Post one sentence from your current Works-in-Progress.
Gungrave
A life lived in the sun, in the streets, on the wilder edges—the life he enjoys is the one that has Harry McDowell and the others at its centre. ("Circles")
Final Fantasy VII
In the middle of dessert, Shelke asks about the Materia incident. ("Some Torture Chamber of the Heart")
But for the first few moments of monsterhood, Vincent Valentine is angry. ("Heart and Soul Given Over")
The great logs that make what should be Cosmo Canyon's great bonfire (but isn't) are like so many piled corpses, grey and cold and barren, and the shattering of Cosmo tradition has pleased the Lord of Decay. ("Down the Rabbit Hole")
He has passed into legend as a haunted, tragic figure, and he would not be surprised if most of his friends from his youth--if they could be called that--have long died of the venal corruption that festers in the city. ("Master and Slave")
Nonetheless, he's leaning against her kitchen counter drinking her coffee after convincing Yuffie to take Marlene shopping for a good pair of metal knuckles. ("On Immortality")
Things like that are always Reeve's fault SOMEHOW, even if he didn't actually command me, "Go thou and get thee to Gongaga's deep jungle, where thou shalt roll thee around in the mud and bathe in jungle toads." ("Playing Chicken")
Yuffie didn't know whether to shriek with laughter that he'd got her name wrong or to punch him in the stomach. "It's Aerith," she told him. "It's not like I was lisping." ("Burnt Offerings" chapter nine)
Unrest isn't Cosmo Canyon's style; if Wutai has the corner market on enigmatic serenity, then Cosmo Canyon has a monopoly on acceptance and harmony. ("Masques")
Cid's scrawl in permanent marker marred the surface of the mirror, made her right eyelid look like someone had tattooed it with an advanced aerodynamics equation and gotten it dyslexically backward. ("What To Expect")
Original
As her engineer father would have said, like hell Pepper had forgotten the trigger phrase. ("A Bitter God to Follow")
"Maybe I'll miracle those knives into your throat," Silent snapped back. ("Carry My Name")
Only silence and darkness, pressing in at her ears and clawing her hands with cold. She slid the gun back under the pillow and pulled the covers over her head. ("One Final Mercy")
When I look out the window, I get the feeling there's no room for white or blue on our flag. ("Smokehouse")
Rurouni Kenshin
He doesn't want to be bitten by dinner again. ("A Recounting Of the Damage"/That Crazed Enishi Fic)
Hannya didn't need expressions; he radiated displeasure if he needed to. ("Catch Me On the Ground")
They've been falling in and falling up, dizzily sinking into some sort of embrace, beginning a dance that has more subtle shifts than the Kaiten Kenbu. ("Ice Off My Glances")
She wasn't the child he'd left behind, hadn't been that child since he'd left her, hadn't become that child again when he returned. ("The Sun Burning Dark")
