Today is the Day of Non-Productiveness, which wouldn't be a problem on the Friday before Christmas if I weren't a church music director, for whom this is the busiest work week of the year. (SIX SERVICES in TWO DAYS.)
So, help me be useless! I was skimming old LJ entries over on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rose_emily and came across this, gakked originally from hyperfocused:
Here are a bunch of first lines from my fic. Drabble away in the comments section for this post! And I would be shocked and appalled with myself if I actually counted the words, so don't bother with exactness in that respect. Oh, and no restrictions on fandom -- change character names / place names around if necessary.
For bonus points, the final line of the drabble should be in haiku form.
1. Their bed is vast and wide, not queen or king-sized, but something custom-built hosting a landscape of white linens, duvets and pillows of all shapes and sizes.
2. There’s a classified ads page on the Atlantis intranet.
3. No part of Alexander Luthor, Clark observes, ever seems to be completely put together.
4. "I --" says Elizabeth, throwing her hands up in the air -- "I quit. I surrender, I submit, I am completely *completely* caving on this one. Twenty years in the diplomatic service, but today's the first day I'm saying that I *give up*."
5. Sam knows what it must have cost Dean, to say those words. “We could stay.”
6. The finely striped line of the starched collar bit into golden skin as Lex pulled the silk tie taut.
7. He doesn't take marathon showers, not really.
8. “Your garbage is full.”
9. Tom did not slam the door of his SUV as he climbed in the driver's side.
10. "I'm not actually Catholic," Clark says apologetically.
Off to work now... work, where I have wi-fi. And will be checking over here periodically. *bats eyelashes*
