Author's Note: I saw one of these on here a few days ago and thought "Hey, I can do that! I never finish stories, anyway!" So yeah. Here we go. I twisted the rules a little bit. I picked the pairing BEFORE shuffling the music, just to make it extra super special challenging. The rules, otherwise, are pretty simple. Put your music playing whatever on shuffle, whatever song comes up is the song you have to work with. You have only the length of the song to write the drabble. No dwelling, no tweaking. As soon as the player reads 0:00, you're DONE, brah. Most of these are a few lines short of what I would consider complete, but I hope that you can figure out what I was going for. I've pledged to write 50 of these, 5 at a time, but we'll see how that goes.


Pairing: L/Light

Song: Imaginary by Evanescence

Light bolted awake, screaming. The chain that attached he and L together sprung taught, jerking the detective's arm to an uncomfortable angle.

"Did Light-kun have his recurring nightmare again?" L asked, reaching out a hand to brush the tousled chestnut locks out of his lover's eyes.

"I… I did," Light confessed, regaining control of his breathing.

"I wish that Light-kun would tell me what these dreams are about. Perhaps I could help him discover the source and-"

"It's nothing, Ryuzaki," Light brushed off. "I'm alright."

"Light-kun was just screaming," L countered. "If you were alright-"

"I'm fine." Light repeated.

What L didn't know was that Light was only screaming because he'd woken up.


Pairing: L/Mello

Song: Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65

Blue. L's world was blue. Pale blue. Crystal blue. Ice blue. The blue of his lover's eyes.

"Is there something on my face?" Mello asked, snuggling deeper into the older man's embrace. "You keep staring."

"No," L responded, tearing his eyes away from the boy's face and bumping his nose against his forehead. "You should sleep. You have class in the morning."


Pairing: Near/Matt

Song: Bulletproof by La Roux

"Sheep," Matt spat. "Bleeding little rat."

"Matt, I-"

"Save it, you little albino freak."

Near didn't even know what he had done.

"Mello was right. I should have stayed away from you."

"If Matt would tell me what I did," Near began, reaching out to touch him. Matt smacked his hand away.

"What's the use? Don't pretend to have emotions."

Near looked to the floor.


Pairing: L/Matsuda

Song: Kill Caustic by AFI

"This will not continue," L said, pushing away the rookie investigator as he moved to embrace him.

Matsuda was confused and hurt. "What's wrong?"

"Our relationship," L said bluntly.

"Ryuzaki, L-"

"Don't say my name."


Pairing: Light/Mikami

Song: Cloud 9 by Evanescence

"God," Mikami began, voice trembling. "What are you-"

"Don't say anything," Light snapped, pulling off Mikami's glasses and tossing them aside. "Don't you want to please your god?"

"I… I do," Mikami dropped his head.

"Then do as I tell you," Light commanded gently, dipping his head to whisper against the shell of Mikami's ear. "Just surrender."

Mikami froze. Did he understand correctly? Did God… want him? "God…"

"Lay down," Light ordered, pushing Mikami down onto the bed and straddling him. "And stop talking."

"Yes, God."

Light began running his hands through Mikami's hair, toying with it until it stuck up in every direction.
