Last line
Rules: Share the last line you wrote for a WIP.
I was tagged by @fezzle and @exploding-snapple -- thank you both! Yeesh, tumblr, I am exhausted. After a very long run of fic-writing it’s been like, a decade in corona-years since I wrote any fic. BUT. I happen to have my WIP from last NaNoWriMo, and that totally counts, yes?
So this is kind of a cheat because it’s not a last line so much as a last dialogue exchange, I guess. Also, I’m not really sure it’s the last thing I wrote, but close enough (it’s actually from the second chapter(ish)).

He grinned at her in what he probably thought was a charming way. Amy stared back impassively. “Just remember who’s carrying the gun.”
The grin slid off his face, and Amy enjoyed it.
The story is called “World’s got me dizzy again” and sadly, it will probably never see AO3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But hey, maybe I’m wrong!
