 Wanted to join in on a writing meme I saw going around! Thanks [personal profile] tempural and [personal profile] miscellanium for sharing! I felt like I haven't written as much as I'd like this year, but looking back at the last five fics I've done made me realize that I was actually pretty active!

Rules: go through your last 5 posted fics and share the first and last line. No context.

1. Divine Contact 
First: Godfrey was a soldier, not just by profession but by rite.

Last: "And let's hope he complies, lest the grace of our Lord be taken in vain," Elyssio said with a wink and stopped Godfrey with his arm extended, the back of his hand waiting for him to kiss it before his ascent to his quarters.

 
First: “It’s your turn, Mr. Crawford. What would you like to bet on?” 
 
Last: Jounouchi looked back to the echoing hallway that carried Pegasus further into the black until he disappeared.


3. Missed Connections
First: The familiar smell of a hospital was an odd comfort for Alex, and this was the least strange thing about the man.

Last: She had the same demeanor as the nurses in the juvenile ward he'd grown up with, but this time he was older, traded his blonde hair for a more unassuming black, and she had an allure to him that he wouldn't have been old enough to appreciate before.

 
4. Solace
First: You want to take all of him the same way that he took you five years ago: bespoke yet broken and then mended in his shadowy arms.

Last: And he is all yours like this as you grind into him, merging yourself with the darkness that aches for more beneath you.

 
5. Malis Avibus
First: King Maximillion III was already thought of as quite the queer ruler when he came to power without having ever witnessed the realities of war, even as a spectator.

Last: “Amen, and may the Protestants be driven from the land.”

#5 - out of context, the juxtaposition of the first and last lines is such an interesting (probably incorrectly perceived) parallel to me; I’m curious!

#4 - beautiful

From: [personal profile] miscellanium
i'd really like to see you do something like #4 (solace) with your own characters of choice - if a gift fic is this lyrical, then.... i remember you saying something about how you haven't felt like you had the time to write something for yourself lately. we should make the time for both of us!
