Am run off my feet, so distract me...

[elisi]

1.) Go to my master fic list and pick out a line or two from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please -- no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense.)
2.) I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.
3.) There might be a drabble/random fic snippets in it for anyone who stumps me.

They both looked equally shocked, which was not something he often saw and he took a moment to savour the experience.

[elisi]

Oh! The Election seen from Torchwood Cardiff?

(This is a very peculiar meme - as in, it's really weird to having to place your own words.)

[the-redjay.livejournal.com]

You're good!

Next one:
He was sure this time would be no different.

[elisi]

OK, I give up. (Partly because it's driving me crazy which is very distracting and frustrating! Grrr.)

But well done you!

[the-redjay.livejournal.com]

Goodbye to you, Sunnydale. ^^ Do I get a drabble? *wink* No, I kid, unless you're game. But it's a fun game, né?

[elisi]

*headdesk repeatedly*

And you *might* get a drabble when I'm less rushed, although I am working on the next chapter of 'Dating...' in my spare moments, so you could have that dedicated to you?

ETA: Oh - or I've got a bit of the Josh chapter that got cut? Lovely little scene. :)

[the-redjay.livejournal.com]

Haha no, honestly, I'm kidding! Don't stress yourself over me. By the way, I borrowed the meme, is ok? It's here.

[elisi]

Oh no stressing at all! I just like to re-cycle stuff if I can. Here's the Josh snippet, which got cut because the chapter was *ridiculously* long already. Hope you like. :)

(And I snagged the meme off my flist, so it's not mine at all! *g*)

*****

Once more Josh contemplated the horrible mistake that had been Cheating Bastard (as he had named the guy in his mind). Not that the night hadn’t been well spent (damn he’d been fit), but being woken by an outraged girlfriend screaming ‘Who the hell is that?’ was so far one of the worst moments of his life.

The fact that Cheating Bastard’s first words had been ‘I thought you weren’t coming back until tomorrow!’ hadn’t done anything to improve the mood...

(Although when Outraged Girlfriend had frostily asked ‘So what’s he got that I haven’t?’ Josh had been forced to bite his cheek so hard he drew blood, so as not to lose it.)

Once he’d been able to get a word in edgeways he’d tried his best to exonerate himself - explaining that if he’d known Cheating Bastard was seeing someone he’d not have touched him with a barge pole, and that he was happy to do whatever Outraged Girlfriend wanted, whether keep completely shtum, or tell the world that Cheating Bastard was a crap shag.

At which point Cheating Bastard had begun to look even more worried, and Josh had snarked that maybe this would cure him of any future ‘curiosity’, before walking out, trying to cling to whatever scraps of dignity he still had.

*snuggles Josh* But I really love it. Poor lad.

[elisi]

Yay, you like it! :) I adore my Josh - I've got his story allll worked out, so there'll be another 'interlude' later on, definitely.

[me-llamo-nic.livejournal.com]

But before he can open his mouth, she answers the question he doesn’t know to ask.

[elisi]

Between Canons: Not Fade Away. (Illyria and Angel.)

This is fun! :)

[calliopes_pen]

Then in one swift movement he brought out the strange tool he calls a screwdriver and aimed it squarely at the young man’s chest.

[elisi]

Mrs Saxon's Diary! :D

(Which I nearly misspelled as 'Dairy'...)

[deird1]

How about this one:

So she picks what she hopes is the least lame answer.

[elisi]

*points to icon*

(I hope! ::crosses fingers::)

[deird1]

Yep!

[elisi]

*feels clever*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

The Doctor smiled.

[elisi]

The Master Returns. Again.

?

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Impressive! I already forgot and had to go and double-check which story I pulled it from, but you're right on the ball!

[elisi]

Aw, now I'm feeling all clever. *g*

Although it's a very interesting meme - I've discovered that what I need to do is to discover the character's motivation, and then I can place it. (Yours was rather tricky, actually, because the Doctor could smile for a hundred different reasons, and when did I make him smile? In the end it was the briefness of the sentence that made me figure out that it was probably from that fic, since I remember cutting everything down to the minimum.)

And did I ever mention that I'm REALLY good at rambling?

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Haha. Can't you just hear the Doctor saying, "Rambling is good. I ramble now."

[elisi]

Oh yes. Hence the icon! *g*

(And what are LJs for anyway?)

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Indeed. :P
