Another writing meme!

[fickle]

Comment with a fandom or pairing you'd like me to write a drabble about. To give this a bit of a twist, also include a song lyric for inspiration.

For example:

Yami no Bakura/Yami no Malik, "I'm killing time on Valentine/waiting for the day to end/change your taste in men."

or

Animorphs, "I don't wanna say, "diiiie motherfucker!/But I wouldn't mind if you did/Sometimes even the nice girl's ego has to override the id?"

Again, repost only if you want to. ^_~

And a random list of some fandoms I'm into at the moment in alphabetical order: Animorphs, Archie Comics (Nostalgia kick, SHUT UP) Batman/DC, Bruno and Boots, Chrestomanci, Gravitation, Harry Potter, Naruto, Othello (the manga, seriously), Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R (please ask me for fic with Prince Diamond or Prince Sapphire or both, please), Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

Taken from ryuutchi, who is now on my flist!

I know very little of Menolly's canon, but here's my best shot.

She's young. 16. Too young.

River, at least, was nineteen. So was is Sarah (Stephen has to remind himself that Sarah is not just dead just because she is not with him, death is not the only thing that can part lovers).

Menolly's only 16. Three years making all the difference between her, River and Sarah.

Three years and hair as red as the flames of a fireplace in a castle that Stephen never visits. Three years and a love for reptiles that Stephen sees as a mirror of his own love for animals.

Three years -- 156 weeks -- 1095 days -- 26, 280 hours -- 1, 576, 800 minutes -- 93, 608, 000 seconds.

70 heartbeats per second. Just over one beat per minute.

122, 976, 000 heartbeats.

One hundred twenty two million, nine hundred and seventy six thousand heartbeats separate them.

Stephen sits in the dark of the Potions lab and listens to his own heart beating.

Working just from Stephen, it's really beautiful. Really, really, a lot. It's perfect h_h Stephen too and everything that holds him back. And I think it works better than you don't add in anything about her being a Harper, having a career being an adult in the eyes of her own people. Because Stephen viewing everything from his pov, of how long and far away it is, is very much with the angst and the ust and (for me) the whee.

*hugs* Yay and thank you.

Whew! I figured it made more sense to stick to Stephen's viewpoint since he's the char that I know better. XD Nice to know it turned out well enough to please you.
