femslashficlets | florence + the machine lyrics prompt table

And it's time for our new prompt table!

The theme is Florence + the Machine lyrics, and you can interpret the prompts as loosely or as literally as you like – there's no restrictions at all on how you use them for inspiration. If there's any prompts that don't work for you, you can (within reason, obviously) substitute a few different lyrics of your own choosing.

TABLE

1.	She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
2.	This is a gift, it comes with a price
3.	Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
4.	And a falling star fell from your heart
5.	'Cause I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
6.	You can choose what stays and what fades away
7.	And all this devotion was rushing over me
8.	We are shining and we will never be afraid again
9.	Suddenly I'm overcome, dissolving like the setting sun
10.	A different kind of a danger in the daylight
11.	Oh, the heart, it hides such unimaginable things
12.	We never found the answer but we knew one thing
13.	'Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
14.	This is a song for a scribbled out name, and my love keeps writing again and again
15.	Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks, and the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts
16.	No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
17.	It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
18.	Love sticks, sweat drips, break the lock if it don't fit
19.	My held breath fills the room with love
20.	Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
