Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me.
1. Pick a character, fandom, pairing, friendship, whatever.
2. Put on your music program on shuffle/random and start playing songs.
3. For each song, write something inspired by the song related to the theme you chose earlier. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.
4. Do 10 songs and post. Make sure to include the song name/artist.
1. Alive With The Glory Of Love-Say Anything (Morgan/Reid, slash)
For someone who claims he can't dance, Spencer's pretty damn good at it, Derek thinks to himself as he watches his lover sway on the dance floor. Spencer glances over at him, peeking out from behind long, dark lashes, and his pretty, pretty lips curve in a small, almost coy smile. People other than Derek are watching too, but any jealousy is drowned out by the satisfaction that he feels knowing that Spencer only sees him. They don't do this often anymore-not that they did it too often to begin with-and sometimes unwinding with pure, physical exertion is exactly what he needs to chase away the numbness that creeps over him after a particularly hard case. Out on the streets, it's entirely possible that some psychotic lunatic is killing someone, but here in the bar Derek sidles up behind Spencer, takes hold of his hips to guide his movements, and lets himself feel alive.

2. A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody-John Steel/Ziegfeld Follies Of 1919 (Rossi/Prentiss, het)
"Wow," Dave breathes out when Emily opens the door. She tucks a bit of hair behind her ear and smiles shyly at him, her hands restlessly smoothing the already smooth fabric of her silk dress.
"Is it okay for the restaurant," she asks, automatically moving to take his arm when he holds it out for her.
"You'll put everyone else there to shame," he murmurs in her ear and an enticing blush spreads across her cheeks as he bends to kiss her.

3. Pretty Woman-Van Halen (Aaron Hotchner, Penelope Garcia, pre-het)
There's glitter in her blond hair and her shoes are the most flamboyant shade of neon green that Aaron's ever seen. The bright slash of her lipstick is sinfully inviting, her lips as red and tempting as a glossy apple, just waiting for him to bite into them. Aaron's frozen in place, mesmerized by the swing of her skirt and the way her curls bounce as she sashays her way through the bullpen. He turns to Gideon, staying him with a hand on his forearm. "Who's the new girl?"
Gideon pauses, glancing over the top of his glasses, barely sparing her a look. "Penelope Garcia, the new technical analyst."

4. Hero-Bethany Dillon (Aaron Hotchner, gen)
He's distantly aware that he can hear Garcia's voice, frantic and high and fast, in his earpiece and there's a dull pounding as someone runs toward him. The concrete is hard and cold against his back, wet and sticky under his fingertips. His head falls to the side and his cheek presses against a sliver of glass. It breaks the skin. He should feel it, but he doesn't. Someone's holding his hand, saying his name. He forces his eyes open and sees Morgan handcuffing the unsub. Rossi's kneeling by his head, completely ruining a pair of pants that probably cost more than Aaron's first car. Reid's expression is closed off, the way it always gets when he's trying to distance himself, protect himself. Prentiss is in tears. He wouldn't have expected that from her, but he's oddly touched by it. JJ's on the edge of the growing crowd, her arms around the little girl, both of them bloody and bruised, but safe and whole. It's okay then, he decides. That makes it worth it.

5. Chanson-Emily Skinner/The Baker's Wife (Penelope Garcia, Aaron Hotchner, pre-het)
Penelope likes the hum of her computers. It's a constant, grounding sort of thing in a world that's all too often throwing her around on unsteady feet. She's heard people complain that it's annoying, that it grates on their nerves, but she's never understood that. She reclines back in her chair and closes her eyes, relaxing as much as she possibly can in her small office, and nearly topples over when the door opens. Hotch glances around the room as if he's surprised by the little homey touches that she fills it with, the same way he does every time he ventures into her batcave, then the very corners of his mouth turn up in a smile so brief that it would be oh so easy to miss it and she instinctively reaches for her keyboard as the world slips out from underneath her again.

6. Cherish the Child-Rebecca Luker/cut from Lizzie Borden (Aaron Hotchner, Jack Hotchner, gen)
Aaron rests his hand on top of Jack's fragile ribcage and stares at his peaceful face as he sleeps, striving to remember every curve and line so that he can carry the picture in his mind the next time he's away. He can feel his son's heart beating under his palm and his hand rises and falls with his steady, deep breathing. Jack snuffles in his sleep and shifts a little, so small and vulnerable and breakable. Aaron leans close and gently kisses his forehead, his hair downy soft where it brushes his nose, and silently repeats his vow to Haley to protect their son.
*
7. Break Apart Her Heart-Good Charlotte (Kevin Lynch/Penelope Garcia, Aaron Hotchner/Penelope Garcia, infidelity, het)
Penelope's been avoiding him and it isn't until he sees her through a restaurant window eating with someone else that he finally understands why. Kevin knows that things have been strained, that they've been drifting the last several months, but he'd never even considered that she might find someone else. It's Penelope. She isn't like that, he tells himself, except he stands outside the restaurant and watches her laughing and smiling and flirting. And when they stand up and he finally catches sight of the man's face as he helps her back into her coat and bends to kiss her shoulder, Kevin feels too hopeless to even be angry, because he doesn't think he'll ever be able to compete with the immovable, unblinking Aaron Hotchner.

8. Christmas Lullaby-Songs for a New World OBC (JJ, Henry, gen)
It's terrifying knowing that she's responsible for another person. JJ thinks that she should be used to it what with all the time she's spent pouring over case files and deciding who to help. Who to not help. It's not the same, she thinks to herself as she gazes in awe at the little bundle of perfection in her arms. He's beautiful, her baby boy, and she's so completely afraid for him that she feels her heart could break. All parents must fear for their children, for their safety, their happiness, their everything. But she wonders which is worse. Is it worse to imagine, to speculate, but not really know, or is it worse to know every depraved thing that people are capable of. She wants to hide him away somewhere where he'll be safe, but she knows she can't. All she can do is hold him and make certain that when danger comes she's between him and it.
*
9. Let's Hear It For The Boy-Cindy Lauper (Derek Morgan/Spencer Reid, slash)
The teenage boy behind the counter is looking at Spencer like he's completely lost his mind and Derek isn't certain he blames him. Derek has no idea how Spencer got onto the topic of Aztec fertility rituals, but he's fairly certain that he should have been able to order a cup of coffee without bringing it up. When Spencer pauses for a moment, his lips pursed as he scans the impressive collection of information in his plus sized brain for the specific fact that he's looking for, Derek grabs one of his hands out of the air and leans around him to tell the barista that they want two large coffees to go. The boy lets out a sigh of relief and punches in their order. While they wait on their orders, Derek wraps his arms around Spencer's waist and pulls him snug against him.
He kisses the side of his neck and murmurs, "You know, you're really lucky that I think all your intellectual ramblings are oddly sexy instead of flat out bizarre."
Spencer just looks at him like he has no idea what Derek's talking about.

10. Summertime-Ruthie Henshall/Porgy and Bess (David Rossi, gen)
The first week after he retires from the FBI, Dave barely spends more than an hour at a time indoors. He has a deadline due on the first six chapters of his book, but the lazy, hot summer days and the slow, hazy summer nights are too seductive to resist. His wife acts like he's lost his damn mind. Maybe he has. He loved his job-loved it so much that it physically hurts to be away from it-so why did he ever leave? Outside by the lake with a dog by his feet, a shotgun heavy in his hand, and a warm breeze caressing his body as tenderly as a lover, it's easier to be swayed into the illusion that this is really where he wants to be and that he doesn't regret his choice.
