This is a take-off from the random playlist thread in Social space. Here's what you do: Open your media player, set it to random/shuffle. Then write one or more drabbles inspired by the songs that come up. One 100-word drabble per song and no skipping! Be sure to list the song and artist when you post your drabble(s).
Consider this, in a way, a "musical drabble challenge--just because."
1. Alone by Celine Dion
“Before the Kiss” (Trip/T'Pol)
His laughter still sends pebbles to her skin as they leave sickbay together. She has missed this, missed the way his mere presence anchors her. He has been back on the ship for only a few weeks, and he is leaving again—leaving her again.
Unacceptable.
And yet, the words do not come immediately. He walks away, and she feels the moment slipping through her fingers like mazhiv. Suddenly, the words are there, springing from her lips. Stay. Stay because I need you.
He smiles, but makes no commitment. What more can she do or say?
Then, she knows…
[A/N: mazhiv = sand]
2. Bring Me Down by Pillar
“Indomitable” (Mirror Universe, Archer and Forrest)
“The bridge is yours, Captain.”
Jon likes the purple that colors Forrest's face. The mutiny may have been unsuccessful, but Jon still has his victories. He will make Forrest listen. He will make Starfleet Command listen. He wants them all to know, to understand that he should have been captain—that Forrest is not daring enough to bring glory to the Empire.
“Throw him into the agony booth!” yells Forrest, the veins popping in his neck.
Jon laughs as the soldiers roughly usher him to the lift. Forrest can torture him, but Jon knows he has won.
3. My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson
“Dysfunctional” (Mirror Universe, Trip/T'Pol)
Tucker doesn't even have to look up when the doors to the mess hall open. He knows it's her, the Vulcan—his Vulcan. He looks anyway. She's wearing a short dress—a very short dress—and black boots that come up to her knees. He licks his lips as she crosses the room.
You're gonna regret what you did.
He should have told her she was going to pay for what she did, because he realizes that's exactly what she's going to have to do. She's going to have to make payment to him.
All night long.
Now it's your turn!

Why? I hear you ask. Well, cos I don't have a playlist!
So I'll just enjoy the reads!
