WIP First Lines
I truly do love a good opening, so getting to share some first lines is a real fun one for me to be tagged in. Thanks @cypanache for tagging me.
For this I opted to limit myself only to my two most recent writing docs or this list would have been ridiculously long instead of just, you know, long.
Some of these may not end up being the actual first lines, but they are what I currently got there to start with. So with that said, and without further ado…
SW, Obidala:
1.
A harmless invitation goes a bit sideways.
2.
He mapped out the constellations of far away worlds against her skin, no touch of his lips on her body seemed to be without purpose. Everything held a sense of meaning.
3.
It began, almost fittingly, with a double take.
4.
“We’re allowed our lapses, Obi-Wan,” she said, as if she could sense the conflict stirring inside of him. Her hair a mess of loose curls she tried to swipe away from her eyes. “They remind us that we’re human. And there is nothing wrong with that.”
5.
He dreamed in the deepest shades of blue; of the places brushed by grief, and the shimmering hue of her long billowy dress.
She was his sadness made flesh. Not real, but tangible. To be felt. Always just that.
For that was all that was left of her.
6.
She pushed herself against the wall, as he pushed himself into her.
Urgency and a frenzied kind of madness had overtaken him at the mere sight of her. The seductive simplicity of her in nothing more than a barely there nightgown of sapphire washed silk and an unruly tide of tousled brown curls spilling down her bare shoulders.
7.
The proposal had been completely innocent. Well-meaning in its initial intent. The idea had come to her then and she had simply thought to ask. Really, she had thought nothing of it.
OUAT, Golden Swan
1.
“It’s quite the thing,” it mused, wearing an old forgotten face, a strange but perhaps purposeful choice for the Darkness to make, “to seek out and covet death. Not the ending one would imagine for a love story.”
2.
Her eyes are full of timeless tales.
Some as old as time. Fluttering back into the present. Fragmented speckles of a lifetime of broken promises and stubborn hope, shaded in a spiraling landscape of glittering greens. The subtle dark jade of envy; vibrant emerald of a rebirth; an endless evergreen of love; and just the softest hint and budding pine of corruptibility.
3.
He kills the boy and rewrites the story.
Starts by making them all forgot that particularly dark deed. His sickly act of cowardice and self-preservation. Then moves on to the next chapter of the tale by claiming a powerful queen from the proverbial game board to have and to hold by his side.
4.
“There’s a deal here.”
“Still so sure of yourself, Miss Swan. No matter how many times you’ve failed to play a meaningful hand against me.” He looked amused. Maybe a tad too pleased with how the cards have fallen in his favour, yet again. “There’s no version of this where you come out unscathed.”
5.
“Your hand is trembling.”
The sound of his voice seemed to jerk Emma from whatever trance she had fallen into. She turned sharply to look up at him, but there's a slight glaze to her eyes that told Rumplestiltskin that she hadn't come back fully just yet.
6.
The Evil Queen doesn't mince her words. Takes—maybe a bit too much—pride in saying them to his face with a smirk smeared across her apple red lips.
"A love like that will ruin you."
7.
He’s a fickle and jealous man, and so he makes the pirate stay dead.
Bonus OUAT, Golden Swan Queen:
1.
They are conflicted. He, by true love. She, a possible soulmate.
What they wanted, what’s been saturated into their blood and bones and temperamental hearts, was now a liability to their happy endings.

I'm still new and very much lacking in mutuals to tag, and it seems like most of the Obidala crew I know have already been tagged by others. So what the hell, I'm just gonna tag some fav writers of mine: @thestorieswesay @lazybakerart @lemonlovely @harringroveheart @justadram @lainelannister

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.
Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

i'm a genius
and if anybody else out there with access to a button press wants to make these pins for themselves i've included a sheet to print out under the readmore
as long as you're printing this in portrait orientation without margins on a 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper, this should print out in the correct sizes for 25mm buttons and 37mm buttons respectively
apologies if tumblr shrinking the image size makes the image quality not so great if you print this out as it is, i'd suggest putting it through a threshold filter so it just uses black ink

Tagged by @blakbonnet and @darkinerry. 💕
relationship status: single
favorite colors: purple, especially a really rich, dark purple
song stuck in my head: honestly that country song trending on tiktok that goes "he's bouncing off my booty cheeks I love the way he rides, I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside." I have no shame.
last song i listened to: Songbird - Fleetwood Mac is on at this very moment
three favorite foods: pretty much any pasta, but especially gnocchi. any kind of bread/tomato/cheese/herb combo. Reese's peanut butter shapes (eggs and pumpkins are tops, followed by hearts.)
last thing googled: Target's Barbie clothing line. (I bought an oversized t-shirt and a tank top I am very excited.)
dream trip: Honestly very few places I'd say no to, but Italy and Aotearoa have been top of my list for a while
anything i want rn: this is.....a very loaded question to ask me right now given everything going on so I'm going to give a less depressing answer and say focus to actually work on one of the half dozen fic ideas I have percolating instead of just thinking about them. Also OFMD S2.
Not tagging anybody because I haven't been online enough to track who's been doing this, but if you are bored and in need of a distraction, consider yourself tagged. Mwah.
