Fanmix: The Hunter and the Game - Sam/Heather

[likely_evil]

Sam wasn't expecting anything more than to learn from Murphy and her pack how to control his werewolf side so that Dean wouldn't be forced to hunt his brother when he turned rogue. What Sam wasn't expecting to find friendship, understanding, and love. Heather's green eyes captured him the moment he arrived and he knew that he was only going to be there a year and didn't want to her getting hurt. But as always, love has a way of changing plans...



The Hunter and the Game: A Sam & Heather Fanmix


1. Waiting for a Girl Like You – Rock of Ages Version

DREW;
I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
With a love that will survive

SHERRIE:
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive

DREW/ SHERRIE:
Yeah, waiting for a girl (boy) like you
To come into my life

SHERRIE:
Drew, I'm actually kinda nervous

DREW:
Don't worry, it's cool. I mean, look, we're just a couple friends, right? Lookin' at stars, drinking wine coolers. No pressure.

LONNY:
WHAT!? Oh man, he's gonna kick himself later for that 'friend' crap. The curse of the nice guy. See, you think it's the smart play, ease 'em in with friendship, but the fact is what they really want? What's really going on in that head?

SHERRIE:
You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way

I love this song choice because Drew is so clueless that Sherrie wants to ravage him like an animal in the back of the car, and he's trying to be the nice guy. Like Sam, who has no clue that Heather has had her eye on him since the moment he walked into the cabin.

2. Can’t Fight the Moonlight – LeeAnn Rimes

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

This is totally Heather's seduction song in trying to get Sam. And I'm sure if she could do it standing on a bar splashing pitchers of water on her body... she just might.

3. On Bended Knee – Boys II Men

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

This is a Sam song. He royally screwed up on Valentine's Day with Heather, and this is his apology song and begging for a second chance.

4. She Keeps her Love Away – Alice Ripley

She doesn't like to show you her tears
She doesn't want anything to get in the way
Somebody hurt her a long time ago
She sealed up her heart and that's how it will stay

She keeps her love away
She's got better things to do
Than to share it with you...
She keeps her love away...
She keeps love away...

When Heather told Sam that she wasn't sure she could be able to love him after what the last person who said loved her did, this song came to my mind. It's Heather's song for me, and Sam plans to slowly work her out of her shell and get her to see she can love again.

5. The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game – Massive Attack w/ Tracey Thorn

Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly i been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbit
Had to get you and so i knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooooooh, you were the catch that i was after
I looked up and i was in your arms and i knew that i was captured

What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

When I think of this pairing, this is the first song that comes to mind. It's a play on words since in reality, Sam's the hunter and Heather would be the game, but in their relationship Heather was the hunter and Sam was the game. It's very fitting.

6. First Cut is the Deepest - Sheryl Crowe

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

This is a Heather song, her willingness to start opening up more to Sam emotionally in the dreaded "love" word, and warning him that she'll try, but not making promises.

7. Pinata Novia - Steve Carlson

I'm sure that time's gonna take it's toll
and I know that my tattooed heart
may make you lose control
but grab a hold of something
preferably my heart
oh and promise you won't let it go
and swear you'll never part away from me

I don't know why
I'm always tryin' to get inside of you
Pinata Novia
I'm sorry I'm breaking you open
but it's just what you want me to do
it's exactly what I'm gonna do

This is another Sam song, promising to take care of Heather if she just opens up and lets him into her heart. It's a beautiful little love song for them.

8. Can you Feel the Love Tonight - Lion King Broadway Cast

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

[Simba:] So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me

[Nala:] He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?

This song reminds me of them because Sam holds back a lot of things because he doesn't want anyone in the pack to know he's a hunter, and as the months go on and he gets closer to Heather, it's harder to keep lying to her like that. And it's that hunter mindset that also keeps him from fully accepting the wolf life. Also Dean and Alec are Timon and Pumba for this instance. They can pick who's who amongst themselves XD

9. Here with Me - Dido

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

As Sam leaves to spend time with Dean, he knows he leaves behind a woman who wants him to stay. She lets him go because she knows he needs time with his brother, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt her those nights where she's left alone in bed waiting for him to return. This song reminds me of that.

10. When I’m Gone – 3 Doors Down

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

This is their "last few nights" song. Hold onto each other those few days before Sam leaves for months at a time, and how much they need each other to hold onto each other when they are together, and to love and miss each other when they are apart.
