kaitouIf you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).
1. Pirates of the Caribbean. Christmas fic for last year's 12 Days of Christmas Challenge
And a Parrot in a Palm Tree
A frown crossed the pirate’s forehead. If Elizabeth took it into her head to go back to England…Will probably wouldn’t deny her. And if they left Jack would have ‘no port in a storm’ as Cotton and his parrot would put it. And damnit if he didn‘t want to go pirating off in England. All the fun was in the Caribbean. All the RUM was in the Caribbean.
2. CCS. Sakura & Yue play dress up.
And he knew that half of her happiness was sharing her life with him, and watching him experience new things. He only wished that her life hadn’t involved so many silly costumes. Then perhaps he wouldn’t be subjected to them as well.
3. CCS. Sakura & Yue. Yukito wakes up after a night spent as Yue, has a mano e mano talk with Kero-chan.
“You look like you could use a stiff drink. I could too, actually, but I haven’t touched the stuff in years. Too much alcohol and you’ll end up as some three year old’s pet kitty, if you know what I mean.”
4. Magic Kaito. Uber Angsty Aoko fic.
Aoko held the Pandora Gem tightly in her hands. It was warm, but only from her absorbed body heat. She could feel the faceted edges pressing into her palm, and she wished she could squeeze hard enough to crack it. But the rock was hard and she was the one cracking instead.
5. Magic Kaito. Hakuba/Kaito
Gingerbread Man (a.k.a. The Plural of Fish is Fish)
Kuroba’s head knocked back against the wall. “Shit!” he exclaimed breathlessly. Hakuba raked his teeth lightly against his index finger and slowly drew off the white cotton glove.
6. Magic Kaito. Kaito's Mom POV
Icharus
His eyes light up when he sees the article and she knows she’s lost the morning edition. It’s no problem. She’ll just pick up another when she does the daily shopping. Add it to her own set of clippings, 20 years old now and beginning to yellow.
7. Detective Conan. Heiji/Kazuha
One Week
Kazuha never forgave her father for what he did that day. Not even years later when everything worked out for the best. Not even when he told the story at the wedding rehearsal dinner. She didn’t forgive him, and in fact, did her best to drown him in the lobster bisque…
8. Detective Conan. Conan/Ai
Puzzle Games
It was the same when she was a child, a true child, playing with puzzle games. Her sister used to smuggle them in to her when she was supposed to be studying, locked in her room. Shiho spent countless hours going over a rubix cube or trying to unlock a set of steel rings. It was an addiction.
She’d merely traded blocks for beakers and puzzles for poisons.
9. Detective Conan. Hakuba/Kaito
Sunset Mansion
With that decided, Kaito got down to the serious business of learning to act like an incompetent.
10. Fruits Basket. Hatori/Tohru
Dragon's Pearl
Hatori scrambled his last defense against her. “Tohru, I’m far too OLD for you.”
“Father was eight years older than Mother was, and they were very happy. And Mother always said that older men were better because they had---”
He was never more desperate NOT to find out what her mother had to say on the subject. And he could only think of one way to stop her. So he kissed her again.
11. Magic Kaito. Hakuba/Kaito
Pomp & Circumstance. (Way, waaay later)
Kaito wanted to say something then. There was an edge of resignation to the British detective’s voice that didn’t sit easy. “I’m not a bad guy, Hakuba.”
“I know. That’s why this is hard.”
12. Original. Two towns have an annual football (soccer) game. Winner team renames loser team's town.
Naming Day.
“Our Father-” said McKinnon
Shaunessy elbowed him aside, “Who art in heaven…”
“Hallowed!” Shove.
“Be!”
“Thy!”
“Get him Preacher!” someone shouted.
