Stressful few days, especially yesterday XD  Ingrid and Kol helped me a lot last night, thank you very much <3333  An old meme helped pull me out a bit too (though I'm currently in bed, having come home from work early XD was getting dizzy there).   

In this meme, you set your playlist to random (...or mostly random...), and you have to write a drabble for each song that comes up, writing within the amount of time it takes for that song to play (..........mostly).  When I started I didn't think I'd actually be able to do more than one or two, but I got into it and finished all ten <3

Copying Kol, writing notes for each fic and also putting in the song <3333 I'm actually fairly pleased at the selection of songs I ended up with, actually.

SONGFIC MEME


1. Come On In My Kitchen - Crooked Still

My papa's dead, mama's soon to be
I ain't got nobody to love and care for me
You better come on in my kitchen, cause it's going to be raining outdoors


....obviously I went more by the song title than by the lyrics.

Also, every time I write pre-game Vay, it makes me hate myself for hurting him so much.  Sort of. 

2. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns n' Roses

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky


I WAS OPEN-MOUTHED IN HORROR WHEN THIS SONG CAME UP but I actually like the result a fair bit.  I think if I had more time to think about it, using Val for this would never had crossed my mind, but this was a crunch and it worked XD 

3. New York Battle Move - DJ Lobsterdust

Everyone move now, take some action,
Make some action, take some action
Life is short now, that's why we're askin'
Revolution, got to happen


This song is all about SPEED and MOVES.  I don't think I was able to get much snappiness into the actual story, but it's a tidy, quick fight before he has to run like a bitch out of there XD   I'd love to be able to write tight and fast action like that though, so this is something to work on.

4. Infra Red - Placebo

One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance, there’s gonna be an accident


This is intended to be like, three seconds before Metatron is like 'sup bitches'.   As much as Asiel would love to die as a macho action hero (sorry, enjoy your consolation prize?)

5. Say It Right Away - DJ Earworm (Nelly Furtado vs. Madonna vs. The Eggs)

I wasn't really familiar with this song, and so I did a quick lyrics look-up, and found the chorus inspiring:

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
Oh, you've got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean everything to me


which is the see-saw these two are on for like, forever.  Ended up way jambly though, and I didn't intend to go Quinn POV T_T

6. Cry Little Sister - Aiden

A last fire will rise behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear


Dunno just fascinated with the idea of the Fortress burning down, and in head-canon this is the launching point for the all the worst of the future-AU scenarios, particularly Mexico AU. 


7. Jezebel - Iron & Wine

Who's seen Jezebel?
Will the mountain last as long as I can wait
Wait like the dawn
How it aches to meet the day


This is one of my favorites of the set.   It feels the most complete of them all as well.  

8. Happiness in Slavery (remix) - Nine Inch Nails

(Instrumental)

Apparently in the last two fics I just vomited emo.  This is one, and if context helps, this is Warren under the imprisonment of Lumiveri.  I had figured that eventually, she realizes some of the guilt and unresolved shit Warren has surrounding his mother's death, and creates statues in her likeness to drive him insane.  It nearly works.

9. I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You) - John Mayer

No I'm not the man I used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
If my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside


JUST ROLLED WITH THE SONG TITLE ON THIS ONE.   Cause no meme anymore seems complete without unhealthy binging and emotional repression.



10. Greet Death - Explosions in the Sky

(Instrumental)

Emo vomit, though this isn't the first time Mulli has expressed such obvious suicidal leanings.  It just makes her motivation that much black and white, I suppose.

These are stunning. So tight and full of impact. The turning on a dime is very impressive and I love that you touched on some of the characters that you write less - Val and Galen, hurray!

And I think your fight WAS tight and snappy. Very well done.

There are so many things I love about this set. I enjoyed them all, but a few stood out. Infra-red is just a beautiful piece - it captures that oppressive feeling of war very well. Jezebel is just beautiful: such a sensual and rich sort of narrative, full of utterly delicious turns of phrase. (That last line. Guh.) Happiness in Slavery reads like a bit of an old-fashioned and beautifully worked horror story, which you know I'm a sucker for. And I'm getting to where Deon both disgusts and intrigues me. I simultaneously want to punch him and follow him around.
