Writer's Block: Once upon a time…

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Oh Gosh. I can't list just one sentence! I have multiple favourite books. Well. Here are favourite books with favourite first sentences to try and narrow things down...

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." J.R.R Tolkien The Hobbit

"On a cold, fretful afternoon in early October, 1872, a hansom cab drew up outside the offices of Lockhart and Selby, Shipping Agents in the financial heart of London, and a young girl got out and paid the driver." Sally Lockhart Quartet by Philip Pullman, Book One, The Ruby in the Smoke

"If you are interested in stories with happy endings you would be better off reading some other book." ASOUE, The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

"Three children lay on the rocks at the waters edge." Daughter of the Forest, Juliet Marillier, Book One of The Sevenwaters Trilogy

I love fantasy and fantasy authors so all of my favourite books are in series.

Breaking Point: A Spooks fan fic

Title: Breaking Point
Characters: Ruth Evershed and Harry Pearce
Rating: M for disturbing themes and moments
Spoilers For everything involving s8 to be safe, but then veers off into wild s9 au
Word Count: 2500 words approx.
Summary: What would we do for love? How far would we go to save those we love?
Notes: My third au s9 fic. This isn't conventional R/H or even everyone's cup of tea so please no flaming. The more Spooks fics I write the more experimental they get. It's a what if scenario and obviously I don't really want this to happen so love not hate please (though constructive criticism is welcome always). This au fic assumes s8 was mi5 doing mi5 things and not playing at mi6 with the whole Nightingale plot. Ros Meyers still died however. Also, I want you to all know it killed me to write this. In my defence, I’ve just watched Casino Royale.
