iTunes (iPod) Ficlet Meme (but I'm cheating and using WinAmp - are we still cool?)
Thanks, kitnkabootle, for belatedly dragging me away from my achievement whoring on World of Warcraft to participate in this.
>_>
I want the "Love Fool" title, dammit! Don't judge me!
/em cries at the lack of Lovely Black Dresses and Bags of Candies.
Erm, anyway. Here goes:
The Challenge:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like (this is for le DWP comm, natch).
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble/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 afterwards!
4. Do five of these and post them.
I'm cheating in two ways: a) I'm using WinAmp, because I'm lazy and don't feel like opening up iTunes, and b) if I have two songs that pop up from the same soundtrack, I'm hitting the skip button so I can get the next song. I have a LOT of game soundtracks (like the four disc monsters from Final Fantasy - what?), and I've had it play a song from FFX from Discs 1, 2, and 4, right in a row. Do we really need two songs where Andy gains a level and learns some new spells after a boss battle? Yeah, I didn't think so, either.
Other than that, I'm doing this straight up. Werd, bishes.
Title: The infamous iTunes Challenge
Rating: PG-13 or less for all five. There's some implied violence in a few, and implied het sex in one other, but nothing graphic.
Pairing: Eh... Miranda/Andy, if you squint. Emily/Pure Awesome in number 3.
Summary: A mixed bag of mostly-crack fics, based on my WinAmp playlist. Enjoy!
1) Noir Original Soundtrack II: In Peace
Andrea sipped at her tea, looking over the lush gardens of Le Grande Retour. She knew this day was coming - they both did. She turned to look at her partner, who had set her own cup on the table between them, next to Andy's own pistol. "So, this is it," she murmured, her voice low.
Miranda pulled down her black sunglasses, her eyes glancing over the rims to stare at her younger charge. "It could be," she shrugged. "But let's enjoy the moment for now, yes?"
2) Muse - Hullabaloo (CD1): Forced In
She thought about everything that had happened up to this moment - her childhood, her adolescence, her career (or lack thereof) - everything. She shut her eyes for a moment, and then nodded.
She heard a distinctive, metallic noise as the zipper tore the little metal teeth apart, and she spread her legs as her editor straddled over her.
She'd do anything to escape this hell hole - to escape her life as Miriam Princhek.
Push me in
Into greed
Force me in
Into greed
Squeeze me in
Into greed
3) Uematsu Nobuo - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST: Saranai Tatakau Mono Tachi
Emily grinned maniacally as she drove the purring machine down the freeway. She could feel the group of them (those damned clones) breathing down the back of her neck... but even THAT couldn't quell the rush of excitement she got from riding along the open roads. She glanced over at her fellow Turk, and laughed as Nigel jumped the bridge. She saw one of the clones veer off to chase him, as the other two sped up and cut in front of her.
She brought her bike to a screeching halt and flicked her glasses up. "So, you blokes want to play rough, eh?" she asked, chuckling all the while. "Alright then, you've got your wish."
Emily faltered for a moment as their glowing blue eyes bored into her own, but she thought of her fellow Turks, and her boss, and she shook her head. She reached into her satchel and pulled out the mini-nuke, which had been running down the clock the entire trip.
"Catch!"
She chucked it at the first clone on the left and kicked her bike back into full throttle, winking at the clone on the right.
4) Final Fantasy XII: Upheaval (Imperial Version)
Miranda refused - REFUSED - to let Ravitz have his way. She'd throw everything she into this fight, to prevent him from winning... everything.
She looked over her city, watching the chaos with a detached eye as her soldiers clashed against that of the Empire. They would lose, she had no doubt, but they were but mere fodder compared to the real battle that was going on within the depths of the Empire itself.
Andrea. Her mind's eye focused in on the young thief, who was currently fighting her way through the catacombs of the old cities, trying to find the last of the ancient Espers who served her lineage for so long.
5) Nickleback: Savin' Me
She didn't want to answer the door; no doubt it was crowded with the paparazzi, reporters, and lawyers, among other, less savory characters. The doorbell rang again, and seconds later the door opened.
THAT got her attention. How DARE they enter my home uninvited? She wrapped her robe around herself and stalked down the stairs, cell phone in hand and fingers flitting across the keypad to call security -
- and promptly froze as warm brown eyes locked into her own.
"What... what are you doing here?" she whispered as her phone dropped from numb fingers.
Andrea walked forward, her hands grasping at the frayed gray sleeves of her robe.
"Saving you, Miranda."
.... and done.
That was harder than the micro-fics, for sure. Time limits and I don't get along too well sometimes >_>
Ok, back to farming for achievements, and putting the finishing touches on my V-Day Massacre (tm) Gift Exchange.
