A/N: I read about this 'game' on another story called Snapshots of Sherlock by Pickwick12. You put your music player on shuffle, pick a fandom, then write a drabble (for me, 100-110 words) about it.

These were inspired by Snapshots of Sherlock and another fantastic story called Ten Thousand Times of Living by Watchermine. I tried to write about all the main characters and there are spoilers, especially for Season 2 starting in chapter 2. Some are better than others, and some days were more productive than others.

Finally, these are organized by the date I wrote them and each drabble will have the song title, artist, recording time, and whose POV it's from. Before my note becomes longer than the actual stories... Enjoy!

When the Lights Go Down by Faith Hill, 4:05 (Sherlock)

He traces his initials in the thick layer of dust covering the small, slender box. His arm aches just looking at it. He knows it would be ridiculously easy to contact his old dealer, gather the funds, then lie on the couch and feel the cocaine thrumming out to his fingertips. But he won't. Because John wouldn't like it.

He shouldn't care what John thinks, he knows that, but for some inexplicable, totally unexplainable reason, he does. Perhaps with the cocaine he could figure it out, but then he would disappoint John. And he can't bear to see the inevitable hurt that would bloom in his understanding eyes.

If We Were a Movie by Hannah Montana, 2:58 (John)

Sometimes, John feels like he's living on a film screen. Consulting detectives—which still sounds like a made-up profession—murderous cabbies, Chinese smugglers, psychopaths and sociopaths and completely wrong paths. He's not really sure how Sherlock fits into the script, because he's brilliant and insane and heroic, even though he claims he's not. And he's totally unsure of how he himself fits into the picture, because there's nothing special about him. Sherlock may not agree (always), but he doesn't really mind. He keeps Sherlock sane and as close to normal as that man will ever be, and that's a good enough role for him.
