✒️ Post your written line you really like

Posted 6 years, 9 months ago (Edited 6 years, 9 months ago) by Caine

I have no idea how fast this thread will die considering majority of the people here are artists rather than writers, but it probably won't hurt trying!

The idea of this game are very simple: Post a line (or a few) from your writing project, whether it's a novel, short story or OC bio / background detailing! 
It can be something you're really proud of or something you simply like, or just want to share with other people! Feel free to also tell others a bit about the context if you feel like it

Rules & guidelines:

  • Keep them PG13 max! Let's keep this game something everyone can participate to and read without fear! 
  • Sensitive content should be either blacked out like this THIS or under spoiler. Again, make sure it's PG13 max!
  • No fanfiction lines unless they contain an original character of yours in the line(s) you post!
  • Don't double post. Double posting is allowed! Otherwise this thread will die lmao 
  • You're allowed to post longer chunks of text too, but keep it moderate and put it under spoiler tag so people don't need to scroll through all of it to reach the next post!
  • Feel free to post as IC if your story line is related to a character you have!
Also, here is a general thread for writers if you want to hang out with others or talk about your projects! And if you have anything to ask, feel free to ping or dm me! 
Leonhard (Leon) Millan Caine

Written for a nano thing so the quality is kinda eehh but I like the concept 


As he got older, it only started getting more apparent to the point Leon could no longer consider them a figment of his imagination: these strange beings, sometimes shadows and lights, sometimes people, could do and even say things, and make things happen without Leon doing anything himself.

But he kept quiet. He endured, he adjusted.

And he knew: these things, whether he liked them or not, were real. And just as Leon could see them, these beings could see him.

Here's some dialogue from one of my stories. I kinda like to keep things light in my stories when it's appropriate, so here's a few silly moments. None of these actually have sensitive content, but I just don't want this post to be too long. 

 “Well, I can try to explain everything, but you probably wouldn’t believe me anyways,” The stranger said. He stopped, and waited for Dallas. “I’ll start with this though. My name is Andor Nordmark. Now you have a name to give to the police, just in case.” 

 “Who the hell said anything about the police?” 

 “You did,” Andor said, “Well, you didn’t exactly say it. But you were thinking it.” 

 Dallas narrowed his eyes. “Wait, how did you know that?” 

 “Well you’re not denying it for one thing,” Andor pointed out, “And I have really cool telepathic abilities, for another thing. The fact that you heard your friend calling for help back there tells me that you have them too.” 

 “You expect me to believe that?” 

 “No,” Andor said, “Didn’t I say just a few minutes ago that you wouldn’t?”

 Dallas frowned. “Yeah, you did say that.” 

“Are we… allowed to be here?” 

 “Well, it’s not really breaking and entering if you have a key, right,” Andor replied confidently.

  Dallas sighed. “Well, that’s a relief.” 

 “No,” Andor said, “I was asking you.”

 And possibly my favourite:

"Ara?" Dallas repeated, "What kind of a name is that?"

"You've got an awful lot of nerve asking that, considering that your name is Dallas."

theres one line in a long-discarded romance drabble i wrote that still amuses me to this day

"A part of me says that he's lying to me and just trying to make me feel better.  For once, I tell that part of me to shut the fuck up."

CaptainRobi

I took this from my FFIX Fanfiction.



"Oh...Robi!!" Zidane yelled and charged into me, giving me the biggest cuddle I could ever have.

"What?! I thought you hated me." I asked.

"You think?! 

You saved me Robi, and released something which must have made me so horrible to my friends and it was all thanks to you. It turned me into a completely different person and of course would never neglect you." He said.

Those words were enough to bring me to tears. He'd finally be the brother I always wanted.

"I...I...I...I should have never gone off alone; I'm sorry Zidane,  its was just the way I got angry by the fact that it causes my  destructive behaviour...every time, it's to do with my fury." I  whimpered.

"No...I'm sorry." He went

"Eh?"

"I don't know what came over me, even I know that ain't how I treat a new friend.

After you knocked that crystal out of me, I realised that it wasn't  really my attitude but couldn't do anything about it. I really, really,  want to be your brother and, after what's happened in the past, even if  Kuja was the closest, even then they wouldn't commit to family life.

If you are really who you say you are, then we can go to Memoria and  find out. You must have had a reason to live and so that's where we  should head next.

Now though; Kuja, Mikoto, Me, we'd more than happy to welcome you to our clan.

You're a Tribal now, like us, and hope that is enough to make you  part of something special. Even if you were a biological death machine,  made to bring about the end of the world, but who cares?!

What's more important is that you're back with us and not some stuck up psycho." He smiled.

I gave him one look and immediately burst into tears.

"I'm sorry if I doubted you Robi...and we're going to the best twin brothers ever!" He said, rubbing my back gently.

"Where's Kuja?" I said and apparently Mikoto was the only one left but she too looked around.

"Screw Kuja, he can do his own thing. doesn't understand the true meaning behind bromance." Zidane said.

"Fair enough." I sniffed.

K so this is part of a thing I attempted to write, haven't gone back to it in a while and I probably should lol but I remember really liking this part for some reason xD I'll place it in the spoiler. 

This is written in 1st person pov through Aliester, btw. ^^ Lowkey sucks lol but I'm [very] gradually getting back into editing what I have.


Throughout the week my eyes kept glancing over at Caviar during work. He definitely had some sort of experience, besides the training he received. The way he interacts with the customers is so natural, and he’s able to balance many dishes at once. To be honest, I was probably a little jealous on how quickly he has adapted, but everyone was struck by his charm and efficiency. There were times during our shifts where we got to talk about unimportant things, but most of the time Joutarou took up my lunch breaks wanting to talk about people. No one would've thought he'd be the gossiping type. 

“Could you believe him though? He says his wife's cheating on him but he doesn't seem angry or disappointed, I'd say he's the cheater,” Joutarou said, leaning back on the chair, talking about one of the chefs. We were at a cafe not too far from our restaurant. It's a small cozy place with pretty good food. He pushed his plate near me. “Here, you eat this, I'm full.”

I rolled my eyes. “Goodness, you're worse than a kid and an old lady combined,” I replied, noticing the vegetables left on his plate. “I should force this down your throat.”

“Nah, you love me so you wouldn't dare.”

“Jouta baby, I love people who eat their veggies,” I teased, picking up his fork and sticking it in some broccoli. I held it in front his face. “Now eat,” I said sweetly.

He pouted, then finally took a bite when I shoved it near his lips. “I hate you,” he grumbled, making a weird face.

“I love you too.” I love messing with this guy.

Joutarou sighed. “I can't believe you made eat that vile thing.”

I smirked. “It's not vile, it's healthy.” I started munching on his leftovers.

“Yeah whatever.” He shifted his position the chair, his elbow resting on the table and his head in his hand. “So, you going on your date later?”

I nearly choked on the broccoli. “D-date? What?”

He laughed. “Your drink date with Caviar. Forgot already?”

“It's not like that! Sheesh, it's just to get to know him, that's all.”

“Yeah sure. Don't get too drunk, 'kay? Don't go in his pants either.”

I stood up, plate and fork in each hand. “That's it, I'm shoving this down your throat right now!”

I only managed to get one piece in his mouth when the manager  scolded us and kicked us out.

 Knut Nielsen Caine

This is a small part of some Knut oneshots I have been writing about his time as the king's page boy. There were two other boys too and he had a lot of shenanigans with them lol they're playing "spin the dagger" as they dub it but it's basically the same as spin the bottle with the truth and dare thing. 


“Um, I want you to…”

“Kiss me,” Horace impishly filled in.

“No!” Albus yelled, and then looked at Knut. “Actually, I want you to go over to Horace and punch him.”

“That’s against the rules!” Horace complained. “No bodily harm!”

“How is this not bodily harm?” Albus remarked and pointed at himself and Knut, still sitting like lovers.

“It’s not hurting anything but your pride and that’s only because you’re a coward.”

Albus groaned loudly, and Knut tried to hide a giggle as he watched the two boys bicker.

My oc, Somnus says this to his S.O (sorry I can't link him because his character profile isn't ready yet ><)

I really need to pick this story up again sometime. For context, Mr. Smith is a paranormal investigator who has found a broken android named Memi in an alleyway. He brought her back to his apartment to help fix her up when this scene happens. Writing for Mr. Smith is so fun!


“SMITH, OPEN UP ALREADY!”

“Alright, alright! Hold your horses!”

Mr. Smith had barely begun to turn the handle when the door slammed open and he was pushed back, the barrel of a gun pressed against his forehead. It was held by a man in the uniform of a security guard. More specifically, a security guard from Vega City Labs. And with him were two men in long white coats.

“Well”, said Mr. Smith, “it’s been a while since I was greeted like that”.

“Zip it”, said one of the scientists, his tone curt. “Now, hand over our android and there’ll be no reason to hurt you”.

Memi’s eyes widened. With her leg still on the couch she couldn’t run and there was nowhere left to hide. She should have realised the lab would track her down eventually. Those guys worked fast.

“And what if I say no?” Mr. Smith asked placidly. 

There was a click as the guard released the safety on the gun.

“Ah”, said Mr. Smith.

“Wait. Wait. What is this?”

“What is what? In your hand? That’s my ass.”

Wow it’s like you're the protagonist of ABCs hit new low-budget YA series

Otherwise you really stumbled on some cult ritual site and now you’ve been marked for death by an ancient harbinger of  the unknowable

“What did you put in this tea, by the way?” Katherine then asked and held out her tea cup. “It has a flowery aftertaste.”

“Ah, I just used some of the flowers I picked last summer; I dried them, don’t you remember?”

Katherine was silent for a while, looking at the cup with the kind of frown that showed she was thinking hard. 

Colin smiled. 

“These are not the flowers you dried,” she then spoke slowly and her words started sounding slurred. “What did you do?!”

Her tone was agitated and she gasped for air, but when she tried to raise her hand, nothing happened - she was already far too weak to do anything.

“Oh, but they are!” Colin grinned. “I just put in some extra for you.”
