out_thereNow, I'm used to mentally assigning songs to characters/situations. I'm used to plotting imaginary songvids that I never actually do. I'm used to the urge to repeat a song over and over and over while writing.
However, I'm currently sniggering at myself. My song for Ianto? Is Ani Difranco's "Studying Stones". *giggles*
Okay, most of the amusement here is coming from the way that Ianto is clearly such a woobie -- and TW itself is at one with the emo side of the force -- for me to connect in this way. The other amusement is freakin' Ani Difranco. I mean, I know Ianto isn't an alpha male, but according to my deep-down-brain, he's barely even registering as male. *snorts*
Also? Painkillers kicked in. So I'm easily amused. And my picfor1000 story refuses to... be more than three lines long.

Lyrics:
studying stones
i am out here studying stones
trying to learn to be less alive
using all of my will
to keep very still
still even on the inside
i've cut all of the pertinent wires
so my eyes can't make that connection
i am holding my breath
i am feigning my death
when i'm looking in your direction
'course numb is an old hat
old as my oldest memories
see that one's my mother
and that one's my father
and that one in the hat, that's me
it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon
when i got out on the open road
but any more pent up emotion
and i think i'm gonna explode
there's never been an endeavor so strange
as trying to slow the blood in my veins
to keep my face blank
as a stone that just sank
until not a ripple remains
i am high above the tree line
sitting cross legged on the ground
when all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted
that's when i'm gonna come down
'course numb is an old hat
old as my oldest memories
see that one's my mother
and that one's my father
and that one in the hat, that's me
it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon
when i got out on the open road
but any more pent up emotion
and i think i'm gonna explode

Date: 2007-02-05 04:14 am (UTC)Hmm. Possibly, I should look for a plot.
Date: 2007-02-05 04:28 am (UTC)Gwen shot him a disapproving look. "Someone got out of the wrong side of bed."
Rolling his eyes, Owen stifled a yawn. "Speak for yourself, love. Some of us haven't been to bed yet. Remember what it's like to go out and have fun, or has it been too long since you and Rhys have?"
Gwen scowled at him and Owen grinned back. If he had to be here and be miserable, the rest of them could suffer too.
"After the first girl ran off, the remaining twenty-six children on the playground suddenly started crying and ran away," Ianto supplied, glancing at his clipboard. "And Toshiko's computer noticed an irregularity in electromagnetic fields, most pronounced in this area."
"So I got dragged out here before seven on a Saturday morning to poke around a playground and take readings? God, I love this job."
"Good to hear," Jack said, with the type of smile that could only be Jack Bloody Harkness at an hour that God clearly forgot. Or should never have made in the first place.

Re: Hmm. Possibly, I should look for a plot.

It's TW. That kind of goes without saying.
I just need to think of something that can be done in 840 words.
