"Off To The Races"
"My old man is a bad man but I can't deny the way he holds my hand..." Just because they're evil, that doesn't mean they can't be in love, right? A slight reimagining of Emma and Shaw's relationship.
Song: "Off To The Races" by Lana Del Rey
Characters/Fandom: Emma/Shaw, X-Men: First Class
Spoilers: For the movie.
Length/size: 2:40 (31 MB WMV)

V/N: I have to admit, I love a good villain but, even more than that, I love it when a movie/show gives me a pair of villains who actually do love each other despite their bad-guy-ness. ;) I was a bit disappointed that Emma and Shaw didn't take that route but, when I picked up Lana Del Rey's CD the other day, this song really struck me as a chance to put my own spin on things and to hopefully equalize the power dynamic between the two of them in the process. ;)

If you watch, I hope you enjoy! ♥!
