It’s been so long since I’ve written enough to bother doing this, gosh! (Skipping drabbles, obviously)
* Tutor hovers for a moment, balancing his weight above Fighter. (Ask Yourself, Why RU fps & rps, Tutor/Fighter, Saint/Zee)
* Their conversation on the drive to the beach flows freely: light chatter, comfortable silence, a little history. (You are a welcoming back from the ocean, Why RU, Tutor/Fighter)
* Zee was a fan of Saint before they were coworkers, before they were friends, before they were whatever they’re becoming now, and sometimes the Saint in front of him flickers through all those Saints at once. (The secret is not minding what you don’t understand, Why RU fps, Saint/Zee)
* Taejoo’s been waiting for three years or six or maybe his whole life, so he can wait a little bit longer as they call for a car, as Guk retrieves his suitcase, as they make their way back to his hotel. (Everything you want, Where Your Eyes Linger, Taejoo/Guk)
* Xiao Zhan hadn’t thought of him in ages, not properly. (I’ll bring my camera out to sea, Untamed rps, Xiao Zhan/Wang Yibo)
* Qiao Chusheng has always been good at hiding. (Unravelled, My Roommate Is a Detective, Lu Yao/Qiao Chusheng)
* The blade had been hers since she was barely more than a child, and her father might have said she was too young for it still, but he’d been gone too long to have a say. (Her body a blade, Cat-Eye Willie Claims His Lover, Bonnie Brown)
* A part of Reese had always been waiting, ever since she was small, hiding behind the barriers she had started to build even before her mother left. (Leave comfort root-room, Wilder Girls, Reese/Hetty/Byatt)
Plus last year’s Yuletide since obviously this year’s is still secret:
* Having run out of places to start over in Hong Kong, Yiu-Fai and Po-Wing leap the other side of the world. (The spring wind knows, Happy Together, Lai Yiu-fai/Ho Po-wing, Lai Yiu-fai/Chang)
Look, you can call it a tendency towards run-on sentences, but *I* call it a *voice*.
