Description:

I find it hard to believe that the Mechanisms, space pirates and musicians extraordinaire, would go out without a few slightly morbid but ultimately loving songs. So I wrote them!
Some of these are fics with lyrics to a song in them, others are just the lyrics. All have links to Tumblr included, 'cause that's where I posted the audios I made. Some of the songs are completely original, some are modifications of pre-existing songs and shanties. (ex. Tim's song is completely original but Ivy's is similar to the Longest Johns 'Retirement Song')
These also follow my personal headcanons for the orders in which everyone died, which mostly follows DTTM, but honestly DTTM left room for interpretation and also these guys don't do linear time well. So when this series is done it's gonna look like:
Nastya
Jonny
Ashes
Ivy
Tim
Raphaella
Marius
Brian
The Toy Soldier
Honestly, for someone who kinda hates that the Mechanisms die in canon, it's kinda funny that I'm doing this series but like....they spent their immortal lives singing and you're telling me they didn't go out with music? BULLSHIT.
Important Note: Carmilla does not have a song because she is not dead.
