My translyrics for Salamander, written out under the cut :D
This one was much more difficult than the last, but I'm still very satisfied with it! 😤 I'm both sad that my version lost a lot of the fun soundplay of the original, and also waaay more impressed with the lyrics and vocals after digging it like this! I tried to keep it balanced between the original and Fuuta's version, though maybe it ended up leaning more toward the cover, idk. Leaving my specific notes in the tags 👍
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I want a taste, but all this spice may prove more than I can take, (eh?)
Something's on your mind. So spit it out and tell me, don't waste my time, kay?
I'm hooked on this, pass me a dish.
The way I'm starving here without you -- it's a crime
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want a bite, I can't help giving in to this new appetite.
Again, again, I want to be on fire when I get to the end.
We live too fast, we burn to ash,
I never handled spices well and it's a crime.
A spicy treat, put on repeat,
Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!
I want to burn bright red
I want to burn bright red
Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?
"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.
Tell me I'm not alone in my mind!
Salamander~ Look what's happened to me. This pa- passion's crazy
Tell me I'm not delirious, I'm being serious.
It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.
I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.
I want to leave I want to go, but I can never stop, oh no --
Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

reddie hc inspired by the hallmark movie, undercover holiday!
“What do you mean you need to accompany me?”
Eddie took a long, deep breath- the kind that always let Richie know that Eds’ patience was running thin. “Look, since you refuse to take these death threats seriously and cancel your cross-country trip, management is meeting you in the middle and sending me with you. It’s for your own safety, Richie.”
“Oh yeah, because I bet I’m going to meet real danger back home in fucking Derry.” Richie flopped back down in his chair, letting out a frustrated groan. “Great,” he muttered. “First I get treated like a child by having you fucking babysit me, and now I’ve got to somehow find a way to explain to my parents that the strange man I’ve brought home with me is to protect me from fucking death threats. Yeah, that should go over well at the dinner table.”
“Actually, you can’t disclose the threats to anyone,” Eddie told him. “Management is trying to keep things under control- telling others, even your parents, could spark a leak to the media. You’re under strict orders to keep it a secret and pretend like everything’s fine.”
Richie’s tolerance for this was starting to reach its max. “Wait a minute, so first you’re telling me that you need to accompany me to my family’s Christmas, and now you’re saying that I’m not even allowed to tell my own parents the reason why?”
Eddie shrugged. “That’s the policy.”
Richie ran a hand over his face. He was tired- the past few weeks had just been bad news after bad news, and the one thing he was actually looking forward to- Christmas back home with his parents- was also making a turn for the worse. “Great,” he mumbled. “Just great. And so what the hell am I supposed to tell my family when they ask who you are, huh, genius? Did management think of that yet?”
Eddie faltered on his words, and when he couldn’t come up with something, averted his eyes from Richie’s. Richie almost laughed- great job on that one, management!
Richie was just starting to accept that maybe he should cancel his trip back home after all, when an idea popped into his head. It was an insane idea, one that Eddie, his no-bullshit bodyguard who’d had a stick up his ass since Richie had first met, would never agree to, but… it was worth a shot.
“Alright, fine,” he said, getting up from the chair. “This is what we’ll do.” Eddie looked back up to him, his eyebrows raised in curiosity as he awaited Richie’s suggestions. “You can pretend to be my boyfriend.”
Eddie’s response was immediate. “Absolutely not.”
“Come on!” Richie whined. “It’s the only thing my parents will believe! Besides, my mom is always on my ass, year after year about being single, so doing this will be like killing two birds with one stone. You can do your job and keep me safe, and I get my mom to stop setting me up on blind dates whenever I go back home. It’s a win-win.”
Richie watched as Eddie thought it over. He knew it was a long shot, that the most likely outcome would be Eddie shutting him down with a firm No, that Richie would have to desperately try to find another explanation within the 48 hours he had left before his flight home to Derry.
Which is why it came as a rather big surprise, when Eddie met his eyes after a long time of thinking, and simply said, “Okay.”
