ETA:  If your response is short, feel free to just put it up as a comment on this post. 

I'm issuing a Booth/Brennan fic challenge.  (OK, so it's more of a prompt than a challenge, per se.)  Would anyone be willing to write a poem, drabble, or fic based on Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police?  I'm dying for this fic, but I don't want to write it -- at least at this moment.  There's no deadline, and the only requirements are that  your piece is inspired by the song, you title it Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, and you don't write a song fic -- i.e. a story with the song lyrics pasted in.  It can be dark, fluffy slice-of-life (winks at [profile] tempertemper77), a mix, or whatever your little heart desires.

If you decide to write something, please comment on this post with a link.  I'd love to read your creation. :)  And if you're looking for someone to do a read-through or beta before you post, I would be happy to lend a hand.  Just give me a holler. 

Anyone willing to take up the gauntlet?  Please?  Bueller?  *gives best puppy-dog eyes*

Lyrics:

"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Yay! I was hoping you would be tempted. *g* Can't wait to see what your masterful brain comes up with.

Just back to let you know that I am still working on this!! I know exactly what I want it to be, but it is being stubborn getting there! It doesn't help that I feel my time is limited right now, which always stymies me creatively :(

Anyway, I know you don't expect anything, but just wanted to let you know! :)

Thanks for the heads-up, hon. But you're right -- I don't expect anything. So whatever I get will be purely a nice surprise! And if you want another pair of eyes for working out some kinks, I am always here. (Not trying to take Space's place, of course.) I know what you mean about about the limited time hurting your creativity. Sometimes little spurts of writing is all that life allows us. Regardless, don't worry; your writing will always be there, waiting for you when you're ready for it. :)
