DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.

-- Shuffle Challenge: Sweeney Todd --

Rules:
1. Pick a character, fandom, pairing, friendship, whatever.
2. Put iTunes or your music program on shuffle and start playing songs.
3. For each song, write something inspired by the song related to the theme you chose earlier. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.
4. Do this for ten songs.

I'm going with "general fandom" for the theme. Author's notes in [brackets]

- Three Days Grace, "Animal I Have Become" -

Covered in blood, crooning "precious rubies" to his only friends - his razors.

Benjamin Barker wouldn't have recognized the monster that his old self had become.

But Benjamin Barker was dead. There was only Sweeney Todd now.

Mrs. Lovett did nothing to change this notion. She simply played along with his declaration that his old self no longer existed...

So what if you can see the darkest side of me? Nobody can change this animal I have become.

- Megadeth, "Vortex (Alternate Version)" -

Revenge is a downward spiral, like the helix of DNA, two parallel stands, spiraling downward to thier mutual doom...

Sweeney Todd killed Judge Turpin in the end, but dragged himself down to Hell in the process.

- Megadeth, "Symphony of Destruction (Demo Version)" -

THEY ALL DESERVE TO DIE!!

~slice~

Repeat. Endlessly.

[I don't know why my shuffle likes Megadeth so much. I didn't know I had a demo version of a song that I already have the album version. I need to go through everything and delete some shit.]

- From Autumn to Ashes, "Take Her To The Music Store" -

"Mrs. Lovett, your songs suck! Let's go buy you some new ones! At the music store!"

[When I saw this song title come up, I almost shat myself.]

- Fear Factory, "2 Late" -

She knew she should have...

... but by then it was already too late.

[This was like, a trance/techno song, which is a major departure from the band's normal (metal) sound. Something about the way the song sounded made me want to keep this short and vague]

- Fear Factory, "Big God- Raped Souls" -

Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd had, of course, never been physically molested by Judge Turpin - not like Lucy and Johanna.

Yet still, somehow just being in in the judge's presence made them feel dirty... as if their souls had been raped.

[A more perfect song for Turpin could not have popped up. I lol'd]

- Shadows Fall, "Final Call" -

"Nothing's going to harm you, not while I'm around," she sang into the slimy sewer corridors. "Nothing's going to harm you, Toby, not while I'm around."

She sang, as they were coming to kill him.

"Toby!" Sweeney called out.

The boy might have been tempted if not for the barber being there.

- Rammstein, "Engel" -

God knows I don't want to be an angel.

"Hell is a lot more RED than I thought it would be," Mrs. Lovett commented. "Right, Mr. T?"

"Shut up, before I kill you again."

"You can't kill the dead."

"I bet I can. This IS Hell, after all. I'm sure you can die... everyone here deserves it after all..."

- From Autumn to Ashes, "Pioneers" -

After killing the beadle and the judge, they ran away in the middle of the night, boarded a ship to America, and became pioneers...

[standard alternate ending. The song itself is pure annoying noise. I think I hate this band, and will delete all their songs from my media library.]

- Madonna f/ Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, "4 Minutes" -

Pirelli was DAMN annoying.

Sweeney barely had enough time to stuff the idiot's body in the trunk before the SECOND most annoying person London burst into the room babling about a tailor's appointment...

A/N: This is harder to do than it might sound... Reviews would be nice.
