Summary: A meme, rules explained below.

Disclaimer: Ah, Utena. Still not mine, please don't take this as more than strictly not-for-profit fun.
Notes: A music meme! It goes like this:
Music Meme
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.
The time constraint made these surprisingly hard, and I'll be the first to admit that the ficlets are pretty unpolished. Still, in the spirit of the thing, I have no plans to edit them. Also in the spirit of the thing, feel free to listen to the music as you read:

1. Viva Voce- The Tiger & How We Tamed It. 4:57
Tenjo Utena was a strong woman, admired by her coworkers and friends. People in distress knew she could be counted on, and the dishonest, the liars, and the backstabbers often had trouble meeting her eyes.
Only one knew that she shuddered in the dark and cried in starlight, only Himemiya Anthy sat up in bed night after night and pulled Utena into her lap, stroking her hair, soothing away her tears.
And one brilliant night, when Anthy's gentle hands caressed as far down as the jagged, scarred ridges of the other woman's back, Utena didn't gasp, and didn't pull away.
