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!

take your time, snugdoug.
KARKAT AND CAMILLE 55
he hoped to be remembered as the one
who told his men to turn back and go where we'd begun
Blame is a funny thing. Camille had considered it a stupid emotion before Zayid. Shit happened; wasn't that just the way of things? She had met people who blamed themselves for this and that, and her advice had always been to just drink some tea and get over it. The look on Violin's face when she thought about Tavin just didn't make much sense to her.
Then, Zayid. And, well. Blame is funny. Violin's the exorcist; she knew best about oni-agnan, about how there was nothing you could do to prevent someone from turning into one. Yet after that, Camille couldn't help herself.
She'd been a fair bit more sympathetic these days.
Karkat came to her after it was all over, tapping on the door, looking more exhausted and subdued than usual. Oh, Karkat. He was too young to put all that blame on his shoulders, and yet from the look of him now, he was still doing it. At this point she was pretty sure that was just part of who he was.
She smiled and let him in, of course. He didn't say anything; he didn't need to, though he was immediately looking grim and cranky as soon as he knew she was looking at him. She already had a plate of cookies and a cup of hot chocolate ready for him.
"How are you, Karkat?" she asked, because she couldn't help that either. The horror and tragedy was over; it was time to get back to teasing him.
"How the fuck do you think?" was the growly response.
She chuckled a little and set the cookies and cocoa before him. Things would get back to normal, even if it took awhile.
1/2 KARKAT AND GAMZEE 37 jesus christ this drabble
to make you smile
i'd like to be there for you
For some reason lately it was starting to bother him that Karkat was so cranky all the time.
Okay well no, it wasn't so much the crankiness in and of itself because, really, that's just Karkat. No, it was more the fact that Gamzee was pretty sure he had never seen Karkat smile.
Seriously, what the fuck. That was a miracle in and of itself, and not the good kind. That just would not all motherfucking do is what. What if Karkat just hadn't been happy all this time? Oh god, that was just too tragic to even get a motherfucker's think pan all toward.
Clearly, this all needed to be remedied.
Today it was raining over the hive, or at least it kept trying to. There would be spots of rain followed by bright blasts of glorious sunshine, and my god, Gamzee never stopped being glad that the sunshine here didn't hurt. It was nice, actually; his sleep schedule was fucked up beyond all repair at this point since he spent as much time in the daylight as he did in darkness. Look, it's even a metaphor.
But anyway, it was essentially the most perfect weather ever, and it meant that Gamzee had a mission. That mission was to find Karkat and drag him up to the roof. Finding Karkat was no problem, since Gamzee just had to follow the sounds of grumbling and yelling. Then it was just a matter of grabbing the smaller troll and steering him toward the stairs.
"You don't all motherfucking understand, best friend, this is all being the best motherfucking weather!" Gamzee said, grinning ear to ear as he hauled Karkat along.
"GAMZEE WHAT THE FUCK, THERE IS NO CONCEIVABLE WAY THAT THIS WEATHER COULD BE CONSTRUED AS ANYTHING THAT EVEN GRAZES THE RIM OF THE WORD 'BEST'. SIT IN THE RAIN BY YOURSELF, YOU DUMB FUCK!"
Gamzee just laughed. Even Karkat himself would not stop the Make Karkat Happy Mission!
Finally they made it to the roof, despite Karkat yelling and digging his heel in and essentially falling down the stairs one time. It's drizzling, the rain making all of the colors pop and explode in Gamzee's eyes. Wouldn't it be nice if the others could see the world like this all the time?
2/2 KARKAT AND GAMZEE, 37, oh god it burns
"Just all chill and wait and see, bro!" Gamzee said, looking toward where the sun was already peeking out of a corner of the sky. Look at that sneaky little sun, popping in and out like some bright, fuzzy creature looking for the best way to leave its den.
"This is the stupidest thing you've ever done. Congratulations, Gamzee, we'll present you with the trophy for stupidest fucking thing Gamzee has ever done later when it's not BLEEDING HORRIBLE COLD SHIT FROM THE SKY'S NOOK."
"Oh shit, I get a trophy?" Gamzee was distracted by the prospect of winning things by the sun finally exploding from the gray cloud cover. "Fuuuuck! Yeah, look, bro, look!"
He pointed in the opposite direction and Karkat, to his merit, actually turned to look.
It started small, just a sort of hazy gray outline, shimmering through the rain. Then it took on definition. Blue, red, yellow. Orange, green, purple. Indigo. To Gamzee there were about five other colors there, because you can't have a proper rainbow without including all your friends, right? It hung in the air, its colors brightening, the bow stretching until it was a full rainbow all the way across the sky. Not a double rainbow because then Gamzee's head would explode.
"Fuuuck..." Gamzee breathed reverently. "It's so all motherfucking beautiful..."
"It's stupid and you're stupid for making me see it," Karkat growled.
"No, fuck bro, look! Look, see there's Aradia, and Tavros, and Sollux, and Nepeta, and Kanaya, and Terezi, and Vriska, and Equius, and me, and Eridan and Feferi! And I guess you're on there too somewhere. No, wait, you're like, fuck, you're the whole fucking thing bro!" Gamzee waved his hands to encompass the whole fucking thing. "Cause you're all being the leader and shit, like all holding us motherfuckers together."
"Shut up, Gamzee..."
Gamzee turned back to tell Karkat to really look at this beautiful miracle, dammit cause oh my God look at it it's a rainbow--but then he stops. Because was that a teeny tiny smile he saw on Karkat's face for a second there?
Mission. Accomplished.
Gamzee grins again.
"Haha, no fucking way, best friend. No fucking way."

JIN AND LADON, 114, seriously itunes?
sad boy, you stare up at the sky
when no one's looking back at you
All of this had answered the question of whether dragons in other universes would treat Jin the same as the ones in his own universe. Jin had been wondering it before Ladon had shown up. Conrit didn't really count, or at least Jin told himself he didn't. He was a hatchling, not even fledged yet. They were all innocence then, big eyes and belief in ideals. A sun dragon hatchling would have seen Jin's mind but still wouldn't have understood all the dark details. This was part of the reason the Sol dragons had explicitly told Jin that they would kill him if he ever got too close to a hatchling. Because they wouldn't understand. Just as Conrit hadn't understood.
Then again, Jin had never gotten a chance to really tell Conrit.
So the question was answered. No matter what else happened, dragons would always hate him. That was as it should be. Especially since this time around, he had lost a hatchling, one he'd told himself he would protect with his life.
He needed some time away from his homemade scanner. A watched scanner sees nothing interesting, or something like that. So he was out in Garden Zone 1, lying on his back and staring into the sky. The fake sky. Stars, how long had it been since he'd seen a real, blue sky? Was Conrit back under a sky like that, a real one? He desperately hoped so, yet Jin couldn't shake images of Conrit floating in space or stranded on some distant moon.
Things had gone so wrong lately. He hoped his scanner would pick up something soon, so there could be some good news in all this.
Jin suddenly smelled cigarettes.
"Sleeping on the job?"
He bolted to his feet and ducked automatically into a bow.
"Ladon, Mr. Ceto sir, I wasn't--"
"Sit down, you damn jumping bean," Ladon snapped, eyes glittering under the shadow of his hat brim. "I told you to knock off the bowing and scraping. Not gonna get anyone nowhere, yeah?"
"Y-Yes, sorry sir, I just, I need to clear my head...the, the scanner's still running of course, and, and I get the information fed to my wearable, I promise I'm still working, I really..."
"Shut up for once in your life, will ya?" Jin thought he saw a tuft of smoke roll out from Ladon's nose, darker than cigarette smoke. "Look. Didn't come here to hear you cryin' like a dame at me, and didn't come to chew the fat either. But I..." Ladon grumbled. "Need to ask you something."
"S-Sure, anything..."
Ladon seemed to mull it over for a second. "The kid's hat. You said he lost it. Did he manage to get it back?"
Jin blinked at him and tried to remember. "I think...I think he did, yeah...I helped him look for it, b-but I think he f-found it on his own..."
"Good. Kid'll need it 'f I'm not there." Ladon groaned and rubbed the back of his neck, looking away for awhile. "You really think he went home?"
"I...honestly, I don't know for sure, but. But I hope he did. I think he did. Th-That's where people say they go, when, when teleporters do that. Um..." Jin wondered if he wanted to risk a question, but Ladon was being talkative for once. And Jin wanted to know.
"Will...will he be okay if he went home? H-He's not alone there, right...?"
Ladon stared at him for a moment, but Jin couldn't tell what he was thinking. He never could.
"I got a family'll look after him. Till I get there."
Relief flooded him. "Oh. Oh, thank goodness."
Ladon was still staring at him with that weird expression. "So. You did care 'bout him."
"Yeah! Yeah, of course, I mean...I mean, he's a hatchling."
Ladon sighed, shook his head and sat down. Jin sat as well, knowing better than to stay standing.
They sat in silence. It occurred to Jin that Ladon wasn't yelling at him anymore.

Gamzee and Joe, 103 (watch it be a sad song)
Camille and Joe, 128
and of course take your time since you aren't feeling well.
GAMZEE AND JOE, 103 - I'M SORRY FOR THIS
you knew damn well i was a snake
before you took me in
It was Joe's fault. Obviously. Joe's own fault for being there, for opening the door when Gamzee came knocking. Hadn't Karkat (his best friend once, filthy creature) and the other Gamzee (false, fake, pretender, doppleganger) been all over the network, warning people? "Gamzee's loose," they were all saying. Look out. He's crazy. He'll kill you.
Crazy? Fuck that. He wasn't crazy. He was sane, at long last. At long fucking last.
Oh, Joe. Disgusting, helmeted red-blooded human piece of shit. So caring, such a nice guy, really. Pathetic. He'd thought he could talk Gamzee out of it. Or maybe he'd just wanted to buy some time for Eridan to get away (wouldn't work, wouldn't fucking work). Didn't matter, did it? Come in, Gamzee, he'd said. Come in, let's talk.
The talk had been short. That stupid helmet wasn't protecting him now, was it? (HA HA HA FUCKING HA) Gosh. Red blood was so beautiful, wasn't it? Apple red, candy red. He was drenched in it now. Yes, he would really have to savor it next time.
For now, though, he had some plum blood to find.

CAMILLE AND JOE, 128 this is dumb idek
so with sin i condemn you
demon play, demon out!
In this moment he hated her. She could see it in his eyes. She didn't really understand it, but humans were like that.
"She was just a kid, Camille!" he yelled, shooting another horrified glare at the ear mounted on her wall. "Just a stupid kid!"
She blinked at him and tilted her head. "Yes, and I saw to it that she got what she deserved. Stupidity can't just be forgiven, you know. How was I to know she hadn't really dumped black rock into the water supply?"
"You coulda checked the network, asked someone!" His hands had balled into fists. "She didn't deserve...that! I can't believe you'd do something like that..."
Her eyes flashed as she gave them some extra iridescence. Really, she'd thought he would see reason.
"Didn't deserve what? Being eaten? Is that the part that really bothers you, Joe?"
He was glaring at her again, not wanting to look at the ear anymore. She met his gaze steadily.
"Yeah, that's what I got a problem with. You can't go 'round eating people who piss you off! It's sick!"
She hissed, actually hissed like a snake. "Ohh? Why not? Why is it sick? Do you even know what would have happened to her, if this had been my world and she had threatened to use black rock like that. Oho, pray that the Jaguar Empress doesn't find out, or the Exorcists Cabal, or any number of governments! They would have been far crueler than me."
Now he just looked...disappointed. He turned away.
"Guess I just thought you were better than this."
"No, Joe. You thought I'd be more human than this. Well, I'm not human, Joe, and I'm not sure what gave you the impression. Maybe I shouldn't wear the human form so often? Human morals, human sensibilities! Silly and hypocritical half the time! I think all of that is as silly as you think I'm horrible." She bared shark teeth in a grin. "Yes, I ate her, and you know what? She was tasty! I'd do it again, if it were the same situation. She's a wannabe murderer playing with fire. It's her own fault she got burned."
He had nothing further to say, and she could tell by now that he was scared now, as well as disgusted and horrified. He turned and walked out without another word. Camille let him go.
