1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.
I thought it would be fun.

Stop, Shuffle, Resume
"You have my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart."
'Umbrella' - Taylor Swift (a cover of the Rihanna song)
As Kyo walked slowly through the pouring rain, eyes staring unfocused at the glossy ground beneath him, he almost didn't notice the arm that snaked its way around his waist, or the smile on his lover's face as he held the black and white spotted umbrella high above their heads. The rain wasn't nearly as bad when the younger boy was with him.

"Making up memories of you.. For now, your picture will do."
'Memories of You' - Ryan Adams
The pictures were faded, torn, and covered with an old mask of dust that didn't seem to want to wipe away. Haru stared down at the smiling face of his kitten, forever frozen with that shy little grin on his face; the only memory the ox had left of him. He stared silently out the old attic window, bringing a hand through his gradually graying hair, as tears trailed slowly from, pale, wrinkled eyes.

"I'm never gonna be good enough for you. I can't pretend that I'm alright."
'Perfect' - Simple Plan
He didn't attend the funeral, nor did he even care to visit the grave after the reception had already ended. From his hiding place across the street, he could see that there weren't that many mourners, and no one seemed to be too terribly broken by the man's death. He sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets and making his way toward the busy city streets. If anyone had recognized him as the dead man's son, they didn't say a word.

"It's time to make you sweat; sex and sugar is the flavor, ovens and beaters and graters."
'Yummy' - Gwen Stefani
The cat smirked slyly. Or, he would've, had his lips not been sucking lightly on the oh-so sensitive member of his black and white haired partner. His nose briefly stroked the dual colored patch between the younger boy's legs, and he held back the urge to sneeze. He hoped the ox was in too much bliss to see him, because he knew his expression must be far from sexy, and he was relieved to see the boy's head thrown back in ecstasy. "Kitten.." He groaned, and Kyo shuddered, taking Haru's full length deep into his throat.

"The moon is as blood, over the soldiers who sag in the mud."
'Save Our City' - Ludo
His ruby irises eyed the field warily, questioning for what seemed like the billionth time that day, if he was really willing to sacrifice his life to protect the Sohma Kingdom. As a lowly servant, he didn't have much of a choice anyway ("fight or die!", Queen Akito had said), and he wasn't daft enough to doubt her. He gripped the shaft of his sword, a bead of sweat running from his brow. From where he stood, he could see Prince Yuki mounting his horse, and Princess Tohru watching worriedly from behind the castle walls. He sighed nervously, jumping slightly as a hand touched his arm. The young knight, Haru, smiled down at him, making his face flush and his heart fill with a mysterious, new found courage.
fin.

I'm working on about three or four oneshots, so I decided to blow off some steam by giving you a glimpse into my playlist. While I have no memory of ever adding that Simple Plan song (they're okay, but I just don't listen to them that often), Ludo is one of my all-time favorites. I met them twice around five years ago, and they've always been really cool. aha, they're such geeks!
anywho, I'm glad I finally got this out of my system.
