Latest Fics, First Line Edition
Tagged by @thychesters Thank you! 💜💜💜
Rules: Share the first ten lines of your ten most recent fics and tag 10 people.
Might have to fudge this one a little bit because some of my most recent 10s are podfics with no lines and others are multi-chaps with recent updates.
An Arrangement - Rune Factory 4 Empress Frey AU
It had been a perfectly normal day. Business was as usual, nothing of terrible concern, winter was was a struggle with fewer supplies able to get into the empire and sickness passing through the cities and villages, but that was nothing new.
2. Tiny Treasure (Chapter 2) - Summer in Mara
Aquila stared blankly at the mobile screen in his hand. He didn’t know what the hell had possessed him to tell Akaji he was pregnant that way, but by the time he’d second guessed himself, the message had already been delivered.
3. How Far Ahead the Road Has Gone (Chapter 25) - The Hobbit
Mornings in camp were always quiet, but even still this morning was unusually sober. Bilbo was awake before Bella stirred for her next feeding. She was able to wash her face in achingly cold water and breathe life back into the embers of their cooking fire before the babe began fussing for breakfast and she was quieted before she could work into a full cry.
4. Prison Forever - Star Wars
Sister when you died you ask would I have done it for spouse or child…
Anakin cradles Ahsoka’s lifeless body in his arms. He presses his trembling fingers to her neck. There is no pulse. He lowers his ear to her mouth. No trace of breath. He cannot hear her heart beat, he cannot feel the blood moving through her veins, he cannot sense her in the Force.
5. Blood Ties (Chapter 2) - Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma
They rode south through the night, though Clarice wasn't aware of this. Most of that night she spent clinging to Veyron, begging him to go back, to save her grandmother. Then silently weeping. There was nothing Veyron or Eva could say or do to comfort her.
6. The "Please go back to the car" Moment - Star Wars
If into the security recordings you go, only pain will you find.
I must know.
Obi-Wan wished he had listened to Master Yoda. Knowing with proof was far worse than having suspicions in his heart, sensing without confirmation.
And here's where the podfics started last summer, so I'm going back to the multichaps generally in post/update order
7. Tiny Treasure (Chapter 1) - Summer in Mara
Aquila could not believe this was happening. Not to him.
8. How Far Ahead the Road Has Gone (Chapter 24) - The Hobbit
Bilbo did not speak of what happened between her and Thorin. Her arm was tender and bruised, but the cuts where the bracelet had broken the skin were shallow, not even requiring a bandage. Nothing seemed broken. The fresh blood on her sleeves lifted easily enough under cold water, and any remaining, dull stains were indiscernible from the other stains and wear and tear upon her clothing.
9. Blood Ties (Chapter 1) - Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma
Clarice was princess of an empire that did not exist.
From a very young age, she had been next in line for the throne. The only heir to her grandmother’s legacy – The Dawn Empress.
10. Maybe it's cheating, but rather than drop a 3rd chapter of my hobbit fic I'm going to drop a sneak peak at something I've been working on instead. The Latest opening chapter line of the remaster of Wells of Silence (Chapter 4)
Chancellor Palpatine’s invitation did not come as a surprise to Anakin. He always tried to make time to see her when she was on Coruscant for more than a couple days. So, when Anakin received the invitation on her personal comm, she agreed to meet him at the earliest suggested time.
Tags: I'm copping out and not tagging anyone. I'm a bit braindead. It's been a long week.
Of course, if you want to play, absolutely say I tagged you!
