Not that anybody should believe me even a little...

Shamelessly adapted from sardonicynic's recent post:

Pick a character or pairing from 24 (sorry to be so specific, but it's where my brain is right now), give me some a song lyric, and I will attempt at least 100 words of fic for you.

I know. I didn't write any of them last time. So I understand if you're all just like, PFT. However, my brain is in this mood where it just can't settle down, and I'd really like to find out if I'm capable of writing anything that doesn't turn into a thousand words minimum. I'm teaching all week, so I can mess with these at work, too:)

I think I'll cap it at 12 though, because even that's probably ambitious, given my recent success with prompts.

Crystal, I'm so excited to prompt you I'm squeaking;)

I want you to write the OTHER prompts. But I'll come back to this later on tonight, bb.

24, Jack/Renee, there's no place like London! (from http://www.allmusicals.com/lyrics/sweeneytodd/noplacelikelondon.htm) XD

Okay gonna change it up a bit and recycle a prompt I gave you ages ago, but give it to someone else:

Larry/Renee, I never wanted to fit in any place except your heart (archie star, apologies on napkins).

Lynley/Havers

After all the stops and starts, we keep coming back to these two hearts, two angels who've been rescued from the fall; and after all that we've been through, it all comes down to me and you, I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all. (Peter Cetera and Cher, After All)

YOU KNEW YOU WOULD SEE THIS HERE, DON'T EVEN PRETEND OTHERWISE.

Bonus song line, should the muse strike you:

Who'd ya think you're kidding? He's the earth and heaven to ya! Try to keep it hidden - honey, we can see right through ya! (Susan Egan, (I Won't Say) I'm In Love from Hercules)

I'm NEVER gonna see my Logan/Taylor ficlet, am I?

Anyway, this is for Jack and Renee:

"Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you
If there's no one there, then there's no one there, but at least the war is over
It's us - yes, we're back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end
And if the night comes, and the night will come, well at least the war is over

Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen! The birds sing! Listen! The bells ring!
All the living are dead, and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning..."

"Up in our bedroom after the war" by The Stars


If you want to *cough* challenge yourself with some Jack/Audrey: *coughs more*

ETA: If you can make this work for Jack/Renee, then you can go for that instead.

"She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things
I used to do
Believe in you
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Have finally arrived
I am staying right beside you

I tried to stay away
You know
Just in case
I've come to realize
We all have our place
Time has a way you know
To make it clear
I have my role in this
I can't disappear
Or leave you here"

"Lights In The Sky" by Nine Inch Nails

Jack/Renee : I would've carried your heart, but it's covered in holes

(And ahaha, I am super-excited to tackle your request!)

Snerk.

Jack/Renee, Adam Lambert: "What do you want from me?"

Challengers, by The New Pornographers

On the walls of the day
In the shade of the sun, we wrote down
Another vision of us
We were the challengers of the unknown

Sending you the song now.

They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be."

“Like I expected.” He shakes his head, grinning. “They were pissed about the car.”

Heehee. I've always wondered about CTU car insurance.

This was great. London is safe. Nothing EVER terror-like happens there.Bwahahah

Sequel?

I don't know if you are still playing this game, but how about a little Warren Zevon - "Werewolves of London,"

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada.

Just cause I wanna know what J/R have planned for halloween, and found it kind of funny that the only song that I could think of that could have anything to do with halloween had London in the title. :)

Or if you prefer, seeing as everyone else is keeping it classy and PG, how about a little of The Pipettes - "Dirty Mind"

There she goes with a twinkle in her eye
Don't take a genius to understand the reason why

I...uh..wouldn't want you to get rusty. LOL

On a side note: I feel kinda like a creeper reading someone's journal.
