biggest wish, as well, since Tricia is extremely talented and just fierce enough to be an archangel. Why not recast her? It would be perfect and just awesome, plus her acting alongside Misha Collins? Mmm, yes please, screens will s'plode from the hotness. ;D But alas, we can only hope and wish through such fanon creations. If only our dreams could come true, eh?

But thank you for the comment! Enjoy the mix. :)

AWESOME IDEA.

Although more hilariously....James Callis as Gabriel?

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, that was be hilarious (if kinda awesome, in a way). I don't know which is funnier though...Gabriel!Gaius or Jesus!Gaius. XD

[jazmin22.livejournal.com]

YES IT IS. THANK YOU.

JamesCallis!Gabriel...giggling just thinking about it.

[katrinaswift.livejournal.com]

I can just imagine...


...the white light recedes back and the camera focuses on Gabriel. And there's James Callis with his hair. And maybe the angel!Baltar sunglasses. ALL THE COOL ANGELS HAVE THEM.

He might be smoking and maybe he'd get a sleazy smile on his face and try to hit on Anna...
