A RIOT OF COLOR IN A WORLD OF GRAPHITE: songs referenced in traci chee's "we are not free"

"Those blazing trumpets. Those syrupy saxophones. They're a riot of color in a world of graphite, like everything for years has been dull, dull, dull, rendered in grays, and all of a sudden I'm remembering rainbows, sunsets, forests, reds." —Chapter XVI: Home

Harbor Lights - Bing Crosby (1950) "[Joe's] favorite song is 'Harbor Lights' by Frances Langford, and when he sings a few bars under his breath, I think I might die of happiness."

Chattanooga Choo Choo - Glenn Miller Orchestra (1941) "Aiko traipses ahead, belting out the words to 'Chattanooga Choo Choo.' Her voice is sweet and clear in the cold, and beside me, I can hear Tommy humming under his breath, smooth and dark as syrup."

Bésame Mucho - Jimmy Dorsey (1943) "The song on the radio changes. Jimmy Dorsey croons 'Bésame Mucho' from the speakers, and you wonder if, whenever you all hear it again, wherever you are, when Twitchy's in some little French hamlet or Shig pops open his suitcases in a dank Chicago hostel, you'll still be bound together."

Over the Rainbow - Judy Garland (1939) "Frisco, 1939: I was singing 'Over the Rainbow to get baby Fumi to sleep. I know it's stupid, but I wanted to believe if I kept singing, I'd fill her dreams with bluebirds, stars and lemon drops."

Pennies from Heaven & One O'Clock Jump - Count Basie (1937) "That night, Stan takes me out to see Count Basie at the Golden Gate... The band plays hits like 'Pennies from Heaven' and 'One O'Clock Jump,' and the crowd goes wild over every solo, every bright note, every swinging beat."

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea - Cab Calloway (1931) "As Stan and I turn toward Japantown, he starts singing, 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea,' swinging around streetlights like he's in a Hollywood musical, even though he's got a voice like a raven."

Prompt Generator Fic #8 (Repost)

Jeff + Moffie + Humour + storm

He stared. He knew it was rude, but he couldn’t help it.

A strange woman sat half-asleep at the breakfast counter, staring blankly out the window and paying him not the least bit of attention.

He cycled back through the vast stores of family history he’d had thrown in his direction in the past week and a half, searching desperately for an explanation for her sudden appearance.

His mind drew a blank.

She was surely too old for Gordon and Alan, John seemed as uninterested as ever, and try as he might, he couldn’t remember any mention of a girl attached to Virgil or Scott either. At least, not one that would turn up unannounced at their island home.

Still, he really ought to know her name if she was important enough to spend the night as she so clearly had.

He cleared his throat as he stepped up to the counter, plastering a warm smile across his features as he reached for the espresso.

“Oh, hello, Mr Tracy," she said, looking up at him with a yawn. “Early start, is it?”

She gestured outdoors at the rain lashing soundlessly against the windows.

“Storm’s keeping me here a while longer it seems.”

“Uh, yes,” said Jeff, his mind still spinning. “I suppose so.”

The desire for more context, for more information, burned inside of him but he shoved it down, not wanting to be rude to his unexpected guest.

“Did you have somewhere you needed to be?”

“Oh, nowhere urgent,” she said, waving her hand vaguely. “Switzerland can wait, they know I shifted to flexible hours following the gravity well.”

Jeff choked on his coffee. He’d been told a number of wild tales, and he remembered Gordon telling one on just that subject. He’d never really believed it had happened, and unless this woman was an excellent liar, he suddenly had a secondary source.

“Ah, when was that again?”

“Oh, two or three years ago now,” she said waving her hand. “Hiram and I have been working on practical applications of gravity disruptors for nigh on a year now.”

So, it was Brains who had invited her, thought Jeff, hiding his smile in his coffee mug. Good for him.

“I’d be happy to fly you home once the storm has lifted,” he offered but she waved her hand impatiently.

“I’ve got it,” she announced, leaping up and grabbing her tablet. “And, thank you, but no, Scott usually takes us out.”

“Well, if you’re sure,” he said.

He watched as she made to leave, fingers jabbing at variables on the screen and swerving around furniture like she’d done it a million times before, and before he could help himself, Jeff called out after her.

“What’s your name?”

She paused to look at him in complete astonishment.

“Professor Moffat. Hiram and I have kept up a consistent correspondence since your boys went public with the Thunderbird machines. Did he not tell you?”

Jeff shook his head.

Professor Moffat burst out laughing.

“So you found a strange woman in your kitchen and thought ‘no follow up questions needed’?”

“But you knew who I was,” he protested.

“Everyone knows who you are, Mr Tracy.”

She flashed him a grin.

“I thought Hiram had told you about me. Guess I’m not important enough after all, way to bruise my ego.”

Jeff chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

“I’ll be sure to interrogate him about all his friends in the future.”

“Excellent,” she said. “I’ll let him know for you. He’ll hate it, I’m sure.”

That he will, thought Jeff as Professor Moffat strode away. That he will.

Viktor and Elsa

A secret passion?

Viktor Vasko and Elsa Bastion (formerly Arbogast) clearly share a connection. This has been clear since the Defiance flashback

This perhaps shouldn't be that much of a surprise. They are both veterans of the Great War, they have both experienced and still bear the inner scars that come with the tragedy and brutality of war and the suffering it brings.

Elsa in her capacity as a nurse, who no doubt saw all manner of mangled and broken men, and Viktor the muddy, bloody, living hell that was the front line of the trenches. It only makes sense that such people would be able to understand each other in ways others wouldn't.

Elsa has no doubt spent plenty of time treating wounded soldiers and seen the emotional anguish, and so would be able to see through that sour intimidating facade that keeps most people at arms length. While Viktor could find reassurance in the company of a kind and compasionate woman like Elsa

But many fans have found themselves wondering if there could be more to it than that.

Viktor spent some time staying at the arbogast household, and it seems in that time Elsa got to know Viktor very well, learning more about his life than even Ivy, someone that can approach Viktor much easier than most as a stand in daughter to him, and even to the extent she knows Viktor would never have agreed to let her put herself in danger

Viktor for his part may also feel more than just friendly towards her, if the face he makes when she is finally able to get through to him by phone to inform him about Ivy putting herself in danger is anything to go by.

Having been in a pit of deep despair over the memory of his far away daughter, plus the poor state of his health with compromised knees and a hole in his chest, hearing from her seems to make that normally scowling face soften

But before we all jump on that bandwagon and "Viktor x Elsa" become our new Lackadaisy otp, we have to consider the jolly British elephant in the room.

Bobby Bastion

Bobby is another war veteran and it was though their service that they met just after the war and later married.

He appears to be a very jolly and affable chap (relative to most bootleggers anyway), which may well be what drew Elsa to him in the first place. Someone who could counter her melancholy from the dark times they went through

He seems to be very aware and considerate of his wife's relative melancholy, by Elsa's own admission leaving a very lucrative funeral trade in the big city to move too a small quiet community that offered little business but gave Elsa the peace and quiet she needed (like Viktor it seems she hates "noise, noise, noise" thanks to the war).

Their involvement in bootlegging in the first place it seems was to compensate for this and provide the income to sustain this relative isolation

But despite this, perhaps their diffent mindset has become more of a barrier between them rather than something that compliments each other?

As the family illustration suggests, Bobby is relatively content and able to smell the flowers, while Elsa remains haunted. Bobby's humour also seems to have little effect on Elas's mood

Could it be that Elsa would be drawn to someone like Viktor, someone who suffers from the same trauma as her and may be more willing to admit to the pain, than a husband who despite the best of intentions is trying to just smooth over the problem? Quite possible

But even with that strong connection and bond between them, even if there is a mutual spark, does that suggest an actual affair? That's the big question here.

While arguably not handling his wife's troubles in the best way, Bobby seems to be a loving husband doing his best for his wife who he cares for deeply. Is Elsa the type of person who would cheat on her kind husband for helping in the "wrong way"?

Plus Bobby not only shows no sign of concern about Viktor staying with them and being around his wife, but, (despite his brother in laws interuption) mentions that he was very grateful for Viktor's help and actually saw him as almost "part of the family"

Is this a case of "ignorance is bliss"? Does he simply blindly trust his wife so much that the possibility doesn't even occur to him, or does he know her well enough to be certain that infidelity is something she simply would not do?

But this is all speculation at this point. What do you think?

Is poor Bobby blind to what happened under his own roof? Is it a matter of two people feeling an attraction but tragically unable to act on it due to circumstances? Or is it just an innocent matter of two wounded souls with shells and screams still ringing in their ears recognizing the scars on each other and offering some understanding?

Thanks to @ursiday whose Viktor and Elsa art got my over analysing brain juices flowing again ;)

pulled over to give a homeless guy some cash on the side of the road today and he pointed to my bigfoot air freshener and asked if i believed in ‘that guy’ and no, i don’t, i have the air freshener because my last car before this one (the pt cruiser) belonged to a woman named tracy who loved bigfoot and had a whole collection of bigfoot stuff including the air freshener and she died of cancer which is why her husband was selling me her car and i figured, hey, might as well keep the air freshener in her honor. and then when i had to junk the last car i couldnt bring myself to get rid of it. so now it’s just hanging off my rear view mirror again. which is probably a worse reason to have an air freshener than believing in bigfoot.
