Musical Zutara prompts!
So I posted a sort of "prompts playlist" on my personal lj and jade_sabre_301 suggested that I post it here as well. And most of these songs do lend themselves quite well to Zutara!
I picked songs and lyrics from those songs that stuck out/inspired ideas in me and so perhaps they'll do the same for any of you Zutara writers who are stuck/looking for ideas? So I guess this is a challenge to you writers out there to write something based on one of the lyrics below or one of the songs below and write...something Zutara-y. Whether it's a drabble or something longer, I'd love to read what you write!
1) First Love // Adele
"So little to say but so much time"
"Forgive me first love, but I'm tired. I need to get away, to feel again"
"Excuse me first love, but we're through. I need to taste the kiss of someone new"
"I'm bored, to say the least, and I, I lack desire"
2) Best For Last // Adele
"Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve? It's been there for days on end and it's been waiting for you to open up yours, too, baby"
"You should know that you're just a temporary fix"
"You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free"
"I'm taking these chances and getting nowhere"
3) Sort Of // Ingrid Michaelson
"Baby you've got the sort of face to start this old heart"
"And if I was stronger, then I would leave this show"
"But here I am, and here we go again"
"You don't need me, but you won't leave me"
4) King Anything // Sara Bareilles
"So many things I'd say if only I were able, but I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by"
"I'm not drowning, there's no one here to save"
"You sounds so innocent, so full of good intent"
"You're so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps"
5) I Am Not A Robot // Marina and the Diamonds
"You don't always have to be on top"
"You're lovable, so lovable, but you're just troubled"
"Can you teach me how to feel real?"
"Guess what? I'm not a robot"
6) Stay // Lisa Loeb
"And now that I am leaving, now I know that I did something wrong"
"Lovers in love, and the other's run away, lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay"
"You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong"
"I thought, "hey I can leave, I can leave," but now I know that I was wrong"
7) Later On // Kate Nash
"I used my body and his desperation"
"And later on, I'll cry my stupid eyes out"
"Yeah baby, don't get so disappointed, I am not what you anticipated"
"I let him down, I didn't mean to make him sad"
8) Hotel Paper // Michelle Branch
"I write mostly on hotel paper, knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room"
"I try to smile but I can't remember"
"You turned out to be more than I bargained for"
"Forgive me if I admit that I'd love to love you. We both realized it way too late"
9) Losing Sleep (Acoustic) // Charlotte Sometimes
"Be the humble girl you are, don't cry in strangers' cars"
"I'm awake and I've been losing sleep, I've been fighting all my demons, I've been getting weak"
"What a silly dream, oh silly, silly me, to think I had a handle on this"
"I know, I know I lose"
10) White Houses // Vanessa Carlton
"Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us, with pretty eyed boys girls die to trust"
"The summer's all in bloom, summer's ending soon"
"He's my first mistake"
"Maybe you were all faster than me, we gave each other up so easily"
Personally, I'm already thinking about an Aang/Katara breakup fic with hints of Zutara for the first song. If anybody wanted to write that, that'd be pretty awesome.
