[meme] first lines

[glossing]

Via dorrie6 and musesfool, the First Lines Meme. In compiling these, I realized I haven't posted real fic since March. Oy. Also, it's worth the agony I expend on first lines; these make me smile.

*is SO tempted*
*wanders off, contemplating*

[glossing]

HEE! Somehow, I'm thinking, if people *do* do this, they'll all go for "Don't even know why you made me come," Dick says and yanks back the bedclothes. We should have a pool.

No pressure, of course, but I'd love to see what you come up with. *kiss*

[jubilancy]

AHAHAHAHA. My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.

[glossing]

And I, for one, am very glad of that fact.

"Don't even know why you made me come," Dick says and yanks back the bedclothes. "You'll just feel guilty about it tomorrow. Didn't they tell you that it doesn't count as gay until you make the other guy come?"

Roy still lies. Now Roy is lying on Dick's bed, and he knows he wants that to be the only truth that matters, but Roy started by lying to Ollie and that habit spread. Dick jams his legs into his jeans, his fingers fumbling like they hadn't just minutes before. Junkie fingers, Roy thinks. He says, "I want it to count."

I love being "forced" to use this icon

Didn't they tell you that it doesn't count as gay until you make the other guy come?
Oh, *God*.

Damn it, that's all 20K of my Barry/Roy in TEN WORDS. I love/hate/envy you *so much*.

Junkie fingers, Roy thinks. He says, "I want it to count."
YES YES OW.

You're a marvel,

[jubilancy]

I could not be a marvel if not inspired by your marvelousness!

Jubilancy for the *win*.

Oh, Roy. *hugs him*

[caiusmajor]

When they - his friends, his only family - tried to kill him, Zan lay still for a very long time

[glossing]

Aww! You're taking me all the way back to my itty-bitty years.

Or as useful as Aquaman, anyway.
*snugs Zan* *a lot!*

[caiusmajor]

*grins* When I saw the name "Zan" I seriously couldn't resist.

Poor boy gets totally shafted powers-wise. *pets him*

Re: I don't think you read Bujold, do you?

[glossing]

...I've never read the Vorkosigan books, but I *mean* to, and this just cements that resolution. This is enthralling.

Thank you!

Re: I don't think you read Bujold, do you?

[rubynye]

This is made of WIN.

Gloss, the Vorkosigan books, especially the later ones, gave me my love of identity issues.

Re: I don't think you read Bujold, do you?

[glossing]

(Do you know jadelennox? She is *totally* made of win. And in your fair city!)

I have much love for Bujold's Falling Free, and keep an eye out for the V. books whenever I'm browsing. You're strengthening an already Wakandan-vibranium strong resolve. :D

[glossing]

!!!!
Oh, I love this - I love these two together *so much*, and you've captured their push-pull, never-be-too-serious dynamic so well.

Thanks, lovely!
