ETC Gift Ficlet 33: The Anthemicronicon

So, cookleta_etc had a holiday post where folk made requests for holiday gift ficlets. This one is lovely lirielviridian's request. Sweet Anna has been having a tough week, and I'm posting rough/unbetaed in hopes it will cheer her a little!

Title: The Age of Music
Recipient:lirielviridian
Rating, Genre: G, steampunk AU
Wordcount: 3,800+ words
Characters: The Anthemic, David Archuleta, Jason Castro, Maroon 5
Request: "A ficlet in which DCook can do ~magic with his voice, as in, he's a songcaster. And the band is there for added power, to have his back, and Monty (him since he's oldest and the most ~experienced) directs the music in the right place when the spell needs to cover a specific area. Together, they BATTLE EVIL."
A/N: Anna, I am sorry that my vision of magic in this verse provides Monty with the "grounding" rather than "directing" role! * Extended A/N/footnotes at the end of the story.
