One Line, any Fic

@bakagaka tagged me

Rules: pick any 10 of your WIP fics (or finished; go nuts), scroll somewhere to the mid point, pick a line, and share it! Then tag 10 people.

Same with Bakagaka, I'm totally up for any questions/thoughts/discussions about any of these or anything else I've written.

Couldn't decide on just 10 and dunno if I have 10 friends on here let alone ones that are currently writing so I'll split the difference.

Mostly Movie!Venom, a bit of Homestuck and some original worldbuilding, in order of how recently I've worked on them.

Horizontal Gene Transfer (Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell): <<[WITH] (host-other-self[EDDIE]) YES. ALSO (pasthost-dog[Gemini]), (pasthost-human-ally-friend[ANNE]), (pasthost-human[Maria]), MORE.>>

Roll for Investigation: "Eh, he’s some kinda brainweird, some kinda mutant or enhanced or whatever, and probably some kinda queer. What kind? I dunno, nunna my business."

We Like Being Like This: "WHAT DOES ANNE’S WARPAINT HAVE TO DO WITH FOOD?"

Aro/Ace 5+1 Sex: “Ah. I don’t know, Vee. I’m not sure I’m really up to much in the way of touch right now.”

Untitled: It traced their connection, flowing up and through the writhing puddle of symbiotic mass overlaying and abutting their mammalian body on a plane just above, every host cell a doorway to the bridge between the planes which Eddie inhabited and the pocket where the majority of their klyntar body lay.

Cancer: And little by little she did, a few tears at first but soon sobbing desperately into his shoulder and clutching at the clump of silky flesh that was sprouting from his back to hold her hand. They held her up as she crashed, cradled her as she crumbled, and kept up a steady stream of comforting babble while she wrung herself out.

Quadrants: Concupiscent Pity - Red Romance - Is a complacent quadrant. You have no desire to fix or change your potential partner; if they improve too much they no longer need your pity and if they get much worse they're no longer worth throwing your genes with.

Spawn a Baby: Eddie raised an eyebrow and looked pointedly at the evidence of live prey all over their apartment.

“FOR THE LAST TIME WE ARE NOT EATING SONNY AND CHER."

Depression Eddie: While it would normally be perfectly happy with them wearing whatever was lying around, and it knew that most humans’ senses of smell were not nearly as acute as its own chemo-sensory array (or even Eddie’s since they had augmented his scent receptors), it still felt instinctively risky to advertise an ongoing weakness more than necessary.

5+1 Separation: Of course, this only makes the separation worse; a mental quilt with half its fabric suddenly and violently ripped out; the chessboard now a patchwork of holes with bare threads holding any of it together.

ABOquest: (human) “Female” & ”male” secondary traits correlated to immune system. Healthy groups have a variety and betas are a bit more attracted to groups with both variety and F/M traits not highly represented in their own group to help diversify the immune stuff.

You Think You're Helping: "You are so very, very lucky that we convinced them to condense and shore up their redundancies rather than eliminate them for efficiency, or you'd be holding nothing more than dead bodies right now and their lawyer would be drawing you up and quartering you right now."

Headworld: It is extremely dangerous, the magic levels enough to quickly warp anything exposed for more than a few minutes. Dwarves wear hazmat suits and pass through many levels of decontamination when they have to go aboveground.

I’m going to worldbuild babble because I’m buried in papers for class. But I’m mixed on having the Crystolix be based on sea slugs or axolotl. And what will happen is what ever one I don’t pick will become pets for them, like cats.

With sea slugs I could play up their skin patterns but I like axolotl’s external gill stalks.

oh goody, in a headworld-babbly mood

there are certain aspects of the headworld that are like. ok, i know what younger-us was thinking when we decided that, but now Thomas and I regret that/are embarrassed about it/would do it different now

and it can change. i don’t know of any changes that happened recently, but i’ll always remember one in particular that Val initiated shortly after we identified our multiplicity. “Wait, you mean I’m not just a character? ... Ok, well, firstly, this sucks, I’m changing it.”

(or maybe that doesn’t count because it’s something that occurs “outside” the range of time that the headworld encompasses? i dunno.)

but some changes just don’t stick. or some things I somewhat regret are so core that they’d change everything. and Val is understandably very defensive about any of that sort of “meddling” (it’s basically his memories that we’re talking about here)

just. whaaat an odd experience.

I need to dig around and look up more things that use crystals as a power source for inspiration....One day I'll write out everything and maybe even draw it once I stop being so tired. I keep getting caught up in tiny things for how the world works so it makes sense at least somewhat, I know it's fantasy but even fantasy needs to make sense.
