Writing patterns tag game

New post, old tag.

Rules: post the last sentence from your 10 most recently posted fics (less if you don't have 10 is also fine).

1. She takes a sip of Carisi’s coffee and tries to put what Elliot may be doing at this moment out of her head. ~i remember skies (SVU/OC, EO)

2. Maybe she’s ready for this after all. ~ground rules (SVU/OC, EO)

3. They hold each other tightly, no words and no movement between them for as long as they can stand the stillness. ~flinktober 2 (SVU/OC, EO)

4. He has no idea why he deserves it, but for now, he’ll lead with gratitude, hold on to her, and let his demons rest. ~but here we are (SVU/OC, EO)

5. “Did he order asters for the grounds?” ~not everyone loves asters (West Wing, CJ/Danny)

6. She settles against him, finally able to breathe for what feels like the first time since May. ~you'll drown before the water lets you in (SVU/OC, EO)

7. Maybe it’s just something they navigate together. ~dona nobis pacem (SVU/OC, EO)

8. Jumping onto his blanket on the couch, he puts his head down and enjoys the stripe of sun coming in through the garden doors. ~waltz (SVU/OC, EO)

9. They’re chuckling when they walk out of the bar side-by-side into the night. ~silver expectations (SVU/OC, EO)

10. They stop talking after that entirely, and if Elliot’s noshing on his extra egg roll come morning when Noah joins them in the kitchen for breakfast, it only feels like home should. ~on february 7, we eat wo hop (SVU/OC, EO)

I'm not terrific at tagging people, and chances are people have already done this one, but feel free to jump in if you wanna!

chapter 39: where do i begin now?

[somuchwhatever]

There's always those elements within various fandoms that refuse to recognize their faves as flawed individuals and will absolutely try to nuke anyone who will point out imperfections. Ironically, it's what makes our faves layered, so the failure to embrace the problematic parts of them as canon has always baffled me.

Your faves can still be heroes if they've screwed up, suffered the consequences, and learned from it.

me every time i get back from kickboxing and get ready for my shower and see the pile of this week's sweaty moisture wicking nightmares waiting to be cleaned

regular exercise that raises the heart rate and makes you sweat is very good for the mind, body and soul but it is very bad for one thing and that thing is the laundry

I finally give up on the algebra app. Elon has made it useless.

So be patient with me as an old lady learns to use this place properly, okay?

[somuchwhatever]

My man.

and THIS moment, when he comes across her and is so concerned, and he caresses her arm

until he looks down and realizes he's not really at liberty to comfort her

but he WANTS to be

And then of course, the last long look at the door where he realizes they may never see each other againnnnnnnn

Not me back on my Voyager and J/C bullshit again…
