Er... @iwritevictuuri tagged me, and apparently Iâm supposed to post the first line of a work in progress and then tag as many people as there are words in that line.
Iâm not good at tagging people, so I figure if I give you a handful of  first lines thatâs almost equivalent?
Yuuri wakes from the comforting oblivion of sleep the same way he biffed his quad Salchow yesterday: all at once, to splintering pain.
In Victor Nikiforovâs dreams, he is fire and he is falling.Â
Number three--the first line is just âHOUSEMATE WANTEDâ so Iâll give you the whole advertisement + the first actual line that isnât an ad.
HOUSEMATE WANTED
Pakala Beach, Kauai, HI
$800/mo + utilities
about us: ridiculously cool, laid back (19 & 23), surfers. bffs. not together. everyone always asks so weâll save you the time.
we cook, we clean, we surf, we pay our bills in a responsible fashionâyou should too.
about the house: surferâs paradise, literally 100 yards from Pakala Beach, back yard has five mature fruit treesâbananas, mangos, avocado, oranges, lemonsâchickens everywhere (itâs kauai guys) and we know where to find the eggs. your bedroom is on the second floor, off the lanai that looks out on the beach. youâll share a bathroom with housemate #2. weâre a no-shoes-in-house household.
about you: itâs illegal to state a preference for race, gender, etc. in housing advertisements, and also, weâre not jerks, so you be you, but weâre super-gay so if you happen to be a jerk and this is a problem for you, now is a good time to fuck right off. you should also be relatively neat. pets ok, but no parrots because those fuckers are loud. houseguests are inevitable but we donât want others crashing here on a regular basis.
occasional parties fine but housemate #2 is a shy retiring bean and we need to be considerate of his delicate sensibilitiesâŚ
âPhichit,â Yuuri said, reading over his housemateâs shoulder, âIâm pretty sure this is false advertising.â
