Yes, most of my WiPs are Merlin fics.

Gacked from torakowalski: 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. "Ah, good." Rodney snatched away one of the buckets and padded barefoot to the bathroom. Several other buckets of ice were lined up on the tile. "I waited to run the bath." He turned the cold water on full.

2. Based on dad's journal he'd narrowed the possibilities to a curse, possession (which he quickly disproved), the influence of a demigod, or a complete mental breakdown on Dean's part. As Dean smiled at a biker who bent over to dump his trash, Sam decided not to rule out the last.

3. "Jack. Okay. Let's say I did have a yard sale. How many people in Boulder do you think will buy Epistemology in Ancient Mesopotamia for fifty cents?"

4. "You may play with my hair," Arthur said.

5. "Pick it up!" Arthur actually whacked Merlin's bottom with the flat of his blade. "No cowards on the practice field. I won't allow it."

6. "I shall mock your tonsure," Arthur assured him, although it was a little too soon for lightness and Merlin flinched.

Now which do you think is from part two from The Care & Feeding of Unicorns?

Now which of these is part two from The Care & Feeding of Unicorns?

Gah! I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say:

4. "You may play with my hair," Arthur said.

Why? because it makes me giggle :-)

you have an sg1 wip still yet?

to this i say: GLEEE!!!!

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

You picked more than ONE, SINGLE sentence for most of these! You flunk the meme!

I do hope you finish the Stargate WIPs, they sound marvelous.

I think #4 sounds like it's from part two of The Care & Feeding of Unicorns -- it's adorably hilarious.

re #4 - I don't even care what the context is, that line has made me glee!

RE #3: The first thing I think of is that there's a PhD Classics program in Boulder filled with grad students who would *love* a copy of a book called Epistemology in Ancient Mesopotamia. He just needs to advertise the yard sale in the right place.

Hee! All of them sound excellent, though I have to agree with everyone else that #4 is probably from part 2.

Whereas I thought all he needs to do is flutter those eyelashes and smile winningly and - man, woman or evil alien - they'd be lining up around the block for a chance.

Man, I guess it's obvious. *g*

I feel like I should be handing out prizes now.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Hee. Of course Daniel knows that. He just figures Jack doesn't. A little more of that conversation:

"Jack. Okay. Let's say I did have a yard sale. How many people in Boulder do you think will buy Epistemology in Ancient Mesopotamia for fifty cents?"

"If it has pictures we could probably get a buck for it."

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Everyone got it right. It must be obvious. *g*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

It's so totally jossed, though. I mean, it's a retirement story told through multiple third person POVs -- and we now know that Jack became director of Home World Security. So. I guess it's AU at this point. Uh. Very.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I cheated. But I looked around and at least one other person cheated as well.

Yep. Everyone got the Care & Feeding quote right.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Ha! Everyone guessed it. Yes, that's Care & Feeding all right.

[princessofg.livejournal.com]

there is nothing wrong with au's. nope.

and of course he'll retire EVENTUALLY, so....

in any case, when and if you ever post it, i'm so there. happy writing.
