Ten songs drabble meme!
Title: Drabble Meme
Fandom: NARNIA RPF. :D
Characters/Pairings: Georgie/Skandar, Ben/Anna, Will/Skandar, James/Georgie, Skandar/Anna, Georgie/Will P., Anna/Georgie, Ben/Georgie, and Rachael Henley/Anne-Marie Duff!
Rating: As per usual, I go no higher than a very very light T.... :/
A/N: likecharity did this meme first, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. :B
This exercise made me write sooooo many pairings that I never, ever write or even read (much). It was fun!
Also, I only have eighty-nine songs on my iPod right now, so some artists/albums are repeated. The more you know....
If you want me upload any of these for you, just drop me a line! Otherwise, I think YouTube has most of them.... :/ *is lazy*
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble 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 ten of these, then post them.
1. Under the Weather - KT Tunstall
Georgie/Skandar
Georgie shrugged and turned to face Skandar.
"I don't think it's right," she said, and adjusted the raincoat's hood to see him better.
Skandar said nothing. The rain drenched him as he stared into space, feeling the full meaning of Georgie's words. And despite everything, she couldn't help but feel guilty for being the girl. If only Skandar wasn't so damn chivalrous, he could be dry right now.
If he weren't chivalrous, all this could have been avoided.
2. Another Rather Lovely Thing - Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
Ben/Anna, implied past Ben/Georgie
Ben tromped out of the trailer and took long, fast strides into the night. It was all Georgie could do to keep up.
"Why won't you just talk to her?"
"You know exactly why I can't, Georgie," Ben said gruffly. "You know better than anyone why."
"And that's why I think you're being stupid!" she shouted, not caring who heard through the heavy rain.
"What does it matter? She isn't even here." From Ben's mouth, these were the worst words of all.
3. Rather Lovely Thing - Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
Will/Skandar - This is set right after some kind of giant party. Possibly after the PC wrap party? Hence Anna's totally wasted state. IDK.
P.S. I NEVER EVER WRITE WILL/SKANDAR. BLAME LIKECHARITY. *shrugs*
"I can't stand it when you look at me like that," muttered Will, looking away.
Anna lolled on the sofa nearby in her sleep and snored on. Skandar didn't even blink.
"You knew you'd have to leave sooner or later," Skandar said accusatively. "Why'd you have to let this happen?"
"It's not all that simple," Will said. A fist clenched in the heart.
4. The PowerOut - Danú
James/Georgie
"God damn, James, did you really need to wear that kilt?" asked Georgie, and he couldn't tell whether she was really fed up or not. "Well, there's no time to change, so you'll just have to go as you are."
James was affronted. "For your information, being Scottish happens to be the most important thing in my life."
"More important than me?" teased Georgie, leaning into his shoulder. James just smiled and leaned back.
5. Polythene Pam - The Beatles
Skandar/Anna
"You seriously lost your cat?" Skandar asked with incredulity. "I didn't even know you had a cat."
"What did you think this was, a booty call?" Anna joked, and Skandar was silent. He formed the awkward turtle sign with his hands.
6. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Georgie/Will P. - WHY DO I WRITE WILL P. BEING HIT IN THE FACE WITH THINGS?? WHY?
KARAOKE NIGHT, the sign read.
"You can't be serious," protested Georgie.
"Oh, but I am," said Will P., with an evil grin on his face.
Prospects looked grim.
Twenty minutes later, Georgie and Will P. were standing on the bar, singing a cappella with disconnected mics as lyrics flashed on the box across the room, out of sight.
Georgie headbanged ferociously, arms stretched out for balance, and her hair hit Will P. in the face. Unseeing, he lost his balance, tripping into someone's spilt liquor and nearly nosediving off the platform. With lightning reflexes, Georgie grabbed him by his waist and would not let go.
Suspended in midair, Will P. choked out, "Thanks - I think."
"Any time," she said, and Georgie was glad he couldn't see her blush.
7. Cowgirl - Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
Skandar/Anna
"All right, you first," Anna challenged, propped against the wall.
Skandar took a card from the deck and shut his eyes.
"J-Jack of hearts?" he guessed uncertainly, holding it up for Anna to see.
"Wrong!" she said triumphantly, and laughed. "Go on."
Skandar rose and removed his jacket.
Half an hour later, much clothing had hit the floor, and Anna was left in a bra and jeans. Skandar sat swimming in a too-large shirt; his boxers were all else he had on.
"I think we should stop now," Anna suggested, staring at Skandar in a way he'd never seen her do before.
"Why?" he breathed, and she shivered.
8. Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
Anna/Georgie
The wind thrashed through Georgie's hair and into her face. Anna thought that she hadn't seen her look lovelier since they met.
Georgie turned from the road to look at Anna's face.
"I want it to be like this forever." Open, honest. Everything had changed in their lives, but they were each other's constant.
"Then let it," Anna said peaceably.
9. Again & Again - Holly Brook
Ben/Georgie
Ben grasped both of Georgie's smaller hands in his.
"This isn't going to be easy," he whispered, and he sounded a lot more scared than she felt.
"I know, she said firmly, and took the first step into the flashing lights' and cameras' sea.
They tried to be as obvious as possible while being tasteful. Will agreed to lead the rest of the group away ahead as they dawdled behind, staring back as he walked away. His glance was curious, indecipherable.
The dating rumors would hit the magazines come next morning, and they would have to deal when it happened, say "Yes" to the press. They had asked for this, after all.
"I feel lighter already," Georgie whispered that night in bed. And as she nestled closer, Ben had to agree.
10. Ruby Rises - Oren Lavie
Rachael/Anne-Marie - I invented this ship and I am obsessed with it. :B
Rachael opened the door. On the threshold was a very familiar blonde.
"Wh-what is this? What's happened?"
"I left him," announced Anne-Marie, and she looked happier than Rachael could remember seeing her in a long time.
"Where are your things?" Rachael asked, stupidly staring at Anne-Marie's sparse luggage.
"This is it!" the older woman blurted, nearly giggling. "He can have the rest!"
For a moment Rachael just stared, trying to make sense of what has happening. At first only one word made sense: Finally. It played and replayed in her head.
Anne-Marie stood there, patiently, silently waiting. Quite suddenly Rachael realized her rudeness.
"Come in."
