TTS Snippets

As someone with a burning hatred for twitter and an equally burning love for anything Tarot Sequence-related, I'll try to track all snippets K.D. Edwards shares over there on tumblr and make them searchable. Here goes! One of my favorite snippets ever!

Date posted: 2023/02/14 Link: https://twitter.com/KDEdwards_NC/status/1625583545292034048 Additional comments by K.D.: I had a free half-hour at lunch, and doodled this.... Happy Valentine's Day, all. Thanks for filling my year with so much love and support. Snippet: I peeked into the kitchen. I don't know what I expected to see. Mounds of wrapped red candy boxes? We didn't really do Valentine's Day, but there were a lot of kids in the house now, and kids like candy, so my brain was optimistically drawing out a lot of elaborate equations that led to me getting candy too. Brand was sitting at the table, tapping a box against his crossed knee. A red candy box in the shape of a heart. "Fuck me," I said. "Are you confiscating that?" He narrowed his eyes. "No." "That's from Addam, isn't it? Are you making him exchange it for fruit?" "No," he repeated, growling. Brand slapped it on the table and slid it toward me. "No. It's for you. From me." I sat in the chair and stared at the box. My first thought were grenades. "Look," Brand said in frustration. "It's real chocolate. Do I need to apologize again?" "Wait what? Apologize? There's an apology here too?" "Maybe I'm acting a little like a dick when I talk about your Dad bod. Maybe you don't know I'm okay with exactly how you are. Which would be stupid. You've blown up two more buildings - it's not like muscle or a waist helped you do it. So Happy American Greeting Card Day." Then he ran off, because he was already sensing the great sludge-like wave of emotion threatening to stream from my end of our bond.

Rules: List the First Line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Tagged by @fiamac my beloved!

Rapture in the Lonely Shore: In a quiet corner of a quieter town stands a tree.

Hallowed be thy Name: The moment Ariadne begins the incantation, she knows she's already lost.

Batteries Not Included: The door chime sounds like a whip cracking.

No Key to Happiness: The door is shitty, scratched and worn.

Lose Sight of the Shore (WIP): Eames is sitting at the bar, idly sipping his drink, acting like another average businessman who just left the office and wants someone to keep him company for a couple hours.

A Form of Art: Ariadne walks into the familiar sight of Yusuf hunched over his glassware.

Lightning Rod (Part of my Ace!Omega series): Arthur wakes up in his bed, surrounded by sheets that reek of the usual post-heat scents but also Eames, and he immediately panics.

Hotel Room Service (A Foolish Dream remix): The first time is an accident, truly.

Ritual: It’s always so easy, at the start: draw sigils, light candles, strip naked.

more thrilling than understanding: It is a truth universally acknowledged that Eames never comes to Arthur’s briefings on time.

If I had to come up with a pattern I think it would be that I always start with some declarative setting-the-scene kind of sentence haha. I don't think I start with dialogue that often in general... I definitely haven't for these ten fics haha! XD

Tagging (absolutely zero pressure, and sorry if you've already been tagged): @dingdangit, @stormofsharpthings, @rudimentaryflair, @darlingandmreames plus anyone else who wants to give this a try!
