I got tagged by @cinnonym (thank you, love!) and I loved the idea of this one so let's get started, shall we?
post the first lines of your last ten fics!
Doing as Cinn over here and most recent to oldest. I am only using the ones on AO3 so tumblr-only thingies are not counted for this! (And I am also not counting "Kisses" as that's a mix between a fic and me going: character study!)
1.- Come back to me (SQ)
"He said that I didn't even try."
2.- Solitude (SQ)
"To be honest, you're too good for Hook."
3.- Wreak (SQ) (Or the one that is W's fault if anyone asks)
The shears gleamed in gold and magic as Regina old them, one brow raised.
4.- Footnote (SQ)
"You could've gotten hurt." (As opposed, I dare say, to You could've been hurt < That one is on purpose actually xd)
5.- Put me together (thread a needle) (SQ) (aka: NB!Emma part 2)
Emma did not remember opening up the door.
6.- Do let me inside (Ghost of Yotei Atsu x Oyuki)
Red Crane Inn was packed; the feeling of warmth from bodies enjoying sake and conversations as the cold roared outside one that Atsu could feel against her own skin, as if a weight quietly applying pressure to her body.
7.- If I approach infinity (SQ) (Despite both title and opening line this one is sweet, I promise)
"Did you mean it?"
8.- The Curse Upon Storybrooke Square (SQ) (Yes, the nod is exactly what you think it is on the title's end)
The body had not appeared on its own.
9.- (Major) Feelings (SQ) (a.k.a This one hurts Part 2)
The castle loomed over the distance, getting closer as the car ran through the meandering path; greenery and magic alike dancing just at the edge of Emma's peripheral vision whenever she made the car take another curve.
10.- Wishful (Lara Croft, SamLara)
The cup was warm to the touch, with the spots in where the sea had grazed it slightly colder but quickly warming up against her fingers and Sam clutched to it and them, as she gazed up and then left to where Lara was seated, warm and solid, and breathing and -most importantly- present.
Ok, I am still very much biased with starting with a dialogue line xd It kinda helps since I love starting mid-scene and move from there. Extra analysis I leave space for those wanting to comment on that! Would love to know opinions.
No-pressure on answering, usual disclaimers apply to: @waknatious @allbutwrong @carsonnieve @delirious-comfort (as your writing will always hold my heart ;))
PS: And to those that caught the little nudge Cinn did on their own post about THINGS coming soon... def keep eyes peeled ;)
