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!

Elle_dubs

[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.
The Weight of Demonic Cultivation [Filk] (魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù, 魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī (Cartoon))
