    Summary

    “And so it goes, and so it goes. Y’know, I’ve heard it a million times before. I don’t ever think Joel will get over it.”
    - David Brown

    “I worry for him.”
    - Mark Rivera

    What do you think when you hear Storm Front by Billy Joel? Maybe ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’? Maybe ‘And So It Goes’? But for some Billy Joel fans, we think about, perhaps, the stories behind them. Maybe you’re like me and you think about the drama surrounding the album, which was a lot. This is basically telling the story, but kind of adding fun things in there, changing very few details that can still get the story across. Think of it like a self insert, but it’s a band. So think about maybe something like a McLennon fic?? I don’t even know what this is I just started writing, so enjoy lmao :p

    Summary

    A version of the often parodied song "We Didn't Start The Fire" about the website called TV Tropes.

    Based, specifically, on the subtitles of the music video on Billy Joel's official YouTube channel.

    Note to tag wranglers: TV Tropes is not a character in this work, it should not go under the "TV Tropes (anthropomorphic)" tag. This is about TV Tropes in the same way other versions of the song are about, say, the Mario franchise or a superhero universe. Or real-life history.

    Summary

    While listening to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” I realized that given the wild amount of things that happen in the ACOTAR books, they would be the perfect subject for a song like that.

    I did my best

    (Spoilers for all the books)

    Summary

    An updated version of "We Didn't Start the Fire", current as of 2022 when I am writing this. Covers from 1989 (where the original song left off) to the end of 2022. The original song came out in September 1989; everything mentioned in this new version is after that and goes in chronological order. Notes at the bottom of this fic explain what the updated lyrics refer to. This new version has the same number of verses and of choruses, and the same outro, chorus, and rhyme scheme, as the original. Here is a link to the lyrics of the original version: https://web.archive.org/web/20230126160732/https://genius.com/Billy-joel-we-didnt-start-the-fire-lyrics (or https://genius.com/Billy-joel-we-didnt-start-the-fire-lyrics if that doesn't work).
