Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern.
Tagged by @disniq almost a year ago. Whoops. Life has been getting me good lately.
love is miles away (but I'll still wait here for you)—Bane & Talia al Ghul, T
The first sign that Talia’s presence has been noticed is a single dark eye trying its damnedest to focus on her.
spell my name with her tongue—Molly Jensen/Jason Todd, E
Usually Jason thinks it’s fucking hilarious when people assume he and Molly are dating.
with claws and teeth (and white streaks)—Jason Todd/Slade Wilson, E
“You can do better than that,” Slade mutters darkly—his words completely bare of his usual Southern drawl, middle vowels raised into an accent that isn’t his own—before adding a pointed, “bub.”
Under the Hood—Jason Todd/Slade Wilson, E
Jason isn’t usually like this.
Lapdog—Roman Sionis/Jason Todd, E
“Roman,” Jason hissed, shifting uncomfortably in Roman’s lap as two men dressed in immaculate suits overlaid by masks and an inordinate number of leather harnesses slid into Roman’s office.
The thing that keeps you up at night—Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, E
“Alone again, Robin?” Slade asks, the nonchalance in his tone so extreme that he almost sounds bored even as long, steady strides bring him closer and closer to where Robin collapsed in a pile of aching limbs after his last strike.
And None Dare Resist—Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, T
Shouts were the first warning.
Preordained Role—Tim Drake & Jason Todd, T
Tim stumbled into his main safe house’s draughty kitchen at noon on a Saturday after five hours of fitful post-patrol sleep.
Open up and swallow on your knees—Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, E
It would be so much easier if it were Deathstroke and Nightwing; the degree of separation, of persona, would make it easier to bear.
Stars in a Paint-Stained Sky—Kyle Rayner & Jason Todd & Donna Troy, T
“Lantern, it’s not surprising that you have a tattoo,” Wonder Woman observed, a smile playing across her lips as she handed Kyle his ring, “but somehow that particular design isn’t what I would have expected from you.”
The main pattern I see is my titles are way too long and convoluted. I also tend to start with a very short, simple, single-clause sentence. Not always, but I had never noticed that trend before. Apparently I start with dialogue more than I should, too.
No-pressure tagging @stvlti, @kieran-granola, @cheetahleopard, @roysmilkers, and @unknownunseenunheard.
