Fic Snippet Meme

There's a WIP meme going around, and since I have plenty of those, I thought I'd play. So...lines and snippets from various stories that I started and haven't yet finished. Five of the nine are John/Cam, three are gen, and one is another pairing. Two are from challenges (not exchanges) whose deadlines are now past, one is from a cliche_bingo fic, one is from my cm_tropefic fic, and a couple are from stories I'm writing just for fun. At some point I'd like to finish all of these.
