ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING
PLAYLIST

╚══════════════════╝

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

If you're a new reader, this message might not resonate with you. But for the rest of you who have been following me and this series, you'll know that Riley is a character I hold very close to my heart. She's my favorite character I've ever created, and I'm always thinking of her, especially when I watch Marvel movies/shows.

This playlist was created to stretch over the three stories in this series. All of these songs reflect Riley in different ways at various points in her life, whether it's with others, herself, or the various situations she finds herself in. There isn't a specific listening order, but I did try to organize these in a way that's easy to follow if you're listening with Riley's character/story in mind! Thank you all for the endless love and support you've given this series and me. It means the absolute world.

With that, I present to you 50 songs that remind me of Riley the most. Enjoy!

RILEY'S PLAYLIST FOR
SAVING THE WORLD

(This playlist was NOT
influenced by Tony
Stark at all. Not one bit.)

"Don't wanna live as an untold story.
Rather go out in a blaze of glory.
I can't hear you, I don't fear you."

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality."

03. Highway to Hell, AC/DC

"Sorry hoes hate me 'cause I'm the "it" girl.
I ain't never asked to be the shit, girl!"

So everybody, just follow me. 'Cause
we need a little controversy, 'Cause it

"I'm holding out for a hero till
the end of the night."

10. Uptown Girl, Billy Joel

Pull my chair right up there next

"You will always be my
favorite form of love."

I wake up in the night and watch
you breathe."

"You are the sunlight that rose
again in my life. A reincarnation

You were made for loving me."

To the sound of the beat;
Another one bites the dust."

"Nobody move, there's blood on
the floor. And I can't find my heart."

23. Brutal, Olivia Rodrigo
"And I'm so caught up in the news
of who likes me and who hates you.
And I'm so tired that I might quit my
job, start a new life. And they'd all be

if not exploited?"

24. Problems, Mother Mother

Was I meant to feel happy that my
life was just about to change?"

midnight streets. And I've never
felt more alone. It feels so
scary getting old."

"I've been praying ever since
New York."

40. Nothing New, Taylor Swift
"I know someday I'm gonna meet
her it's a fever dream. The kind of

say she got the map from me. I'll say
I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself
to sleep."

your sisters and brothers. Leave all your
love and your longing behind. You can't
carry it with you if you want to survive."

47. Somebody to Love, Queen
"I work hard every day of my life. I
work 'til I ache in my bones. At
the end of the day, I take home my
hard-earned pay all on my own. I
get down on my knees, and I start
to pray 'til the tears run down from
my eyes. Lord, somebody, oh, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

frozen, slowly thawing."

time under the canyon moon."

"This road may be long and rough,
but will you stay with me? We may
fall and sometimes get hurt, but
will you stay with me?"

This playlist isn't on Apple Music or Spotify at the moment because I am DEATHLY afraid of someone I know in real life figuring out I'm on this hellsite, but if there are enough requests to add it to any specific streaming platforms, I'll see what I can do!

(It would be kind of hilarious if I found out someone I know in real life is reading my fics though right.)

PS I LOVE RILEY <3
