Meme

[rivkat]

Trying to wake my muse, who sleeps more than the Rivkid:

A-- go to my website and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.

B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.

C-- points and a snippet or drabble to anyone who stumps me.

Available fandoms: Smallville, X-Files, Threshold, Veronica Mars, Dead Zone, Nip/Tuck

A glimpse of the back of his neck, brushed by hair as thick and glossy as sable, could almost inspire sonnets. At least, it could delay the quarterly reports, which was nearly as terrible.

Maybe ... The Presence of Fire?

[jadedsilver.livejournal.com]

He was warm, and God, the smell of him, cocoa butter and something tart, still the same. All of it the same, skin smooth as the inside of an oyster's shell, the blood so terribly close to the surface.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Golden Rule ... I think?

[vylit.livejournal.com]

He stood in silence in the kitchen, still his home, still warm and cheerful after a hundred years of hearty farm cooking. Over the years, he'd replaced more than a few of the beams holding the ceiling up, not even counting the one he'd broken himself.

Maybe Golden Rule?

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

The pain reminds him of all the pain he's causing by not having won yet.

It's really interesting what I notice abour people's writing with this meme...you, for example, use names a lot, i.e., many, many lines are identifiable by fandom at least.

And since this is a hard line...I'll add another one from that story if you need it :-)

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I think that's The Presence of Fire, but I'm not certain.

[runpunkrun]

He knew this trick; he did, really. Small kindness after great pain would break a man when the pain alone would never suffice.

Okay, this one I know: Incarnadine.

But if you give me a prompt I'll try anyway.

When he looked at her like that, eyes as hard as stone, she thought
that living in his memory might be enough.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Damn. Acadia?

[chase820.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm definitely playing this one:

"I've been in politics for over a year now. I can accept just about anything."

Even if we don't win, is it too much to hope you'll ever write Nip/Tuck fic? I know, I know, half the time the show reads like fanfiction. Still: you + N/T = me(thrilled)

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

I got nothin'. I will give N/T a go, though you should be warned that it may well be Kimber/Christian. What can I say? I started out as a het writer.

Hee! Cute meme ...

Outside, the lights of midtown made New York City glow, an endless carnival.

Re: Hee! Cute meme ...

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Yikes. It might be Diplomat? Since I'm all but guessing, you can give me a prompt either way.

[snarkist.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter; his presence fills the room so that he's up against her skin.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh. I'm going to go with A Sort of Walking Miracle, though it could be Scotch Gambit.

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Rivkid, I have a prezzie to send. Email me your snail mail addy?

[laetitia-g.livejournal.com]

Because that's sooo him:

"He paused for a moment and reached for a pink sugar packet, which caused other packets to spill from the overstuffed container. He didn't put them back."

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

An Englishman in SV (remix) -- Lex wouldn't consider himself responsible for a mess made by poor planning on the part of whoever filled the sugar container, of course.

[saraslash.livejournal.com]

But his treacherous body began to respond to all the cues it
knew so well.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

You beat me. What is it?

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

I feel kinda cruel with the vagueness but...

Lex crosses the distance between them, never breaking eye contact.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Ruat Caelum?

[carson-leigh.livejournal.com]

He'd made himself forget what that was like, a brilliant fire that burned every inch of his skin, that made him want to pull away and move closer all at once.

This was an awesome idea. I ended up reading a couple of stories I haven't read in a long time.

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Genesis?

i wanna play!

[philexos.livejournal.com]

but I didn't find any Nip/Tuck fic... *snivel* anyway, my fave:

"Lex -" Clark gasped, pulling free for a second, "I -"

Lex's face twisted in a snarl. "Say it now and I swear to God I'll let him lock you up and take you apart."

You are so beautifully cruel. *hugs*

Re: i wanna play!

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

That's Cleave -- and I was unclear: if you stump me, you can request fandoms including Nip/Tuck -- which I'm now working on for Chase.

Ruat Caelum?
