I should probably be doing other stuff, but I'm always a sucker for this meme.

Post a line / snippet from all the WIPs you have cluttering up your hard drive.

( 1. River Tam/X-23, Love on a Battlefield: 'But this wasn't a fight. Not the kind The Captain and Zoe shared, the fights with glory and meaningful deaths where you would steal the sergeant's funny moustache afterward. This was a slaughter -- and an act of mercy.' )

I wish to hear more of #1.

TF2 icon with Gorillaz stylin'.

I liked it, great at getting across the voice of River's crooked brain, though could have done better without repetition of "corpsified".

Ahhh, that explains why the icon looked a bit off. And yeah, I agree. I was going to snip one of those "corpsified" bits, but since I never finished the fic, I never got around to editing it... etc, etc.

Awww, well, it's nothing personal. It's just that I really haven't been keeping track with LJ stuff in -- uh, quite a while. Probably ever since college started getting really hectic.

I don't have more of that specific scene, but I do have a bit more from that fic (or... what was going to be that fic).

It began with five words. “I want to say thanks.” It was followed by five more. “Uh, do I know you?”

The redheaded guy - suit and tie, ironed, freshly polished shoes - smiled. The guy with the white strikes in his hair (shut up, it was natural) - hoodie and shorts, wrinkled, barefoot - blinked. Rubbed his eyes. It was far too early and bright outside for him to deal with this. “Uhm, look. I know there's a lot of weird rumors about this place, and you guys very anti-Satan and that is... that is great, because that guy is a jerk. But I'm not interested in--”

“I'm not a missionary, I'm a patient.” Reilly Tyne facepalmed. “Remember? You were in my head. It was very crowed. You complained when I gave you an assist. A lot ( ... )

Very cute. I hope you do more of it sometime, it looks like it's shaping up to be a great story.
