Summary: “Welcome to the Department of Transportation! Shall we get right to it, then?”
“Yes, ma’am. Only, they said something about archiving confidential case files?”

Miss Vanes gave them a peculiar little smile. “We don’t, generally. But we do have archives. And most of them concern the Department of Weird...”

To the tune of

This is Goodbye, Gritty (Men's Hockey RPF)
written and performed by dreaminghour
Summary: My tragic love song, how I fell in love and was betrayed by the Philadelphia Flyers National Hockey League mascot. This is the story of how he turned his fuzzy orange back on me, closed his big googly eyes, and all seven feet of him walked out my door, leaving me with nothing but a broken heart.
How did it come to this you ask? Listen well…

You Orange Dope (Men's Hockey RPF, Real Person Fiction, Sports RPF)

Boldly (Star Trek, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies), Original Work)
written by FanderFanficcer, performed by FanderFanficcer
Summary: A (somewhat) fannish song using waaay too many space metaphors! Teeechnically not specific to Star Trek, out of all space- and sci-fi-related media, but more than a little inspired by its storyline and its musical themes.
...Basically, if Star Trek were a cheesy stage musical, and it had some sort of opening number or recurring theme? This filk would be it. Features original lyrics, vocals, and a fairly bright, semi-orchestral, semi-electronic original instrumental to accompany it all!

(Speed) Run (Minecraft (Video Game), Video Blogging RPF)
written and performed by Elle_dubs
Summary: George loves hunting Dream but there's something else he's been thinking about.

[filk] We All Vent Forever (Among Us (Video Game))
written and performed by carboncopies
Summary: A song parody inspired by "We All Lift Together" from Warframe.
Everyone on the Skeld knows they're caught in a time loop. Crewmate or impostor, all of them are damned to complete their tasks over and over until they win or die, and then the cycle begins again.
