MUSE BY SENTENCE MEME

[musemods]

muse by sentence meme
Tell a story in one sentence

Inspired by our muse community musebysentence . We know that not everyone is interested in joining comms, so we thought we would host a meme based on our community concept and if it is successful, possibly make it a monthly thing. If anyone enjoys the meme, they are welcome to join us on a regular basis at musebysentence , where we offer weekly prompts for muses with open membership. Muses tell their stories in a single sentence about any facet of their life, with first person or third person stories welcome. Sentence stories can be a stand-alone post as merely a snapshot of your character's life, or also act as kick-offs for open RP in response to the sentence like other like RP comms out there, which is our premise for this meme today. Sometimes, a single sentence can paint a bigger picture. Select from one of the 100 prompts below from our prior prompt sets and write a single sentence story for your muse as your starting point. It can literally be about anything. It can be in first person to kick off a conversation, or third person to kick off a whole scene. The choice is up to you. Snapshot a tiny piece of your character's life and others are welcome to tag replies to it. Alternatively, much in the spirit of TFLN, you may prefer to "borrow" a sentence for a starting point from www.onesentence.org that suits your character. If you do, please just note at the bottom of the post a credit to this site so we are aware it's not your own original work just out of courtesy. If a sentence is your own work, no need to add any credits. RULES: ♦ Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have in the subject line. Add here if you have a preference to first person or third person replies, also. If you don't mention a preference to style, taggers can assume anything goes. ♦ In the comment box of your post, put your sentence, whether it is original or from the above website. Remember to add a small credit at the bottom if it's not your work. ♦Try to make your sentence something people can inspire a scene from, which is ultimately the purpose of the meme. On the flipside, taggers are encouraged to think outside the box in their replies - be as creative as you want in coming up with a scene in response to the sentence! Maybe you have overheard the person musing to themselves? Maybe it's an online chat? Maybe you're in a mutual location that fits the mood of the sentence? Anything goes. ♦ Smut welcome if you're happy for it, but remember to state yes or no to it in your preference. If you're not bothered either way and happy to see where it goes, just leave it blank. ♦ Have fun, enjoy, and remember if you enjoy our premise, you're always welcome to join us at musebysentence, where you can post sentences just for your own enjoyment or as an invitation to open RP any time you like!

Comments

Rachel Berry [ GLEE ] No smut, flirting welcome but Rachel might not agree ;)

[dontrainonmyparade]

#36. New beginnings

Central Park had become one of Rachel's favourite places, and as she sat there watching the passing crowd, wondering what everyone's stories were, she realised it was well and truly time to close the book on her past and step firmly into the new chapter of her life despite how much her heart was aching.

Hope this is alright?

[kaiserreich]

[He is unfamiliar with this area, but it's not his place. This is... Somewhere else. The people seem as unfamiliar as the trees, buildings, sounds and smells all around him and the very moment that the young empire notices that he is being watched, he stops. And looks around, faint worry rising in him. His brother taught him not to show his fears, though. But his brother isn't here right now...

Biting his lower lip, he finally spots the woman that seems to be watching him. The way she is dressed is just as unusual as that of everyone else here, but she doesn't seem dangerous.

The blond boy in the fancy, yet fairly old-fashioned uniform frowns slightly at her, but doesn't dare to step closer.]

Dr. Robert Chase // House M.D. // No smut please, any romance has to slow-burn, anything else goes

[trueaussiedoc]

64. "Nobody said it was easy."

You know it's going to be a bad, bad day when your first patient honestly believes her virginity grew back and now she's saving herself for Brad Pitt when he divorces Angelina.

[captainsosa]

Well, looks like somebody will be having a mental evaluation while making new friends in the physic ward.

Benjamin Knight (Original Character) | Kindred: The Embraced | No smut, night scenes only

[shadowedknight]

#60. I Love The Nightlife

Despite the crime, the darkness, and the notion of what was hiding in the New York shadows, Benjamin found something so uniquely beautiful in his city that could be lit up like day when one couldn't indulge in the sunlight.

Sebastian Smyth (Glee) m/m only but smut fade-to-black if it gets to that point

[dapperdevious]

( 80 ) Thanks but no thanks

Seriously never going to understand the appeal of marriage and monogamy.

[excessive]

Would have to assume it's the desire for security without any of the effort. I mean, love that doesn't require either of them, right?

Eliot (Spencer) Ford - Leverage (teen AU) - M/F but check with me for smut

[minitreiver]

65-Behind Blue Eyes

Almost everything people saw about him was a lie.

Cerni Odair - Hunger Games semi-OC - no smut

[knotsnarrows]

24-I'm pregnant

There's no way I could have gotten her pregnant since I never slept with her.

Kurt Hummel ★ GLEE (ota, no smut)

[justbeingaqueen]

32. Feeling isolated

Ducking out of the office building for a breath of fresh air to abate the claustrophobic and isolated feeling he was getting in the wake of everything was fruitless when New York was almost completely devoid of fresh air.

Ludwig Beilschmidt/German Empire | Axis Powers: Hetalia | no smut

[kaiserreich]

47. Great Expectations

He still had so much more to learn if he wanted to meet all the expectations placed upon him and make sure that his brothers can be proud of him.

Donna Noble| Doctor Who| No Smut Please :)

[copyrightnoble]

62. "Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself"

For once, she did not speak without thinking; her anger closed her throat, rendering her unable to speak.

mary bennet || modern pride and prejudice

[sensibles]

ix. drop dead gorgeous

It had become second nature to compare herself to her sisters, some beautiful, some witty, some ridiculously silly - all with a certain glimmer that attracted attention (or in Lydia's case, demanded); bug-eyed, bespectacled, and unbecomingly pretentious at times, Mary was caught between comfort with her own identity and settling for a life "not as" and "different from."

Isaac Lahey -- Teen Wolf -- OTA

[excessive]

64. "Nobody said it was easy"

He could feel the growing of the moon deep down into the marrow of his bones and it left Isaac feeling sick, wild, and downright deadly in a way that shouldn't have being intoxicating but all he could do was smile with the desire to create, have and destroy.

Bane | TDKR

[dissimulation]

82. Injury

The blast had disrupted all of his systems, leaving Bane unconscious for longer than he cared to imagine but as he came to, he could hear cheering and knew that all hope had been lost, and he had to assume Talia had been as well.

[zen_en_vert]

"You're coming to."

Says a quiet voice from the bedside. The cheering is coming from the streets, up through the hospital window. The city has been riotous for days now.

"They've restrained your hands. Please don't panic."

No one sincerely expects chains to hold him; which is why he's been assigned a prison guard with a little more clout.

Jefferson | OUAT (PreSeason 2)

[offwithhishead]

56. Lonely Boy

He would never admit it, but the nights when the moon was dark were Jefferson's favorite because no matter how long he stood by the telescope, there was never anything to see except in the memories that played constantly in his mind.

[cacophony]

Night was the best time to slip out unnoticed. Everyone in the household slept and the one who didn't was too busy in his own concerns to notice her leave. She liked to wander at night when everything was quieter. There was a calm that blanketed the night time and even the Earth seemed to sigh in relief. Or maybe it was just the wind.

It wasn't often Alice wandered where others might be. The whole point was to stay away, so it was with mild surprise that she found someone else who seemed as content to be lost in the dark as she. She was by no means sneaky and grass and leaves rustled and crunched under bare feet. Still, since he seemed distracted by his own thoughts, Alice spoke up from a slight distance.

"Most people are afraid of the dark."

Eleventh Doctor | Doctor Who | No smut, first or third person is fine

[madman_inabox]

There was a piece of aluminum foil sitting out on the counter, so I did what anyone else would have done: I made a hat out of it.

From www.onesentence.org

David 8 ● Prometheus

[automaton]

o7 → Less than perfect

Everything about his design and programming was made for seamless interaction with human beings, but he was never supposed to question them.

Jonathan Morris | Castlevania | OTA

[okei]

3. Rescue Me.

His muscles twitched and his lungs burned from fatigue yet he ran, fast and undeterred -- motivated, even -- by the added weight of his injured partner on his back.

Edgar Roni Figaro | Final Fantasy VI | No smut

[edgar_roni]

71. Thinking with the wrong head.

Edgar couldn't help it, flirting and lacing his words with suggestion around any woman was akin to breathing: necessary and done without thought.

TJ Hammond » Political Animals » men only if things go in a smutty direction

[grindr]

79 → Sick as a dog

TJ sat miserably on the bathroom floor, sweating, shaking, and slumped over the toilet in preparation for the next tell-tale lurch of his stomach.

[wwii]

James has seen a lot of miserable things and been the cause of about half of them. Between fighting a world war, training soviet spies, and punching peepholes through skulls through a sniper scope, he's missed out some of the more average human trials. Withdrawal is one of them, though he's watched soldiers be weaned off experimental superdrugs -- and go mad from bad batches -- it was caught mostly in glimpses because that level of physical tweaking had been below him. He's no doctor but he forces himself not to look as useless as he feels as he enters the bathroom (with a brief knock on the door first) with a full glass of barely-cool water.

"I know it'll probably just come back up, but here."

Loki | MCU

[delusionaldreams]

(( third person for prose ; men for smut ))

63. "Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far?"

Midgard is the land of change, and change is what has been demanded from him: stripped of power and banished as punishment, Loki cannot help but think Odin a bit uncreative.

John Blake | TDKR | m/m for sex

[newboyontheblock]

64. "Nobody said it was easy"

He ached from head to toe, muscles protesting his every move, but there's no way to stop, no way to give up—not with Gotham resting on his shoulders.

[redhoodedrobin]

The man he pursued showed no signs of slowing, no hint of fatigue. He said nothing to Blake when they'd run into each other, but the blood spatter and the gun in his hand was more than enough for him not to be able to talk himself out of trouble. The Red Hood was a killer, make no mistake, but the man didn't like taking someone out if he could help it. It wouldn't be long before he lost those reservations, though.

Jason Todd | DC Comics | OTA

[redhoodedrobin]

99. Powerful

It was an exhilarating experience, watching an entire mob-run drug ring burn up in a blaze, while a crescendo of screams from the offenders within joined with the roaring symphony of the blaze.

Neville Longbottom: Harry Potter: OTA

[greatdealofbravery]

42. Boys Don't Cry

He survives mostly unscathed. Really, he knows he has nothing to complain about, compared to many of the others. But there are good days and there are bad days for all of them, and then there are the days where you think you're completely fine, walking down the street in muggle London, until the sound of a car backfiring sends you reaching for your pocket, skittering into a doorway for cover, white faced and ready to fight for your life.

Brienne | asoiaf/got

[upheld]

64. "Nobody said it was easy"

It was an impossible quest, she knew it, others knew it and told Brienne of it - that she should go home, marry and be done with it.. but she could not, for she would not break her given word.

Charlie McGee || Firestarter || OTA

[charring]

32. Feeling isolated.

The lies she told to keep people at a distance were a necessity, something her survival depended on but they were starting to take a toll on her and with each deceptive comment, she felt more and more isolated from the people around her and she wondered if there would ever be a point where she won't be able to return from that self-imposed isolation.

Emma Swan - OUAT

[storybookhero]

36. New beginnings

Emma been alone all of her life, but things changed when she arrived in Storybrooke - while she first stayed for Henry she soon made herself a life with two things she lacked previous: friends and family.
