I have used this occasionally, but usually for not-so-serious shorts, though I see what you are trying to do. It's quite hard so I don't have much pointers, other than looking at how other authors have done it.

An example that comes to mind is Night Watch by Lukyanenko. In his books, he at times spells out the lyrics for a song (In English, in the translated versions) using this format:

Character does something.

Centered text with lyricsCentered text with lyrics

Character does something (mention music, nodded along, what have you).

That might be one way of doing it, but it's still hard. use it sparingly.

Any pointers on the story itself?
And no, it was just a quick look. I'm not interested in most, if any, fanfics, bar things I can easily spot. I'm not really good at it either so I'll keep to the structural stuff.
