Ahem: a collection of stories for my little sister's birthday. I shall put my music library on shuffle and pair her top 10 ships with the first 10 songs. Each ship gets a story related to the song with decreasing times: ship #1 gets 10 min., ship #2 gets 9 min., ship #3 gets 8 min., etc. So ship #10 is a hot mess 1 min. panic attack.

You don't HAVE to listen to the song first...but you might want to. And author's notes are bolded.

5. HermionexRon (Harry Potter) – "Arabian Nights" from Aladdin - 6 min. timer

What...just what...I've got nothing, I've got absolutely nothing.

He had never been very good at magic in general. That wasn't true, he was average, but she was...something else.

And now, because they were in danger, because they had to flee, now they were in some strange, exotic country that she had said the name of, and he had promptly forgotten.

The name was irrelevant because there was only one thing memorable about the place – it was hot.

"Hermione…" he moaned, dragging the end of her name around the colorful tent she had placed them in. "It's hot."

She removed her jacket...then shirt...and he wondered if the little thin, sweat-soaked camisole was going to come off too when she snapped-

"Yes, it is, Ronald, but they're not going to find us here." She sighed. "It's just as hot at night too, and Harry won't be finished till at least tomorrow."

He almost told her that she could probably do some kind of air conditioning spell, but the sweat dripping down her neck and disappearing between her breasts was enough to make him want to endure the heat.

Till at least tomorrow…

He removed his shirt too, and he saw her gulp.

"What are you doing?"

"It's hot," was all he replied.

And he would not utter the next line that came to his mind, and then, suddenly, it was out.

"-we could make it hotter."

This ended too soon. I wanted to write out the whole scene XD Dang, these timers are getting too short!
