delphiSix Sentence Sunday: Post six sentences from whatever you're working on, if you're game! Folks who don't want to make their own posts are very welcome to share their snippets here.
From "Blessing the Bed" (Our Flag Means Death, Frenchie/Izzy, a getting-together fic set during s2):
From "Blessing the Bed" (Our Flag Means Death, Frenchie/Izzy, a getting-together fic set during s2):
"You ever think about it?" Frenchie asked, inclining his head toward the happy couple. Pete had tried to dip Lucius, and Lucius was now frozen halfway down, clearly trying to stay calm as he clung to Pete's shoulders and delivered hissed instructions for straightening up without triggering his bad back.
"Dancing? No. But go ask Jim if they'll take you for a whirl."
"I'm not much of a dancer either," he said, laying his cheek back on Izzy's knee. "I meant...you know, getting a matelot. Being married."
He felt Izzy's leg tense.
"Nah," Izzy said with a showy scoff, which only made him sound like he'd swallowed wrong.

Date: 2026-06-28 07:15 pm (UTC)Funny story, I saw Luthien posted a Six Sentence Sunday, I thought the post was yours and replied with my own underneath! Doh!🤦♀️
So here is my one:
“You’re strong, for a bird,” Bodie gasped, looking up at Jenna.
“I’m not a bird. I’m a human.”
“He is using 20th century derogatory slang for a woman,” said Avon. “They called women birds back then.”
Vila said, “how rude.”
Cally glared.
“I’m not strong for a woman. Human women are equal to human men and don’t you forget it.” Jenna pushed her knee harder onto Bodie.
From my crossover Professionals/Blake's 7 fic The Time Squad Factor.😅

Date: 2026-07-02 12:25 pm (UTC)I only have two lines but I'm really pleased with them:
"They told me I have grown taller than my father. It is strange to think when I looked up to him like the mountain side eclipsing the sun."

Date: 2026-07-03 06:25 am (UTC)(And I'm admittedly a real sap for the idea of Frenchie putting his head on Izzy's knee. One of the things that really made me ship them - in addition to saving each other's life and holding hands at one point - is this moment where Frenchie is sitting at Izzy's feet and leaning against him, positioned on the side Izzy's injured on while Izzy's bodily between him and oncoming death.)
