I FEEL LIKE DOING A MEME but I'm still holding out on not asking for those "30 mysterious questions," damnit. :( Instead, I will do the "first lines from 25 of your most recent fic" meme -- MINUS the drabble responses and stuff for CFUD. LET'S BE PATTERN LOOKING?
1. He does not want to go to church on Sunday morning; his mother boxes his ears once and speaks to him sternly, but she takes pity on his pale face and shivering hands, and tucks him in with a kiss to the forehead before she goes.
2. It's all about instinct; Roxas is good at that.
3. A message comes from his uncle a week before Shuri's birthday.
4. "Picture your mind as a house with rooms," Sharon tells him.
5. The ceremony is about as lavish as Gil expected: dozens of fine gentlemen and delicate ladies, all dressed in finer clothing than he could ever hope to own, gathered in rustling silence as Oz Vesalius kneels before his uncle, hand over his heart.
6. It rains the day of the lady's funeral.
7. "She's been asking for you," the Duchess says, and her laughter is clear in her voice even if her mouth is hidden behind her lace fan.
8. "Well," said the boy -- Mikage, was it? -- with a wide-eyed smile, at the start of all things.
9. After, when frantic relief has given away to silence and his skin is almost warm to the touch and slick with sweat, Gwendolyn presses her palm to his chest, fingers spread wide as they can go, and counts the heartbeats against her palm.
10. They land in a desert world that has both of the children bright-eyed and excited; the princess still doesn't remember much, but her entire body seems to relax into the punishing heat, and there's a healthy flush to her white cheeks.
11. The trick to earning a wild animal's trust is patience, and lots of it.
12. Moonlight bleaches Seimei's skin pale and highlights the all the sharp lines and angles of his narrow face, till it makes the throat ache to see him.
13. There is a man who walks by the church every day, precisely at two o'clock in the afternoon.
14. He remembers the father.
15. The east wind brought in the smell of rain and wet leaves, despite the hot clear blue of the summer sky.
16. "You're not serious," Fay protests.
17. (Pay attention. Breathe.)
18. It took approximately three laps around the estate with lullabies low in Masahiro's throat the entire time before Kohime finally fell asleep.
19. There is a hall of the Minamoto estate that is filled, one end to the other, with the stuffed preserved bodies of youkai in their natural forms.
20. The good: One, there was no loss of strength in his grip or his arm in general.
21. The first mistake the professor makes is in pairing them up.
22. "I never regretted it," was all he'd say, years later.
23. There is a game Seimei enjoys very much; shhh, you mustn't tell Ritsuka.
24. "Hey, Boma," says Daisuke.
25. She wears mostly black in this country, like she does in every other -- black jeans and a low-cut black tanktop and a light black jacket over that -- all provided by President Daidouji, of course: after she practically adopts the princess, she takes the rest of them under her wing as well.
Obviously, my pattern is "opening sentences that are too damn long and rambly," but I suspect that's actually just partly me and failing. Sob. Why do I TALK SO MUCH.
