Favourite lines / quotes from fic

[birdsofshore]

Sometimes a line gets stuck in my head. It's not usually anything deep or meaningful, although occasionally it might be. At the moment, some of my best ones are:

"He's sarcastic, and haughty, and REFUSES to wear a shirt." from dustmouth's Keep Your Shirt On

"The Saviour of the bloody wizarding world does not. Wear. Pants." from dysonrules Wayward Owls and Pub Hunts.   

Ok, there's a bit of a theme going on there...

Here's a corker from one of my FAVOURITE FICS which everyone should read, but hardly anyone ever does. It just makes me cackle.

"Greg," repeated Draco. "Big man, quiet—"

"Former minion," added Harry, which earned him an elbow in the ribs.

from omi_ohmy's The Redemption of Gregory Goyle.

Here's a beautiful one:

his flaws were the salt that brought out the flavour from who_la_hoop's The Rabbit and the God

Then the last one, which is not quite right, as I've forgotten where it's from, but it was a dialogue between Draco and Pansy, and went something like.

"Then I saw Weasley."

"Which one?"

"Our King."

Ahahahaha. Point me to that one if you know it, please. from Pursuing Potter by hereticalvision

Do lines from fics take up residence in your head? Which are your favourites, at the moment? Just short, but perfect, or funny, things that have stayed with you.

Hurrah for quotes!  I think mine perhaps display a certain leaning towards the profane...

My favourite quote from any fandom is from umbrellas_can's Talk Me Through It, which has this immortal line:

JTKirk: I'M ON THE FUCKING BRIDGE, BONES.

I'll let you work out what the context might be... :D


I also love this line from omi_ohmy's This Delicious Solitude (I loved it on my first beta-read of this fic, and I still do):

“You– you fucking fucked me into my own beans, you fucker!”


And who could forget this wonderful, wonderful line from leo_draconis's Interview With A Sham-pire (go read it, you will laugh until you cry, I promise):

"Shuck it, Dwaco!"

Ah, these are great, thank you! firethesound wrote a vampire fic with a lisping Harry the other day, and it really made me laugh and reminded me of that line!

Omi's beans will never not be funny. I think we all <33 that line so much.
