Apropos to randomness

Apropos to nothing: I'm wearing a heavy, ankle length skirt today, which means that when I climb stairs, I have to lift it up. This makes me feel like an elegant 18th Century Lady instead of my usual klutzy self. *silly grin*
Apropos to my being a sheep (baaaa): Meme picked up from
nnwest. You have over 85,000 words to choose from...
Stump the writer!
A -- go to the list of my fic (links are here) 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.)
B -- I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.
C -- House Points and a drabble to anyone who stumps me.
Offering drabbles in Torchwood, Doctor Who (any), House, Criminal Minds, Star Trek (TNG/DS9), SG1, Sapphire and Steel, Blakes 7 or Buffy. Do your worst!

Date: 2007-03-28 08:44 am (UTC)That is an AWESOME meme. I would suck at it, as I mostly have forgotten what I've written, but I might have to try it out. I must go to the doctor's now, but I shall try to find you a line when I get back.

Hope the doctor's went ok. BTW, love the new icon :)

and I almost commented on the fic, which would rather have given the game away.

Date: 2007-03-28 02:15 pm (UTC)As for mine, how can I remember writing it (and liking it) and not remember where I wrote it???
Ummmmm...narrowed it down to two...ummmm....*resists urge to cheat*
Yours, mine and his?

The Question
"You ask him."
"Why me?"
"It was your idea."
"No it wasn't!" Willow pauses. "Okay, so it was, but you agreed."
They both look across the Magic Box. He's standing by the bookshelves, a thoughtful look and wistful smile on his face.
Willow turns back to Tara, giving her a nervous smile. " I'm going to do it."
Tara reaches out, squeezes her hand. "Are you sure?"
"Wish me luck."
"For us both." They exchange a hopeful kiss and Willow makes her way towards him, clearing her throat to attract his attention.
"Giles? Did Jack leave you his phone number?"

Date: 2007-03-28 02:22 pm (UTC)"I've got a good team," Jack said, standing up. "They wouldn't let me go that easily. I agree. Let's go."

Date: 2007-03-28 02:49 pm (UTC)Well done, my dear. Guess you won't be drabbling Jack for me. :D

Date: 2007-03-28 03:05 pm (UTC)You're welcome to try another! I'm still rummaging through yours and seti_drd's back catalogues - If I have to write a drabble, so do you :P
Somehow, "drabbling Jack" sounds a whole lot dirtier than it should...the Harkness effect strikes again ;D

Date: 2007-03-28 03:10 pm (UTC)*dirty giggle* This is the same effect that makes my spell-checker want to replace 'Harkness' with 'Hardness' every single time.

Date: 2007-03-28 02:55 pm (UTC)As for your fic...hmmm...
House gives him a calculating look, which Wilson ignores, as he brings the tea through. He didn’t want to talk about it before. Still doesn’t.

Date: 2007-03-28 03:03 pm (UTC)Hmmmm...You know, I really need to re-read my Housefic, don't I? I think this is from "New Jersey Tea Ceremony". After all the hot drinks that get drunk in NLC, I should have known you'd pick that one ;)
*trots over to see what I can find for you*

Good luck!

Date: 2007-04-04 07:04 am (UTC)I didn't know you'd read it :) I've been pleasantly surprised at how well I've done on these - I guess I know my own work better than I think. Of course, there's the advantage that no-one could face ploughing through "The waiting years"... ;)
