1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the timeframe of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards! [I confess: inveterate beta that I am, I did go back and edit a bit--but I did not write more! I swear! I only fixed typos and so on.]
4. Do 10 of these, then post them.
Warning: End of manga spoilers below.

8. You Found Me, The Fray
She came through the well.
She came through the well.
Years of waiting, trying, failing. Where had she been? Why had she stayed away so long? What had happened in that time?
"Where were you?" spilled from his lips, harsh as a stiff drink.
"What happened?"
"What took you so long?"
He'd been lost, adrift, alone without her.
She'd promised to stay by him, forever. She'd broken that promise. How could he forgive her for that? So many years, with no contact whatsoever…Cold, unforgiving, lonely years. The worse for having known her, and lost her.
He growled, even has he crushed her to him, a single tear breaking free of his will to keep it to himself.
"Why'd you have to wait?"

A/N: "You Found Me" is one of the few songs on the radio that's played very often that I never can grow to hate. Consequently, I know it very, very well. And I could hardly resist taking lines from the song and sticking them in this as I wrote...I think that greater knowledge of the song also helped me write this, as I had a very good idea how much time I had, and could manage myself better (time-management in 3 minutes? What? I know, weird, but your brain speeds up or something if you do these enough). I also like to think of this as an unintentional companion piece to ch7. I happen to like it very much. I hope you all do too! Reviews are always appreciated.
