The Rest of It

The new coffee-shop cashier is incredibly hot, and his nametag reads Steaky.

Silk-Covered Steel

Ed wakes up feeling like shit.

Now I'm Nothing

Aboard the passenger shuttle, a pleasant electronic chime rang out, and the doors of all the hypersleep pods opened.

Spiders

There’s a huge black spider building a web just outside the door of Ed’s home.

I'll Make Your Heart Smile

“I set something aside for you,” says the woman who runs Ed’s favorite thrift shop.

Livable

Mom’s trying to play matchmaker again, because of course she is.

I Found You Beautiful

Ed had experienced a lot of weird things working as a DJ, but even by her standards, the Allamby wedding felt a little strange from the beginning.

A Blossom World

Luci: Who’s meeting me at Izzy’s tonight?

Rainbow Whirlpool

Dreams of Ed swept through Stede every night and day, knocking over all his thoughts with the force of a hurricane gale.

The Queen of Hearts

When Elizabeth called her best friend Chris to blow off steam about work, he insisted on taking her out to lunch on Thursday, and she insisted on McDonald’s.

i got tagged by @mxmollusca and @chaotic-neutral-knitter

the ocean

“it’s a storm.”

Kalahari Down

“Ed had this sense about the land, the kind that could serve you real well if you knew how to talk about it, but the same sort that would have you written off as funny in the head if you didn’t.”

Every Snowflake Is Different (Just Like You)

““I don’t mean to be presumptuous, but do you think we could— go back to your place?””

Untitled

“Look.”

Half-Light

“Stede had quite a lot of practice not doing things.”

Anything We Want

“It happens in a thunderstorm, because of course it does, cause it had to be a big, poignant moment that would stick in his bones and pulse along to the rhythm of his heart and never leave him when things got quiet or when things got loud or when things simply were.”

I Want It All

“There’s a ringing in his ears.”

Different Names for the Same Thing

“Stede was well used to the feeling of watching Edward as though from afar, even if they were right next to one another.”

It Wasn’t Me

“"What is your mission?””

Take a Byte

“Ed figured he was well past the point in his life, felt like the internet itself was past the point in its life, where he would find himself googling “hot blond dilfs in my area” and clicking “allow” when the browser prompted for his location.”

i dont feel like theres a pattern here except that i am clearly not afraid to make my opening line nearly an entire paragraph. and also that im not afraid to make it a single word. and also that my opening line for KD still fuuuucks. also kinda fuckin crazy to take stock that i really have that many fics (plus three more) posted. damn.

@ajibooks @scarrletmoon @edsbacktattoo uhhhh anyone else if you see this please do it if you want to and if i tagged you and you dont want to, pretend i didnt

[ID: youtube comment from Hal Sawyer:

My favorite relic English still used everywhere is the word “the” used in phrases like: “the more I look at this, the stranger it seems, or “the bigger they come, the harder they fall”. This “the” is not the article of any noun, it is a different word, a conjunction descended from the old English “þā”, pronounced “tha” which means either “when” or “then”. Back in early Middle English the structure “if - then” had not taken over and if you wanted to express an if - then relationship you said “þā whatever, þā whatever”, meaning “when such-and- such, then such-and-such”. “þā” sounds almost the same as “the” and the spelling of the two converged, but the meaning remained totally different. “the more, the merrier” literally means “when more, then merrier” or “if more, then merrier’; same as centuries ago.
