THINGS I’VE WRITTEN IN FANFICTION AS SENTENCE STARTERS.

“well no shit, ___, he just fell from the sky.” “don’t tell me i rescued an actual angel.” “if you die from this, i’m going to kill you.” “i deserve it, don’t i?” “this is what you’ve always wanted.” “how ironic that someone so kind is the cause of something so horrible.” “i loved you so much, but i thought you’d never look at someone like me.” “i wouldn’t touch that if i were you.” “is tension the way you show excitement?” “i think if we just fight the best we can, things’ll turn out okay.” “all i was doing was walking on water.” “i like you regardless of whether or not you’re good at conversation.” “anyone would get mad at you if you described them with a bad pun.” “you might be rational, but you’re the least calm person i’ve ever met.” “i’ve forgiven you, so won’t you accept that?” “consider your debt to me repaid!” “are you thinking about mushy stuff again?” “you wanted the truth, and i gave it to you.” “i wanted to tell you that i think what you did was very noble.” “am i not good enough?” “i didn’t come here because i want to be a hero, or because i want to make a difference. i just want to be seen.” “you could send me back anytime, so why don’t you?” “i can’t deal with this right now. i’m going to sleep.” “do you just not pay attention ever?” “why must you enjoy things like this?” “i’m obviously the only person i could ever love!” “why are you in my room?” “i wouldn’t settle for anything but the best.” “we’ve met before, but i expect you have a lot of encounters like that on the daily.” “i didn’t know better than to call strangers pretty.” “the world is not a kind place, is it?” “as long as you believe you’re a hero then you can totally be one!” “i just thought you were some fanboy.” “you can be pretty inspiring when you wanna be.” “you’re probably just as dead as i’m gonna be.” “you could have blown up the fucking planet! what’s wrong with you?” “i’ll try not to fear your wrath too much in the future.” “they didn’t hurt you or anything, did they?” “i didn’t, like, lace them with poison or anything. if you want i’ll even let you check!” “i’ve got a bad habit of making myself a distraction, if you catch my drift.” “are you going to be busy this weekend?” “i didn’t peg you as someone who would be so forward with your intentions.” “you have to remember on your own.” “did you really like him that much?” “my opinion of you does not make you good.” “you are not a good man.” “drink with me again.” “we gonna group up and kick ass?” “i never said it would fix the situation.” “i have a family i want to get back to.” “holy fuck, we’re rich people now!” “oh my god, i’ve never had money before.” “it seems like something worth investigating.” “i’ll take my just end and die along with the rest of you.” “i would prefer it if i wasn’t a bother to the people trying to get their work done.” “there are a lot of things that are stopping me, but i don’t know why.” “everyone has their time to leave the battlefield.” “why are you sorry? you were right.” “you look pathetic.” “this isn’t really the way i wanted to die at all, but it’s the way i’m going to.” “you could at least be eating something good!” “we’re wasting time by arguing.” “if you don’t want my help, you can go broke.” “i get it, you’re rich!” “i didn’t know you were capable of experiencing rational thought.” “i’d rather live in debt than die, wouldn’t you?” “i’m surprised you haven’t left yet!” “i don’t think i trust anyone else.” “let’s get outta here.”

❝   Bruce   Wayne,   I   presume.   ❞   She   didn’t   have   to   assume   ANYTHING   —   she   knew.   He   was   easier   to   identify   than   a   marvelous   tale.   THEY   ALL   WERE,   but   it   wasn’t   her   place   to   give   JUDGEMENT.   Gotham   City   wasn’t   really   HER   place   at   all,   but   she   drifted   there   for   more   reasons   than   one.   Maybe   she   was   terrified   to   move   home   —   maybe   she   didn’t   recognize   where   HOME   was   anymore   —   maybe   she   was   just   BUYING   TIME   before   she   had   to   deal   with   whatever   HAPPENED   to   her.   IT   DIDN’T   MATTER.   Whatever   it   was   DIDN’T   MATTER.   She’d   found   her   place   there   (   another   STORY   cropped   up,   but   could   one   truly   be   shocked   ?   )   &   she   wasn’t   heading   back   to   STAR   until   she   had   all   the   fragments   in   her   palms.   ❝   You’re   a   HARD   MAN   to   get   a   hold   of,   you   know   that   ?   ❞ 

He shifts his eyes from the newspaper opened over his crossed legs,  glancing up to assess the  unfamiliar  face.  Typically,  he liked his midmorning coffee to go  u n i n t e r r u p t e d.  Which is why he went out of his way to leave the Wayne Enterprises offices to have his coffee in  peace  at his favorite café in the city.  After all,  his life rarely allotted much time for peace of mind.  And even when it did,  he found himself   d i s t r u s t i n g   the calm.  Thus,  these moments of peace were  i m p o r t a n t.  However,  this scheduled down time was  also  more for   Alfred’s   peace of mind than his own.  It didn’t hurt that it helped with the character establishment of  Bruce Wayne.  The mask he’d carefully crafted over the last decade or so,  to allow for him to be both what  GOTHAM  needed,  and who  he  needed to be.  

But in this moment,  he wasn’t sure if it was   g e n u i n e   curiosity or the reflexive mask that fell into place as he refolded the newspaper and lifted his chin fully to look at the woman before him.        ❛        I  do.  But it seems like you managed just fine,        ❜        he replies as he place the now folded paper on the table,  nudging it slightly beneath his plate.  There is something about her that he  r e c o g n i z e s,  but in the moment he can’t recall.  So instead,  he allows his brows to  pucker  slightly in confusion and curiosity as he asks         ❛        And I’m assuming you’re not here just to say hello,  so how can I help you Miss  ...  ?        ❜
