Sentence Me

[ithildin]

Seen all over: Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

(Yes, some are longer than a sentence, but dialogue should stay in one piece [g])

~ Waving a negligent hand, he replied, “And yet here you are. Really, Doctor, you must learn to let these things go. It is not good for your health to dwell on the past.”

~ "Think Amanda, but with fewer moral qualms, an ace up her sleeve, and a Derringer in her garter," Methos instructed the other man. "Lovely woman." The sarcasm could have been cut with a knife.

~ He looked at her a little suspiciously, but continued with his story. “It’s almost like a shard of ice, and when you put it your mouth, it reacts to the saliva and dissolves into a vapour that’s absorbed through the skin! Bloody amazing!”

~ Laughing softly, he replied, "If I were your father, I'd be locking you in your room and fetching a shotgun and a minister."

~ “Reebar swizzle sticks not withstanding, massive blood loss takes the longest to recover from for one of us. Any dizziness?” His lips twisted with grim amusement as she nodded. “You need to be careful. If you faint, I won’t be able to keep my minions from swooping down on you.”

~ “Erotica, love, erotica,” he corrected in lofty tone before pouring more scotch into his glass, grinning unrepentantly.

Those are some interesting lines, m'dear. :D And look who I found reading some of your WIPs. ;)

Ooooh! Lovely icon! I was just saying to Nin last night I still need to cap that movie.

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Same here. As much as I enjoyed him in 'Memoirs,' it was nothing compared to him in 'Last Samurai.' *sigh* He is beautiful.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

He really is. Speaking of, you have seen the vid 'starting on a Journey' haven't you? You absolutely must if you've missed it. It's exquisite, and probably one of my all time fave vids.

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

No, I've not seen it. I've never even heard of it. Where can I find it?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I couldn't find the link! But I knew if I poked around aka_arduinna's delicious account, I'd find the link since she was the one to point me to it in the first place. And she's the most organized bookmarker/tagger in the universe.

So, go here http://pteropus.com/, and once you have the password, checkout 'Starting on a Journey' and while you're at it, 'Clean' -- my other fave vid.

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I will definitely have to check it out. :)

Methos is not a fan of Maude. [g] - I have always loved that quote.

Gee I recognize most of these - \0/ so much good fic on the horizon. *makes grabby hands*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Really? That surprises me!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Well ok I recognize three and have a suspicion about a forth -

Or were you surprised I love that quote or that I want you to write more. It's been a long day and I need clarification. [g]

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Surprised you thought you recognized most of them :) So what are your guesses?!

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

In addition to the one I already identified - the shot gun and the preacher is ezra and charlotte. I thought the last one was Tony Stark and the first one was about Methos but now I'm not so sure LOL. Now I'm second guessing my self and I take it back - I guess I don't know most of them but I am intrigued to find out what they are from

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I knew you'd know that one [g] Yes, that one is Ezra speaking to Charlotte.

Last one is Methos to Emily in a Grey's fic where she's commenting on his 'porn through the ages' collection.

First one is Colonel Montoya to Dr. Helm in Edge of Heaven.

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Oh well ..Guess I didn't know too many after all but did I mention how much I love that Methos quote

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Can't wait for Methos and Maude to meet [g] [nudges]

[strangevisitor7.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't the two of them in one room be the first sign of the Apocalypse

[enchantersnight.livejournal.com]

arrgghhh so want to read these when done :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

All of them, except one, have been posted as WIPs [g] And I realized I haven't worked on one of them since 2007, and one other I doubt I'll ever finish (when Addison left Grey's, I lost my enthusiasm).

This one has bitten down hard on my curiosity and won't let go!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I'm fond of reebar swizzle sticks :)

This is a sequel to 'By My Side, You'll Never Be (http://ithildyn.livejournal.com/255216.html)', titled 'The Memory Of This (http://ithildyn.livejournal.com/303060.html)'. It's a Methos story.

What is a reebar swizzle stick?
