rexluscus points to this awesome Face of Boe story from
concertigrossi. You'll be reading along going "this is good," but not feeling like it's necessarily a significant work, and then, if you're like me, you'll get to the end and totally freak out and have to go cry in the bathroom at work.
It's awesomecakes.

I've been going around with a big, goofy grin on my face for the last two days. And when I saw your post there about the music, I had to e-mail a link to a friend, asking, "Is she talking about MY fic?" :)
As for what kind of music.. when I was writing it, I had been thinking of something along the lines of a Gregorian plainsong, something that would echo in a sacred space... definitely trending towards the otherworldly and weird. :) (Do you mean like in "Devorzhum?" Because I LOVE that song...)
I expect it started out as something like a gentle lullaby when he first conceived of it, but morphed, especially once he started teaching it to other people... so really, either interpretation will work, so, and I mean this sincerely, go with whatever your inspiration tells you will work best. :)
