the song drabble meme
It's pretty simple and fun, folks. This is how this works!
( 01 ) Have a playlist ready! Don't use all your songs--try and narrow it down a little.
( 02 ) Let everyone know how many songs you're working with. Also, which characters you would be willing to write about.
( 03 ) Others tag your post, picking a character or pairing or friendship or familial relationship or whatever, and then choose a number from your list.
( 04 ) Write a drabble related to that song, using that/those character(s)!
Take as long as you need; there's no time limits here!
And here's some helpful HTML to make it pretty!

Butthole Surfers - "Pepper" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7in-hH2q8I
Or at least friends, but pride is a universal concept. Autobot, Decepticon, it doesn't matter what brand you bear, or none at all.
One by one, he'd watched them go, and eventually it had been his turn, waking up here. It made him wonder where the rest of them ended up. Skyfire still carries the memories, Starscream's soft lies and oh- some nights he'd take them again just to be with someone. Or one more night to lie in silence next to Soundwave.
It was something to hold onto.
But here they are, trying to cure some virus together, both glaring over the desk every now and then, wary of each other. All they have is each other when it comes to those from the city.
The shuttle can feel the words rising in the back of his throat like sick, something he'd love to say. Something that would cut deep. He just can't. Swallows it down and Shockwave does the same.
This place is so in love with disaster.
There's a cure to work on and no time for petty squabbles.

Shadow of the Colossus - "In Awe of the Power" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIv29oXTUA8
Thane is glued to Shepard's right side and Garrus to her left. The rest of the crew is segmented off into a few small groups, all converging on a safer location. Somewhere to regroup and reload.
How Zaeed managed to get saddled with sissy-albino-robot-man is a god damned mystery to him. Shepard knew they didn't see eye-to-eye. Maybe that's why she ordered them that way.
"God damn it, I don't need to be babysitting your big white ass! Let me tell you when this is over Shepard's gonna hear-" The mercenary pauses to pop over the wall and shoot a collector who gets too close.
"Hear an earful from me," He finishes his thought before ducking again.
When he hits a comfortable crouch again, he sees the scientist rummaging through a small weapons locker that had been upset, quietly selecting a rifle and loading it. It was like some kind of goddamned joke.
"Do you even know how to use th-" The sound of the shot joins the rest as Skyfire pops up, aims and catches another approaching collector in the knee, a second finishes it off. He's not a great shot, but he does well enough for himself. There's really no time to be smug about it, though it does give Massani pause.
"The hell did you learn to shoot?"
"There was a war," The cybertronian mumbles dryly, "And I'm not offline yet."

Lemon Demon - "Dance like an idiot" oh god... no regret http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMdG9DjAeV8
And hey, this is a pretty catchy song and his work is really moving, slowly but surely he gets more into it. Eventually he's spinning and dancing as he does his extremely dry data entry. It's. Well it's like an awkward kind of train wreck, honestly. But what he lacks in skill and grace he makes up for in enthusiasm.
Though suddenly, he's got the feeling of someone watching him. It's not enough to stop him...
But what is that smell?
It smells like radiation, booze and broken dreams... he spins around to find Thane leaning heavily in his doorway, only slightly drunk. This instantly stops his erratic movement and he stares like a deer in headlights at the drell, who stares back.
A pregnant silence.
"Proceed," Thane's voice scrapes across the music track, slightly slurred.
-----
Shepard doesn't know what the fuck, but it's three in the goddamn morning and there's fucking. MUSIC. She doesn't bother knocking, and she instantly regrets it. An eyeful of her assassin and her fucking scientist dancing like nobody's watching (and really, nobody was until she walked in.)
In that, time literally stops from the sheer force of awkward that descends down upon them.

Alison Krauss - "I'll Fly Away" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRdqp4N3Jw
"No, and that's Skyfire."
"Whatever you say sweetheart."
Skyfire clutches the dashboard as Barricade ferries him through the garden zone. He'll have to make a note to never, ever get wounded again. Having his flight impeded was one thing, but having a limp? No. No, no, no. Especially when he has to be carted around in such an undignified manner. Not that he isn't grateful for the offer, and honestly surprised by it, but he's about to be sick and he's sure neither of them will appreciate that.
"All most there, cupcake. Hold on a little longer an you can purge somewhere that's not my interior."
"Please hurry..."

Reel Big Fish - "Dateless Losers" /sob lmao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIM2AD31dt4
"We should celebrate," Jin states firmly, his gaze not leaving their completed project.
"Yes, definitely."
There's a few moments in which they mull around in silence, thinking of what would be fun. People to hang out with. Places to go.
"So did you want to get started on the next thing down the list?"
"Sure do."

Architecture in Helsinki - "Maybe You Can Owe Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQSDST_5DKg
Perhaps the frustration came from knowing that Shockwave had something he'd tried so hard for. So effortlessly, too. It had never been important before, and now that the chance is gone, he supposes he'll just. Get over it.
He takes them off and thrusts them at Shockwave in one quick movement, he doesn't look. Just.
Like ripping off a band-aid, except the wounds are nowhere near healed. They just need some air, perhaps.
The other scientist looks at the custom blue painted headphones. Neatly put together by scraps. They'd belonged to him. Skyfire had made them for him.
Shockwave opens his mouth to speak. Ask him why, or maybe say something inevitably blunt. Skyfire stops him, raising his hand quickly so he can turn and walk away.

...YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE THEM ALL, of course. D:
Absurdb Minds - "Brainwash V.2" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL1nsUGedhM
"Goddamned fucking. Unitologists..." Even if some of them has been okay. The goddamned church and government. It makes him want to throw up just thinking about it. He can't even really bring himself to think straight. Skyfire just happened to be there when he finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
He doesn't even care when he feels the shuttle embrace him gently.
"They just- fucking Noah-"
"Religion is a dangerous game for many. Those who have the best intentions and those who use it for personal gain. The idea of it is... is good, but it is rarely practiced as such," Skyfire speaks slowly to him, tightening his grip, "It pains me to know that they neigh control your world. But these things... they all fall eventually. One way or another, you'll be avenged."
Bjork - "Violently Happy" lmao oh god http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsDvQpItPck&feature=fvst
The box is too small.
"But I at least left you a present. Go on. It's stuck in the door. See how nice I am? You've always been my favorite, Charlie. Or should I say Skyfire? You dirty little liar. No wonder nobody loves you."
He has to strain and twist, reaching for the little scrap of paper stuck in the door of the box. That's when he feels it. It's alarmingly cold, and as it fills it makes his skin hurt.
Freezing water. Slowly filling.
His breathing picks up.
Not again.
"Something the matter, old chum? Thought you might like a little swim."
"Fuck you!"
"My, my. Such language. You really are becoming a scummy human, aren't you? What would they think if they heard that from you? You're so clean. I bet you wanted to be clean for Soundwave, didn't you? You could have just slid in there and snatched him up from your rival. You'd have been justified, you know. Why, speaking of which, you' had better look at your present before it's too late."
He finally manages to reach the paper as the water creeps up his waist, and his legs are numb from the cold. His chest heaves with panic as he unfolds it. A simple photo of Soundwave. Turning it over reveals Starscream on the back. The bitterness stings worse than the icy water that's now reached his chest, but he clings to it. It's all he has. As he takes one last breath, the water fills the chamber, and everything is a blur of fear.
Again.
It's happening again.
Eventually his lungs give way and he inhales the stinging, cold water. It's unimaginable pain, but his body won't let him die. It's just the pain. Pain and fear. He's going to be trapped in this freezing prison.
Across the Universe - "Because" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMniylSi0nI
Thane is lithe, neigh weightless in his arms and if he didn't squirm occasionally, Skyfire might forget he's carrying him as they slide across the desert zone. Just something for the drell mostly, though he prefers the warm climate himself as well. Thane is silent for the most part, or maybe Skyfire just doesn't hear him over the air rushing by.
Who knows, maybe this method of travels is awkward for him. For many people it is a bit strange to be carted around in the arms of a large albino man.
When they finally reach a rocky outcropping with high, sandblasted cliffs, Skyfire lets Thane slip down onto his feet before landing next to him.
Nothing is actually said as they look out across the vast desert. Something about the long stretches of flatness is comforting. Room to fly and to simply exist. He squints his eyes and it seems real.
There is nothing bad in this place. Just sand and the imitation sky.
That's good enough.
Across the Universe - "It won't be long" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rGAdjLQU8Y
"Hey."
"Yes?"
"Hey."
"Yes."
"Hey."
"What?"
"What'cha thinkin' about?"
Thane holds in a sigh, if only because her wry smile speaks to the fact that she knows exactly how irritating she's being.
"Just drell stuff," He answers dryly with a hint of a smirk.
"Oh. That's cool. So hey I think we should like. Date."
"I'll have to give it some thought, Karrie. I told you before. Just give me some time."
"Okay yeah that's cool."
A pause. A saucy grin stretches her features.
"Soon."
Thane's lips draw a tight line.
Concerning.
Aha - "Lamb to the Slaughter" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc-U0ha80ak
As they walk down the fucking pristine garden zone, it seems so out of place for both of them. Has Isaac and Altman been here, they'd just be a damn set, wouldn't they?
The feeling that all of them. All of them had been played like fiddles is more than a little discouraging. The level of manipulation is appalling.
"I should have seen it coming," Vandal says as he avoids eye contact, "They used every single fucking one of us. It never felt right. I should have just refused."
"If not you, then some other sucker," Alejandro utters bitterly as they look at a blooming tree.
"Don't you think it's ironic?"
"I think a lot of things are fucking ironic. And I hate irony."
"Well I mean... getting stuck here? This was our only way out."

Skyfire & Nemvoy - 3507.
ps we need more cr y/n/how want do?Mind.in.a.box - "What used to be" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMYyIE0cmVc
"The fate of this species?"
"Regrettably..."
"Destruction."
It hurts to hear it out loud, but they both know all signs point to it. Their planet is destroyed, there is no hope for recovery. Everyone is scattered.
This realization is what stretches across faction, across belief, it is the same to all of them. The loss of their place in the universe.
They have all doomed themselves.
"When this body dreams for me, it thinks of that place. Time."
Nemesis can't say much more, he just gives a slight hum in response and shifts with a creak of metal.
[Oh god I don't know how to write Nem at all lmao ;A; /fails. Also yes god yes more CR.]
