Tag game: Share the opening lines of your last 10 fics (you choose how many if you have less than 10) & tag others!
Thank you for the tag, @aquarianshift!
1. Alignment (The Beatles) - “Anyway, it’s hardly queer if one of you looks like the prettiest girl at the party,” John says, one of his fingers brushing upwards against Paul's eyelashes.
2. Speleology (OFMD RPF) - There’s a permeating smell to the windowless room: cigarettes, and jittery performers awaiting their turn.
Bonus! (not a fic): Certified McLennon: a playlist (with receipts) (The Beatles) - How else to begin the narrative but with a genuine Lennon-McCartney cowrite that fired the starting gun on global scale Beatlemania?
3. Politic (Succession) - “...Oh, and this dinner thing is going to clash with a meeting I set up with that congressman, so I’m sending you instead.”
4. such as is common to man (Succession) - “What happened here,” Mencken says, gesturing at it, lip curling.
5. horny dreck (four stars) (Succession) - A heartwarming sports comedy about a billionaire’s son who accidentally buys his dad the wrong soccer team, but grows to love the lads anyway.
6. what rough beast (Succession) - At 3 a.m. in the dark, half of the highest proof bottles from his liquor cabinet festooned across the coffee table, Roman Roy hits send on a nine million dollar donation to the President of the United States.
7. the orgasm olympics (Succession) - “Tom?”
8. Suite (OFMD RPF) - “Actually, I started reading this short story once by some fucking racist Victorian about an ailing immigrant nobody could understand because he only spoke his mother tongue.”
9. Anointed (Succession) - In his father’s vacated hotel suite, Roman lounges tautly, foot restlessly tapping against the couch.
10. Chemistry Test (OFMD RPF) - “Bzzt,” Rhys says in a perfect imitation, pressing the tip of his finger to a distinctly intercomless part of the open doorway to Taika’s office.
(to say I've been jumping around/not been writing much... anyway, I'm locked in on popular band The Beatles right now but I will probably not have any writing time until at least autumn. stay tuned for my 200th AO3 post some time then, beatles yaoi enjoyers!)
(I should really start fics not with dialogue about 90% less often... but you know what I'm not gonna)
