There's been this type of prompts list going around in another fandom (Ghost Hunt) I follow, and I wanted to try it out.
The concept: put your mp3 player on shuffle, and write whatever comes to mind, whether it flows with the song or not. When the song stops, so do you!
The interesting thing about this is that you don't really need to know the song to read the drabble.
These were a lot of fun and different to write, and I advise you all to try it out, too! :-D
By the way, the chapter titles only have things to do with music. They don't have anything to do with the drabbles. x) Also, there are some spoilers in some of the drabbles, some are just mild, and I tried to mark the ones that were really spoiler-ish.
Thanks for reading!
1.
Break-
Sometimes, Break just wished that his whole life would end. But he could never do something of the sort – not because he was incapable, but because it was stupid.
All he could do was constantly wash the poison of sin from his skin, and hope one day he'll be whole again.
But there's hardly anything left to fix anymore.
Castle of Glass – Linkin Park
...
2.
Ada-
Ada couldn't help her cravings – her sick obsessions. She couldn't quite pinpoint when they had started, and she had a feeling that Uncle Oscar would not approve. Not that she would ever tell him.
All she could think about at night was Vincent. About how much she needed his love and attention. She just wanted him to come to her and ravish her, forgetting anything about gentleness and love.
But sometimes she couldn't help but think she was caught in something bigger.
Bad Romance – Lady GaGa
...
3.
Oz-
Oz was never sure sometimes where he was. Even if he knew the exact point of his location, he still felt lost and alone.
As time went on, it got worse. Sometimes he didn't even know who he was. And most of the time, people could remind him.
But not all the time.
Necessary Evil – The Devlins
...
4.
Jack-
Jack hated the ritzy people that walked by him on the street – with their noses in the air, dressed so fine with their umbrellas and canes.
When he first started donning his fancy clothes and hairstyle, he couldn't help thinking that he had become something that he despised.
But in the end, he really hadn't.
Puttin' On the Ritz – Taco
...
5.
Echo-
No matter what Echo did, Vincent was always mad at her. But she could never change the way she acted. Especially not anymore. He was losing more of a grip on her every day, even if they both didn't know it.
There was always time to fix it. Because there was no out of it, she was a servant. She couldn't run away.
Could she?
Not Meant to Be – Theory of a Deadman
...
6.
Lottie-
Lottie couldn't help the feelings she got whenever Oswald walked by. She first had tried to brush it off as a silly love struck crush that would leave. But it stayed. And only intensified.
But she could never be his. It wasn't even possible. Besides, he wasn't looking for anyone, anyway.
All she could hope for was that someday she found someone like him.
But in truth, she knew that it was never going to happen.
Someone Like You – Adele
...
7. (Spoilers)
Gil-
The darkness was real. Like an ugly poison running through him. There was never an escape from it.
In those dark nights, he felt something inside him. Like another being. He used to just say that it was the Raven, but he knew better.
And now, as he pulled the trigger on the gun, as he saw the bullet enter Oz's chest, he realized that the thing inside of him was winning.
Grim Goodbye – Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

8.
Vincent –
Sometimes, Vincent liked causing trouble, just to see how his brother would react.
Hurting people helped him feel better. If only Gil knew that there was no way to put him back together. He had shattered too fully.
Sometimes – Skillet
...
9.
Alice-
No one truly knew who Alice was. Not even Alice.
She tried not to prove anything to them. She was true to herself. But it had become harder and harder to act that way. She had changed, and the judgment in peoples' eyes had begun to harm her. She couldn't tell who she should be anymore.
It was hard to pretend that she was unaffected by them, now.
Unaffected – Hoobastank
...
10.
Jack-
Jack couldn't help that everyone talked about him and Lacie. He didn't know why. Well, maybe it had been because of the way he had practically tackled her to the ground when he had first reunited with her.
He hadn't realized how fast rumors and gossip could travel until he entered the higher-class.
Everybody Talks – Neon Trees
