Request for fic fodder

bironicI need to stop posting when I'm very, very behind on replying to comments, but. The reason I'm behind is that I'm supposed to be finishing up this ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
slashfest fic, and it's sometimes easier to complete a story when there's another waiting in the wings, and I have this idea that I'd really like to try, so I've come to ask for your input.
If you could drop me a comment anytime from now till next week with a group of six words. That's all. You can post multiple groups of six if you like. They can be nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs -- anything meaty, not conjunctions or prepositions or random exclamations. Words that can mean more than one thing and/or can be used as more than one part of speech would be great. I think it would be helpful if the words aren't all closely related as well. Examples drawn from my last three fics are: piano, Stacy, music, softly, gaze, touch; hand, look, twitch, nothing, lie, wife; kiss, smile, dark, hard, talking, sweat. (Feel free to repeat any of these.) I reserve the right to skip some groups and alter a few words here and there if it makes my job easier later. Just looking for some inspiration.
And I will get to those comments. Promise.
