2018 – five times words were spoken

@rannadylin tagged me in the top five fic meme, so here are the five completed fics from this year with the most hits, in descending order, and the first line of dialogue from each!

5.  Sunset (hobbit, bagginshield, T, 906 words). 

He was just about to tuck his pipe safely away when Thorin came out to join him, his eyes dropping to the pipe halfway into his jacket pocket. He nodded at Bilbo, a little hesitantly. “Go ahead, Master Baggins,” he said. “Don’t stop on my account.”

 

4. Car Games (ffxv, ignoct, M, 742 words) 

After about an hour of them all sitting around in a dull silence, Prompto knelt up on his chair to look back at him and Gladio and said “I spy, with my little eye…”

3. Reconnect (ffxv, ignoct, E, 1720 words)

“Here,” Noct said, leaning next to him as Ignis started lighting the stove. “I got you something.”

2. Ignoct Bits and Pieces (ffxv, ignoct, E, 4400 words)

  “Good morning,” Ignis said, leaning against the doorframe and watching him fondly.

1. An Accidental Proposal (pillars of eternity, aloth x watcher, T, 6383 words)

 Nelda leaned forward, looking at him curiously. “You’ve come a long way to ask a single question, Lord Brynwigar. Was there something else you wanted from me?”

3 of the 5 lines involve someone leaning on/towards something. Hmm, learned something about my writing there! 

Thank you for tagging me! 

Tagging @mr-smith-i-need-you @sekiful @shimmer-like-agirl @emsiecat @queen-scribbles if you haven’t already done it and would like to! 

niuner:

On December 14th (this Friday), the last season of Voltron drops on Netflix. After working on it for over three years, it’s a bit surreal that it’s all coming to an end. The team has put together so much time and effort into bringing this show to life. Studio Mir in Korea is truly a powerhouse of animation. Voltron would have definitely not been possible without the dedication of the talents working at Mir. To the team, It’s was such a pleasure working with you. For some, we’ve been working together since Korra and what a journey we’ve come together after all these years. For those I met on Voltron, It feels like I’ve known you all my life, and I’m grateful that Voltron finally brought us together. We’ve all grown together, and fought the tough battles. And now that it’s coming to an end, I miss you all. So here’s a memoir piece to sum it all up. Till the next time we come together!
