Thoughts of a late night knitter

It's the belated Six Sentence Sunday post again!

Here's yet another extract from a WIP I wish I could finish :)

“I may throw up on you,” he said and I liked him straight away.

He’d already caught my attention when he was arguing with the ensign and he cemented that by offering me his hooch. Anyone who shared their booze like that was worth knowing, and he was for sure different to all the other people on that shuttle. There was no uniform consistency about him and that drew me in like a moth to the flame.

Of course me being me, I didn’t realize what I was feeling; or even if I was feeling.

On Monday again...

"What would you wish for Captain?"

Bones is nearby, so you smile and give one of those answers that people expect from you. They all laugh and you sigh internally and quietly wish for the one thing you've wanted forever it seems...for Bones to call you darling.

It's not just the word you want, (though it in itself is special. To Bones darling is for Joanna, his mother, or grandmother - well loved family) you crave the tone of voice he uses.
Bones has as many voice tones as he does eyebrow raises and they convey just as much emotion.

Stolen from the lovely romankate.

Post the first line of current works in progress and ask flisters to post theirs and then link in the comments.

This may be the only way my fics will see the light of day...

There are other, older wips that I really want to finish. But I'll spare you them this time.

Lifted from tygermama and strangevisitor7: Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

Some of these are extreme WIPs, which means they haven't been edited or spell-checked or anything :)

1. Mr Chris stood and glared, hands brushing his guns; and Mr Ezra drawled something that back on the plantation would’ve meant a duel in the morning and the fella backed down.

2. She was loved and cared for, pampered and preened; a showcase of her parents’ achievements.

3. He trailed the blood from the engine room to the bridge and found Mal lying dead only inches from the button Wash had made.

4.“I was born in the seventh minute, of the seventh hour, on the seventh day."

5. He couldn’t believe the Captain had let the Sheriff and his goons take his guns.
