ten first lines
Rules: Share the first line of ten of your most recent fanfics and then tag ten people. Don't have ten? Not to worry, just share what you have.
tagged by the lovely @the--highlanders (whose fics I am reminded I suuuuper need to catch up on)
1. Paths, Present & Future
Jamie stared up at the mountain before him.
2. Small Hours in a Wide Universe
The Doctor groped around above his head until his fingers met the lip of the control panel, and pulling on it, he levered himself up to his feet.
3. Your Life Begins By Leaving (and our love is shown in the letting go)
Jamie had left him by the sea, when he went to speak to Victoria.
4. Recruitment
There were very few times when the Doctor forgot why he’d run away from Gallifrey in the first place, and this was definitely not one of them.
5. Wedding Colors
The room was white.
6. I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons)
The Doctor knelt on the ground in front of the door, fighting with the length of wire he was trying to use to pick the lock.
7. Under Alien Stars
Jamie sat on the flat stone ledge and shivered, pressing his knees together and pulling the heavy blanket tighter around his shoulders.
8. Visitation Rights
“I was told,” Zoe persisted, ducking under the rope that divided the queues and continuing to address the man at the desk through his neighbor’s window now, “that this hospital was a model of efficiency and organization – ‘A shining beacon for the modern era on Selarsus.’”
9. Itemized
. . . Item: 15.6 carvos of ter-lan cable; Item: 12 standard ob. cases of Bernalium . . . The Doctor stood on a flat outcrop of rock a little way down the slope from where the Tardis had landed, nodding along with the foreman beside him but only half-listening as he pointed out different areas of the work site below them.
10. So Merrily We’ll Sing
“Jamie?” The Doctor had only pressed his fingers lightly against the door to their room, but the Tardis allowed it to swing inward at his touch.
Hmm, maybe I don’t think about opening lines as much as I ought to, but the one from Recruitment at least is a pretty good one, even all on its own! (and look at me catfishing everyone with some pretty short opening lines for a couple of these lol)
tagging @seismologically-silly @terryfphanatics and whoever else writes things? I’m blanking a bit ngl, but don’t let my distractedness be an obstacle for you
#im calling everything an#ask game#from now on i think#this is probably a#tag game#though technically#(& i feel the need to clarify this every time i talk about it by name - but yes i know that's not what visitation rights actually means)#(it just became what my brain called that fic the whole time it was a wip & i couldnt process referring to it as anything else)

the curse of summer is buying and eating an inadvisable amount of fruit in single sittings.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

Yall ever think about how Ford had to relearn how to be a normal human being after 30 years of isolation
#notes:#Stan was trying to haggle with what is effectively a 7eleven employee... Because they didn't have the money for it#and also because Stan and his money anxiety... ☹️Ford probably has had to fight for scant resources and kiII for less...#Both of them need to get mental help and realise that it's okay#and that it's safe now.#You have money... And you no longer need to fight for everything you have#gravity falls#ford pines#grunkle ford#stan pines#grunkle stan#stanford pines#stanley pines

this is problematic of me (joke) but i really enjoy the splashing of french into english speech or writing. just adds a pizzazz
#im fetishing the french language#i mean this is not a new thing and the reasons probably have to do with a long held idea of france being particularly enlightened#or whatever kinda racist shit but it does sound pleasant nonetheless

Currently thinking about how much Ford tries to hide his hands a lot when he can…behind his back with this stance. Due to how often he’s been bullied for it.
And also, how Mabel is one of the ones who Ford feels happy about showing his hands to because she thought they were cool looking upon first shaking his hand, instead of him being judged for his six fingers.
[ID: Gravity Falls screenshots. The first three are of Ford with his hands crossed behind his back. The last two are of him shaking hands with Mabel, and letting her paint a turkey on his hand. He's smiling in both. End ID.]
#Ford and Mabel defender for life#This probably isn’t much but idc I LOVE them sm#Ford being insecure about his hands :((#I’m making myself sad too#gravity falls#stanford pines#mabel pines#gravity falls lost legends#If I think about Ford too much I’ll explode#ramblings#Either this or he’s autistic

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter’s Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier’s garb under a doorway at Pompeii)
#edward poynter#art#faithful until death#Pompeii#Do I think this man was actually ~standing guard until death~? unlikely. he probably just succumbed to the smoke early#do i think this is a devastating representation of the actual last moments of thousands of people? absolutely#it’s such a good painting

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
#who cares if its platonic love who fucking CARES if its because they wanna kiss like the devotion and the tenderness is there no matter what#mainly brought to you by: jack and anne from black sails but also probably sydcarmy and msr#sydcarmy#msr#rackhanne#the bear#black sails#txf#the x files#mulder x scully#sydney x carmy#jack rackham x anne bonny#oh wait perhaps also theonsa if you squint#maybe not
