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.

Sorry about the Stravinsky! Let me know if there's another composer (period/style/etc.) you might prefer :)

It's happened to me several times recently, and while it's quite a natural thing, I expect, it does still always feel a little sad.
Oh absolutely don't worry about it! Maybe Stravinsky and I will make peace one day ;)

(There are also a handful of books that I read when young to the point of wearing grooves into my brain, so I feel like I don't ever really need to reread them again, they're permanently input, for good or ill...).
