Okay... I regret that I don't have much in the way of updates on existing stories. I assure you that I have been working on 14th C, Homecoming, and The New Blood, but my inspiration has been... fickle.
I'm going back through some stories I remember liking on this site so as to put some fuel on the creative fire and get my brain back onto the right train of thought.

It is one of the greatest OSTs ever created. If I recall correctly, they went to an actual Catholic abbey to get the Gregorian chant. Even if I'm remembering that wrong, they still nailed the style.

No, that's exactly the kind of answer I was wanting.
Never played Halo myself, but I loved listening to Volume 1 of the soundtrack to Halo 2 when someone recommended it to me.

My tastes are... pretty eclectic. Skillet and Casting Crowns are easy picks, as I like 99% of their stuff. Same with Trans Siberian Orchestra. While both Nickelback and Shinedown have plenty of songs that I actively dissuade people from listening to, they also have some of my absolute favorite songs. Most of Sabaton, especially their WWI and Polish stuff, is fantastic. I listen to a lot of game soundtracks, like Iron Harvest, Lords of the Realm II, and Halo (incidentally also some of my favorite games). Likewise, good movie soundtracks like those from LOTR and Narnia. Clamavi De Profundis is a family that does LOTR-style and legit Gregorian Chant music and they're amazing. And, because I'm a stereotype, I also listen to plenty of Gregorian chant from actual Catholic abbeys and monasteries and convents. One of my odder picks is the Hillbilly Thomists, named such because they're Dominicans (St. Thomas Aquinas' order) and they play Christian bluegrass music. It's fun.
My writing mix is instrumental songs by Valter Nowak (the albums are Dark Matter and Realization), a bit of Narnia, LOTR, and Halo with a splash of Iron Harvest, mostly instrumental or light vocals throughout.
That's probably a more detailed answer than was needed or desired. But there you go.
What are some of your favorite bands you like to listen to, if any?
