Writing Patterns

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Tagged by @forerussake, thank you! 😘

Let's see how this changed since the last time I did this challenge.

The morning came as it usually did, too soon, chasing away any hopes of falling asleep again. (Unscathed, Luolin, on-going long fic)

The sea is uncharacteristically calm tonight, the waves almost welcoming, inviting even. (To wild uncharted waters, Weilan mermaid!au)

"What do humans do?" The question is out of his lips before he can think twice about it, unbidden and unashamed - he's been like this for a long time now. (What happens to the heart, novel-verse!Weilan)

A happy commotion coming from Wang Susu’s living room stops Lin Nansheng in his tracks right by the entrance ( Deux Movements, Luolin, Canon Divergence)

The French Concession is no more. ( A Practical Arrangement, One-sided Cen Zimo/Luo Fei with Luolin)

He Fei is having a terrible day and judging from the state of his wallet, it's going to become even worse as it progresses. (Mutual Delusion, He Fei/Chang Dong, angst with open ending)

This day is not going according to the plan. (Champagne Problems, He Kaixin/You Dongdong, romcom?)

Zhao Yunlan knew the expression ‘imprint like a duckling’ very well. (Spellbound, novel!Weilan, animal transformation)

The roof of the Sullivan's apartments is not a place Lin Nansheng expected to fear at any point in his life. (Unceasing Path, Luolin, bad ending)

The kid is not very high on Jiang Yang’s list of priorities, at least not initially. (I don't know why you came along at such a perfect time, Luo Qingeng/Jiang Yang, coparenting)

I skipped things published on LJ exclusively for the ease of copying stuff.

What I noticed is that in the works here I go for shorter sentences, but I also came to the conclusion that this game would work better if it was about the first paragraphs instead of just first sentences, then it would show a better variety of how these sentences actually work and what is their function when it comes to introducing the story and setting up the pace. But with what I have so far is that my first sentences tend to very clearly introduce what the story is about. Kid? Fear? Depression? Ducks??? yeah, you have it right here, in the first sentence. Sometimes it's not obvious at the first glance, but yeah, that's pretty much it.

Thank you for the tag, it was interesting to revisit those! ❤

Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing (Guardian), Chu Shuzhi, Guo Changcheng, Lin Jing (Guardian), Zhu Hong (Guardian), Special Investigation Division | SID Ensemble (Guardian) Additional Tags: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Mystery, handwavy post-canon fix-it, Kinda, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Grief/Mourning Summary:

"Zhao Yunlan heaves a shaky breath in. Desperate. Shen Wei was dying, he was dying, something saved him that day. Not something, someone kept him safe from harm, safe from himself. How he felt after Shen Wei disappeared— Zhao Yunlan wants to laugh. He wants to cry. Shen Wei desperate to save his own life? No, clearly not—the self-sacrificial bastard. But to save Zhao Yunlan, he would. He absolutely would, and he wouldn’t even consider the consequences."

WIP Game

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

Thanks @the-marron and @elenothar for the tag! I am slowly working my way through the tag memes so get prepared for random tags 324234 days after you tag me 😅

This is from Marron’s “unlikely friends” prompt from the Red Pocket Prompts Fest. Except neither of the pair of unlikely friends that’s the focus of the fic is actually in this line (spoilers: it’s Zhao Yunlan and Chu Shuzhi — which I hope counts as unlikely friends. But since I know Marron likes this friendship I’m hoping she will allow it either way)

Chatter flows out from the main room, where the computers sit dark and abandoned with the exception of Lin Jing’s screen which, Shen Wei assumes, is somehow connected to the music playing through the speakers.

And because this is way too many words for me to tag as number of people, I’m just going with @miss-ingno @buriedbybooks @justacoyote @mjsakurea @lacommunarde, if you guys feel like doing it :)

Tagged by @mjsakurea and @dual-domination ... shit guys, thanks! you overestimate me. sometimes i do have unfinished ideas floating around in my head, but they're not often retained because i don't always keep a folder/list (which yes is clearly a bad idea).

But So -

secret idea for this month's guardian bingo bonus prompt (animal transformations) - if i can make time when not drawing - if not i'll write it anyway, but too late for the july square.

weilan derivative- LuoLin missing person/memory situation (i do love these two, just having a hard time piecing their worlds together in a way that i like)

an old xxxholic fic i started making notes for and deleted yeeeeeears ago, but which still pesters me occasionally (if anyone knows what i'm talking about i detest the writers for spinning off into oblivion with that story while also trying to force it into another bloated and unfinished world). one of these days i'll probably reread the books and write something out in a frustrated huff.

that's really all i can retain right now - i am marathoning this music and drawing mashup that i really hope will be a massively obtrusive plug to get people to read the associated fic i poured the shredded bits of my heart into over the past year. HAa

Monday Fic Recs

Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie (DMBJ)

My heart is overflowing with these cliché words by bimingjue

Four times Wu Xie asked for Pangzi's help and thanked him with a kiss and the time Pangzi thanks Wu Xie for being Wu Xie.

This is so sweet and soft it melted my heart

Hei Xiazi/Xie Yuchen (DMBJ)

so many fade but i'm still here by lunarriviera

Xie Yuchen felt eyes on him, and looked up.

Hei Xiazi stood in the doorway, arms folded, leaning against the door’s edge. He wasn’t smiling, exactly, but it was a little too genuine, a little too eager, to be a smirk. He was wearing what for him was leisure wear—no fingerless gloves, no leather. Just black jeans, a long-sleeved black t-shirt with a normal crew neck, and his glasses. The single dog tag. Backpack over one shoulder.

“You’re here.” It was all Xie Yuchen said—all he could say, hope coursing through his veins like a drug.

I love the way this author writes these two. Every fic feels raw and real.

Gen (Under the Skin)

the slow process of getting to know by elenothar

Shen Yi through five different eyes.

So many found family feels. I loved this.

Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan (Guardian)

The Curse of Knowledge by mjsakurea

Right on the heels of Zhao Yunlan's arrival in the ancient past, a celebration to bolster camaraderie is held. Excitement sweeps the Alliance camp with everyone wanting desperately to win the approval of the legendary General Kunlun by showing off their unique abilities. What no one knows, not even Zhao Yunlan, however, is the true purpose of the event, and what painful echoes it has left on the future.

A wonderful bit of hurt/comfort. I love when things in the past echo how things have become in the future.

[dobranocka]

I was tagged by @mjsakurea with 5 songs, that I am currently listening to on repeat. Spotify to the rescue, I suppose:

Taylor Swift “hoax”

 Uu “那女儿对我说”

 Joker Xue “我好像在哪见过你”

 太一 “玉”

 Renata Przemyk “Kochana”

I’d like to tag @sasamelons and @miss-ingno, if no one else has gotten to you guys by now. Also @baiyubai if she ever gets back to tumblr (please come back!!! tumblr gods, let her come back T.T).

Mad About You - Live at Koningin Elisabethzaal 2012 by Hooverphonic

In my defense, glam metal is very easy to work to, mostly because it's one of the few genres of music I do not sing along to. Give me a musical playlist and instead of working I will sing Javert/Valjean Confrontation all by myself instead of writing reports.
