#sentence game

[friendofcarlotta]

I don't usually participate in tumblr games because I'm Shy, but I also can't deny @whoipretended2b anything, so here we are.

So here are my six sentences:

“Too much heart,” Alfred told him. “That’s your problem, Castiel.”

Two days later, Alfred was dead.

And still, Castiel’s heart feels too heavy to carry inside him sometimes. Heavy for Alfred, for all the others who died, and for Dean, who is fighting another war on the other side of the world. 

Who may never know the extent to which Castiel loves him.

This is for a WIP I am planning to serial-post this fall! It's about 10k currently and will likely be between 40k and 50k when finished. The plot for it was born out of a historical tidbit I learned recently, which is that pinball games were banned from the 1940s to the 1970s in New York City, Prohibition-style raids and all. So of course I decided to write an angsty historical epic about it.

Six other people I would love to see six sentences from:

@wanderingcas @valleydean @dothwrites @darcydelaney @salamitsunami1 @imaginaryprotagonist

Rules: color the sentence that’s true for you.

Oh god, you also write Ghoap, you're, like, my favorite person 😂 now, lemme think of a word...

Blatant?

Ooooo, surprisingly no! I have not used blatant in my Ghoap fic yet.

Send me a word and I'll post a sentence from one of my wips that includes that word!

I'm cheating but I don't care.

Mattdrai - "yet" 😏

GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

how can i choose just one? Because I fucking KNOW you mean one of these bad boys:

Leon tries to twist again, but Matthew’s got leverage and a clear agenda. “You’re fucking insufferable,” he mutters, craning his head just enough to glare at him. “And yet,” Matthew breathes, close and sticky-hot against his upper back, “you’re letting me.”

It was actually so hard to choose, so as the person who has enabled me with this ridiculous story, you get two.

It’s not a shutout, but it’s their third loss in a row, they’re on the verge of getting swept in the Western Conference Final at home and Leon has nothing to show for the game except yet another negative plus/minus, two penalty minutes, and an ankle that is probably killing him.

actually three, because I have 89 "yet"s to choose from and you're as insane about this as I am. from THAT scene 👀

Instead, because he also wants to see where Matthew takes this, he baits. “You’re insufferable.” “And yet,” Matthew’s smirk just grows. Turns dangerous. “You want me.”

Send me a word and I'll post a few sentences from one of my wips that includes that word!

and have a tiny little bit of foreshadowing

(This is for my sentence game happening over on my writing blog @mare--noctis)

Favorite Sentence Whenever

I was tagged by the lovelies @notyourmamasdeerbat @guacamolleee and @broodwoof

Do I have to admit now that I have not written that much yet(read here two chapters on my Ao3)? Maybe :) That's why you will also get two WIPs and some of my Thedasweekend works, bc I am actually quite proud of how much I am evolving as a writer.

I am tagging @ollypopwrites, @thequeenofthewinter, @caughtnyact and @veil-song

The scared boy

"She presses a soft kiss to his forehead and silently vows to keep both of them safe: the scared boy and the curious professor."

-> This is the first chapter of my post-Fade Emmrook fic that evolved from the wish to take care of Emmrich to an exploration of their relationship

The lonely girl

"If you still wish for me by then, as I selfishly hope, I will be:

- Eternally yours,

Siobhan"

-> Second (yet unpublished chapter) but I am so very proud of how that manages to be both a sentence and the end of a letter. I felt really smart when I wrote that. This chapter is angst, hurt/comfort and also what moments I think made Emmrich fall for her

From the yet unnamed Emmlich fic:

"Safe, safe. Oh, so very safe in his arms. Protected and beloved; bejeweled and adored. Some part of her yearns for it."

-> This is a dark timeline exploration/Dark gothic horror romance. What would bring out the messier, traumatized parts in them and how/in what way would that story end?

I want to be your only pet (I want to let go and forget)

"With a pang of regret the Druid tried to say something soothing- He did not mean to steal the sun from her eyes."

-> My Baldurs Gate 3 Halsin/Tav one-shot inspired from the VA's Halsin Playlist. Unbeta'd and wild and free.

Now bc I think the weekly writing has done me some good, I'll also give you some of my thedasweekend prompts bc I am really proud of some of them

Your bed is more comfortable than mine

As the three of them fall asleep, entangled in each other, murmuring confessions of love and whispered kisses upon sweaty skin, they all know that any bed is better when they are together.

-> Neverookanis

Laying a gentle kiss to the back of the others hand

And when Emmrich says that he is a good man and brushes his lips against Lucanis crow hands, he almost believes he can be.

-> Emmcanis

"Promise you'll be here when i wake up tomorrow?" "I promise."

And as the girl she once was takes the boys hands, she feels the adults peacefully fall asleep again; safe in each others embrace.

-> Emmrook

I haven't stopped thinking about the way you laugh

Their short lived relationship was naive and nerve wrecking and Irelin has never tasted anything sweeter.

-> Bellara/Irelin

It's who we are

Emmrich took his quill and parchment like a soldier takes a sword and shield and went to battle.

-> Emmrook Angst

👴🏻 truck

Admittedly the word truck is used about 8 times in a very short amount of time in this one so I'm just gonna give a short snippet from the wayne pov section

“So I’ll be fine in my Nikes?” Steve clarifies. “Better than.” Wayne turns back to the truck bed. “I grabbed an extra pole for ya, but it’s a bit short. We can make it work, though.” Steve stares at everything piled into the truck. Wayne stares at Steve. He can’t read him quite like he can read Eddie, not yet, but he’s got a feeling that Steve’s overwhelmed by the effort. Wayne doesn’t know much about his upbringing, but he can imagine it was pretty lonely what with his parents being gone more than they were home.  He’s certain Richard Harrington wouldn’t even know how to cast a line, let alone catch a fish.  “Wayne! Should I just bring both?” Eddie’s standing barefoot on the top step of the deck, holding two pairs of sneakers up.  “Sure, Ed.” Wayne looks down at his bare feet and wrinkles his nose. “Don’t forget your socks.” “Does he do that a lot?” Steve asks, still staring at everything in the truck.

and i wrote three sentences for my bang fic after this one because i'm sharing so much so extra thank you

play the bang game

[thefangirlingdead]

Okay, I'm not doing any new prompts for the moment because I've got the writing bug for the next mattdrai fic I'm working on (YAY). BUT, to make me excited to keep writing more, even when it's a pain in the ass:

send me a word, and I'll post a sentence from this fic so far that includes that word!
