hashtag okay
22 Jul 2022 10:04 pmSometimes I save things in my notebook of quotes from fic spelunking that are neither bad epithets nor malapropisms. The tag I use for these is "#ok", and sometimes they're just really weird and other times just accidentally funny...
- the specks of gold floating in his pupils
- His gaze was soothed and his pupils sparkling
- noticing the drying drops of water as they fell through his skin
- his tattoos stretched alongside his skin
- he opened his back to take the towel out
- His hand immediately retracted.
- locked eyes with Steve, deep-soul brown to sunlight-through-a-beer-bottle hazel
