valarltdIt's going around again.
You know the rules. I post some first and last lines of fic here. If any inspire you, write a drabble (100 words) using them.
1) The dead child lay screaming on the bier.
2) "Isn't anybody dressed?"
3)"Xander, stop fidgeting with your bow tie or you're going to have to retie it."
4)"Well," came the clipped voice from the darkness, "that was less than a total success."
5) Pain flooded him as he stood up.
6) There is a saying here on Coruscant: "The whores in the Pleasure Quarter know the news before the whores in the Senate."
7)"Put down the utensil and back away from the food processors with your hands in the air!"
8) They walked out of the cemetery together.
9) The train chuffed through the snowy city.
10)"Do you know how much I want to fuck you?"
11) At the best of times, Luke was funny, strong willed, determined and sensual.
12) "Beautiful darlings," Leia beckoned from the door. "I want both of you."
13)Rick deposited AJ on the bed and watched him sleep.
Last lines
1)Then he would lie on his large empty bed and try not to think too much about Jenny and Willow asleep in their cold narrow ones.
2) "So, chocolate or strawberry?"
3)He raised one hand and vanished into the darkness before the sun rose.
4) I won't get in the way.
5) The first star of the evening gleamed like a seal on the promise.
6)Shielding his eyes, he looked up at the sun, and saw the handsome god within it pull the reins and rear his horses in salute.
7)They tumbled together on the blanket in the warm, dusty sunshine.
8) Jim sat in the sun, sipped coffee, and listened to the Hottentot war march coming from the kitchen. And smelled baby oil.
9)The bartender went back to sweeping up the broken glass from the fireplace.
10)"We've got other plans for tonight."
11)His day off to a good start, Dooku programmed the hovercar to return by a different route.
12)All the letters began the same way, "Hey Doll and Milner too."
13)"Let's see what I can do about that ring, huh?"

Some S&H for you....
Date: 2005-06-28 02:17 am (UTC)Starsky sighed, laying his hands on Hutch's broad shoulders, and looking out into the night. "What'd you expect, babe?"
Hutch leaned his head back until his hair brushed his partner's stomach. "I expected pretty much what happened. I mean, they never accepted me becoming a cop, so why should this be any different?"
"It is different." Starsky felt Hutch start at the fierceness in his voice. "They're your parents, Hutch, it's their job to love you. And who you're sleeping with shouldn't make a damn bit of difference."
"But it does." The sadness in Hutch's voice made Starsky's chest ache deep inside, right over his heart.
"Yeah, it does." Starsky sighed again, sliding his hands down Hutch's arm to take his hand in his own. "Come to bed." He tugged gently on Hutch's hand, drawing him to his feet. "You have to let it go."
"I don't know if I can."
"You have to." Starsky pulled his partner into his arms and pressed his lips to Hutch's. "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere, no matter what. I don't care about them. And I love you."
Hutch buried his face in the curve of Starsky's throat for a moment, before taking a deep breath. "I love you too, babe."
When he lifted his head, Hutch's blue eyes were clear again. Not happy, not yet, but no longer hurting like they had been since they'd seen his parents. That was a good start. Starsky could take care of the rest.

Pain flooded him as he stood up.
He leaned back against the wall of the cave he’d holed up in and evaluated his situation. The children were safe. He was safe.
The Jedi order was destroyed.
As he took stock of himself he realized that what he’d originally cataloged as pain was actually an acute absence of sensation. The Force was near, but the residual sense of the thousands of Jedi he’d always been subliminally aware of was gone.
His training link with Anakin; however, hadn’t been destroyed. Obi-Wan patted himself down, reassured himself that everything was where it belonged. It wasn’t his pain, then. It was Anakin’s. Vader’s.
He should have delivered the final blow. He should have had the mercy to put his student out of his misery. But he hadn’t been able to do it.
He didn’t imagine that the Council – that Yoda, since he was all of the council who remained – would have faulted him for it. Perhaps, given what Anakin – Vader – was apparently capable of – killing younglings! – he may have thanked him for it.
But he couldn’t kill his own pupil. If Anakin had turned, it must have been because Obi-Wan had not been a sufficient instructor.
His head fell back against the cold wall of the cave. He was cold and now that he’d stopped moving and he was beginning to feel his own aches and pains from the battles of the recent weeks. He felt the weight of responsibility pressing down on him. His own student destroying the Jedi. And he’d been powerless to stop him.
“You were not ready,” a voice whispered to him. “You did all that was within your power, but you were still a Padawan yourself when you began mentoring Anakin.”
Yoda had prepared him for the possibility of Qui-Gon’s company, but the disembodied voice still startled him.
He said nothing so Qui-Gon continued. “You took him on because of your great loyalty and love for me. Despite your own misgivings – misgivings I had mistakenly believed at the time to have come from your own sense of abandonment – you took on a boy who would have been a challenge for any Master. No one could have done better, Obi-Wan. His turning, is not your fault.”
“He destroyed EVERYTHING!” Obi-Wan finally exploded. “He killed the initiates, the Padawans… His ‘new master’ ordered the destruction of… The REPUBLIC is gone…” Obi-Wan sank down the wall and pulled his cloak around himself, no longer making an effort to hide his tears.
“In time, everything will right itself. I know that is of little comfort now, but when the time is right, you will be instrumental in restoring the Jedi order. Saving Padme’s children was the first step in that direction.”
Obi-Wan barely heard the words, his anguish was so great. The stain of his failure so deeply ingrained on his soul.
So Qui-Gon abandoned logic and explanation in the way he had when Obi-Wan had been small and had been bested in a contest or had failed an exam.
For the first time in many years, Obi-Wan felt the comfort of his master’s arms around him as he cried himself out that first night of his new life on this old world.

"Do you know how much I want to fuck you?"
McCoy quirked an eyebrow. Since the pon farr, he had seen a hidden side of Spock. Still, hearing him talk like a porn star...
Spock touched his face. A blast of desire rushed his mind. He saw a hundred thousand dirty acts and four hundred thousand gentle ones. He saw the now, and the yet-to-be, and the everything-they-had-passed-up but never would again.
No, not saw; he felt it--through Spock.
McCoy shifted in his chair and tugged at his shirt to cover the sticky stain.
Spock still held his eyes. "Now you do."
He did.

Date: 2005-06-29 01:50 pm (UTC)“You know, you’re the only person who’s ever called me that,” Lex murmured softly, turning to smile gently at Pamela.
Even in her illness, she was beautiful, though Lex knew she only had weeks, and that was the most he could hope for. So he was granting her last wishes. Allowing her to build up memories. Allowing that for himself too, if he admitted it. So tonight it would be a fancy party in Metropolis, at least until her meds wore off and they had to leave.
“Your mother did,” she responded, and moved to help him retie it, smiling.
