one sentence fics: Animorphs, LotR, WC, Charmed

 Animorphs, Rachel, tonight she closes her window

She knows that Tobias is still human inside, and she knows that he's growing more wild by the day nonetheless, but it bothers her how much she isn't bothered when he rips apart a still-warm body and feasts—so tonight she closes her window and hopes she won't be so tempted to join him tomorrow.

 

LOTR, Legolas, Sam, they both had those they were willing to follow to the edge of the world.

Samwise Gamgee is the best of all heroes and Legolas will sing of his deeds until the seagulls lead him home; and Sam will tell his sons and his daughters and his grandchildren the tale of the returning King and his most loyal subject, the bright and fierce golden elf who saved all their lives.

 

Animorphs, Arbron, that brief moment after eating when the world is at peace

For a moment, the hunger ceases and he almost feels like the warrior he used to be.

 

White Collar, Neal/Kate, fathers

Kate had been the little princess her father doted on, and she followed his footsteps into theft, hoping to one day be half as good; Neal, though, never thinks about his father if he can help it, and if he ever sees the man again... well, there's a reason he learned how to use a gun, but he’s sure a sharp blade could do just as well.

 

Charmed, Chris, scared he'll reveal too much.

He has to think carefully about every word and stop himself from blurting out something stupid as, once again, his mother and aunts reveal they aren't the women he remembers (not yet).

The White Collar one is ow-wow(!); and I think the Charmed one is right on target. It must have been hard for him to deal with these unreasonable people who just wouldn't do what was necessary/practical, because they weren't the people he knew, exactly.

I'd love to see more fics where the Charmed bunch go forward in time for a little visit, and see the reality he had to deal with, and gain some understanding. It reminds me of how the upper class British used to act in WWII (and other wars) when the subject of sabotage came-not sporting, not being a gentleman, etc etc (meanwhile, the guys in the trenches were dying by the thousands, and the spies and agents in the field kept it from being even worse, and were looked down on). Also, Terminator-future. Mush all that together, and stir in demons/magic/etc, and you get a...paranoid, neurotic, lying-to-you-for-your-own-good Witchlighter, eh?

I can imagine how frustrated Chris must've been because he was coming from the worst-case scenario and trying his best, and they just kept blocking him at every turn.

I've seen a couple good sisters-going-to-the-future fics, but most were pretty bad, which saddens me.

Most Charmed fics are really bad, which saddens ME! D:


I wish some of the comms would have some writing challenges, and pimp themselves. There's not even much done for Yuletide.
