A/N: I've seen tons of these floating around the PJO fandom, as well as others, so I decided to try it.
The way it works:
Put your ipod on shuffle. You must write one drabble for any number of songs (you choose, five, ten, etc). The drabble can be about anything, but it works best if it's about a pairing. You have ONLY until the song is over to write, and there is no skipping songs. The drabble can either be connected to the song in some way, or simply inspired by any part of it. Put the title of the song and the artist above each drabble, as well as the pairing name if it applies.
My Friends from "Sweeney Todd"
Thuke
In the depths of Hades, on the painful wait to reincarnation, only one person crossed Luke's mind.
A friend and an equal, Thalia was one of few. Of course, they were worlds apart. They were chained to separate corners of the world; barricaded by godly traditions.
He wanted to feel her in his hands, to know her like he used to. As irony might have it, it was only once he was dead that he truly realized the warmth of her company.
He died a hero, perhaps, but it did not soothe the loneliness.
Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade
Perachel
With Rachel, Percy felt as if he were in another world. She was a dream; she was an unprecedented event.
Even though he knew it wouldn't last, and that it wasn't meant to be, she was an experience he never would have wanted to miss.
She taught him the basics of dating and the like, and it gave Percy inches more in confidence. With Rachel, Percy felt a little more like he thought he should. He was not a half blood, he was not a disaster; he was your average teen, having his first dunk in the wading pool that is romance.
They kissed, and he tasted lip-gloss. They hugged, and he felt like he thought he might be supposed to. She was not a fate or a forever, but she was something he could easily escape to. He wouldn't forget her, he knew.
The Abduction Ballet from "The Fantasticks"
ZeusHera
They sat upon Olympus, watching the Revolutionary War with some amusement. Mortals could be oddly minded.
Screams and shouts, the sound of rifles. It was all so very trivial to the gods.
Hera turned to her husband, smiling. "Are you having fun?"
Zeus shrugged. "I've seen better."
"Me too." For all of their differences, Hera and Zeus had similar preferences for entertainment.
Suffocation by Allister
No pairing
They'd keep fighting. Until the last kin of the gods was lost, they would fight. They would play the parts from the gods' set stage.
They were all connected, as Luke had once said. They were extended family. They'd fight, for each other if not for themselves.
Words and lives flashed through deaf eardrums. It would end, maybe that very night.
They wouldn't answer to the insecurities, they would only keep fighting. It was the true sentiment of desperation that the demigods finally felt. This was personal, and they had to win it.
Come On by Josie and the Pussycats
BeckendorfSilena
She was not the relationship type. She was a daughter of Aphrodite, obviously more built for dates and make-out parties.
Somehow though, this was different. They'd jumped the line from friend to more-than during a party. The music blared, the lights flashed. And somehow the combination of the adrenaline and the punch had led to their lips connecting on the dance floor.
Beckendorf had never been in a relationship. He wasn't used to the idea, despite his teenage age. However, Silena's smile and fascinating ambiguity succeeded in catching him at the knees.
Somewhere among the noisy celebration, they broke their own boundaries. They found each other as more than friends, and it was all in one moment.
A/N: Just so you know, I'm going to be updating this fairly sporadically. Whenever I get an interest in writing song-inspired stuff, I'll add more drabbles. It's not going to be continually updated though.
