silly fic (and music) rec game

nnozomiI am feeling unwontedly euphoric because my head/neck doesn't hurt any more (for the moment, knock wood). (All the other personal-health and global-mess things that were wrong are still wrong, but what else is new?)
I have guardian-learning stuff to catch up on and other DW socializing to do and lots of lovely 520 fics to read (flamingwell made a podfic of one of my fics! this has never happened to me before and it's lovely!), not to mention, you know, files to translate for work and octopus to buy for dinner, but here's something silly for Sunday afternoon.
I've been rereading my huge virtual stack of favorite fics, the ones I have saved offline to read once a year. Last winter I finally got around to listing them properly (in Excel because God forbid I should use AO3 bookmarks like a normal person) and there are about 700, from drabbles to trilogy-length, in about 90 fandoms. So give me, say, three numbers between 1 and 704, and I will give you three fic recs! (For reference, I started putting them together when I discovered AO3, which was...um...2012? The oldest ones go back any time before that, and the newest are, like, last week. If you want anything cdrama-related you are better off choosing higher numbers.)
As a bonus, choose three numbers between 1 and 120 and I'll give you three music recs from my big YouTube playlist, although how much my taste aligns with everyone else's I cannot say.
Offer remains open!
Take good care, be well and safe everyone.

Date: 2022-05-22 02:14 pm (UTC)122: The Last Free Soul of Dalemark, by Firerose, DWJ Dalemark; you may well have read this already, but it's a fantastic look at Dalemark-as-history through multiple formats, unnerving and pitch-perfect.
377: Emergent Occasions, by our own linman, Rivers of London, a short fic which is all symbolism and subtext, playful and painful.
655: A Troublesome Charge, by Moonsheen, MDZS/CQL, the first in a series of fics with a central conceit I usually can't stand but this author does it brilliantly, in part by being totally unsentimental on all fronts.
Music
12: Schubert Magnificat, a very short, happy, inspiring choral piece (which I have also put in a fic, come to think of it)
48: Kapustin Piano Sonata no. 1, a marvelous piece by the Russian Gershwin.
83: Moszkowski Piano Concerto no. 1--not quite as delightful as his second piano concerto, but still deserves to be much better known. (Two obscure Eastern European Jewish composers in a row!)
