I’ve posted and re-posted a Polaris soundtrack I put together previously. This time, I feel like pulling out the portions of it that involve other characters.
Lorna
was in an emotionally vulnerable state. The wedding was a bright spot
after so much bad… then Havok took it away from her at the worst
possible moment. This being Lorna’s response to being screwed with after
all she’s been through.
Polaris vs X-Men, Magneto and Xavier:Joan of Arc by In This Moment (lyrics)
Took
this from another fan here on Tumblr (name I forget) who suggested this
for Gifted version Lorna. In this case, I think it would be an
excellent song for Lorna in a theoretical event where she’s like Jean
during Phoenix Saga or Scarlet Witch during House of M. Magneto, Xavier,
the X-Men in general have a history of taking her for granted and not
caring about what happens to her for various reasons (especially in the
Claremont era). Here’s Lorna questioning their “morality” and how easy
they seem to find disregarding her feelings and experiences while
exploiting her for their own interests.
Hello! Okay. In March this year, I created a Polaris fan soundtrack. Now that it’s been 8 months and we have more people looking her up, I’ve decided to repost it with some changes. Some songs removed. Some songs added. Longer descriptions of why I picked the song in some places.
Identity (Teen Lorna):Human by Ellie Goulding (lyrics)
This is a personal fan imagining to fill in an important gap Marvel won’t fill: what Lorna’s life was like in her teens, and how she saw herself while not having the full picture of who she is.
Fan reimagining, from Lorna simply being a vessel for Malice, to Malice taking the darker parts of Lorna, corrupting them and dragging them out into public where she doesn’t want them seen; Malice being weaker than Lorna since it’s not a genuine tap into her powers.
This is a big one for me. I can picture every stanza and its relation. Lorna in the ruins in disbelief at how suddenly lives were ended. Lorna re-experiencing the millions of dead Genoshans’ last moments over and over with her powers. Lorna blaming herself and her father Magneto for ever being “stupid” enough to think Genosha was a good idea. Her difficulties in any kind of therapy with Xavier, how tough it is to believe a single thing they say to try to help her.

Lorna as she dives full on into the darkest parts of herself and being more like her father’s daughter. Elements of both Lorna’s grief at having survived Genosha while millions died, and Lorna pissed about being left at the altar.
Lorna leading X-Factor at Serval. Note: this is more like a focus on the good moments and her potential if the series had managed to hone in on them fully.
Warrior (Quicksilver):Warrior by Charlotte Martin (lyrics)
Pietro’s view of Lorna, inspired entirely by All-New X-Factor #13.
Lost Brother (Quicksilver):Unbroken by Missy Higgins (lyrics)
Technically more of a Quicksilver song, from Lorna’s POV.
BONUS!
Songs for ideal possible future directions, or just generally Lorna. They’re often things that I think fit perfectly for her but don’t really have a direct correlation to events in her character history. Or, things that could happen but may or may not. Treat them like fanfic, in other words.
This song is lifted from a Polaris soundtrack by @plavapticica. Just as suggested by her, I think it’s an excellent representation of Lorna working with her history of mind control, possession and being messed with in general. My view is that it does all that and Lorna rolls it into being more determined and vicious.

Lately I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn I’ve been thinking it’s just someone else’s job to care cause who am I to wanna try
Hello! Last year, I started this notion of a fan soundtrack for Polaris and then… didn’t finish it.
But I finally did! You can blame @plavapticica for giving me that final push because of her fanmix. ❤ It took a hell of a lot longer than it should have.
My conception of this is sort of a “life story” soundtrack. Some of it is based on actual comic events. Some of it is safe assumptions of what’s in the gaps. Some of it is my personal fan imaginings. And all are personal interpretation of what best fits.

Setting: Polaris living the “civilian” life with Havok after leaving the X-Men. My POV for this pick is… not a nice one. But I’ll refrain from long spiels.

Lorna’s underlying thoughts after she learns Pietro is spying on her for Havok.
Ode to a Thief (Gambit):Oliver by Gemma Hayes (lyrics)
I don’t know, man. I don’t know. This just felt right. Bonus due to name. Could be her feelings at losing the chance to get closer to Gambit due to ANXF getting cut short.

Idea: Lorna and Havok in an actual fight with each other for being on opposite sides of a situation. I couldn’t find the full song in good quality anywhere online, nor the lyrics.
And there it is! I might add more over the next couple days (there are some spots I couldn’t think of good songs for, e.g. time on Genosha pre-massacre, House of M), but this is fairly comprehensive.
