On a Stevie Nicks kick lately, combined with nostalgia... I'd like some baby!Bassez or Trickyfish (Euro-era or earlier) with uncertain/insecure/awkward Lance; based on some or all of the lyrics to 'Edge of Seventeen'. The lyrics are behind the cut, with some parts bolded that might apply. Use the lyrics any way you want, just as inspiration, actual songfic, whatever.


(chorus)
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings her song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings her song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh

And the days go by
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friends, baby
(Everything stopped)
Nothing else matters

He was no more than a baby then
Well he seemed broken-hearted
Something within him
From the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone, on the edge of seventeen


(chorus)

Well I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow
Well, the music there, it was hauntingly familiar
When I see you doing what I tried to do for me
With the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir, and a melody
Nothing else mattered


(chorus)

The clouds never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes color
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow
Graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age-old
Desire to please
On the edge of seventeen


(chorus)

Well then suddenly, there was no one
Left standing in the halls
With a flood of tears that
No one really ever heard fall at all

Well I went searching for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a night bird, singing come away
(Come away, come away)

(chorus)

Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you at nightfall
And sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I'm a few years older than you, my love


(chorus)

On the Edge of Seventeen

My attempt at your request is at the URL below. Had to link to the page because it's too long to fit in a comment. Apparently, I need to look up the definition of a ficlet. :-)

Hope you enjoy. Forgive the grammar...past participles are my nemesis.
