Stolen from
somebraveapollo and in honour of the fact that I've been winning NaNoWriMo so far. Fanfic and original fic all jumbled up together, by the way.
- She doesn't know what it is with gods and not being straightforward but it is rather annoying.
- The man had other things on his mind than dealing with youths that might have been girls or might have been boys or might have been neither.
- There are no bragging rights to be had about bringing about the end of all things.
- And so our story starts with a clash of the ancient and the modern, a clash of the fictional and the factual, but mostly a clash of bumper and knees.
- War turned her into a soldier when she wasn't looking.
- Until the next day, when Tywin goes back to his delusions of fighting crime.
- How fucked up is her life that she wishes Doctor Doom were his usual supervillain self?
- By ‘delegation’, read ‘assassin squad’ and by ‘small’ read ‘large’.
- Then Batgirl went away and the world ended.
- And inside her head, her thoughts ticked away, tick-tock, until she found what she was looking for, tick-tock, ding.
- It would not be the first time a spirit found legends about themselves to be hilarious.
- What they don't tell you about immortality is: everyone you love dies and then you miss them forever, because that's all the time you have to miss them in.
- The thing about the Holy Grail is that it isn't, strictly speaking, a cup.
- That, of course, is when everything goes to shit and the other alien empire shows up.
- The god of death, the god of thunder and the god of the dark had a favour to ask of the girl in the forest.
- "We buried him," Embla says, because it's better than saying she killed him (but no less true).
- They don't have the friendliest of relationships, Setesh and the Morrigan, but they have known each other for thousands of years and that counts for something.
- Worst of all, she remembers the way they wore her siblings’ faces.
- “You’re not going to kill me.”
- Lola is a crow in human form.
- “And the noises he makes when he dies, I swear, he does it on purpose just to spite me!”
- She kissed him to his death, once.
- She travels into Hell for him, because he’s a friend and she left him alone in the dark.
- Nyx settles down and does not pick a card, any card.
- Scipio sets #BattleOfZama to trending on purpose.
- That's how Darcy enters Doctor Doom's notice and, simultaneously, his good graces.
- “It’s a bit drab, don’t you think?”
- No one's lived there since Rendell left and that was - almost precisely as long as Luke was dead.
- Tommy hasn’t told anyone about how fast he can run yet.
- (Truth be told, had she known, she would have done the same thing.)
- "Teddy, we need to talk about your secret-keeping skills," Kate says.
- She is the Doom that came to Latveria.
- He was her friend and she wasn’t about to kill him just because someone said to.
- Parker lands and the world shifts sideways.
- When he's done passing out, he has no idea where he is, buthe does know exactly how fast he's going and because he's a physicist, he finds that hilarious.
- I had met him one night when I was at Fairy-fingers El’s waiting for her to re-attach my arm that had been torn off after a bad run-in with a pack of wolves (ordinary wolves, not werewolves).
- "Next time you try to kill someone I care about, I'll make sure to be timely in my revenge."
- If they did have gods, they would be the gods of fire and charcoal, nuclear waste and cloud factories, electricity and information.
- Ask doesn’t seem bothered by her new murderer status, but she doesn’t seem bothered by Niels’ murderer status either, so it probably says more about Ask than Embla.
