the deep moans round with many voices

Found via askerian:

Pick one of my stories and I will tell you the first line (ETA: okay, the first few paragraphs, on the theory that context is more interesting than concision) of its sequel. Even if I was never actually planning to write a sequel. Even if it already has a sequel -- I'll give you the first line of another version of its sequel!

Do not ask me about "Strange Likenesses," because I don't yet know how that will end (basically, there is the wildly unlikely happy ending, several variants of the rather likely inconclusive ending, and the semi-likely 'rocks fall, everyone dies' ending). Everything else is fair game.

Sequel snippets written so far:

for The Way of the Apartment Manager (So how did Naruto wind up friends with Sakura by the start of "Guardian"? I will probably continue this at some point.)

for Lemonade (Thus proving that I do so know where the story's going.)

for Endurance (This one turned into an actual fic, 900 words long. *headdesk* I am not sure how 'canon' this sequel is, though, as I'd left "Endurance" inconclusive for a reason.)

for New Horizons (ie, the story in which Ginny, Harry, and Draco have a post-DH-epilogue threesome in Greece. Naturally there are repercussions. *grin*)

for The Two Secretive Princesses (925 words on Toph and Mai during Ozai's invasion of Toure-on-Marsh. Rather dark.)
---[[or the more canonical version, which includes fewer deaths and more mentions of Aunt Ermintrude]]

This is kinda-sorta a belated birthday present for askerian, who asked for more Ginny/Harry/Draco threesome fanfic.

"New Horizons" is post-DH, epilogue-compliant, and, despite appearances, not actually intended as crack!fic. Time will tell if I'm able to stick to that plan. Currently, I have four chapters planned. Time will tell if I can stick to that, too. *grin*

In random real life news:

1. I will NOT be sitting my landlords' dog this coming week; they've decided to kennel him instead. But I will be bringing in their mail and watering their plants while they're in Rhode Island, so that's something.

2. Regular fall services start next Sunday. I am not at all sure what's going on with RE -- I have not received any notification about teacher ingatherings or schedules, or even my co-teachers, but hopefully that will get straightened out before Saturday.

3. I saw The Dark Knight a second time this afternoon, and I may or may not write up a review/reaction post sometime in the next few days. For now, I'll just say that it's a very interesting film, it made me think about a bunch of ethical, social, and political issues, and I have a burning urge to figure out a number of loose ends and minor plot holes. I suspect I will either end up writing a story or an essay to that end.
