Yes.

SWARMKEEPER RANGER!!

runs up to tumblr huffing for breath. i came as soon as i heard

BLADESINGING WIZARD? COLLEGE OF GLAMOUR BARD??

I think being a shapeshifter would fix me

how to get rid of the feeling that there is something irreversibly and unforgiveably wrong with you?????????

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your latest fanfics (or up to if you have less!) & tag 10 people.

Thank you for the tag, @terezis! All my published fics are almost-entirely centred around Turmeric's tapdole disaster journey so I will also have to dip into some unpublished stuff, but here we go-

1. More Graves to Dig (BG3)

It starts in the House of Healing.

(Succinct, that one.)

2. Exhuming the Past (BG3)

“We agreed you would remain within-”

3. Whistle Past the Graveyard (BG3)

It's a relief, Shadowheart realises, to work in daylight again.

4. Wings Outstretched (Talons Extended) (BG3)

As unfortunate as it is for Ulder, Wyrm's Rock Fortress is the best place to regroup after the fall of the Absolute, and the tower – the former-Archduke Gortash's quarters – the most suitable location to organise the efforts.

(Bit of a run-on, here. You can really tell I've started to lean into endless dashes as punctuation since the beginning of the series.)

5. Moments Between (BG3)

“I really do think I preferred staying in ignorance, darling, I don't know why you had to point out that this place is actually some ghastly shithole.”

6. White Rooms with Red Floors (Firefly - a really old one from way back in the day that I'm still not sure why I wrote, and I'm too afraid to reread past the first line in the fear it won't hold up. I do still have a fondness for the title though.)

Simon remembers the exact moment he realised the Academy wasn't an academy.

Okay, here's where we get into random work-in-progress stuff that will probably never see the light of publishing day anyway but oh, well.

7. You can now use the workshop at Oberland Station (Fallout 4)

The slow ticking of a Geiger counter rouses Preston from his peaceful sleep, on a mattress that doesn't make his back ache, in clothes not weighed down by weeks worth of grime- in a place that finally, for the first time in a very long time, makes him happy to be waking.

8. Rat Sucker (Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines)

There's nothing like the smell of a Nosferatu – the pungent aroma of sewer drain mixed with the all the revolting fragrance of a festering sore – which, unfortunately, Therese knows all too well.

It's quite clear with all these in a row that I try to introduce the perspective character within the first line - unless it starts with dialogue I guess - but I do like to make it clear who we're with and who we're following as soon as possible.

I don't think I can think of ten whole people to tag, but @fandang1, you might like a go!

“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend

Wyll, Scratch and the Owlbear cub taking a short rest~

"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all

She's so baby

this one is for the tiefling tav's out there 🫵 Astarion would've definitely gone commando just to get a nice chuckle out of it 🤣

I love tipsy Halsin
