@katnissdoesnotfollowback threw down a ‘Ten Last Lines’ challenge after the initial round of ‘20 First Lines’ that sounded like fun! -- Thank you to @jennagill for tagging all of us.
If you did the first lines challenge, consider yourself tagged for the last lines!
Her Rules: Post the final line of the last 10 fics you have completed.
OK. I’m going with 10 fics in order of last update/completion date. I also left out my Poe/Seuss cross-over and kept it Hunger Games only.
Six out of ten of my fics end in dialogue. I like dialogue at the end, it seems. The rest are short-ish sentences. I went back to three more stories and found one action sentence and two more pieces of dialogue. Huh. Who knew? Also, I’m having one of those nights where reading my own stuff makes me want to cry, pull my hair out, and run from the room. Just as an aside.
I love a good, smart closing line and strive for that in my fics: something with wit and wry humor. Something memorable.
Kindergarten: “Honey, what a great idea! Let’s go ask him!”
Welcome to Sr. Fromage’s: So much for the second-happiest-fucking-place on earth.
The Talk: “Goodnight, Peeta,” she whispers and kisses him on the temple, “I’m so glad we had this talk.”
Girls’ Night Out: “Now, about that bed...”
Laundry: Her eyes twinkled mischievously when she asked, "Are we going to need to do laundry tonight? Maybe I'll keep them on."
Hit Me With Your Best Shot: "Good," she murmured before tugging his lips down to hers.
Honky Tonk: Katniss Everdeen: Room 192. I'll be wearing a matching jersey. And nothing else.
Raked Leaves: Because he's not wasting this chance to lower his lips slowly and gently to hers.
Cold Hands, Warm Heart: "But we are not hanging that picture in our dining room."
Brighter Than Angels: And then her lips met his.
