de_nugis!I got blooming tagged by the wicked 
firesign10 to take part in this meme, when I should be doing a hundred other things. So of course, I couldn't resist!
The challenge is to pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP. Then you're supposed to tag seven other writers.
The problem is that all my many (too many!) WIPs are pretty short, not one runs to seven pages, so I've picked out the seventh paragraph instead.
Not that he thinks there will be much actual sleeping going on in Sam’s room. She won’t be slow to make the most of this opportunity to get Sam in the sack, Dean’s sure. In fact, Dean thinks he can hear them getting it on, not that he is wandering down the corridors in the middle of the night to check on his baby brother, no way. So he’s standing stock still outside Sam’s bedroom door, when he realises the noise he’s hearing isn’t heavy breathing or moans in the throes of passion, but a quiet scratch, scratch, scratching. And the noise isn’t coming from his brother’s room. No, it’s coming from the walls. Dean pales a little.
Ok, this is also a tad longer than seven lines so ok, ok, I haven't really managed this meme at all, have I? Never mind, here's my tags, hopefully you will do a better job of this than I have!brutti_ma_buonicherie_morte

Totally at random from my flist. Apologies if you've already been tagged...
There's this author game going around called 7/77, where we are supposed to post 7 sentences from page 77 (or page 7 if you aren't that far in) of your current WIP. Rather than spend all day tagging all the authors I know, I'll just say: If you see this, DO IT!
So I originally thought I'd have to go to my novel for something with 77 pages, but then realised that wasn't strictly speaking a WIP as it's finished though in dire need of editing. So I moved to it's sequel, which has been abandonned in an incomplete state for quite some time, but has a considerable number of pages and is definitely a WIP (though the progress part is debatable!).
I've kind of guessed where page 77 might be as the chapters are all saved in separate word documents. Here's my 7 sentences
He lay still and relaxed, keeping his breathing soft and even. Jake had always been adept at fooling Nathan and his father into believing he was soundly asleep, where Nathan had never mastered the art, always giving himself away with small tells – changes in his breathing, involuntary tensing of muscles. Jake knew this was the only way to keep himself safe from the interrogation he knew was awaiting him on waking, though he was well aware that feigning unconsciousness was not a permanent solution. He would have to face his brother eventually. He couldn’t hide forever, and, he realised with a small sense of surprise, he was done with running away.
The trouble was, Nathan’s presence was burning Jake in so many ways. He was ashamed on so many counts, and was reluctant to face any of them.
Now run away and play!
