Flash Back

# 4 on Adam's list of his top 13 moments.  Like Dying Things Do is a duet between Flynn and Elanie performed roughly a year into their stay at the shelter.

Like Dying Things Do

Unrequited love is hard, even for an idol.

"Wouldn't it be nice," her expression seems to say, "if it could have ended up in any other way?"

Wouldn't It Be Nice

One of the numbers on Adam’s list of his top 13 moments.  
In Robin to My Batman, Rose steels himself to be more than he is for the sake of those he protects.

Robin To My Batman

Flynn awakes, broken and bruised in bed after narrowly surviving an attack at the Drive Through.  He is shaken, torn away from his illusions of safety, and as he remembers his ordeal, he comes to a startling conclusion.

A Fall At The Loading Bay

Ellanie does not like making promises, but maybe she can make an exception for Adam.

Twopenny Words

In the wake of the end of the world, it takes work to survive, and that work falls on Adam's shoulders.

How Can I Say No

"There's a peace to things
That a moment brings.  
And I thought
At least we matter for a while."

It Lingers, It Lasts

Flynn and Ellanie discuss where they would have been when everything fell apart had it not been for the quirk of fate that left them at Royal Pointe. 

For The Long Haul

As is usually the case, this is the result of our taking a joke a little too far.  Ever since the Game Grumps made an off-hand comment about a Grumps musical in their playthrough of Mario64, we've joked that we should be the ones to make it.  Flash forward to now and you get a ridiculous, lighthearted musical theater style homage to our favorite let's players.

We have wanted to write a musical tribute to Critical Role for quite some time.  "willing" is based on the 44th episode, The Sunken Tomb, which was, without a doubt, one of the most powerful and plot-rocking moments in the whole show.

‘Hell and Back’ is based on Critical Role's episode 72, ‘The Elephant in the Room.'  This episode features a pivotal moment for Vex'ahlia, as she reflects on her struggles with self worth, her resolution towards forgiveness, and the recent loss and resurrection of Percy.

Lyrics by Gina Smith 

From the moment we both finished listening to the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone, we knew we had to make something to shine a light on one of the most dynamic, well realized characters we've encountered. "Redacted" sees Lucretia, Madame Director of the Bureau of Balance, seconds before she makes the choice that would set the events of The Adventure Zone in motion. 

Lyrics: 
The words that I once loved 
Now drip with unease 
As I step back and at once 
See the forest for the trees 

It won’t matter our intentions 
Our hopes or our plans 
What matters is the end result 
This book in my hands 

No one will know how well we meant 
How much we sacrificed 
Cause this story’s how we broke the world 
And couldn’t pay the price 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Then make it back to you 

I’ve the power to change things 
And I know I have to try 
And I called it. I knew it. 
Now I’ve got to pin down why 

Put aside your pride, Lucretia 
Time you stopped pretending 
A story isn’t good 
If we all hate the ending 

I’ve learned that faith is lovely 
But never goes as planned 
If you want something done 
Take it into your own hand 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you 

They’ll be safe and they’ll be happy 
When the past is redacted 
Same people and same world 
Just with some bits subtracted 

Give them beaches and sun 
And tastes of their favorite things 
Give them the world 
And a chance to sample the flavor it brings 
Give them crafts and keeps and love 
And a chance to reset 
All the pain of the past 
The stories and songs 
And the choices we’d rather forget 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see this story 
Through the future’s eyes 
An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you
