( Kozue's heart raced and a jolt of panic went through her as Akio leapt over the windshield... )

So, b_hallward is writing a series of absolutely gorgeous Merlin AU drabbles in which Merlin is Arthur's guardian angel. Go read them. Even if you've never seen Merlin, even if you don't like angels. They're masterpieces.

( Fandom talk )

It's spring break! Oh, yes, thank you god, I needed this.

And how did I decide to celebrate? Fanfic, of course! Specifically, this meme:

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts and stop when it's over, no lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

Only, the second half of step three? I didn't bother with that at all. I took my sweet time, thank you very much.

Anyway, the fandom I choose was Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Some of these may make you go, "Uh, the drabble and song have nothing to do with each other. What was Veleda on?." I apologize.

Song: Corrupt- Karissa Noel
Pairing: One-sided Kozue/Miki
Rating: PG-13

( Kozue could taste blood in her mouth... )


Song: Notes/Twisted Every Way- Phantom of the Opera
Characters: Student council
Rating: PG
A/N: Played awfully loose with this song, but that was inevitable unless I wanted to go severely AU. (Actually, that might not have been a bad idea...)

( Dueling? Are we in some swashbuckling romance? This is ludicrous... )


Song: See How The Fates Their Gifts Allot- The Mikado
Characters: Wakaba, Saionji (mentioned)
Rating: PG
