Drabble Challenge (Supernatural, X-Files, Hetalia)
Okay, so I snatched the idea from crazyeverafter who wrote amazing SPN drabbles with that challenge and I couldn't stop myself from trying to create something as well.
SPN mostly dominated those, but there's also few XF drabbles and one from Hetalia.
Enjoy! :)
Challenge:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward!
No matter how whacked out your drabble is. :)
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
(Since I was very strict about first thinking about someone I wanna write about and then letting the winamp pick next song… It sometimes turned out weirdly. Sorry Cass, but you know it’s Shakira who should be embarrassed, not you!)
(Also: no beta and quickly written and quickly checked, so beware.)
______________________________________________________________________
1. "Last Kiss Goodbye" - Lordi
(Fandom: Supernatural, Pairing: Sam/Dean, Rating: PG-13, Spoilers: End of S03)
They were getting out of Bobby's. Ready for the last try to save Dean. Ready to kill Lilith.
Dean noticed Sam's looks.
"I'm gonna be fine. There's no need to trust Ruby on this. You're not using your freaky powers and yet I'm going to be fine. Just. Fine." He said slowly, carefully. Punctuating every word as if he was talking to a kid with posttraumatic stress disorder or something. Pre-traumatic?
Sam grabbed him by the shirt and draw him closer, kissing him quickly and desperately. Then he moved, not looking back. Going out to fight for his brother.
Dean licked his lips, his eyes closing for a second.
2. "Memories" - Within Temptation
(Fandom: Hetalia, Pairing: Poland/Lithuania, Rating: Gen, Spoilers: It happens right after Lithuania is again free from Ivan.)
Poland looked at his guest standing at the doorstep.
"Well, well. Look who what the cat dragged in."
Lithuania's smile froze for a second. It was awkward from the first second, just as he was afraid it will be.
Sure once they were closer than most. Practically married.
But they were both killed, tore up and tortured. They were both resurrected, glued together and they were both still healing. They were different. Like to new countries, just that they had already long history.
He stared at his shoes, his eyes watering. He shouldn’t have come. It was too early. He just managed to get free again. He wasn't ready for awkwardness.
Poland sighed and made a step towards his old friend. And hugged him close to his warm chest.
Tears slipped from Lithuania's eyes.
But he kept on smiling.
3. ...Niebo złote ci otworzę - Janusz Radek
[/ „I’ll open the gold heaven for you” - or sth like that. Maybe I should skip the Polish song or write the drabble in Polish, but I liked the song too much and I hated switching the languages in the middle of a challenge ;)]
(Fandom: Supernatural, Pairing: Castiel/Dean sort of, Rating: Gen, Spoilers: 4th season, angels and all that mess)
Castiel wanted Dean to be happy. Wanted like he never wanted anything else.
Dean was his charge now, he was supposed to make sure he's alright. He's up to doing his job. And he was. He always was, because he never was. He was so used to being not-fine, that he didn't notice the difference most of the times anymore.
And Castiel wanted to help him. He wanted Dean smiling freely. Dean not being afraid for the future. Dean enjoying his life. Dean without nightmares about hell and daymares about Sam. Castiel wanted Dean to do what he felt like doing. To be a hero, who at least in his own home and family didn't have to fight. Who didn't have to spend every minute of his life grasping at his life falling apart.
But Castiel wasn't good and nice and sympathetic guardian angel. He wasn't here to perch on Dean's shoulder and protect him from the evil with his white, fluffy wings.
Castiel was a soldier.
Castiel could want whatever he wanted and yet he just dragged Dean, patched him up and tossed him into yet another battle. Over and over again. And Castiel could cry over this, but he was a warrior of his Lord.
And so was Dean.
4. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
(Fandom: X-Files, Pairing: Mulder/Scully sort of - I will swear to everyone who’d bother asking that it’s friend-shipper fic, Rating: Gen, Spoilers: None, I think.)
They were together. Always. They were fighting the good fight. Always. They fought on the right side. Always.
In the world were they changed the rules every time they started to win it was important to know something for sure. Whenever Mulder felt this small fire of hope building in him, because he found an answer, somebody changed the question. He found truth and learned it wasn't The Truth. That someone already invented new Truth. The world moved, the reality switched to accommodate his success and turn him into a looser and lonely gunman again.
But he wasn't alone.
He was Mulder, the believer the crusader the freak. She was Scully, the skeptic, the friend, the touchstone. And nothing could change that.
5. Beautiful Liar - Beyonce & Shakira
(Fandom: Supernatural - I swear Shakira likes this guys - , Pairing: Dean/OFCs, Rating: PG-13? - there’s and ‘f - word’… No, not fluffy! - , Spoilers: None, I think. At least not big.)
I'm the movie producer... I'm FBI agent... I'm famous guitar player... I'm an actor... I'm a private detective... I'm bikini inspektor...
The women and girls kept giggling, kept smiling, kept batting their eyelashes.
And he batted his right back at them. Smiled. Showed off his freckles.
And they awed and cooed and were wooed practically effortlessly. And they kept him satisfied and proud as he fucked them in his car, against the toilet wall, in the motel room.
The gun in the glove-box, the salt in the pocket, the knife still hidden under the pillow.
6. Hips Don't Lie - Shakira
(Fandom: Supernatural - I told you! - , Pairing: Dean/Castiel, Rating: PG-13 for dancing angels, Spoilers: There are angels).
Dean always thought that wondering how many angels can dance on the head of a pin was a stupid thing. Even before he met angels and the thought of Uriel dancing wherever made him giggle stupidly.
Of course then he didn't know that angels knew music better than anyone else. That they practically invented it and everything people created on Earth was just a weak shadow of Heaven's music. Of course back then, Dean hadn't have the whole club staring jealously while he moved on the dance-floor with his angel.
Now he probably won't be able to ever again hear this stupid question with a straight face.
7. Strong - Reamon
(Fandom: Supernatural, Pairings: Sam & Dean - not really slash - , Rating: Gen, Spoilers: serious for 4x14)
Fear came with everything that people didn't understand. Fear came with big changes. Fear came with being helpless. Fear came with being put in the corner and being made watch something play out before you and not being able to do anything about it.
The fear came with everything falling apart and everyone telling you, you're the only one who can stop it... Fear came with knowing you can't.
Fear clenched your soul, when you felt your tears mixing with the water from the shower, when you heard your own muffled sounds. Fear came when you were secretly crying few hours after you almost decapitated your brother. Fear came when you prayed he's strong enough to stay human so you won't have to try to kill him again.
Fear came because now you knew you'd be able to.
8. And then we kiss - Britney Spears.
(Fandom: X-Files, Pairing: Mulder/Scully… just shut up, Rating: Gen, Spoilers: They Kissed.)
They were so great together. Perfect partners. Perfect friends. So much closer then any family. Two closest people on the Earth. Living for one other. Being at each others back no matter what. No matter what was said or done, one thing was sure: they were in it together.
And Scully loved it and managed to get used to it. Managed to get used to smiling every time her mother, her friends, her colleagues hinted something more between her and Mulder. It was normal. Everyone thought they were stupidly in love with each other, that such a friendship was impossible. And yet it was. And Scully loved this feeling of her and Mulder proving everyone wrong.
And then they kissed.
9. Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.
(Fandom: X-Files, Pairing: Krycek/Scully… no comment, Rating: R for some disturbing images and seriously disturbing ending, Spoilers: None?)
Scully was perfect for him. She smelled to him like and expensive, enjoyable luxurious thing. He wondered if he smelt to her like wrong, bad and yet delightful thing. Or only like a rat.
She tasted like revenge and success and proving someone wrong. He wonder if he tasted to her like rebellion and defiance and danger. Or only like a desperation.
Her hair looked beautiful and crimson and he thought they looked like an artistic mix with all the blood.
It looked like the end.
10. Pretender Got My Heart - Alisha's Attic
(Fandom: Supernatural, Pairing: Sam/Ruby, Rating: PG-13 just to be safe, Spoilers: About Ruby.)
She didn't plan on seducing him at first. He was cute but seemed like it;d just complicate things. Which it did, when she finally did seduce him. But she couldn't stop herself.
It was like a game, like a competition, like a fight between them.
She pretended for him that she was nice and good girl, only there for him and to please him. Created and changed into a demon only so he could be with him hundreds of years after her death. He pretended she liked her no matter what. That he cared for her and her only. That even when he pleasured her new meat-suit he tried to reach for her. Pretend he was glad she was there and that it was good.
She bought both of those stupid, naive stories.
And he bought none.
SPN mostly dominated those, but there's also few XF drabbles and one from Hetalia.
Enjoy! :)
