these came from my heart and a past friendship of mine. enjoy and feel free to use :)
“you’re my sister, my love, and my best friend. thank you for existing.”
holding hands <33
hugs !!!!
long distance friendships </3
but if they’re long distance they can send each other packages n stuff
“you mean the world to me. did i ever tell you that?”
if one of the characters doesn’t have a father figure, what if their friend walked them down the aisle
“STOP LAUGHING I DONT KNOW WHAT TO GET YOU FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.” “whatever you get me, i’m sure i’ll love it.”
“i love you.” “don’t make me cry.”
the moment they have their first real conversation and they’re both so much like “THEYRE JUST LIKE MEEEE” and they know right away this is going to be a forever friendship
“this is so weird to say, but i’m so glad i met you.” “that’s not weird to say at all.”
“you’re so freaking cool.”
“i feel like we haven’t talked in a minute. how are you?”
“i love you. i don’t think i can say that enough.” “i’m pretty fond of you, too.”
“i feel like, id give my heart to you if you were about to die.” “…….. id pour water on you if you were on fire too, i guess.”
“you’re a nerd.” “you’re a dummy. now what?”
giving each other life advice
^ “i know it may not help now, but honestly, what’s meant to happen will happen. what’s meant for you will find you.” “i guess that’s why you found me.”
“if you don’t go i’m not going.”
“you know that guy i was talking to?” “which one?” “STOP.”
them saying things at the same time and then being like TWINNNN
“i get to tell everyone my best friend is a [profession]… sounds like a win to me.”
1. “I gave you one hundred and one reasons to walk away, yet you never did. Why?” “Because I love you. It’s really that simple.”
2. “Remember when we first met here?” “Yeah, of course. That was the day when you spilled coffee on me and apologised profusely but all I could think about was how gorgeous you are and how great it would have been to get your number.”
3. “It’s always been you, and it will always be you. Please never forget that.”
4. “You make me feel all soft and mushy inside.” “That is a good thing, right?” “Of course! You melt me, love.”
5. “You’re an idiot.” “Well, at least I’m your idiot, right?”
6. “You’re the reason why I believe in love, you know?”
7. “Stop back-hugging me while I’m trying to cook! You’re distracting me,” Character A whines, cheeks becoming a delicate shade of rosy pink as Character B nuzzles their neck and mumbles sleepily into their neck, arms only serving to tighten around their waist at their flustered protests.
8. “C’mere and rest next to me. You’ve worked hard enough today.”
9. “You feeling any better?” Character A asks, stroking their fingers through Character B’s hair. “So much better now that you’re here. I love you,” Character B mumbles, snuggling close to them.
10. “You always manage to make me feel like I’m worth it.” “That’s because you are worth it. You’ll always be worth it in my eyes.”

When I was a young writer, I was told that I often started my sentences with "there is/there was/there are." I was told to eliminate those as much as possible.
I couldn't believe how often I used them. My first novel was completely littered with them.
I learned to diversify and grow my use of verbs. Instead of the state-of-being verbs, like "is" which isn't very descriptive at all, I started using stronger verbs.
Instead of writing "There were a bunch of trees on the hill" I wrote "A cluster of trees towered over the hill."
"Towered" is a much stronger verb than "Is"
Use the state-of-being words, but if you can, try replacing them with more active verbs. You might be surprised how much your writing improves.
I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.
I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.
The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.
Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.
(feel free to use<3 the kisses ones are.. im- i-... yall better tag when u write these or else check under ur bed before sleep! :) )
lingering with your lips open, touching, but not kissing, and this one glance at their eyes and you say fuck it and pull at their collar to kiss them
heavily breathing after a kiss (damn ittitit)
gulping when they get a little too close
and not knowing how to talk or exist after they finish kissing you like they've been needing that kiss for a lifetime!!!
loosing your mind when they tilt your chin to look you in the eye
pulling them by their belt to kiss them>>
lazy kisses in the morning, that starts with a grunt as they pull you closer to them as you try to get up and lazily placing kisses all over face and ends with a hoarse whisper from them asking you to stay. fucjfuck
their mouth at your ear, whispering!!!
"give me a chance. to prove what i can make you feel." (ohmykgodks)
when they kiss you, hard, gripping, shaking breaths, fists in each other's clothes, against a wall, but they stop. and smirk, "you want that, love? i want cuddles though." and their grin is too wide, stupid and cocky and beautiful.
you're holding on by a thread and they sort of grin against your lips, mumbling, "just lose control, love."
that glance at your body with their eyes subtly widening, almost gulping as they take in your attire. fuck.
the lips are hot, soft, settling, nibbling and gasping, pulling onto each other for more and when you stop, they have their eyes closed, heavily exhaling, hair ruffled, and they look like the prettiest mess ever.
holding your hands above your head as they kiss you
Teaching them how to hold a weapon properly by standing behind them and guiding their hands, when you notice that their face has turned red
Saying something flirty mid-fight which catches them off guard, giving you the perfect oppurtunity to strike
Somehow, their training session turns into a full on tickle fight
They wince in pain and you frantically start apologizing. As you get closer to check for any injuries, they attack suddenly, calling you out for falling for such an old trick
Or they do end up actually getting injured, so you clean off their wounds
You want to ask them out after a match, but you keep getting nervous and postponing it, and they're confused as to why you keep coming back eventhough they've defeated you everytime
Their weapon gets damaged after a fight, so you make them a new one.
Finding it difficult to focus because this is the first time you've seen them with their hair tied up
You aren't well, but you don't want to skip training and make them worry, so you continue on as usual, thinking it's not that serious. But that's proven wrong when you faint right in front of them mid-fight
They've been avoiding you a lot, and after every training session, they leave immediatly without saying a word. One day you decide to pin them to ground during a fight and ask what's wrong
Dialogue:
"You've gotten better!" || "Tsk, can't say the same about you"
"I think that's enough for one day"
"...can you get off me" || "S-sorry"
"You hold it like this and- why are your hands trembling?"
"I really look forward to our next match!"
"Oh god- I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you that hard-"
"Didn't know you liked being pinned to the ground this much"
"Is that all you got?"
"I won't go easy on you" || "I don't want you to"
"Let's do it again!" || "Hell no. If we train any longer I'm going to pass out"
