Unfinished Fic Meme
I snagged this meme from dreiser because it looked like fun. Also, since I don't know when, if ever, I'll manage to finish most of these stories it seemed only fair to share part of them this way.
"Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!"
"Still, things have to be done and introspection isn't one of them."
"It wasn't her fault, but still, it happened, and kept happening and for a while Mariya needed someone to blame. "
"At first he thought the growl was part of his fantasy, but it was so out of character for Miranda that he started to turn towards the sound."
"Enid is forced to agree, so Tiffany has started popping up in the background of Enid's sketches as a telephone pole with dangly earrings.
"This was not the first time Buffy had been attracted to another girl."
"I don't know if any of the others knew beforehand, but even Anya figured it out not too long after my sister died."
"Sometimes Veronica loses her focus."
"Celia is mad, Nancy realizes this, but she's still the only person she can really talk to anymore."
"Her life has become strangely fluid, like water in an estuary, moved from place to place by tides and currents that she barely comprehends."
“'What kind of a story would you like tonight dear?'”
"Lyri isn't the most talkative girl around, unless she's being Fred, but having the extra company is nice either way."
"This is not the first time I've had to kill someone I love, and how messed up is that?"
"There are days when she is only a little more than human."
"The first time they met it was in Switzerland, they shared a gondola ride to the top of the alp."
"Veronica doesn't entirely understand how this works, but has grudgingly resigned herself to at least a few unsolved mysteries in her life."
"If there had been anyone from contemporary Earth watching, they would have had an immediate and almost entirely wrong idea about what was happening, but there wasn't, so the striking resemblance of the globe and lightning to the Terminator movies went unremarked."
"Most of this was in an odd way, a natural and accepted way of life for her people with their tradition of grand and dangerous confidence games, but she betrayed them too in the embrace of Constatine's vision of the world made anew."
"Adelle lives in a world of miracles, able to remake people at a whim, but it still startles her to be face to face with Margaret after her death."
"Special Agent Mars used to like her life."
"I could tell you that I'm not sure when I fell for Kate, but that wouldn't be true, I know exactly when it happened."
"If she had gotten away with it, she and Lola wouldn't have become lovers in truth and that would have been a tragedy. "
"Sometimes she feels like Kant is writing her life because it seems full of clouds, every time she discovers one answer, a new question appears to obscure her view."
"Its not every day that you discover your boyfriend is a cold-blooded murderer and who knows what else."
" That limitation means that Lily's visits are usually both sad and completely unhelpful, Veronica is pretty sure that this Lily means well, but that just keeps her from yelling at the ghost when the frustration gets too great."
"They are not twins, her sister is a couple of inches shorter, her eyes are a little deeper blue, and her jawline is a bit more pointed."
"Andy knew her Ladyship was pleased when she pronounced the accommodations “Adequate,” and didn't immediately launch into a long list of actions that Andy and or Emily, her maid, were expected to accomplish posthaste."
"At first there is only the Voice, the most glorious voice she has ever heard, ranging as she listens over every note she has ever heard a woman's throat produce from a low, rich contralto to a astonishingly clear soprano."
"There are only two things in my world right now, the music and B and they are almost one thing."
"She was at a Gala Benefit for Luekemia when she first saw the stone that changed everything."
"Sometimes, I almost forget what my life was like before I was called, before I got my powers and before I had to face what hides in the darkness."
"At first she thought it was a dream come true, that she would finally be valueable to other people, noticeable, special."
"The midwife had insisted that he be elsewhere and in truth he had no desire to be too closely involved in the details of his wife's confinement."
"Its been far too long since she's smelled the ponderosas, since before Sunnydale and she misses them."
"Later, when she speaks of it, she will talk about the moment in every waking where things snap into focus and we regain a more fundamental thread of identity and purpose, but in the moment it is just another mystery, one of many."
"Buffy's been supportive of Willow and Tara, but Dawn knows that she's in a different category in her sister's brain."
"Giles will be able to fix it, she thinks, and finds herself dialing his number desperately."
"It's an oddly inconstant process that only ends when she is quite close, and brings nothing to mind so much as what she imagines would happen if a highly distractible two-year-old had somehow become a successful stage illusionist.'
"It was lovely, and when we collapsed amidst the heaps of pillows on the queen size bed, I realized that I was probably going to spend a lot of time in here with Tara."
"Strangely, after the initial shock it wasn't painful and it felt like her blood was being replaced by warm dark wings and a staggering rush of sexual pleasure."
"One of the things that she has realized since then is that while she lost a lot, and she will always miss both of them, no one's world, not even her own, is only two people."
"I wouldn't be here if Buffy hadn't died the second time, or at least thats what I keep telling myself."
"When she emerges, her hair glistening in the starlight, she wordlessly beckons Tara to join her."
Hope you enjoyed
