[Misc.] Song Drabble Challenge

1. Choose five different fandoms.
2. Play your iTunes in shuffle. Note down the next five songs that come up.
3. Write a drabble for each fandom, using the respective song as a prompt.

A/N: I've never tried drabbles before - those tiny little fanfics that are 100 words exactly. So I thought this looked fun. :3 Please note, the song lyrics that preface all of the drabbles (for the songs that have lyrics, anyway) are not part of the word count.


Fandom: Yosuke Sakanoue
Song: 'Mr Tambourine Man' by Bob Dylan

'Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you

The man is smiling. He has cigarettes. Yosuke doesn't have enough English to ask for one, so he gestures. They smoke in silence.
"You from China?" The man asks.
He thinks. "Japan."
"You play?" The man points at the guitar-case spread out on the pavement. There are a few quarters, nothing more – the guitar itself is rested on Yosuke's knees.
"...Yes." He hesitates. "I am...Yosuke Sakanoue. From Tokyo."
"How about you play a song, Yosuke Sakanoue from Tokyo?"
The American has to repeat himself until Yosuke understands. He smiles. "What...is. The song you want. The song you want, what is it?"



Fandom: Professor Layton Series
Song: 'Elephant' by bôa

I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna travel, I'm gonna see my way through and
You can follow, we can go together, trunk in hand we're gonna go
Isn't it touching, the way the leaves hold the leaves into the sky
And when the breeze blows all you can see is the green and gold...

Luke loves trains. The trees speed past in a frenetic blur, and Luke watches them in fascination.
"It's so fast, Professor!"
The woman with the cart clucks at him fondly when she trundles past. "Boys, eh? I bet you were glad when you had your little girl."
Flora flinches, expecting him to say 'she's not mine' or 'I'm just her guardian'. Layton merely smiles and says nothing. Right now, she may as well be his. Luke, too. Travelling together like this, they feel like family.
Speaking of which…
"Luke, Flora. If a family has five children, and all are boys..."




Fandom: ProjectZERO
Song: 'silences' by the band apart

Clock breaks down, and there's no clue
No one ever shows there are just feelings
See someone smirking into the ground below

She plummets.
She relives every second of the last seconds of her life, that jarring feeling when her neck snaps and her head crushes uselessly against the back of her shoulderblades. She screams her last scream. She smiles as the ground rushes towards her, full of the hope that this will be liberation, this will be freedom.
This is none of those things.
It's ironic, though, being forced to relive the moments when you believed that death would solve everything. When you welcomed the fall. Welcomed the pain.
Who knew it would end like this?
Not that it ever ended.



Fandom: Harvest Moon
Song: 'The Legendary Theme (Acoustic ver.)' by C.O.I.L

As this song has no lyrics, the drabble is more inspired by the context in which it appears in the game 'Gitaroo Man'.

They always met in the vineyard. Ann was happy to oblige; she liked Cliff.
She liked the vineyard.
She liked the way Manna fussed over her, asked after her father, commented on stocking wine for the inn.
She liked how Duke told her how pretty she was getting.
More than any of that, she liked lying against Cliff while the autumn sunshine filtered through the trellis. He’d tell her about things he’d seen over the world, and the food he'd tried there.
Most of all, she liked the line that always came at the end – 'but your cooking is better'.



Fandom: Persona 3
Song: '日曜日' by 月子天野
Warning: VERY vague hints at spoilers.

悪戯な会話と
重なりあう影法師
このまま このまま 路地裏で迷子になって帰れなくていいよ

"Dude, it's Sunday."
"So?"
"So...Let's go to Tartarus tonight. I'm gonna be out for a while today, but I'll be back in time."
"Oh?"
"I'm going out with Ryoji."
"How come?"
"I wanna set him up with some chick who works at Hagakure. It kinda gets to him sometimes, y'know, that I’ve got...not that Chidori is...at least, I think...Aw, man, you know what I mean."
"Riiight..."
"So lunch with Ryoji, then beating up Shadows! Awesome Sunday, right?"
"Sure."
"You know, you’re pretty weird. Sometimes it feels like you just...get your responses out of a handbook, or somethin'."
"You're overanalyzing, Junpei."
