Bwahahaha YES YES YES absolutely living for this new trend of five sentence fics on planes lmao.
"Alex, you cannot seriously think this is a good idea."
xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
You've started a 'fics on planes' thing and I am simply honoring it lmao
----
"Alex, you cannot seriously think this is a good idea."
Standing at the edge of the pool, Alex only seems more emboldened by Henry's protest. "C'mon, Wales, live a little." He doesn't even wait for Henry before yanking his shirt off and starting on his trousers.
"Our first international sex scandal was more than enough living for me, dear." Henry has always been hard-pressed to deny Alex anything, though, so he simply shakes his head and starts on the buttons of his shirt.

midnight comes (and i go looking for you)
ficlet masterlist
~~~
It’s the sound of your phone ringing, and ringing, and ringing, you sat slumped in your living room as the clock nears twelve, the lights turned off, and your tear stained cheeks your only company.
It’s you waiting patiently for her to pick up, a second passing, then nearly a minute.
And just when you think it’s about to go to voicemail, just when you’re about to lose hope, lose your sanity, do you hear the familiar click, Leah’s confused ‘hello’ on the other end easing your aching heart just with her voice.
Your words are strained, just barely spoken, you holding back the tears that are threatening to fall as you're miles away from her- the blonde someone you once were able to call yours, now nothing more than a memory you cherished dearly, yet had no right to long for anymore.
“I- I miss you…”

For the first sentence prompts:
It was adding the fourth that caused the trouble.
“No, I’m sorry, only one Ambassador per clan, those are my directives — but your husband is going, do you not trust his judgement on behalf of you and your people?”
“Of course not,” replied the silver-haired elf, a woman of slight build but mighty presence. Then she spun to face the sea of dark heads gathered around and cried, “Do you, O Tatyar, trust Finwë alone to make this choice for you?”
“Nay!” they cried. “Míriel must go too!”
“There, you see,” she said, thrusting her chin up defiantly.
Oromë sighed, recognising that this being’s spark of determination burned as hotly as Varda’s stars, and consented to bring Míriel to Aman, thus setting in motion a revolution with consequences far more sweeping and profound than any the Music had foresung.

anybody remember the stephanie brown essay I was working on under a research grant fully last summer? yeah it’s not done yet it super needs to be done and I’ve been avoiding working on it for weeks. someone tell me to just do it already
#the problem is. actually there are several problems#1) I’ve been out of the Batman/dc comics phase for almost a year so I don’t care that much about the topic#2) I am fifteen pages in and have not touched it in months so I’ve completely lost my train of thought#3) I can’t just reread it because I hate first five pages or so and I know I need to change it but I was trying to finish before editing#so now my only solution is I need to open up a new doc and completely restructure the whole thing by splicing together the existing writing#so that I can figure out where the hell im going with this and make sure things fit together better#unfortunately that sounds fucking exhausting#but I told my mentor I would have an update for him by the end of the week and. well. it’s the end of the week#I have to present it in April. I have to write and submit an abstract in March#the school gave me $1500 for this stupid essay and if I don’t have anything to show for myself.#well. I don’t know they can’t take the money BACK but it’s not a good look#and also I would feel bad#I did the research!!! i interviewed comic writers even!!! I just haven’t finished WRITING IT DOWN#and I KNOOOOWW once I get started it’ll be fine once I’m going I’m going#but STARTING is hard because I feel like I have to finish it in one go which makes it so huge and daunting#I’m like. slamming my head into a wall. just write a couple sentences Jess something is better than nothing#just start it you don’t have to finish just START just MAKE the new DOC#I know!!!!! that is what my therapist would say!!!! Jess you’re trying to oneshot it bc of your dumb adhd brain!!!!#stop looking at it like that and making it scarier!!!#but even tho I know that logically I’m still like oh I should put away the dishes o should make bread#I should work on my six different art pieces I should do laundry i should play with the puppy I should go for a walk I sh

piarles + bow!! for me!! 🎀
It's never been weird between them, Pierre swears, not once: they've been friends since they were small, growing up together on the same street, playing in the same parks as they'd agreed to be paleontologists or astronauts or footballers, and it'd never mattered once to him that Charles was a girl in all that time--even when they'd gotten shipped off to different high schools across town, it hadn't changed their relationship.
But now...now, as Pierre stands out in front of Charles' house waiting with his shitty Honda parked out front, all but trembling in this oddly-tailored suit for prom, he thinks the line of weird may have finally been crossed after all these years.
It's finally been crossed because Charles in her dress looks beautiful--not covered in dirt or wearing ragged clothes she'd stolen from her older brother, or even in her usual baggy jeans look, but really elegant in a way that Pierre had never even imagined her in before; red fabric that has to be satin spilling down her legs, tapering off at her ankles, a bunched up flower nestled in the perfect center of her chest. Her hair is curled intentionally and not just from humidity--ringlets spilling over her shoulders, a stunning red bow peeking out from behind her head to tie some of it back, and oh.
"What are you looking at," she deadpans, but her mouth is curved up in that usual smirk she gives him, and Pierre realizes that her lipstick matches her dress; he clutches the corsage case tighter and shakes his head, trying to play it off, but it's no use--she's caught him red-handed as she starts making her way towards the car, and when her smirk stretches into a full-on grin, he knows he's doomed.

“The word they used was ‘savage,’” Beard corrected.
“The word they used was ‘savage,’” Beard corrected.
“Right,” Ted said, nodding. “I can see where they got there, though I don’t think it’s an accurate description.”
“Well, he did bite someone.”
“When you do it it’s called having a side hustle but when Bumbercatch does it, it’s a red card. I’ll never understand this dang sport.”
From here.

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fic, I’ll write you the next five.
I'm about to be on a very long plane ride and therefore very bored, so I think this could be fun.
The real test here is whether I can manage to actually keep them short, because I am not known for my brevity, but we shall see.

First line of a fic:
He could take or leave pie, honestly.
Not that he'd say as much in front of Bull: the man truly was the salt of the earth, but everyone had their limits. Johnny gamely accepted his serving, half a size too big at any given time, made even more so by the generosity of the Randlemans' table for the night, but he didn't really have a choice there. He'd promised the missus to be on his best behavior, seeing as she was really keen on making the evening a success for everyone. In front of them, Bull Randleman beamed with pride at his pie's reception, Coleen's face aglow with satisfaction.
So far, Johnny and Moira's first foray into swinging was going pretty well.

Une petite houle, venue du large, imprimait au canot un léger roulis, et quelque crêtes de lames clapotaient à son avant. (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, 2e partie, chapitre III)
today in sentences that would have made me weep quietly into my dictionary if i had read them a year ago before jules verne expanded my marine vocabulary by ~1700%.
#do u you know how long it took me to figure out 'lame' has a totally separate sea-related meaning#i was like a slat? a slat of what???????#no it's just one of the three most common words for 'wave'#(the others being vague and flot(s))#(not to mention houle of course. or remous)#(and onde but that's a different kind of wave)#now i see it and i'm like ouais ouais une lame nous tous l'avons vue#french#my posts#hey remember the first time i read a jules verne novel & was going crazy trying to figure out what 'allure' was in a nautical context#i was like i know allure means speed...but he is definitely not using it to mean speed#that's how they get you. all these normal words with normal meanings that have SPECIAL BONUS MEANINGS#as soon as you get on a boat 😩 but jules verne is like. you are going to learn these words if it kills me#and who am i to argue with a guy who really wants to teach me five different words for wave/swell?#i learned all the words for mud and manure because that was important to vicky hugo. it's the least i can do#now i'll tell you where i draw the line is learning all the names of the different species of fish. in french.#he's throwing like multiple paragraphs of run-on sentences per chapter at me that are just listing forms of marine life#i don't even know what these are in english so i'm just letting them wash over me#i've learned the ones that keep showing up over and over but most of them are so specialized they're not even in the dictionary#frenchified scientific latin ass names#very fun to pronounce but yeah i ain't committing these to long-term storage sorry
