To assure you (and me, I guess) that I am writing something, here's a meme:
If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else.
(Cheating a bit on a few and posting more than one sentence. Suck it, meme rules. :3 Also, forgive any tense, spelling, or generaly fail-y issues. None of these have been betad beyond a once-over or two.)
Untitled
Fluff
"She's just bitter because she hasn't had her dragon snapped since the fourth goblin war!"
Untitled, also (possibly going to be apart of the fic above this one. Not sure yet.)
Uber fluff
"Knowing this, his body naturally wanted to stay in bed, wrapped in the warm duvet and the lazy haze of sleep, clinging to the last vestiges of his quickly dissipating dream. His rational mind, however, knew the man he lived with."
'I Am 18 Going on 88'
Rather angsty
"He'd lost many best friends over the years, each time feeling a piece of his soul being ripped out of his hands--his nails, knowing he wouldn't win, dug in every time, trying to leave some sort of brand, some sort of evidence that he was there, that it was once his, if just for a while."
Untitled, can you tell that titling is one of the last things I do?
Fluffy romantic stuff
""Remus!" It was a firm reassurance. You can trust me."
'Remus Loves Fireworks'
Fluff, again. (I know, I know.)
""Are you going to be turning beer into wine? You know, Sirius, that's not exactly how the trick went.""
'Photography is Srz Bizniz'
I'm pretty sure this is also fluff.
"The line of Remus' mouth widens, the edges slowly curling upward like a new print, warm and freshly charmed dry."
'The Doctor'
Fluff, what else.
"A smile that would say, "you are made completely of daftness you daft, daft dog. The Tardis is a police box, not a telephone box. But don't worry, I will fix that when we're done here.""
'A LETTER TO SIRIUS BLACK FROM REMUS LUPIN, LATE JANUARY, 1982'
Angst! :D
"FOUND UNSIGNED, CRUMPLED, UNCRUMPLED, SLIGHTLY TORN AND YELLOWED AT THE EDGES BY NYMPHADORA TONKS MARCH, 1998"
'Blood'
More angst! :D
"Maybe to take away the pain, and the sadness, and anything that makes him do anything but smile and makes his voice hoarse from anything but laughing."
'A Series of Notes Between One Remus John "Moony" Lupin and One Sirius Orion "Padfoot" Black, Taking Place During One History of Magic Lecture on 14 May, 1976'
Humor/Fluff
""I would never call you Sue Ellen.""
'The Marauder's Official Ten Year Anniversary Fancy Dress Celebration'
Apparently I found where my angst was hiding. Here's some more angst.
""I just wanted to know," Sirius' words ended there as if there was another part to the declaration that was supposed to understood, rather than spoken. It's just like Sirius, Remus thinks. Only ever not using his words in times when he really rather should."
More Untitled goodness
Not sure of the genre yet. Possibly gen/romance?
"It was a personal motto of his, because he knew it was true and he knew he oozed it from every pore his body possessed."
Untitled piece about Sirius' mum
Angst/Gen
"She was never physically confrontational--not on her own--and dying was the one thing she couldn't have someone do for her."
Untitled Drabble
Fluff ahoy!
"The way he moves towards him almost reminds him of a snake making an endless s in sand until their noses bump and all previous thoughts are forgot except 'where his eyes always that big and so bright? Like stars?'"
Untitled Crack!Porn. Porn!Crack.
Heaps of crack. Illegal amounts of crack. A smidge of porn.
""How was I supposed to know that the potion was going to give you another vagina?""
Untitled H/C somethingorother
I think it was supposed to be Hurt/Comfort?
"Sometimes he would wake up with Sirius wrapped around him so tightly, clutching him so fiercely he was unsure wether or not Sirius would ever be able to be dislodged--not that Remus wanted to dislodge him."
Untitled
Fluff
"You've seen it a million times before and you think maybe this time, this time, you might remember what he does next."
Untitled
Romance?
"His jacket smelled like cigars, though he only ever smoked Marlboro's."
Untitled. SURPRISE.
Humor, fluff
"But that was the moment they fell out of the chair in a tangle of limbs."
AND THAT'S IT. :D Most of these will never ever ever see the light of day, and it saddens me, because I loved all of these once. Oh well. There's one specific one I'm working on now, though. Hopefully that will be up soon. :3
