First sentences tag game!
I've been tagged by @dragonfire42 and @beerok23 to participate in this, so here we go. But I'm tossing in cover images or illustrations, too, and I'm also cheating a little and using more than one sentence on occasion, because I do what I want đ
First sentences of my 10 most recent fics!
What Might Have Been (25.7k, rated G) â this is my Good Omens finale rewrite! Six episodes, actual closure, come and be healed.
[THE GREAT FIRMAMENT. Vast and largely empty, strewn with distant galaxies and nebulae like jewels discarded in haste during a robbery.
2. The Mayfair Library Cop (16.7k, rated E) â human AU one-shot, part of a prompt challenge on my Discord server.
The first time was a mistake.
3. Abide With Me (56.5k, rated M) â human AU, seven chapters, the only time I've ever used the "angst with a happy ending" tag (because normally I haaaate spoiling the ending in the tags).
When the bicycle died, he knew he was in trouble.
4. What I Never Said (95.9k, rated M) â human AU, written for FTH 2025. Exploration of the consequences of the US military's infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
5. In His Hand a Burning Coal (516.8k, rated E) â human AU in college marching band, the apple of my eye đĽ°
August is a shitty time for busking.
6. Psalm 19:10 (12.4k, rated E) â canon-character AU, fun and lovely little smut vehicle.
The lights dimmed briefly before returning to full brightness, which still wasnât very brightâa soft light from yellowed bulbs, far more conducive to sidles and murmurs and intrigues than to hearty greetings and demonstrative conversation.
7. Jingle Heaven: Christmas Night (2.1k, rated T) â human AU, a brief sequel to my Naked and Afraid: Jingle Hell, which is the transcript of an episode of reality TV. They meet for the first time stark naked, what more could you want?
Tired. Bone-tired. A level of tired he hadnât even known could existâway, way beyond anything heâd ever experienced before.
8. Twenty-Five Lazarii (32.5k, rated T) â canon-character AU, a silly/emotional potential season 3 thing (before the actual finale destroyed our lives). IT HAS NO ILLUSTRATIONS đ so here, have a set of single-line drawings instead.
There is no darkness in Heaven.
9. Go Out with a Bang (8.2k, rated E) â canon-character AU, a gift for my dear @suzypfonne, yes the title is a pun so you can guess where this is going.
London was burning.
And Crowley was tired.
10. Find Every Sky (48.8k, rated T) â human AU crossover event! You're only allowed to read this one if you've read Every Damn Day, Find the Light, and Sky Clear Blue. A very fun and sweet (and not canon for anyone involved) crossover where they all get to meet and SHENANINGANS ENSUE. I've got a sequel to this one planned for next year đ
When the thunder rolled overhead, AJ gunned the engine in response, and laughed.
I'm terrible at tagging people, so absolutely anyone who wants to participate in this can do so, and say that I tagged you. I'll totally play along.
