I finally think I'm beating the cold I've had for... two weeks now? So, in celebration (and continued procrastination from cleaning my room) I bring you the works-in-progress meme that is going around the place. They range from the "OMG, I can't believe I ever started writing this!" to the almost-finished current project. *waggles eyebrows temptingly*
Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!
1. Martin was early for once, Danny’s doing, and so could take the time to pick the least squeaky chair in the room.
2. Still, he hadn’t really been focused on the idea, Jack’s request for a date (right in the midst of a crisis, how typical), until one night when he’s nodding goodbyes to Owen and Tosh, grinning at Gwen (whose cellphone is already at her ear, Rhys nattering on about an early night and drinks, not that Ianto exactly means to eavesdrop) and he turns back to empty out the coffee pot and give everything a last declutter and tidy and there’s Jack standing in the doorway to his office, grinning.
3. Working the three of them together only lasts for about two weeks; Dean wakes up one morning to find the shades still drawn and Sam sitting quiet and tense on the opposite motel bed, holding a note in his hand.
4. This was either the weirdest pick-up in history or some seriously bad shit was about to go down.
5. "I was thinking you would enjoy a supporter at your weekly display of athletic manliness,” here Rodney raises an expressive eyebrow at the empty bleachers, “but seeing as you appear to only love me for my possession of a warm caffeinated beverage, I might just leave.”
6. When midnight hit, it was all bizarrely normal, even for their crowd and especially in view of the fact they were in the middle of Alphabet City.
7. Since this was Sam-talk for “Dean, I know you care more about the people we help than you’re pretending to”, Dean decided to change the subject before it became a chick-flick moment.
8. “Either way, they’ve decided that you and Rusty need to be taught a little lesson, and seeing as they have enough money to convince some not very nice people of the same, it’d probably be safer for you two to take a little vacation.”
9. Reid was so surprised that the endless buzz of background thoughts shorted out for a moment because, eidetic memory or not, no amount of remembered details could come close to the reality of Morgan kissing him.
10. Not only were they distracting to anyone willing to chance a glimpse of sky, but they also had the irritating tendency of allowing many of the building’s windows to forget their Purpose and slide open, punctuating the scratch of pen on paper with curses when a breeze toppled stacks of precious research.
11. Ben knew that he wouldn’t stand much of anywhere if he didn’t know people, which always made him feel a little bit like he was in the Mafia, but mostly he was happy that it meant he didn’t get slammed into the lockers by the football team or hassled by the varsity lacrosse players while he was waiting for the bus.

Should head to bed soonish, as I have to be up and teaching PE in the morning (hee) and then Chicks (with Sticks) in the evening. Full day, good times. :o)
