rules: post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. (sort by date posted.) if you have less than 10, post what you have!
I was tagged by @giraffeter and @aikinn! thank you so much š
I only have 5 fics posted to ao3 so far (2 for KP and 3 for myen), so I'm gonna cheat a little bit and post some first lines of wips too š„°
Chart Topper (Porsche/everyone) / Between Your Teeth (Porsche/Ken)
(BTY is an alternate ending to chapter 1 of CT, so their opening lines are the same)
The job seems simple enough.
Kinn is attending the extravagant housewarming event of the firstborn daughter of one of the Theerapanyakul family's oldest allies. It's an enormous event, the guest list extending to hundreds of friends, and allies, and friends of allies, and allies of friends; mostly, Porsche suspects, to show off just how much space there is to entertain guests in the sprawling property.
Let Me Live in Your Mind (King/Ram)
Ram feels the moment King falls asleep. His arms relax around Ram's body, the gentle rise-and-fall of his chest evening out against Ram's cheek, his heartbeat slowing to a gentle thrum beneath Ram's ear.
King fights him all the way into the tent, but Ram guides him anyway. He's not going to leave him. Not like this.
The train journey home from his grandma's house is long and uneventful. King stares out of the window for most of the journey, watching the trees and wildflowers go by, streaking past the window in blurs of colour amongst the monotony of towns and houses and people. He admires the greens and yellows and earthy browns and tries not to think too much about Ram.
and that's everything I've published on ao3 so far! so here are some opening lines from the WIPs that currently have opening lines hehe -
Silver Clouds with Grey Linings (Big/Ken)
Big wakes to an inferno.
There's heat, and thereās pain; pain like nothing he's ever felt before; pain that tears through his flesh, carves itself into his bones; pain that claws its way into the very root of his existence. It fills his lungs, choking him, burning him from the inside, too, like he's burning on the outside, like he's burning everywhere; and all at once, Big knows he's going to die.
As soon as they're alone, Ken slams him against the door, hard, pinning him in place with an arm across his chest.
Footnotes (one-sided Kinn/Big)
"Khun Kinn and I grew up together," Big tells the new recruit.
It feels like a flippant, blasphemously trivial way of phrasing it; paradoxically both far too intimate and not nearly intimate enough to describe Big and Kinn's relationship.
Chart Topper chapter 4 (Big/Porsche)
"Itās not actually that surprising how often you've all kissed each other," Porsche says, looping around the room and topping up everyone's glasses, "considering how often we all seem to end up getting drunk."
š„°thank you again for tagging me! I'm tagging @tumsa , @cytharat , @kinnsporsche - I don't completely remember who's already done this so sorry if that's a double tag š«£ and no pressure obviously!
