Favourite lines / quotes from fic

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 [livejournal.com profile] dustmouth's Keep Your Shirt On

"The Saviour of the bloody wizarding world does not. Wear. Pants." from [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] omi_ohmy's The Redemption of Gregory Goyle.

Here's a beautiful one:

his flaws were the salt that brought out the flavour from [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Maybe on an external harddrive or burned onto a CD somewhere? That's how I used to do it - I had so many text files of quotes! - but as the years went on, I changed computers, then went to multiple computers, it was just too hard to keep them all in sync. @___@ That's why I save them to e-mail now.
