A/N: This is all Master Okami's fault. She recommended that I post these up here. I warn you, they're pretty rough. Unfortunatly, I don't remember where I found these directions, but I think they're pretty common. As a note, I always do 15 of these, cause I like doing there so much! The longer I do these, the better they get (at least I think so.... you can disagree if you want)


Writing: Put your entire music collection on shuffle, hit play, and write. Write for as long as each song plays and move on to a different writing when the song switches(even if it's mid-sentence). Go for ten songs(or five). If nothing comes, it still counts. If you're listening to a comedian, you can skip it.

Violet by Birthday Massacre

Chromia watched the performance of the dancers featured in the Iacon hall, wishing she didn't have to be there by herself. At times she really hated the fact that Ironhide was the one that trained

Hanging By a Moment by Lifehouse

Springer stood outside Arcee's quarters. He wanted to go in the room and tell her exactly how he felt about her but for the first time in his existence he was honest to Primus afraid. He'd faced down lines of Decepticons, certain death, but the idea having actually having to admit to her (and himself) that he'd fallen completely in love with her was something far more terrifying. He knew she would smile when he went in, but would she still smile when he finished speaking?

No Matter What off of Yu-Gi-Oh!

He used to be one of their friends, one of their best friends in the world, but he'd turned his back on them. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe actually hesitated the first time they met him in battle. Despite his choice they couldn't blame him for the side he chose, even if it meant that they could never be the friends they had been back in the academy. Sometimes though in battle, he would be the one who hesitated or would say something the referenced to a joke back in the day and they hoped.

St. Theresa by Joan Osborne

Prowl never forgot the time he saw the femme standing on the corner if Kaon, back before the war. He knew what she was doing, she didn't make it a secret, and she even made a remark to him as he went past.

"I should arrest you for what you're doing out here." He warned.

She smiled at him sadly. "Yes, I guess you should. But ask yourself: if you didn't have the luck of making it like you did, how would you make it from one day to the next?"

Her words silenced him, and he left her there. He spent the next several cycles contemplating her words and wondered what he would do.

He never saw her down there again, and over the years he wondered, on occasion what had ever happened to her.

Good Night by Klaus Badelt

Ironhide looked out the view port watching the stars as they past by. Even though his optics were on-line, he didn't see them. In his processor's optic, he saw the beautiful blue of Chromia's armor, the glitter of her optics. It had been too long since he'd seen her, and ever breem he was away from her, he feared he would forget her voice, her touch, her smile. The idea of losing those things scared him more than any Decepticon.

The Athlete's Rag by Piano Squall

Prowl held his helm in his hands and groaned, fighting to keep his battle computer from crashing. Over the comm, he could only hear the Twins whooping, yelling and laughing to music from video games.

Ninja Tattoo by Shanadoo

Sideswipe grinned and leaned closer to the femme sitting across the bar from him. She laughed shyly as he topped off her cube of High Grade. Sunny would kill him later, he would bet his entire videogame collection on it, but for slag's sake, the femme could have floored Soundwave with her looks. Yes, he knew Sunny was trying to pick the femme up, but it wasn't his fault he'd gotten a bad duty pull

Cereal Boxes (Lady in the Water) by James Newton Howard

Ghost of Reach (Halo 2) by Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori

He'd never seen anything so beautiful. The gas clouds of the plant swirled in a pattern of unrivaled gloriousness. Too bad he was about to deploy and would be partaking in its general destruction. Oh well, the universe had plenty of beauty

The Power of Love from the American Sailor Moon

"There is no way in the Pit I'm going in there." Ironhide stated, leaving no room for discussion.

"You're going in there or I'm telling Chromia you were too scared to go into a shopping mall." Ratchet growled back, giving the larger mech a shove towards the massive building.

"I hate you, I hope to Primus you realize that."

"Yeah, yeah, now get in there!"

Two of a Kind Working on A Full House by Garth Brooks

"I'm totally telling." Sideswipe giggled evilly.

"And I'm going to totally kill you if you do." Sunstreaker growled quietly back.

"You. Did. Moonracer." Bluestreak goggled from behind the red twin.

"If you don't shut up I'm going to gut you both."

Torn Apart by Stabbing Westward

The Wreckers dove into the battlefield, but one led the charge screaming unintelligibly in his own private rage and pain. Springer made a processor note to try and talk to Sandstorm, but he honestly felt that maybe this battle was far more therapeutic than a talking to. The orange triplechanger wouldn't stop when he reached the Decepticon soldier. Even when the enemy mech stopped moving, Sandstorm didn't stop hammering on the denting metal.

Go! by Flow

Jazz loved Earth. It was a well-known fact that no one disputed. He loved the music most of all and had picked up a habit of creating play lists for the battles they were going into. He always had a general fighting list, but if he knew whom they were going against, it was even better because he could customize it. He also had a habit of figuring out what Decepticon group hated what genre of music and made sure the list consisted of nothing but. This became a problem however when even the Autobots hated the choice genre. On the bright side, it became motivation in itself to win.

Finish the Fight by Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori

"Why do you fight?" The femme's voice came across calm and emotionless.

"I fight for those that need me." Optimus answered. He looked back to see Elita One standing in the doorway.

"Then fight well."

"I do. I fight for you." With that he walked out.
