Meme - Stump the writer

[synn]

I know you probably don't believe me, but I do *try* to resist the lure of the meme. Especially when it means posting one meme right after another. This one, however, looked like great fun : )

Stump the writer!
Gakked from svartalfur

Stump the writer!

1] Go to my list of fics (or drabbles) and pick out a line or three 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. I SWEAR I WON'T CHEAT.

C'mon! Try me! : )

Love this meme!

Try this one:

"It seems forever that he is subjected to this scrutiny, and though he resists every urge to squirm or speak, eventually he cannot stay silent, his words coming out in a quiet, bubbling babble."

That's from Understanding : D

Good job! :D

[synn.insanejournal.com]

*cheers* yay me!
lol

Thanks : )

I admit I find it hard to imagine not knowing what something was from... but from what I've seen it's not so easy as it seems.

[sansa1970.insanejournal.com]

LOL Oh trust me, it's harder than it looks.

I got a few doozies yesterday. Like: "That's enough!" and “Where are they going?” Severus demanded. and "I'm fine." O.o

Hee! Most of the time, I could discern whose POV it was, which helped, and if it was past or present tense, which gave me a clue. Auctasinistra said, and I agree, it was a humbling, but fun experience.

Try this one:

"Severus closes his eyes, letting his body relax." ;)

Oh, this one is hard! : ) I'm not at all sure, but I'm going to guess 'the red cloak' ...that's the only place it seems to fit that I can't remember something conflicting with it...

and good grief! those aren't at all fair to give you! they could too easily appear in multiple stories.

Definitely fun and humbling. : )

"The Distance of Skin"

*g* Thanks for playing. I had fun.

[synn.insanejournal.com]

Alas... ah well
Thanks *you* for playing : )
I didn't include it on the meme description, but you get a drabble/ficlet for stumping me, if you like -- any pairing/prompt you want *tempt tempt*

Potter hesitates: an indrawn breath, a lick of his lips, a glance about the room. Potter always hesitates.

[synn.insanejournal.com]

Now *that* is definitely from the red cloak : )

[svartalfur.insanejournal.com]

Bravo! Have another one:

It’s several heartbeats before Severus draws breath again.

The Hierophant! : D

[svartalfur.insanejournal.com]

WOW!

What about this? (And don't worry, it's my last try. Victory's yours anyway. *vbg*)

He pours the tea and leaves it to steep while he checks the cabinet where the basic potions used to be kept.

1:1! *G*

what worry? I like this game!
Thank you --I'll write you a ficlet/drabble for playing-- any pairing/promt, if you want. : )

[svartalfur.insanejournal.com]

How do you do it? *salutes the champion*

Playing was fun! :D

But who am I to resist such a generous offer. Snarry, prompt: fall. But only if you really like to. :D
