Random WIP meme

When you see this feel like it, share 3 random lines from 3 WIPs.

I don't have very many active WIPs, so here, have three from Yuletide/NYR treats that I started and haven't finished.

1. Having a normal life was never an option.

(this is tagged as Maleficent but I think it's actually Sleeping Beauty, Mal-centric)

2. "There," Buttercup says with satisfaction, her smile sharp as a shark's. "We're married, just in time for my beloved to kill you."

(Princess Bride, genderbent AU that also gives Buttercup a shitton more agency)

3. Apropos of nothing aside from perhaps staring at his partner's ass, Jay asks, "Does this job turn you gay? Like, some side effect of the alien doohickeys we always run into?"

(MiB sort-of-consentual noncon porn)

ETA 3b. Kay gives something that for him is a broad smile -- which is to say there's the briefest tug at the corners of his mouth and a wicked glint in his eyes.

(same fic, different part)

*happy purring noises*

1) had shower tonight. They are a pain in the ass but feel so good omg.

2) am all cozy in bed now, yay

3) have set up a tentative system for letting me access water while in bed (it's a setup similar to camelbak, meant for hiking but seems to work for my situation; I will post more about the setup once I've given it a few days to work out the kinks)

4) a hat I bought -- basically this rainbow ombré beanie but with the colors reversed so the purple is at the brim, because purple -- arrived today and it is awesome and makes me ridiculously happy

(the fact that both my mom and one of my aides had a general reaction of "wtf why did you buy something you could make yourself" -- which is kind of a hilarious inversion of the "why knit socks when you can buy them for a dollar at Walmart", but never mind that -- makes me a wee bit cranky. Yes, I could have made it; once I saw the picture I knew pretty much exactly how it was made. But I would have had to buy yarn because I don't have all the necessary colors, plus my rate of finishing stuff is beyond abysmal, and I wanted happy rainbow hat now dangit.)

5) I have cute pets and a cute niecelet who has figured out how to smile and she is the adorablest baby ever, or at least my adorablest niecelet

6) I do not at the moment hurt as much as I sometimes do

Today has ended up being a pretty good day.
