Rules: share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of the word you’ve been given!
I was tagged by @oldshrewsburyian (thank you!) to use the word FIRST. All of these are from my shiny new Dept Q fic (hello new fandom!) which reached the first draft stage this morning.
F: “Fuck’s sake, if you’re going to introduce Akram as your bodyguard, at least let be him your bodyguard.” I: It was one time, a week before Leith Park. If he was a different man he might believe the bullet was some sort of divine punishment. R: “Right,” Carl says. “Okay.” The elevator rattles. There’s no way Rose and Akram can be back yet. S: Something intimate and soft, and that way lies madness. He’s fucking close enough to the edge there as it is. T: They sit there just fucking gazing at each other, Hardy very loudly still not saying what he’s saying. He’s going to make Carl say it. Bastard.
Tagging @saltwaterandstars, @themisanthropiclycanthrope, @swimmingfoxsticks, @elfin-essy, @iloveyoudie, @patrice-bergerons with the word TOUCH.
TOUCH (from in WiP Part 19 of the fic series, A Sense of Perspective)
T: There’d been a brief argument with Martin, but he’d backed down when Carl told him to think about the sound the snaps made.
O: 'On my way over.'
U: Unless, even with the in-laws, he decides it isn’t worth leaving the warmth of his family home.
C: Carl speaks the same language when their roles are reversed
H: heat of his forehead against James’ shoulder, nonsense whispers falling from his lips
