Re: Favorite lines from your own writing?
(Anonymous) 2014-07-18 02:54 am (UTC)(link)From an old FFX-2 Fic:
Gippal rolled his eye upwards. “It doesn’t work that way. You can tell them once, and tell them one hundred times to call you ‘just Gippal’ and it doesn’t stick. They get a kick out of making me uncomfortable. It’s their little revenge.”
Nooj pressed his fingertips together. “Or they respect you and want to show their respect.”
“You’re full of positive spins.”
(This is actually the first one to come to mind and I think I used the "you're full of positive spins" someplace else because it is just that amusing. Mostly, it was the ironic dichotomy of Gippal, the optimist, saying this to Nooj, the pessimist.)
From a Narnia fic I'm working on:
Inside the plane, Lucy walked past Charlie and took the co-pilot’s seat in the cockpit. She stowed her cap under the seat and turned to Charlie. “So, what takes you to India?”
“I want to open a zoo.” He replied, putting his cowboy hat on his knee.
Lucy gave a long level look at Edmund. His passenger was a liar.
Edmund stopped flipping switches and looked back at her. “What? That’s the nicest answer I’ve heard yet.”
Lucy sighed. “Where do you find these people?”
(Just the whole character interaction thing, establishing character... and the fact this comes back to haunt Edmund later. Why yes, Edmund is a pilot and Lucy is... *eyes Lucy* still being Lucy.)
From an X-Men WIP:
“I’m afraid I can’t find Rogue.” Charles said gently.
Kitty burst into tears and sank to her knees. Piotr knelt down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. The others looked at Charles in shock.
Logan looked at them all and then walked past them. “I need air.” He said gruffly.
He couldn’t let anyone see him cry.
An hour later, Ororo came out to try and talk to him. He picked a fight with her until she lost such control of her emotions that she summoned a thunderstorm. And only when the rain poured down out of the blackened sky in buckets and lightning hit the ground all around him, did Logan fall to his knees, put his head in his hands and weep for the daughter he never realized he’d had.
Clothes plastered to her body by the driving rain, Ororo knelt down next to him, wrapped her arms around him and wept with him.
(emotional impact... ack, this makes me want to cry every time and I wrote the thing!)
From original sci fi/fantasy story in relation to a war the main characters are having over sunscreen:
“Not even you are immune to melanoma!”
and a short while later
Curly came over and leaned over to Rodeo. He lowered his voice so the others couldn’t hear him. “Doesn’t the Prospect know that if he puts the sunscreen on himself, he can choose the protection rating?”
Rodeo snickered. “Shhh, I’m waiting for her to chase him down and tackle him.”
