Your mission, should you choose to accept it: first line drabbles.

[icarus]

Gacked from jedi_penguin. Because I am too pressed for time to do any serious writing (yet in dire need of entertainment, natch), I have discovered this handy meme:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble or ficlet with the same first line as one of my stories, and leave it in my comments here.

Any takers? *g*

Oooh, and I've found some new awkward sex stories for jedi_penguin. How could we have ever neglected Seeker to Seeker? Or Both Sides Now? I didn't tell her about Hagrid's Hut or Ante Up! either.

Shoot. Now I have to look up links, don't I? *feels lazy, that special kind of 2am lazy*

I still read your journal, Ick! I still love you! ::glomps::

Oh, and, er...a drabble. I suck at this.

Lights flashed in a freeze-frame as loud music pounded and made the tumblers buzz on the bar. The most obvious man in the world came through the crowd. Ten feet. Five feet. One—
"How
much
did
you
drink?"
"I'm not drunk, Weasley," Draco shouted. "That's gauche."
"What—?"
"Potions. Pills." Walls spun.
Scowl. "I'mtakingyouhome."
"Nooo no no…" He lurched forward, found no footing, fell forward. Trecherous floor! "Not unless you mean it."
It was dark with his eyes shut, warm against Ron's chest. Time settled down.
Barely audible: "What makes you think I don't?"
Oh. Well. "By all mean, then."

Oh, I don't feel unloved. *laughs* It's just a function of not being particularly entertaining. What can you say when someone says they're really, really, really, really, really, really busy? Um. Congratulations? Gosh, I'm sorry? It'll get better soon? *throws up hands*

I love how you wrote this from Draco's very higher than a kite perspective.

"How
much
did
you
drink?"

I can see the world swimming before his eyes.

Eh. I don't believe in friending people just for the fanfic. I find your school rants occasionally amusing and always uncomfortably accurate. ::cough cough:: But, you know, semesters end. Look on the bright side, you're still breathing!

Hee, yes, writing from the POV of someone with altered perceptions is extremely entertaining, and a great challange as well. I've actually been plauged with an idea involving Percy, Lucius, and a synthesthetic Ron, but I haven't written it because frankly it's squicky as hell. My NaNoWriMo this year is going to involve a character being semiposessed by another character, and I'm looking forward to it quite a bit.
