The December Bride
Here's how this works: This is a writer's exercise. The songs of The Decemberists imply a strange, sadly wonderful world. These stories reference every song released on an album by The Decemberists, and a few others. Some songs are given a great deal of attention, others receive only glancing blows. Some songs are referenced with great fidelity, others are just alluded to. Every major character in these tales is drawn, to some extent, from these songs. There is no other formula.
As songs make it into the story, they're listed here.

A Cautionary Song

I really enjoyed reading this. Some of your metaphors are beautifully worded, beautifully thought out. I'll be back.
I liked it a lot. Certain parts I'd like more if I wasn't already familiar with The Decemberists. Just some constructive criticism, but I noticed sometimes when you'd try to fit in a thing from the songs..it sometimes sounds forced in. I don't remember exactly what but maybe the way you introduced beacon street, or the orphan boy, and a few other things. It could just be my oppinion. I thought you did this wonderfully though. Very well done. :):):)
