Memorable lines from Alternity

[elisem]

NEW, DAY, INTEGRITY, ALLEGIANCE, FUTURE, PROSPERITY, FIDELITY and TITS.

BEACON!

And, of course, always and forever:

My name is Harry Potter, and I am a member of the Order of the Phoenix. And my magic and my life will be spent in service to freedom and equality.
(And the original.)

"Hypatia's thrice-cursed sextant and all the lines of latitude!" wins for favourite Alternity curse, I think. Oh, Siz.

D made me up my swearing bar quite a lot. (I'm also rather proud of "Urania's mercy on the seven unsatisfactory suitors of the Pleiades and their worst excuses and excesses", which I think D helped me come up with.)

My favourite swear is Tosha's "Mordred's Mercy" because oh, the layers of implication there.

[synecdochic]

OH yes. I think I decided early on that Tosha almost never swears by his gods because you don't call Their attention unless you really, really want it, and he doesn't swear by Merlin because he actually doesn't give a fuck about Merlin, so from there I had to go really afield.

I lost the habit of coming up with really good ones when the drugs started eating my brain, but "Mordred's mercy" was definitely one of my favorites, too. Because yes, oh, the implications. And I liked the Urania's mercy one, but Hypatia's sextant wins for my favorite of Siz's. :)
