Writing w/Music Meme
Death Note memeage. WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS !!
shitty rough draft © 2008 Jen Collins
Meme snatched oh so appreciatively from vapor_pressure. Vlog, playlist was not as randomized as possible. I went to my favorites list on YouTube and chose my very favorites among them in order. Then, I switched the positions of “The Mission” and “Suite Sister Mary” by Queensryche because they come from the concept album “Operation Mindcrime” and it wouldn’t make sense if they were written in the opposite order, at least to me. 
So yeah, I cheated a little. Still, I loved this exercise in writing, and I learned a lot from it. Hooray for learning. If you’re interested, the playist can be found here.
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~
Pairing – Light/Ryuzaki
(1) Naruto Opening Theme Song Fifth Season – Sasuke Retrieval Arc
Seishun Kyosokyoku
But still this incident will hurt you,
That’s why it’s goodbye,
I told him from the beginning I’d give him my friendship. And I did. Light Yagami is the friend of Ryuzaki. But L is Kira’s enemy. And he will die.
(2) In the End – Linkin Park
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
Rain chilled skin pebbled on their bodies as Ryuzaki bent on one knee, solemn. He held the other’s foot with the reverence that all life should be given, trying in this act to express everything he felt Light meant to him, would always mean to him despite the fact that they had fought on opposite sides of such a terrible, beautiful battle. Light knew that he never felt as close to another human that he had him, didn’t he?
Light wasn’t looking at him.
L couldn’t tell. Maybe he would never know.
(3) Ballad of Chasey Lain by Bloodhound Gang
P.S.
Mom and Dad this is Chasey
Chasey this is my Mom and Dad
Now show ‘em them titties . . .
Would ya fuck me for blow?
Dad, I’m fucking L.
L, you know Dad.
Hi, Mr. Yagami. *blushes* This is a little awkward.
Light! What is the meaning of this?
Dad, you haven’t had a piece of this! You want a piece? Give him a try.
What?
C’mon, L. Bend on over. (I’ll give you some ice cream).
(4) bloodhound gang – foxtrot uniform charlie kilo
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I brazillian wax poetic
Oh Kami, this is going to be obscene. Fuck. Light-kun, I am at a loss. Can you do this?
Of course L. I’m better than you at everything. I want to fuck you so bend over and grab your ankles baby, down on all fours, yeah, spread ‘em, motherfucker, hurry, I’ve got better things to do than fuck you, L. I’ve got people to execute, a new world to create but first I think I’ll fuck you just as hard as I can right in the ass, how’d you like that, you bastard? Then, once I’m done with that, you’ll be so out of it that I’ll be free to do whatever I want.
Damn, Light-kun. You sure do talk a lot.
(5) The Bloodhound Gang – I hope You Die
He does “The Silence of the Lambs” dance to Christian rock
Light snarled as he turned and stalked away from the television, and then back to his desk – his face red with rage. Just who the hell do you think you are, L? The lines are drawn, you don’t know who you’re dealing with, and what I’m capable of.
How should I kill you? Suicide? Accident? Murder at the hands of a particularly twisted, perverted serial killer? I’d like to wrap my own hands around your neck and squeeze, watch your eyes bulge, feel your body buck under mine as you struggle for breath, feel your fingers skitter helplessly at your neck and then relax as you give up. I want to look into your eyes as you realize that there is no way that you can triumph, as you acknowledge your utter defeat.
(6) Higher Ground – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sleepers,
Just stop sleepin’
L lifts his finger to his lip absently as his wide, almost innocent eyes follow Light’s every movement, fascinated. Can he really be innocent? Could I have been this wrong?
Light catches his eye, and he smiles.
Ryuzaki flashes a smile in return.
(7) Sex Type Thing – Stone Temple Pilots
I’m gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
Ryuzaki flinches, and slumps over, Light’s heart rate rises. His crotch tightens, and he leaps to snatch his friend before he hits the floor on his way to dying. Light holds him close and can’t help but press his erection into Ryuzaki’s hip, eyes blazing with heat as he watches the other man’s grow wide and black with fear.
Light crushes himself against Ryuzaki now. You want this, too, Ryuzaki. I know you do. You wanted me to hurt you – you have some sort of death wish.
Well, here it is.
I love you.
I forgive you.
(8) Hungry Like the Wolf – Duran Duran
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I’m after you
Now that Light had the Second Kira at his disposal, he was invincible. He had merely to wait for the right moment to execute Ryuzaki.
Ryuzaki. The other day he had turned his head, tilting it in just a certain angle – baring his throat.
Unprepared for the heat Ryuzaki’s little display sparked, Light’s breath hitched, and his eyes narrowed. Since that moment, all he could think of was . . .
L has to die just as soon as possible.
(9) The Mission – Queensryche
They’ll say my mission saved the world,
And I stood proud
And on the Sixth Day, Light found the Notebook.
Higuchi dies.
Light smiles, and his eyes glow like a neon light. Quietly, he turns away from Ryuzaki and remembers.
The day he found the notebook, he thought it a sick joke.
Yet he kept it.
And when he experimented on it, using it to save those hostages in the elementary school – the purpose of his life flickered into existence.
Can’t you understand, Ryuzaki? If anybody can, it should be you.
Light tried to deny it. But he could not, because he had been picked by a God to be God. And he held his head high, for he was Kira.
(10) Suite Sister Mary – Queensryche
They made you pay in guilt for your salvation
Rain patters on the concrete. He looks from beneath the hand that shields his eyes to see Ryuzaki.
Ryuzaki stands beneath the satelite discs, his face a shroud.
What are you doing out here, Ryuzaki?
Ryuzaki looks askance.
What are you doing out here, Ryuzaki?
Ryuzaki cups his ear. What did you say?
Goddamnit. Light stalks through the wet. He doesn’t know why he bothers. What are you doing out here?
The dark haired investigator looks away, haunted. The bell. It’s been ringing all day.
I hate him so much.
The crash of thunder blasts through Light’s soul, and his entire body alights with joy. He almost smiles as he sees Ryuzaki freeze in pain, hears him gasp, watches him fall.
There’s something in the other’s eyes that almost makes Light . . . he doesn’t know. Remorseful? No. That can’t be possible. He hates Ryuzaki. He hates L. He hates him. He has a Mission. He is the God of the New World.
The storm echoes as it passes, and it leaves nothing in its wake except KIRA.
~ End ~
