First Line Game Tag

I was tagged by @theshinsun.

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

1. Flowers Come Out Of My Grave [wip] -  In the garden of Olympus, under a pink tree, Aomine lays in the shade, shining a golden apple on his tunic.

2. She's So Nice [wip] - “Apologize to me.”

3. Fuck Boys in America [wip] -  Kagami went and did something stupid.

4. Neighborhood Outreach - Garou’s gone again.

5. That Which You Know - If you’d told Aomine a year ago all the things that would go down over the course of this summer, he would’ve told you to go pound sand.

6. Once... - Once upon a time, there was a golden city.

7. What You Leave Behind - Kagami can remember the exact moment he first met Aomine.

8. The Boy in the Cage - Kagami’s had his hands tied for the last three days.

9. The Thing You Can't Replace - So, he and Kagami have actually gotten to be pretty good friends.

10. Eyes in the Woods - It’s school break, and that means Badd and Zenko have plans.

I don’t see much of a pattern other than I seem to like using opening lines that are either short or sarcastic.

Tagging: I think everyone I know has already been tagged.

All I want for Christmas is you.          

[sturlsons]

B, F, G, K, O

hi!! i hope you’re doing well

B: any of your stories inspired by personal experience? 

i don’t think i’ve ever based the plot of a story on something that happened to me, but 80% of the emotional situations in my fic are variations of real emotions i’ve felt. that being said, some scenes are just straight up lifted off my own life. tsukki and that hangover in jaywalkers (that whole mcdonald’s story is old now), when kuroo tells tsukki to take a shower in heretic, two scenes that come to mind first. other character backstories are often based on mine, just, not everything all at once. someone nearly gets killed in an accident, someone else loses family in one. etcetera. can’t go heaping all the angst on just one person, it’s not conducive to telling a clean story. on a lighter note, any stupid ass thing any character does was probably done by me or my friends in real life. 

F: share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

hmmmmmm. i’ve written some dialogue here and there that made me go HA when i wrote it but the one i can remember off the top of my head (i’m using “top off my head” as a general rule here otherwise i’ll start rereading all my fic and no one needs that) is this one from movers and shakers:

‘I somehow chased you down to this cafe after eight years,’ Youichi says. ‘I don’t know how that happened, but I’ll do it again. I will.’

‘Don’t make this about you,’ Ryousuke sighs, and he’s back to normal, eyes cold and voice cold, the combination that’s always gotten things done. ‘Because the extent to which it is not is going to be embarrassing for both of us.’

and i love it because like i don’t think i’ve ever delivered that sick of a burn in my entire life. THERE’S LEVELS TO IT. and i was like, 20 when i came up with it. i was so proud of myself. it’s so hurtful and cutting and humiliating. classic. 

G: do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write your scenes out of order?

i’m gonna say that a lot of my stories are born from one key scene (not even the climax most of the time) so i usually jot that down first, dialogue or bits of lines or whatever. once i have a plot i usually go chronologically because unless the narration is nonlinear it’s just a bitch to go back and edit in details in retrospect. that being said sometimes a scene is like tugging at my brain so hard that i just decide to write it down first to file it away and get back to work. i usually know the last line of a fic the moment i write the first one, because i almost always come full circle. it’s just one of those things about me that a highbrow critic would probably shit on as being Too Predictable. that being said, i haven’t the faintest how Big Boy is gonna end. never had an idea for s;b either. i hope that means good news. 

K: what’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

Big Boy. :^) 

O: how do you begin a story - with the plot or with the characters?

good one. neither. 99% of the time the story starts with a song that i hear in the right place at the right time, and then the prompt and characters come in together. then i, hating myself and my pea-sized brain throughout the process, begin to plot.

For a Skytown character, either Delgado or Jerri. Love me some scaly boys. ^^

Jerri is a sweetheart and needs more art love from me.

theshinsun replied to your post “apparently aomine’s birthstone is sapphires so where are all of the...”

wait isn't his birthstone a peridot since he was born in August?

Well depending on who you talk to your birthstone will be different. Like June has been said to be both moonstones and pearls, and as for August (*quickly googles*) apparently Sardonyx is also one. However, since I was making zodiac posts at the time, I was referring to zodiac birthstones. Going by those measures, Leos (Jul23-Aug21) are peridot while Virgos (Aug22-Sep23) are sapphires. You can see why they’d be skewed, since zodiacs cut months in half ^_^’’

As for me, I like the idea of sapphires being Aomine’s birthstone because it matches his hair and eyes so he’d look pretty in them *heart eyes* but you could also say peridot if you wanted. That was a good catch though! I can’t keep track of birthstones at all, so I had to look them up. X3

Kuroko: Does Kagami-kun think in English or Japanese?

Himuro: Bold of you to assume Taiga thinks.

[original-character-archives]

Name: Cecil Age & Date of birth: Immortal being, technically has no age, several hundred years old at least. Species: Celestial angel (from another dimension/outer space kinda, it’s a little unclear what they actually are) Gender: Agender, zi/zir Orientation: Pansexual, panromantic

Biography: Cecil is a “fallen angel” condemned to banishment on Earth after sneaking away from zir nebulous home realm to live out a mortal lifetime, and falling in love with a human woman (treated like a casual, impulsive decision, like a one-night-stand, where zi comes from). The caveat of zir punishment is that zi can’t physically or emotionally touch another person without being chased by pain and misfortune afterwards. In spite of this, zi eventually meets another mortal on Earth – a philosopher, and a man this time – and falls in love again, for better or worse.

Appearance: Pale, almost translucent skin even in human form, choppy, unevenly-shorn off silvery hair, normally blue eyes (can change color with mood), large black wings that were once clear/white before zi was banished, and that can’t be seen by (most) mortals.

Personality: ISFP, true neutral.Cynical and nihilistic, rather bitter and defeatist after zir banishment. Still fascinated, however, by the fragility and, at times, futility of life, and by human bonds and emotions.

Favourite & Least Favourite things:Appreciates, but doesn’t quite understand human art and emotional expression, likes to observe from afar and gather information at zir own pace, and enjoys the beauty and unpredictable behavior of the natural world. Dislikes restrictions and structure, and absolutely despises “just because” logic, and those who assume they know better just because they are older/higher ranking.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Strengths: perceptive and quick to learn, a focused data-hoarder and logic-driven thinker with a vast, inhuman capacity for memorization and comprehension. Weaknesses: rather emotionally detached and withdrawn from others, rebellious, cocky, and impulsive with a tendency to jump to conclusions and fail to consider consequences for zir words and actions.

Additional notes: This OC was intended to be part of a bigger story, but the whole thing is still up in the air, and really vague in terms of plot and characters. But if nothing else, Cecil is a compelling character, and kind of relaxing and fun to draw.

“You’re such a little shit, you know?! Is it still fun?” He laughs, keeping Newt firm underneath him. Then he realizes they’ve never been this close before, close enough for him to count the freckles on his nose and cheek bones, and stops, pulling back carefully.

Newt doesn't like that, apparently. He flips Thomas on the bed, now sitting on his hips with the most feral grin Thomas has ever seen. “Yes Tommy, it’s very fun, actually,” he challenges, keeping his wrists mattress on the bed above his head.

I was tagged by @runn0ft and @fancykraken (Thank you for thinking of me, I love you guys so much!!! <3) to post seven -ish sentences from my current WIP and tag seven others. It’s been a while since I wrote anything but I found this in my KnB folder and I really want to finish this someday, the only AoMomo piece I’ve ever written yet? (spoilers: it’s not a happy ending)

‘Do you accept?’

‘Do I accept what?’ Daiki snorted, earning a sympathetic chuckle out of him.

‘Will you be Satsuki’s man of honor?’

He hated how Tetsu was allowed to call her that now.

He hated the whole situation, but most of all – most of all, he hated how comfortably Tetsu claimed her first name like that. It was such an intimate display of their bond, something Daiki grew hesitant to showcase over time. He was fine until Satsuki kissed him one night, and begged him to just try to be together. ‘Satsuki’ was just a name until then, but suddenly, it became so much more.

I’m tagging @grandebagliore @bakugoukatsuki-rising @geometricalien @homiro  @vanilla-daydreams @hkbs-world @theshinsun and @drinkablecoffee and everyone else who’d like to do it!

[choking-on-roses]

First Line Game

@theshinsun tagged me because I’m starting to think this is how y’all are loopholing fic content out of me lol.

Numbers 5 through 20 are wips, so these aren’t necessarily first lines and more the first line that’s in the document.

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

[DGM] Two for One:  Allen hopped from the crowded train and onto the platform with a giant leap and skipped merrily across the wooden planks to the carriage that would take him back to the place he now called “Home”.

[SPN] These Days of Dust Will Blow Away:  It’s two days after Dean dies that you find it.

[KnB] There's a Time and a Place:  “Daiki…”

[KnB] Bank Shot:  Aomine thinks it was adrenaline that spurred him on.

[KnB] Shafted (excerpt): Sometimes a tiny spark—and it’s a very, very miniscule and spiteful spark, but it’s there all the same—of resentment towards the trauma staff that pulled him back from the precipice of death ignites in the back of Kagami’s mind.

[KnB] Picky Furry Fucker (same verse as #5): “I’m home—what the fuck is wrong with your face?”

[KnB] Single dad!Kagami: He’s had enough of tall, tan, and jackass for the rest of his life.

[KnB] witcher!Aokaga part 1: Aomine comes to feeling like absolute shit and thinks that death would have been the kinder option.

[KnB] witcher!Aokaga part 2: “Talented as you are, I don’t think you have the magical capacity to set him ablaze with your eyes alone,” Kagami says from over his shoulder, a chalice of wine materializing in Aomine’s peripheral before Aomine sees Kagami himself.

[KnB] witcher!Aokaga part 3: Aomine almost doesn’t recognize him when he spots Kagami standing at the tavern bar, broad back still clad in armor and turned towards the doorway Aomine’s just entered through.

[KnB] Aokaga ranch!AU: It’s stupid, Kagami thinks, that he let himself fall into such an obvious setup.

[KnB] hanahaki!Aokaga: Kagami is fully aware that he’s a little bit of an idiot sometimes.

[KnB] I Wanna Fuck You A Latte (aggressive coffee shop AU): Kagami watches Aomine make the bubbly blond’s drink, actually make it himself, and deliberately brush his fingers along Rich Boy’s knuckles after he completely bypasses Kagami to personally deliver the obnoxiously complicated latte.

[KnB] Love Me Tender (ABO but spitefully): “Are you fucking shitting me?” Aomine hisses, hastily yanking three of his fingers out of his asshole and wiping them dry on his bare thigh.

[KnB] Murphy’s Law (sequel to #3):  Leaning back on the heel of his palm, Aomine takes a moment to appreciate his handiwork, his other hand adhered to his husband’s bare ass underneath his boxer briefs.

[KnB] mute!Kagami: Taiga may be kind of young, but he isn’t stupid.

[KnB] Aokaga w/mechanic!Aomine:  Kagami’s calves were starting to burn from the strain, but he couldn’t stop himself from trying rise higher, bringing himself as close to standing on the tips of his toes as he could manage.

[KnB] Aokaga Pacific Rim AU: He’s watching his mom laugh through his dad’s eyes when the hazy blue of the Drift abruptly turns red and her laughter becomes something shrill and inhuman.

[KnB] Skip Class, Eat Ass: Aomine wakes with his ass bared and freezing.

[Gintama] GinHiji where Gintoki has a secret admirer: “Zenzou-san likes fuglies,” Shinpachi remarks ruthlessly, adding his suggestion to Gintoki’s growing list of potential admirers without breaking eye contact.

The only patterns I see are the inability to finish anything and curse words. I don’t know, what do y’all see? Also, I’m open to questions about any of these if you have ‘em.

Tagging: @ruluxe (I know you tagged yourself but I’m squeezing you for more if you want to), @whoevenknowsit, and anyone else who wants in on the action.

Can I ask for Delgado in The Sweetest Chill?

Delado goes into ‘house arrest’ int he winter to avoid death by torpor outside in the cold. He has a fire rock bed, built like a brick woodstove with a mattress on top. By keeping the fire fed the bed stays warm and allows him to stay warm throughout the winter. And while he’s stuck inside its time to catch up on reading.

[bakugoukatsuki-rising]

[incorrectknb]

Aomine: Eating chips with chopsticks is unironically galaxy brain. Your fingers don’t get greasy and it lasts longer!

Kagami: Fork.

Aomine: Oh yeah, I’m gonna stab my crunchy foods and make them fall apart like an absolute absent-minded dunce, fool, clown, jester, like a monstrous moron, an idiot of Shakespearean proportions, a CRETIN!
