To plug one of my own fics (because I'm hilarious):

“What are you even implying? You think I’m slutty?”
“You got two boyfriends, a girlfriend and more hookups than I know about.”
“Fair point."

“Oh man, it’s really hard not to bite down…”
“Mmmgh… don’t even fucking joke I will turn you into a rocket launcher…”

"Do we have relatives who are still speaking to us?" Clovis inquired, setting his cup of coffee neatly in its saucer."Or are they under the misapprehension that I've drowned while trying to swim the Hellespont?"

"I believe," Mrs Sangrail said, "that one of your aunts has been happily spreading the news that you have left England to become a zoo-keeper on the Rock of Gibraltar."

"How on earth did she come to that conclusion?"

"I'm sure I don't know," came the calm reply. "Though, knowing my sister, I suspect that she got primates mixed with prelates. One of her daughters, who was attempting to be reassuring, told her that she needn't fear you popping round any longer, as there was a chance you might become a bishop."

"Well," Clovis said as he marmaladed his toast in infinite sloth, "that's true. Granted, it's far likelier that I shall trip while walking through Piccadilly, fall into the Thames and transform into a merman—or whatever the male equivalent of a Rhine-maiden is—but it is, nevertheless, a chance."

Oh huh, that fic is a gift for Daegaer, one of the greats of the Weiss Kreuz fandom, which is a far greater competition than it sounds, I swear. I'm definitely gonna have to read it, thank you!

My fave interpretation of Hetalia's Russia and Prussia:

"Sure, he's big and scary, but he's a total child! He never hurts people because he likes it, only because he thinks he's doing the right thing."

That was actually one reason Prussia hated Russia so much. That patronizing and irritatingly well-meaning attitude about all the problems he had caused in East Germany had made the years under his watch almost unbearable. Prussia wasn't weak; he could take a lot of abuse. What he couldn't stand were a pat on the head and a smile that promised everything would be fine if he just gave up and obeyed.

"Have you noticed Kakashi-sensei being — weird?" he asked.

Naruto favored him with such a blank look Iruka felt compelled to clarify.

"You know. Just, just lately," he added. "Just — acting strange."

"Are you seriously asking me if Kakashi-sensei is being weird," Naruto said slowly, like he was trying to humor Iruka while simultaneously evaluating him for a head wound.

"I should specify as 'weirder than usual,'" Iruka allowed.

'Nother one from a cowriter which is way more poetic than I could ever be:

She is electric light and positivity; fairy dust with a smile of rainbow bands. When she talks she glows, and it is all too easy to forget what sort of a place this is when she does. If it were not for the way she flinches at sudden movements, the way she keeps a five-foot radius between her and most of the adults in the room, he might lose track entirely. She is sweetness unbroken by cruelty, and when he looks at her his heart swells with equal parts reverence and fear.

Not quite a 'quote' from a 'fanfic', but alternate history/future history newspapers sure make me feel a way.

In a mourning, love comes first. Your only speech is out of the love for the departed. You wear the best clothes you can because you want to give a sign that you cared for the mourned enough to look the best you can for them- even when it risks harm to the clothes or ridicule to you. You wear black to symbolize your grief that they are gone, and solidarity with them as they pass through that impenetrable night. But ultimately, all those trappings are optional. Love is not.

Tobirama should have taken his chances down below and squirmed out a canon port, or something. Shambling sailor or no sailor. What did he care if he had to put a hole in the ship to get out? Next time, he was disregarding stealth for Uchiha stealth, no matter how galling.

ah Uchiha Stealth has become so popular a fanfic topic that it now has its own terminology and shows up in fics without any actual uchiha in them XD

“And how is that?”

“Even at the end of the world.”

Gai says eagerly, "This sounds like a most youthful endeavor. I will bring Anko! She will fan the flames of youth in our young Konoha blossom!"

Both Itachi and Kakashi look at Gai, horrified. "Please don't," Itachi says weakly, like he knows it'll fall on deaf ears but he has to try anyway.

"Don't worry," Gai attempts to assure them, going into his Good Guy pose, "They will produce youthful flames of feminine excellence!"

"They're going to burn down Konoha," Kakashi says flatly.

Gai's hair and teeth sparkle in the sunlight, and he doesn't attempt to deny it.

Source, "An Invincible Summer," a fic in which young child Naruto (at first accidentally) faked his death and (intentionally) created a new, older, female identity with which to pursue the same dreams of belonging and being Hokage. Context is various friends and friends of friends being adopted to the "tenth" birthday of 'Natsu', and Gai is... helping?

I awoke to a massive headache and the feeling of a gentle breeze. Which when you’re on a spaceship is never a good sign.

"Motherf-flipping sonofa-a-gun. That stuff has a h-heck of a kick," Bucky grumbled. He picked up his gun, engaged the safety and tucked it into his belt.

Darcy stared at him. "Are you trying to keep our PG rating?"

Bucky folded his arms across his chest. "I can't swear in front of a lady," he said.

"I'm a 'lady'?" Darcy asked, then held up a hand. "No, forget that part. Why can't you swear? Are you under a curse?"

"It doesn't matter," Bucky said.

"Are you unable to talk about the curse?" Darcy whispered.

"There's no curse!" Bucky said.

Ginny unglues herself form his side to grab onto his cousin’s, who gives her a smile that is both more and less dreamy than usual. He doesn’t want to know and he’s not going to ask. “Hello. How’s the cultural revolution of our sky challenged brethren going?”

This is why he never bothers to tell her anything. There’s no point, since she knows about it all anyway. “The wrackspurts tell you about that?”

“Oh, you know,” she waves a hand. “The universe is just a system of communicators linked by uncommon purposes.”

“Are you being vague and weird on purpose?” he demands, because sometimes she does that. “This is why everyone calls you Loony.”

Ginny turns away from Luna to glare at him and his cousin’s smile sharpens into a grin and she winks at him. Unbelievable.

Fan sequel to the Financial Crisis Gangbang...

“Don’t say it wasn’t as bad as me, because it was!”

“But Mama…you died! I was sick at first, but I’m going to get better! The guys…they…apologized to me…”

”But they betrayed you, son. They did not betray me, because I never trusted them in the first place. I always had a feeling they were up to something evil, but you… you looked up to them. You loved them! I will always hate the white man!” She explained, shooting dirty glares at those moaning on the floor.

“But Mama… we’re white men, too.” Canada added quietly, pointing to himself and holding onto his brother’s shoulder.

(Yeah, "Native America" wasn't a monolith, but there's probably a Grandparent Europe out there, by Hetalia logic, so yeah.)

“Actually, I think there are too many touch-mes around. I don’t have time to destroy the world today.” Sephiroth said, speaking more to Cloud than Fair.

Time travel fixit fic featuring a young-looking and easily confused Cloud Strife who fails a couple assassination attempts on Sephiroth (so he won't destroy the world), only for it to become something of an in-joke among the Soldier firsts and their acquaintances

This is technically from an AN, but it's really funny to me for some reason
