first lines

tagged by @drivestraight

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to AO3. (Sort by date posted.) If you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have.

this is so fun. i have a love/hate relationship with first lines... like either they come to me easy (it's like this! like, boom!) or i'm thinking about it for like 17 business days. but fun story usually i start writing a fic because i start actually writing it in my head, like with an imaginary google doc and all of that, so i'll only make the actual document when i think i have an idea of what i want to write, not just what i want to happen.

anyways. i will do my ten most recent fics. under the break. this was fun to look at also i haven't given my previous first lines a whole ton of thought lately... very intriguing. some i like better than others tbh

telephone

Every time the words circle back around to Esteban, it's a different story.

like a house on fire

For the nearly three years since Charles first moved into the duplex, his upstairs neighbor has been the same mild-mannered woman.

backseat freestyle

"Do you not think it is a little bit pathetic?"

growing pains

It is easier to make friends in racing when the stakes are lower.

firebug

For the first time since Pierre and Charles started dating—years ago, so far from the present it feels like something they never knew—Charles thinks he actually wants to be mad at his boyfriend.

choking on your alibis

For two weeks of the summer before their last year of university, Charles is meant to stay with his best friend, Esteban.

carlos.jpg

Lando posts pictures of pretty buildings and fast cars.

violent ends

It's disgustingly instinctual.

pressure machine

The lights are out.

the alps

Pierre has the decency to tell Yuki before the announcement goes up.

also i'm gonna do miamis (alt!) because i'm annoying. welcome to: hell, population: me. we win these

piranha

Being teammates with Logan is a fucking lot.

show me how you show off

They're a bit tipsy, hiding in the darkened corner of a bright-lit nightclub.

shark bait

Oscar kind of knew what he was signing up for when he decided to go to school in America, but he doesn't think anything could've prepared him for the email that said his roommate's name was Logan Hunter Sargeant.

your animal side

Oscar presents late.

an itch under my skin

"There's my pretty thing."

contact-drunk

Oscar doesn't know why he even came to this party.

pretty thing

"Come on, open up."

and you know what just for fun here's the first line of my current wip :)

Williams is the only team on the grid with an all-Beta driver lineup.

oh and i tag: @hourcat @dm3rv @alblondo23 @oversteerey to do if they wish. sorry if you were double tagged <3

#fic game #tag game #this was a fun time #we love writing!#tbh sometimes i do read other people's fics and have a moment of like. damn that was a good opener!#i love when that happens #so. always fun to consider #tbh why is the shark bait opener so LONG

So there's this AU,

#art #scribbles #tmnt #tmnt au #tmnt original iteration #tmta #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt au leo #tmnt au raph #tmnt au donnie #tmnt au mikey #leo #raph #donnie #mikey #This post was originally saved to my drafts in October 2023. Jesus fucking christ #Gonna post all the stuff I have in my drafts at once so you'll have to check the other posts for more up to date stuff #These designs are semi-outdated at this point too but whatever. I don't draw stuff consistently anyway #The stuff in Donnie's belt is changeable. He basically stuffs whatever he might need in there #Also he is freakishly tall compared to the others and nobody lets him forget it #There's no good reason either the others just missed out on the Tall Genes(tm)#Mikey's bandages/tape are also interchangable but he's always got some on Somewhere #He's not careful #Finally Leo and Raph are non-identical twins #Leo was born first but they're both considered the oldest #Oh wait also little fun fact #Shelly is Leo's pet turtle who gets inherited by Karai

going to look at houses with one of the boys because yall need a bigger one with more rooms now that ale and rudy have officially joined the polycule and the agent is really working the kids angle for "you and your... husband?" and ofc it's johnny who goes with you and he's feeding into it by only referring to them as "the boys" that by the time you've settled on a house and you get the agent to do one last viewing so they can all come see, her head fucking explodes first when she sees "the boys" and again after they all take their turns giving you and johnny your initial smooches, and the smile on johnny's face tells you this couldn't have played out as perfectly even in his dreams

#poly boys #it's honestly really cute that johnny considers it this secret little tool in his arsenal #because he never thought he'd be lucky enough to have a single partner to actually see him and love him. and to have this many???#man is fucking overjoyed #he's going to keep getting as much fun out of it as he can #and even tho yall grumble about his shenanigans you can't help but love how happy he is about it all #johnny's out here like “oh no this won't do this room will be too far for simon he'll want to be closer”#and the agent is like “oh is he your youngest? it's always so hard to get them to sleep in their own rooms at first”#johnny viciously nodding along as you picture simon in the mom i frew up pose

When a typical virus attaches itself to its host, it duplicates, right? It spreads, essentially hijacking the host… What is so unusual here is that this virus, the infected hosts seem to be communicating.

Stranger Things season two (2017)

Something other about his eyes

Bonus! Based on this quick thing I did this afternoon and the idea took a bit more shape and turned into that thing from above uEK

#not too much effort on the colors with this one #o would’ve left it just with lineart but at the end I thought it would look nicer with some rough shadows #shadowing. you know what I meant.#his plant markings being extremely faint on his eyes when they aren’t glowing is very true to me also #I think itd be awesome if Vash’s eyes would just look like that when he isn’t masking #or they could be a bit more lax but still look like they are staring far far away into the void #or into your souls if you so happen to make eye contact with him. like woowoo over here #he is probably listening for one of his sisters who is not so close to him. maybe even Kni? who knows it’s up to interpretation #Vash’s hair can be such a nightmare also. I do not think of physics when drawing him whatsoever #I give him the Mickey Mouse ears treatment sometimes and some other I actually respect the fact that his hair will always be swept #to the right. if you haven’t noticed that yet. I think it’s way more noticeable on the 2d art #which is a nice touch! considering that’s the direction I’m which his haircut was when they were kids. isn’t that fun #anyways weird Vash for me once again and I’ll share a little with you. ah I’ll get to the requests later btw!#trigun #vash the stampede #trigun stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi draws #vash saverem #ah extra note. this is meant to be pre plant revelation. I think Vash would already know about what WW is there for since very early on #but about the plant thing he was still a little doubtful since he wouldn’t think Kni would disclose that information so easily.#so seeing that Nick has a very keen eye and is very observant kind of ticks him off even though he is just the same. so maybe that’s why #it ticks him in the first place. headcanons everywhere in this household

I know poor little meow meows are so often men but gosh do I love a little guy (who is a girl) that just has everything in the book wrong with her & also she’s got the most pathetically sad backstory ever. yes she’s capable of atrocities but have you seen her big sad eyes & her over the top depressing sob story? ignore the blood magic & grave robbing did you know her life was already so bad & then it got insurmountably worse because everyone around her couldn’t resist the urge to kick the shit out of her when she was already down 🥺

#Izzy sawyer #also a little #Claire Calloway #it’s funny how evil they are to each other considering they are deep down the same person #a stairway to nowhere #this is about my original story & characters but you can certainly tag as your blorbo you know the drill #I fear chapter 4 makes Izzy Carrie White levels of sad #& Claire Chris Hargensen levels of despicable #but. well I personally always sympathize with Chris so hopefully that comes across 🖤🖤🖤🖤#I’m aware only 2 of you are reading this #but I will still post because it’s fun To Me

Art idea I had: female kineceleran with a broken right leg in a big leg cast, but she got it signed by Ben 10 as XLR8, so she’s showing it off with pride

This is so cute im sobbing

#i really enjoyed designing the splint/crutch - alien anatomy is always fun to consider #i imagine that their need for speed is irrepressible so they still have a means to maintain it even after injury #thanks for the ask anon!#q&a #art #digital art #digital painting #fanart #ben 10 #ben 10 aliens #ben 10 omniverse #ben 10 alien force #ben 10 fanart #ben 10 xlr8 #xlr8 #kineceleran #end my suffering

screenshot studies from thief, wanted to test out some color + material stuff and thought thief would be a fun subject heavily referenced from my own screenshots

#femurs art #thief #thief gold #im planning on making more these are a fun way to explore both my art and to take more time appreciating how thief looks #ive always wanted to be able to emulate lowpoly games in my art so this is a good first start for me #expect more... maybe ill do one per level if i dont run out of steam #thief in specific is great for this sort of thing because ithas these extremely saturated and gaudy color combos and so it makes me conside #palettes id never use before #im also testing out a new pixel brush so this is like 4 levels of new to me

Dazai, seventeen, shaking Odasaku, crying and throwing up because Chuuya held his hand again and his skin burns and his hands feel tingly and his heart is beating too fast and oh my god is he allergic to Chuuya? Is he dying? Ango stop laughing and help me!

Chuuya, seventeen, screaming and crying to Kouyou after having his nth dream where he's a prince and Dazai is his princess and fucking hell it's black magic isn't it? Or was he cursed by some evil sorcerer? Ane san do something!

#they're both equally stupid my lord #we always make fun of dazai but have we considered chuuya being the same?#dazai: giggles #chuuya: my heart... my heart did a thing what is this... am I having a heart attack #they're so silly #bsd #skk #soukoku

You know what's hilarious, if Ludinus was indeed a young man being traumatized by the end of the Calamity. Deirta Thelyss is almost certainly older than he is.

This is not relevant but I think Essek should bring this up, just to be a bitch about it.

#for the purposes of showing my work: a beacon was found by leylas kryn 1200 years ago.#she was considered enough of a cultural leader or influence to convince people to follow her ergo likely an adult of some standing.#the other umavi of the ruling dens (aka deirta and abrianna) are suggested to have been around at the time as well #ludinus would be at most 1000 years old. they're all like. at LEAST 1400 mentally if not physically.#and that's the LOW estimate #as always how long was the calamity. are the umavi actually pre-calamity. that would be SO funny to me.#(pre-calamity and pre-divergence are different for the record.)#ludinus da'leth ain't SHIT #leylas kryn escaped lolth lived through the calamity and has gone through seven rebirths. ludinus WISHES #if ANYONE deserves to have beef with lolth it's leylas kryn for the record. I mean she does. canonically. BUT HERS IS MOST VALID #anyway as always the dynasty best country <3 #if there are 99 ludinus haters I'm one of them if there's one it's me if there are none I've left this earth etc etc #he's just SO fun to hate and I do not respect him in the slightest nor do I think he deserves respect or validation.#I think he should get fucking sucked into a dark star and never be heard from again xoxo :3 #cr spoilers #essek thelyss
