Choose one or two or however many and a character/pairing and I'll try and write something for it. As always, you can ask for verses and see what I can come up with.
1) we would all be fools to pray for justice
2) great charity, bad tactics
3) a place beyond fear
4) prayer is a dangerous business
5) trying to build a tower out of custard
6) I will not fail death
7) all things out of season
8) lit like a burning city
9) now explain why you glow in the dark
10) expect to be valued accordingly
11) such a natural, normal lethality
12) choose good actions without good knowledge
13) the confusion of mind you dub honor
14) you were born to be betrayed
15) how long have I been walking down this road?
16) any man can be kind when he is comfortable
17) I've seen him cheat himself
18) these prizes are for living men
19) in desperation, anything becomes possible
20) I'd storm heaven for you, if I knew where it was
21) ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be
22) with the right to rule came the duty to protect
23) they will be vastly unlucky in their children
24) but he quit just an hour too soon
25) matter remembered itself so very clearly
26) the structure of her nose alone
27) all the words in all the languages of the world that ever were or will be
28) like trying to weave a box of shadows in which to carry water
29) time and scale, both altered out of reckoning
30) even your darkness shall be treasured then

the darkness embraces that which it owns - Madhouse!Critic
A fortnight later, and you are strapped to a bed, being suffocated under blankets soaked in ice water. The orderly piles another across your mouth and you cannot scream, because screaming requires oxygen. The man with your face looks at you and smiles, tells you this is necessary, to save you. You believe him because his face looks honest.
Nine months later, and you're trying to breathe through the pain. Your side has not hurt so much since they inseminated you with the baby, bulging and moving, trying to get free. The skin finally bursts, and you feel warmth slide down your side. The man with your face brings the little one to you and tells you you did well. You smile weakly and wriggle your bloated arms against the mound of your body, wishing to hold your baby. But it is alright. The man with your face has saved you, and will keep the child safe.
You are grateful.
