snorkackcatcher | Fic memes

Because I'm a sucker for fic writing memes, especially when they enable me to put off the hard work of actually writing entire non-drabbly challenge fics ...

lareinenoire: Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Writing a drabble or two might help get me into the rhythm again. :)

melusinahp: Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

1. Bicorn horn he could procure (at the cost of some embarrassment) by passing the acquisition off with a vague hint that it might be required for some kind of marital assistance, and daring anyone to ask questions.

2. Harry swore he could see Caesar wink at them as a small gate opened and they hastily stepped through.

3. Her reactions came in bewildering sequence; fury that the Ministry had been lying through their teeth all year; then self-disgust because she was an old enough hand to have realised that; followed by triumph at the thought that she had been the first one to report the story; and finally sobering horror as the fact that You-Know-Who really was back sunk in.

4. Were it not for my love for Tom Riddle, I would never even have contemplated the things I have done in my life.

5. "Some day you'll be waving your fist at a bunch of kids and telling them not to throw their Quaffle on your lawn, and they'll just look at each other and say 'Who's that silly old codger?'"

6. Night was always a thing of deep blackness on this world, with no moon to speak of and no artificial light beyond the villages, but here day and night had little to distinguish them anyway, and that matched her mood -- it was dark, dark as the night outside and inside, and she saw no prospect of sun again.

Make of that what you will. OK, so I have a tendency to write long sentences!
