Disclaimer: I own nothing but these drabbles.
A/N: As stated in the summary, these were written for a meme that's floating around LJ that I quite frequently abuse for fun when I hit a dry spell. These were the guidelines for it:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.
Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

He hears the kainde amedha Queen scream and claw, the ice breaking, the relieving sound of her massive body being dragged into the depths of the water below.
Then there's footsteps. Light and stumbling, unsure and scared. He looks to the right, up in what he thinks is her general direction and trills quietly, triumphantly, to the best hunting companion he has ever had the honor of coming across.
She kneels and desperation kicks in. He focuses with what little strength he has left, concentrates entirely on the human female.
Blues fade to purple to reds and oranges and yellows. The image throbs before him, in time with her heartbeat. He can see her. Only her.
And suddenly, before it all ends, he feels something slight, trivial, that overwhelms the cold.
