nickngregI don't know if you've seen this in other fandoms/communities, but many people play a variation on the "name that episode" quote game. But instead of quoting from an episode of a show, they quote from fanfic. I thought it would be fun to play a few rounds together, if anyone is interested.
Basically, I'll start out with three quotes that I enjoy from various N/G stories. If you recognize one or more of the quotes, respond with the name (and links) to the fics, then list quotes of your own. If two people respond at the same time, it doesn't matter, since just sifting through your saved fics and discovering new recs and rereading favorite passages is the point of the game anyway. It doesn't matter how long the quote is, but it shouldn't be too obscure, like, "Hey, Greg," Nick said. It's okay to answer for your own fic too, of course. Consider that like a freebie.
What do you think? Any fun? You can respond straight to this post to avoid clogging the comm and stuff, because that would be sad.
1. No hello, no 'fancy meeting you here', just straight to the point. But Nick doesn't look pissed – he doesn’t even really look all that disturbed by the fact that Greg's turned into a stalker. Alarms are going off in his head but he can't focus on them, can't focus on much of anything other than Nick's body heat and the hand still firmly wrapped around his forearm.
2. After clearing his throat a few times, he manages a weak hello and Greg's grinning that wolfish grin, and Nick silently wonders how long it'll take Greg to notice he gets completely hard every time he sees it. Just then, Sara comes back, smile getting bigger when she sees Greg. She hands him a beer that Nick can only imagine was originally for him, but suddenly it doesn't matter anymore, because Greg's lips are on the edge of the cup and he's all Nick sees; pale expanse of his neck smooth in the soft light from the stage.
3. Morning again. I’m sure you’re brushing your teeth now, looking all sexy and rumply, hair sticking every which way, like just after we’ve…mmm, but I should be going soon. I don’t have time to write all that down, and I don’t wanna wake you up for just a quickie. Although, I love your quickies…Oh, I just wanted to say, have a good day at work. I’ll see you soon.
Any takers?

But then he’s moving again and I’m certain I’ve done something wrong, except that he’s not moving away, he’s gotten so close that I can’t breathe.

5. “Several things, not very interesting… but” Wasn’t there always a but? Archie ticked his fingers off: “A) You should call your mum more often” Nick chuckled. “B) You keep punching the wall every time a case affects you so much, you’ll end up with a broken hand or at the very least broken plaster” Nick nodded, he was aware of it “C) Crane liked seeing you eat. Are you even aware you haven’t eaten vegetables in weeks?” Nick rolled his eyes- Archie was starting to sound like his mum “and D) You should get it off your chest and tell Greg how you feel once and for all” Okay, that did not sound like his mum.

7. I remember the day the world came crashing down on me literally. I had seen Greg in the Lab not five minutes before as I walked into the AV Lab when the floors and walls shook around me and I felt the heat streak from across the hall. When I gathered my thoughts and realized what had happened, I ran out of the room to see orange and yellow dance around the lab. The loud alarm system and water splashing in my face brought me out of my shock, and I saw Sara on the floor, but when I saw her staring at something, I followed her gaze and what I saw shook me to the core. Greg lay there on the floor, and all I could see was glass all around him that sparkled like glitter from the flames of the fire, and it was then that I realized.
