I think I got this one from somewhere, but I have no idea where. It's fanfic-related, so you can safely skip if you're not into that.

Here's ten lines (or sentences, or paragraphs), pulled at random from my fics. If you're so inclined, you can guess which story they came from. Some are more cryptic than others.

1. The corner of Hunter's mouth quirked up in a small semi-grin. "I think I could like him. Could we take him home with us? Please?"

2. "I'm tired of hearing you moan on about something that you want everyone to feel sorry about! It's no bed of roses on my end, may I say."

3. "Hey, Tommy! I think the blue boy is now awake and I could use some help if you know what I mean."

4. That's the hazard of dating a vampire - you never know what they might be thinking or feeling.

5. And that's something you have to be careful about. After all the danger and excitement, you eventually want to settle down somewhere. They're the worlds that you're only there for a few hours, or for months, where you want the comfort of a home close to your own instead of sliding through the vortex and bouncing into another world.

6. I don't mind. Even this illusion seems more comforting than the reality that I am not full human. They can't hate me if they don't know I'm different, after all.

7. His own instincts were good, but slow, and sometimes hard to explain. Many times, hard to explain. He thought best while upside down, that was true. To understand the criminals you sometimes had to see their ways. See what they'd done. Understand them.

8. "I'm rather attached to my lunch, thanks," Hayley said, looking sheepish. "Not that I don't occasionally get fantasies...."

9. It reminded her of a high school classmate who currently worked in an inbound call center, and refused to answer her phone with anything other than a sullen "hello". Which was understandable if you had to cheerfully answer a phone all day with the practiced greeting of "Good Morning (or Afternoon), this is Beth, how may I help you?"

10. Blake's mind snapped into focus. "We found the monster you moron," Blake hissed. "I wouldn't really bug you during a date just 'cause I can't figure out how to to talk to Tori."

I'll reveal the answers later.
