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.

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

I'm testing my ability to be semi non-epic! Maybe? Oh don't ask me. I'm just all over the place and I thought writing might focus me. Tiny writing. You're asking me to make sense? You know me too well for that!

[adrenalin211.livejournal.com]

Weren't the other ones non-epic?

I promise to come back to this. Muah.

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

STOP BEING ANNOYING AND LOGICAL AND POINTING OUT MY NUMEROUS FAILINGS, DAMMIT!!!

*runs away pouting*

[adrenalin211.livejournal.com]

Don't run away! I just remember liking my old prompt!

LOoooooooove youuu.

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

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Cinnaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That's so cheating! LOLOLOLOL.

Okay but I can try for a challenge;)

Sweeney Todd really? :-P

The keyboard is a gentle breeze...

bwahahahahahahaha. Cerulean blue. Cerulean blue. Cerulean blue.

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).

[roseandheather.livejournal.com]

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)

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Something is wrong with me. I choked up just reading that. No joke.

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Silly girl! You gotta read the directions;)

It's not my fault my brain only works one way right now!

[roseandheather.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Uh, I knew that. I meant Ethan/Allison, seriously, because I do not associate that song with L/H at all. Except apparently my brain reads all het pairings as "Lynley/Havers" these days. *headdesk*

The bonus one, though, was L/H, should you like to give it a try. Not that I'm begging, or anything.

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Ethan/Allison I can do;) Hehe! Your Havers love is adorbs.

[roseandheather.livejournal.com]

Hehe, your Havers love is adorbs.
I have an icon for that!

One of these days, I might get over my Barbara obsession.

When that day comes, shoot me.

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

It could be worse. I could have done my cracky J/R version of "I'll never tell" and you'd be tearing up for a totally different reason.

[sardonicynic]

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

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

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Wait you mean I can write BOTH of these as Jack/Renee if I want?

*squeaks*

*giggles at thought of me writing Jack/Audrey*

Although honestly, I could write something where they're all angsty and emo and broken up, if that's your cuppa tea.

Hmmm. I used to have a Jack/Audrey icon.

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

*dies*

Okay you win. That would have been so much worse. But what you get is gonna be cracky in anyway;) Sort of.

Why do I not have a non-funny Larry icon?

[marinw.livejournal.com]

I used to consider "Lights in the sky" a definitive Day 6 Jack/Audrey song, but the more I look at the lyrics, the more they suite Jack/Renee early Day 8.

I could write something where they're all angsty and emo and broken up

Does Jack have any OTHER kind of relationship, at least in the canon?

[cybertoothtiger.livejournal.com]

Snerk.

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

*skips away laughing*

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

AUGH. I love it. *snuggles prompt*

Dude I cannot wait to read your response to my prompt. I'm thinking of another one right now:-D

[leigh57.livejournal.com]

Does Jack have any OTHER kind of relationship, at least in the canon?

Well he never actually broke up with Renee;)

*ducks*

Okay he never actually broke up with Audrey either. He just needs to become a monk.
