Breathing Is Hard; Also, Whee, Fic

[infinitepryde]

Just finished cleaning the Stuff off the top of the family desk in the living room.

Stuff, in this case, means "insurance paperwork back to 1981."

Yes, the desk has not been moved since 1981.

Yes, the dust was not so much bunnies as snakes.

I called my husband at work and told him "when you get home, take your shoes off outside, take a deep breath, then go inside and upstairs immediately without breathing en route."

To take my mind off that, FIC PROMPT CHALLENGE stolen from annwyd...



This time, it's two lists. One is the Major Arcana (explanation of their meanings is here); another is a set of song lyrics (generated by flipping randomly through my current set of songs). You pick one from each (try to check the comments and pick ones that haven't already been picked, since I won't be able to check this to cross things off the list that often)--two in all. Then give me a character or relationship of any kind (group, platonic, romantic, whatever) and I'll do a ficbit. Or try to. I can't promise they'll all get done, but I'll do my best.

Notes added on my part: Alas, I still have a fairly limited set of fandoms. No, I will not specifically write a romantic ficbit versus a platonic one. Yes, pick one from Column A and one from Column B...

Column B: Lyrics

1: We shed our skins to be belonging
2: I never lost my faith - just my way
3: Who comes to us in friendship, you are a sacred guest
4: Carnage is not that conducive to passion
5: You know I love it when the news is bad
6: I want to be a machine
7: I like a man who knows things men weren't meant to know
8: All these years and no one heard
9: It's five o'clock in the morning in a coffee shop in Seoul
10: What a fate, to be imprisoned at the height of your dreams
11: Memories I can't quite hold, but can't let go
12: You slid yourself into a dream, you said it fit you like a glove
13: But I knew that right was might and heroes didn't need the brawn
14: I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
15: Unheard, unseen, unfelt, unreal
16: And I've gotta hear the same sermon all the time now from you people
17: Keep the lantern bright, keep food upon the table
18: I want hell and I want bliss
19: To the centre of the city where all roads meet
20: I'm not doing this for my health
21: I had reason, but that was yesterday
22: Deal the cards and trade the glances; roll the dice and take your chances
