Pairing: FfA #2002 Lilah / Jayne (Firefly)
Summary: 20 songs, 20 pairings. Spend Some Time by Eminem, feat. Obie Trice, Stat. Quo, & 50 Cent
Part Summary: Lilah picked the wrong guy to turn to get what she wants out of the crew. .
Spend Some Time
The come-hither stare always worked. It had worked with Wesley, even after her death. But that was hundreds of years ago, and they were both long gone. This fellow seemed the perfect mark for her, though. He was dumb enough to give her what she wanted, and big and pretty enough to give her the extra incentive. Jayne Cobb was one helluva specimen, and it’d been a long time since she’d had any.
That and it would be an excellent way to get on board Serenity. The Senior Partners wanted to know what Malcolm Reynolds was up to, and what he was hiding. Going through on Jayne would give her that much more leverage with the big boys.
“Jayne, take me to your ship?” Lilah purred, biting at he ear.
“Oh, no can do. Cap’n don’t like tourists. This here wall’s good nuff -” Jayne groaned, undoing the belt buckle with one hand, and cupping her butt with the other..
Damn, she thought a little over an hour later, when Jayne had left her in the alleyway behind the bar. She ached all over, and had only gotten half of what she wanted. She’d enjoyed it, but the Senior Partners wouldn’t be pleased. He’d also picked her pocket. Cursing in Chinese, Lilah looked up to see Serenity take off.
“Damn, he’s smarter than he looks.”

Pairing: FfA #365 Xander / Ava (Roswell)
Summary: 20 songs, 20 pairings. Lonely by Brian McKnight
Part Summary: Two lonely people meet in a coffee shop
Lonely
Xander shook the rain out of his hair, wiped his feet on the aging welcome mat. The brightly lit sunshine yellow diner was nearly empty. Only one waitress manned the counter, and the cook was in back, reading a Stephen King novel. The waitress fumbled with her order pad when he took a seat at the counter.
He grinned at her, as best as he could. His eye patch was chaffing him and he really wasn’t in the mood to grin. He’d been attracting demon chicks lately, and well, it kinda sucked being nearly devoured every time you wanted to take a girl out to dinner.
“What can I getcha?” The waitress blurted, keeping her eyes down.
“Cup a coffee’ll do,” Xander smiled.
“Right. Coffee. It - it um, still pourin’ out there?” There was an accent to her voice, one he could kinda place. “You ask me, ya gotta be half outta ya head to be out in this weather.”
She spoke over her shoulder while pouring the coffee for him. She turned back and set it down. Xander’s eye dipped to the name tag. Ava. She smiled at him, brushing back a dyed purple strand of hair. She waited for him to answer.
“Kinda. Gotta get someplace, and I’m not a big fan of planes, so I opted to drive.”
“Really? Where you headed to?” Ava leaned forward on her elbows, her eyes wide with curiosity.
“New York.”
“Oh, I’m from New York,” There’s a tinge of sadness in her voice, and her eyes cloud over for a minute.
“I’ve only been there once. More of a West Coast boy, but not in a whole rap feud kinda way,” Xander replied, plastering that grin back on.
“Yeah, could tell by your accent,” Ava grinned.
“Say, you wanna join me for a cup of coffee? Or will that get you in trouble with the Man?”
“Who, Caesar? He’s ‘bout to take his nap - who’s he gonna rat on me to?” Ava laughed, more than she had since Zan died. She‘d been lonely for too long, and here was this smiling, happy man who wanted to have coffee with her. “I’d like a cup a coffee.”
“Great, my name’s Xander by the way,” he grinned back as she slid on to the stool next to him.

Big Eyed Fish
“Quit looking at me like that!” Anya hit him on his bare back again for good measure.
“How can I look at you if you’re on top of me, you crazy -Ow!” Hannibal yelled again.
“Quit making that big eyed fish face. It’s fairly disturbing, especially when I’m trying to consider how many orgasms that you’ll be shortly giving me.”
“ORGASMS? What is it with you crazy women and making me your personal bitch?”
“You’re so good at it? And don’t bring Danica up again. I find she often ruins my moods, and I am quite horny. Besides, I helped liberate you, didn’t I?”
“You only helped because you were wreaking vengeance! I hunt your kind, remember that?”
“No, you don’t hunt vengeance demons, you hunt vampires. Not me. I liberated you.”
“And now you’ve got me captive in order to give you orgasms. Not really feelin’ liberated,” Hannibal spat.
“That’s just because you have yet to see me naked. They almost always agree to give me many orgasms after they see me naked. I’m quite perky.”
“Oh, for the love of -”
“Quit making that face, King!”

Summary: 20 songs, 20 pairings. You Make Me a Better Man by 5ive
Part Summary: Andrew finds someone to look up to.
You Make Me a Better Man
Andrew sighed as he covertly watched Zoe and Wash together. They were the most nauseatingly sane thing on board this spaceship, but they were also the coolest. Kaylee was like an over caffeinated Dawn, and River was two shades shy of Dana-crazy. Mal was always cranky, Inara was all kinds of Buffy-dignified but still a lady of the night, and both Simon and Shepherd Book reminded him of Mr. Giles. And he stayed far away from Jayne, because he just scared the crap outta him.
Zoe was okay, again with the reminding him of the slayers. Regal warrior women, sent out to destroy the evils in a galaxy far, far, away. Wash was the man, what with his humor and coolness. Plus, he was A-class, Han Solo award worthy. He had the coolness and the humor, and got all the cool chicks. Chicks meaning Zoe, but she was still hot. So, shedding his Watcher persona, Andrew was all kinds of ready to become what Wash was. A kick as pilot with a heart of gold, and a witty repertoire. A good, wholesome kinda guy. Except, you know, without the flying, cause he was locked in a closet until they figured out what to do with him. Oh, and there was that pesky condition of his....

Pairing: FfA #1207 Connor / Violet Baudelaire (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Summary: 20 songs, 20 pairings. Simple Man by Shinedown
Part Summary: He does things the simple, straightforward way, she likes complicated plans.
Simple Man
If she were the type to just hack at it, maybe he could understand the girl he was currently trapped with. But no, she was ripping apart pieces of metal and what not. He, on the other hand, was single-handily fighting off three vampires, who all wanted a taste of the girl squatting over her invention, as if that would save them.
Connor knocked the lead vamp into the other two, sending them backwards in a heap. He raced towards Violet, trying to yank her to her feet.
“No, I’m almost done!” She yelled, poking at the metal contraption.
“Forget it, kid, we’ve got nothing, and no time -” Connor snapped, feeling the vamps untangle themselves and readying to launch themselves at the two teens.
“There’s always something! Got it!”
Violet pressed the little red shirt button twice, before hooking her fingers into Connor’s sweatshirt. She yanked him down forcefully as the vamps leapt. Connor tucked her close to himself, and rolled to the left, fully expecting the vamps to land heavily on them. Instead there was a barely noticable drop of ash onto his back. The girl beneath him smirked up at him.
“I call it the Multiple Duster Mechanism. Shoots at least three stakes at a time,” Violet said happily.
“It can never be simple with you, can it?” Connor groaned.
“No.”

Part Summary: Just one chance is all I ever wanted.
A/N: Picture Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle Dylan: only darker, and less kill-y. Eerie, ain’t it?
Just One
Faith took another drag on the cigarette, swearing it was the last one she’d smoke for a long time. Hell, she needed one. Hadn’t expected to see old Bull here. Heard he was dead - course it’d take more than a bullet to stop that crazy fucker. She grinned at that, remembering the last time she’d seen him.
He’d given her a good hard thrust, and hell if it wasn’t just what the doc had ordered. Accurate aim, and he hit it every time. Man was mad as a hatter, but he was precise. Also had an accent to die for.
Faith held the cigarette far from her lips, blowing the smoke through her lips. The wind rustled her dark hair as she sat on the balcony, still recovering from the full body workout the fight had taken out on her. It was a good ache.
She caught movement out of the corner of her eye, tensed and waited for the other shoe to drop. When it didn’t, she turned to take one last drag. Except the cigarette was neatly cut off at the filter. Robin was trying to get her to cut back, and she only got half a pack a week. That was her last on for the week. But she found herself grinning even as she swore, ”Son of a bitch is too good.”

Part Summary: Something so hard to find. ..
You Got That Something
Buffy blinked a few times. She was sure the good-looking All-American blond guy hadn’t been there the whole time. In fact, she was getting not-so-normal vibes off of him. Quickly dusting the vamp in her way, Buffy raced across the alley just as he bent over the woman who’d been knocked down.
“Piper, are you okay?”
“Ow, no that hurt!” The woman snapped, her eyes landing on Buffy. “Who’re you?”
“Buffy, and I just saved you from becoming a vamp’s dinner,” Buffy snapped right back, her gaze going to Leo instead. “What are you?”
“”Scuse me, I believe I was asking the questions here,” Piper demanded.
“You’ve got this freaky vibe that’s sending off my spidey-senses, and trust me when I say you don’t want to be doing that,” Buffy demanded.
“Hey, back off of my husband, lady.” Piper stood between the two of them ready to freeze or blow her up - however it happened - if she took one more step towards Leo.
“I’m not a threat,” Leo answered. “I’m not a vampire or a demon.”
“Huh?” Piper asked.
“What are you then?”
“I’m a whitelighter - kinda like guardian angels, every witch gets one. Slayers used to as well, but the Powers didn’t want us involved any longer, and the balance demons took over.” Leo watched as the woman’s face clouded over. “I’m sorry.”
“What for? Wasn’t your decision,” Buffy blinked, her mind recalling what the Powers had said about Angel - both now and then. How the powers couldn’t intervene. If this woman was a witch, he was a whitelighter, and they were married, Buffy figured he must understand. “Maybe it’s time your boys upstairs take an avid interest.”

Part Summary: What are we?
Are We the Waiting
The first thing and last thing he expected to see after fading away was a woman. He knew that he’d changed the course of history, but he hadn’t expected to see much of anything after his ‘death’.
“Well, kid, there’s always a catch, some stupid little clean up piece you’ve got to play. Soul’s different, not the same as the one Baby Chris has now,” the woman smiled. “You’re not the same - so, most likely the Powers’ll give you another shot. One with less angst and brooding, and lucky you, got me to guide you.”
“Who - where am I?” Chris muttered.
“The big L, kid. Limbo. I’ve been here since I died. It kinda sucks, but they haven’t figured out what to do with me yet. Until you showed up like a little lost, and pathetic lamb. I’m Cordelia.”
“What are we?”
“The undecided. Means we popped outta our tapestry into a big heap of nothing. We basically sit here and do nothing. But we do get to see what happens in the real world. Well, not the Real World, because there’s a lot less drinking and sex, but our old lives anyway.”
“So we sit here and wait?” Chris said flatly.
“Basically.”

Warnings: Character Death
Inner Strength
River counts the functions and processes as they flow and happen around her. Captain is shouting, blood pressure and heart rate moving at faster rates. Jayne’s are faster as well, but he is in his bunk - trying to be quiet. River found herself grinning a bit at what he was really doing.
Kaylee and Simon are laughing over something in the mess. Zoe and Wash. . . .their feelings overwhelm her a bit, as they always seem to do. She would never lash out at those two, because they are the closest to feeling alive as she can get some days. Only one person on board Serenity is completely at peace. It is the girl resting in the med-lab, her least of all favorite places on board.
“It’s easy to just let everything go, know other’s will do it for you. But it’s easy, not right, little one.”
River blinks, knows she doesn’t really see the girl standing in front of her. She’s in a coma in the lab. Shepherd Book is praying over her.
“You have to find the balance, River. Find what you need to get yourself and your crew through. I won’t be here for you forever. Rely on yourself to get the job done, when need be.” The blonde girl smiles at her, and River can feel the tears well up in her eyes. “Good-bye, River. Get the job done.”
It is twenty minutes later that Shepherd Book comes to tell the crew that the girl named Buffy has passed on.
