angearia's started this again - and I haven't done it for more than a year, so...

1.) Go to my fic list and pick out a line or two from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please -- no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense ( Read more... )

Here's one:

He was there the night of the storm that nearly destroyed their wheat crops, sitting quietly and listening to every crack of thunder.

That's Grim Destiny, after Rapunzel leaves her mother.

(Good choice! I was all "Wheat crops? Huh? Why would Sunnydale be growing wheat?")

Darn! I did not stump you! *goes off and cries*

Okay, I'm gonna do a couple for you:

1. “Nothing? Not even a pair of sixes?”

2. Strange, how much difference half an inch could make.

3. He crossed to her, and put his hands around her waist, pulling her closer. “Didn’t you enjoy the party?”

I'll be very impressed if you get them all right! :D

That first one is tricky... I think it's The Very Secret Diary of Andrew Wells.

Number 2 is definitely Falling Into Shadow, with Catherine's shoes. (And it really does sound dirty out of context.)

And I'm pretty sure the last is After the Party.

angearia August 23 2010, 00:39:12 UTC

BRILLIANT! You got all three!

LOL, the second one is naughty out of context, isn't it? See, I thought the first one would be easy since that's one of your most popular fics.

deird1 August 23 2010, 00:42:15 UTC

It's also one of the earliest ones. Hard to remember the detail of everything from back then.

angearia August 23 2010, 00:49:26 UTC

Let's go again!

He finished, and she sat up and grabbed the whiskey again.

deird1 August 23 2010, 00:51:02 UTC

Whoa. Um...

The only one I can think of is The Slow Slip Into Wonderful Nothing, because of the whiskey. Am I right?

angearia August 23 2010, 00:53:37 UTC

YEP! Well done!

Silence fell; the two of them sitting there, wondering what would come next. And she was right - it was hard to know what to say.

deird1 August 23 2010, 01:03:40 UTC

Ack!

I think that might be Pancakes Again. (And if so, kudos - I spent a few agonising moments certain it was Chao-Ahn in No Words and wondering how on earth she'd known what the other person was saying...)

me_llamo_nic August 23 2010, 01:06:38 UTC

You got it!

“You’re quoting Shakespeare. You.”

deird1 August 23 2010, 20:09:15 UTC

That's Buffy to Faith in Dreaming. :)
