Voices in my head

So clearly I need a minder who will stand over me and tell me to do my work! My actual work.

Instead, here are five (yes, five! 5: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!) Why can't my assigned reading be as interesting as addictive as this?

Prompt #1: Highlander, Methos,
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
(Giving up the Gun by Vampire Weekend)

 
Ficlet #1: An old and rusty sword
 

Prompt #2: Highlander, Methos/Kronos, Four Is Death

Ficlet #2: Four is Death
 

Prompt #3: Highlander, Methos/Duncan, Horsemen of the Apocalypse

 
Ficlet #3: And the world die with you
 

Prompt #4: Firefly, Book & Jayne, hearing Jayne's sort-of confession

Ficlet #4: Making room for more sinning
 

Prompt #5: Any, any, Goldfish Poop Gang

(which turned into: Batman, the Wayne family & The Eggman, Goldfish Poop Gang)

Ficlet #5: Batman versus the Eggman
