Guessing meme

[kangeiko]

From sidewinder:

Comment with a sentence from one of my fanfiction stories. Without looking, I have to try and guess which fic of mine the sentence is from. If I fail, the challenger wins a drabble request.

I promise not to cheat. :)

The drabble request can be in any fandom for which I've already written stuff, or you can try your luck with something I haven't attempted before (I am still working on my 100fandoms, after all); for prompts, please give me a character/pairing plus a word/concept.

My fic can be found here (and the listing was recently updated, too).

"I think I'm going to the special hell."

I think I'm going to gack this one later. :-) Request will be made upon failure to identify, assuming that happens. *g*

Oh God, I have no idea, I am going to be so crap at this... Um... It's probably Jossverse, so... *desperately trying to think of all/any Jossverse fics, good god, did I even write any???*

Um... is it 'take care of yourself for me'?

Oh, my God, honey, you didn't even guess in the right fandom! It's from your "X-Men" movieverse Emma/Bobby fic. *g*

I would KILL for any of the following (I give multiple choices, because I'm a lovely person ;-)):

Fandom: "Heroes." Pairing: Peter/Claire. Concept: Immortality. Word: Apocalypse.
Fandom: "Angel." Pairing: Connor/Illyria. Concept: Survival. Word: Cat.
Fandom: "Jekyll." Pairing: Hyde/Katherine. Concept: Boredom. Word: Bastard.
Fandom: "Mists of Avalon." Character: Mordred. Concept: Fate. Word: Guilt.
Fandom: "Drive." Pairing: Alex/Kathryn. Concept: Illusion. Word: Alone.

I think five possible choices sounds fair and flexible. :-D

I sense that this is going to be a recurring theme...

They do indeed! Now if only I was familiar with more than one of them... Is 'Jekyll' the Stephen Moffat thing? 'cause I recently bought that, and should probably watch it. Erm.

Anyway, a quickie off the bat, just for you -

Fandom: "Angel." Pairing: Connor/Illyria. Concept: Survival. Word: Cat.

It's high summer and scorching hot outside, the temperature hovering somewhere above a tolerable level for humans and the sun toxic in the empty sky. Even the light has an appetite these days, stinging at her flesh as if it could draw blood.

She makes her way carefully across the asphalt, picking through the melting walkways and scorched grass. The streets are still and quiet, the only sound the gentle beat of insects' wings and the soft, sonorous scuttling of tiny legs. They are the real heirs of this dilapidated world.

One of the houses has a door still mostly intact. There is what was once a cat stretched out on the lawn, paper-thin, crisping up in tiny flakes under the glare of the afternoon sun.

If she's lucky, she will not meet any would-be pretenders to this world's throne. Come nightfall, when the remaining population emerged, blinking, into the welcoming coolness of twilight, she will be able to creep back to the barricaded hovel she calls 'home' to find Connor asleep on their bed, his limbs spread-eagled like an offering on the scrunched-up comforter.

If she's very lucky, she will have found enough water to share, this time around.

Oh, and re: "Jekyll." Yes, it is the Moffat thing, although allow me to correct your sentence a little: it is the BLOODY FUCKING AMAZING Moffat thing. I love it. You must watch, straight away!

P.S. I did gack this meme. Go try your chances at winning one over me. ;-)

Well - I'll probably bring it with me on holiday, in that case. :)

Done and done, missy - *gears up for battle*

I'm taking that to mean you liked it. :)
