AO3 First Lines
Rules: post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted on ao3. If you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics.
(Saw it here!)
I wanted to see if there was a pattern. I guess not really? After looking at these lines, I'd say there's a rather high probability that something about the lighting will be mentioned (37.5%). Or that it's gonna be a dialogue line (37.5%). Other than that I only happily noted the neopronouns (if I think about it, more than half of my fics have neopronouns, nice).
when I first read "Hamlet", I always hated the monologues (The Musketeers Cyrano de Bergerac AU)
The lights were dim - they were always dim and Athos always chose the darkest corner of the tavern.
is self-defence gay? (The Musketeers Star Wars Crack AU)
"What?" Athos asked over zmyr shoulder, voice filled with annoyance.
<You Are> Teaching an Eagle How to Fly (The Musketeers X-Men AU)
The red light above the door blinked.
It belongs to the young people. (basically no fandom)
I watch your bare throat as you down a glass of ice tea, I watch it as if it’s the only thing that exists; for the purposes of this narrative, it is.
Twenty thousand turned up for the march (The Musketeers almost Modern AU)
The march against Section 28 took place on 20 February 1988, through Manchester city centre.
good shot good soldier (The Musketeers Star Wars AU)
“No,” Athos cut jem off. “I’m not with the Rebellion”.
shut up, kick me, hold me tight (The Musketeers Leverage AU)
A big reception hall, shining floors, expensive chandeliers, dress suits, latest-fashion gowns, fake smiles, champagne flutes, Rolexes.
Knight, Gay and the Devil (The Musketeers Canon Era Demon AU)
"Now you see, we simply had to call the guards!"
(if you ask which ones here I'd rec, it would have to be the Leverage AU, "Knight, Gay and the Devil" (unfinished) (I know I'm sorry) and the "when I first read 'Hamlet'...")

i've been thinking a lot about cyrano de bergerac adaptations recently
because, okay, a lot of times your weak point is gonna be the central conceit -- the letter writing. what kind of situation do you need for your cristian to agree (to ASK) a guy he barely knows to spearhead his courtship?
i'm not nearly enough of a scholar for this, but i've read that the original play existed in an intellectual era that meant it was actually plausible that roxane would reject cristian if he wasn't well-spoken enough. but that's really hard to transfer to the modern era! especially because you want your audience to be FOND of roxane, instead of kind of. side-eyeing her as a snob.
roxane (1987) gets past this by... well, first off, being the kind of nerdy movie that snobs enjoy, but secondly by making christian awkward around women -- SO awkward that he freezes up around them, which also very neatly explains the letters thing.
because that's the other problem! why have letters when you can have text messages or even dates?
the letters have to come from the inability to woo in-person -- the issue is that modern AUs don't have the built-in reason that a courtly-love story does. i haven't seen the half of it, but i know it's set in a high school, and damn what a good way to work in the letters thing. Talk About A Context Where You Don't Control Who You Spend Time With !
back to cristian and cyrano. the main choice to make, with regards to the letter-writing conceit, is who brings up the idea. in the play, it's cyrano -- hearing cristian's dilemma, he recognizes it as an inverse to his own. it's a very crafty (and self-serving tbh) choice, and it leaves room for cristian to doubt the arrangement and even try to take control pre: balcony scene.
iirc roxane (1987) has christian suggest the scheme -- implying that he doesn't care HOW roxanne falls in love with him, just that she does. (this is either naive or purely an attempt to have sex with her, depending on how you read the movie.) i've never been a fan of this choice. i think a big part of the appeal of cyrano are his flaws, including him butting his nose (ha) into something that he really shouldn't be involving himself in. on the other hand, roxane DID ask for his help... he's a layered guy in terms of morality, okay.
anyway, i guess it depends on how you want to characterize both your cristian and cyrano. how does your cyrano's arrogance manifest? how much agency do you want to give your cristian -- and, again, what kind of guy lets a rando take command of his own budding relationship?

they're just pretty words, my dear (31444 words) by lowhangingfru1t Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
non-magic AU, high school AU
Summary: In all his seventeen years, Remus Lupin had never had a love story of his own. At least not one where anyone got what they wanted. He sighed, turning back around. “One letter. Twenty-five pounds. After that, you’re on your own,” Remus told her flatly. He knew it was wrong to mess around with someone's heart like that, but there were bills to pay. “Yes!” The girl pumped her fist excitedly. Remus tried not to be endeared by it. “You’re a pretty alright person, you know.” “Don’t thank me just yet,” Remus warned. “I’m not guaranteeing you a date with the bloody hotshot or anything. Just a letter.” She beamed even wider. “Just a letter,” she repeated. “Totally.” — How to get out of a small town: the story of a swot, a misfit, a burnout, & a business venture.
Comment: This was such a cute fic, I LOVE Remus and Marlene's friendship and the whole fic felt like I was watching a coming of age film (in the best kind of way)!

Since a traumatic incident six years ago, Castiel Novak’s face has been disfigured by a scar. He’s resigned himself to being someone people can barely stand to look at, let alone love.
Except his heart doesn’t seem to have gotten the message. When Dean Winchester takes over the convenience store down the street from Castiel’s bookshop, Castiel falls helplessly in love with his new neighbor.
To make matters worse, Castiel’s sister Anna is also interested in Dean. Believing that Dean could never love him, Castiel decides to help Anna win his heart instead.

I feel like a Cyrano De Bergerac AU would be an amazing trope in fandom if more people were familiar with it, especially with the potential for OT3s.

wip wednesday :) <3
Tumblr media
hello hello :) thank you for the tags @kiwiana-writes and @orchidscript <3 ate your snippets UP!
here's a wee bit of something new i am affectionately calling "queerano de bergerac" aka a Cyrano AU aka henry is paid to write love letters to alex on behalf of a girl and you can only guess what happens next <3 this is so silly and i kind of adore it. I shared the snippet that comes right before this linked here.
“But somehow you know you are in love with him? I’m not judging you,” He absolutely is. “I’m just trying to understand.” “I guess…I can’t stop looking at his curls in class. They’re so glossy and bouncy. He keeps gatekeeping his curly hair routine and I’m so mad at him for it! And I love to hear what he has to say whenever he raises his hand. He always has great things to add. I think of him when I wake up and when I go to bed and—” “I’m not sure if all of this constitutes being in love, though.” Henry rubs harder at his temple. The headache is slowly but surely making its way to his left side, and he’s getting irritated. “No, it’s definitely love. I think about him all the time! It’s definitely more than a crush. I’ve had crushes before and they’ve all stopped because the guys are so dumb. But Alex…Alex is so different.” Amber has a dreamy expression on her face. Henry doesn’t want to discourage her, not when she’s willing to pay him for something he could do in his sleep. So, he continues.  Henry grabs a pen from his backpack, uncapping the lid with his teeth. “Okay. Okay. There’s some stuff we can work with here…how you want to see only him, how you think he’s interesting and popular…that you think he’s smart and cool…we’ll just have to tweak it a little.” He’s crossing out parts of the letter in red and adding in a few words here and there. He can salvage this. Amber is quiet, which Henry knows is deeply concerning. “Have you ever been in love, Henry?”

WIP Wednesday Prologue Challenge
(I should probably actually do the challenge for my own event lol)
So many WIPs!
1) Not Broken At All
Killian gives a short, humourless laugh, head hanging slightly as he works a dampened cloth over the bloodied skin of his neck. “Believe me, Swan, it’s very easy to do nothing.”
2) His
She already hates the idea of this shop being sold and taken over by someone else or turned into a saloon or a tack shop or something else less wonderful and beautiful than the dimly lit, clustered little book store. 
3) Honey don’t feed it (It will come back)
"I don’t think anyone knows enough about you to warn me off… or warn me on.” 
“That’s not a thing.”
“Sure it is.” She pulls the empty stopper away. “Sorry, Chewie, that’s all of it.” 
Oh, hell, she’s bloody named it.
4) A Swan by Any Other Name (AKA Bi!Killian fic)
The quartermaster rolled his eyes. “Aye, Captain. Just remember, killing one on the first day invokes fear; killing two invokes mutiny.” 
5) Madly (a Cyrano de Bergerac AU)
“And what do you feel?”
“I feel… I feel the way I did the first time I saw the sea.”
“Go on.”
“It was terrifying”
“I terrify you?”
“Aye. frighteningly powerful, awe inspiring and strong willed, I knew that she could destroy me without even intending to. And I knew that I would never again want to be apart from her.”
“And now?”
“I’m reminded of the first time I fell in.”
6) Untitled silver Killian won’t date Emma fic
“Oi! What the hell was that for?” Will gasps, cradling his arm protectively to his side. Emma slaps it again. “Ow!”
“Are you kidding me?” Smack. “After six months -” smack. “I finally get him to ask me out -” smack. “I finally get him home. And you do this.” She lands three slaps in a row to his shoulder.
“Stop hitting me!” 
“No -” smack. “Do you have any idea how much goddamn furniture I bought? For nothing!”
“Ow!”
7 & 8)How did it end up like this? (It Was Only a Kiss sequel) and Pining fic (an earlier version of only a kiss)
No words yet - just vibes.
9) Optometrist fic (I don’t think I’ll continue this one tbh)
“Fine,” she sighed, deciding it wasn’t worth the battle. “How long is this going to take?”
10) Pride and Prejudice AU
It was a bright, sunny, and perfectly pleasant afternoon when Cora burst into the room and disrupted it. 
“Have you heard?” She shouted, forcing all three men to jump in their seats and take note of her. Killian set down his book, wondering what could possibly have thrown his stepmother into such a state. His brother rushed to her side, trying to urge her to sit as she panted in excitement as though she’d run all the way home from the market. Their father barely looked up from his cards. “Misthaven Castle is let at last!” 
11) Remember the Night AU (I forgot about this one)
“Listen, if don’t come with me then I won’t go to Boston. I can’t let you stay in this city with nowhere to go. It’s my fault you’re in this mess and I feel a certain responsibility for you.”
“You didn’t make me steal the watch,” she deadpans. 
He tries again. “If you don’t come then you’re going to make me miss Christmas with my family. Can you live with that?”
..........................................................................................................
Honestly a lower number than I was dreading!

All the titles listed in your WIP game sounded interesting, so it was difficult to choose! I finally settled on Cereal de Birkenstock.
Thanks, and happy writing!
Hiiii!! Thanks so much for asking! @lesquatrechevrons also asked about this one, so I'm tagging you too! WIP ask game here
You've selected a Steddie WIP! This one is part of an as-yet-unwritten series that I'm tentatively titling "you have to steddie the classics" where each fic is inspired by some classic piece of literature. Some will be more meta and some will be more like an AU. You know... when I actually get around to writing any of them.
Anyway, I'll let the boys explain. Here is a snippet, set shortly before Season 1, where Eddie has just impressed Steve in their English class:
"So maybe you could, like, write me some poems or something to give to her. You know, cause she loves that shit," Harrington said awkwardly. Eddie squinted at him. "You want me to help you Cyrano de Bergerac Nancy Wheeler?" Harrington reared back, an offended look on his face. "Excuse me?" he spat. "Watch your fucking mouth!" "No, you idiot," Eddie sighed. "It's this play where a guy asks his friend to help him woo this chick by slipping him lines and stuff." Harrington pursed his lips and blinked. "Oh. Well then, yeah, I want you to help me, uh, Cereal de Birkenstock Nancy Wheeler." Eddie considered him for a moment. "No," he said firmly.
And that's it, that's the whole thing so far 🤣🤣I will get to it one day!
Thanks so much for playing! 💜💜💜

hello! im in love with the way you write - dark and twisty but oh so lovely. i love how you put so many intertextual allusions too - do you have any reccs (literature, poetry, song, fanfic anything really)?
This is such a compliment and also a cool assignment. Let me see. What are some things I can share…
Tumblr media
This art ^
Cyrano de Bergerac (1990 French film). If you’ve never seen it, it’s a beautifully costumed rendition of my favorite tragedy. I’m not usually much for tragedy but this one really satisfies me. The English subtitle translation renders the poetry parts well.
“Windmills of your Mind” A song
Tumblr media
freshly turned soil by the hydrangea bush, by s.s.
A video essay about a play through of a video game about a book about a house
“Su Prabhat”, a violin piece
With some caveats about violence and mental illness in media, I usually recommend both the Fight Club movie and book. The book especially has a kind of disjointed but evocative prose I think really holds up to analysis.
If you’ve never read it before, I also recommend “Small Gods” by Terry Pratchett. Wonderful mix of comedy and philosophy. Influenced me a lot, in kind of the opposite way that Voltaire’s “Candide” influenced me a lot
Also “The Goblin Emperor” (abused & exiled prince learning how to be king) and its sequels which aren’t really sequels but ARE fantasy world consulting detective genre. These are really not anything like my style, I just like them. 
I hesitate to recommend fanfic because it relies so much on prior context; and if it doesn’t, then when you get into the fandom you’ll realize belatedly that it really isn’t reflective of the source material at all. That said, here are a couple that moved me:
“Excerpts of a 123-year love letter from Gotham to London, (ongoing).” Yes, they mean the cities themselves
Total au, time period setting and even gender. Professional wrestling, lesbians, and misunderstandings.
The existential horror of being caught in a franchise where you are the antagonist (and you will do it forever). The existential horror of being in love (it will take all of you).
An AU where the doctor character who is always on the good guys side takes the other path and joins the franchise bad guys, The Decepticons. Only, in the very beginning of a revolution, all that good and bad stuff isn’t yet set in stone.
