I'll do an actual update, and also the proper Fic Round UP meme in a few days... But for now, have this, and have my good wishes for NY.
First Lines of 2018 Fics
(in order of posting)
"Your bodyguard is very... smiley." (Unguarded, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)
The third time Illya wakes up next to Napoleon Solo – both of them naked, limbs tangled together under the sheets – is the first time he doesn't simply run. (The Third Time, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015, Illya/Napoleon)
Newt is an ocean away, deep in the Schwarzwald and practicing both his German and his diplomatic skills with a local werewolf pack, when Jacob shows up. (Simple Things, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Jacob/Newt)
"Here," the Doctor said, offering his coat. (Practical Solution, Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/The Master (Simm))
"This is ridiculous," Nick says. (Part of the Role Description, Primeval, Nick/Stephen)
"Well, this is uncharacteristically nice of you, Clint," Natasha said, wiping sweat off her brow with a back of one hand while the other was keeping the weapon trained on the guys scattered across the floor. (Other Senses, MCU, Clint/Natasha)
He starts sleeping under her bed when they start affording to stay in places with actual beds. (keep you close, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)
When Finn wakes up, there are five people standing around his bed. (i don't want to hear sad songs anymore, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Finn/Poe/Rey)
Jim wakes up without his tentacles on a Wednesday. (Not Only for Emergencies, Star Trek AOS, Kirk/McCoy)
Ray hugs a lot. (Tactile Language, due South, Fraser/RayK)
At the start, Patrick tells himself not to feel like he’s responsible, that just because he’s a few years older and a few centuries wiser doesn’t mean he’s got some obligation. (put another dime in the jukebox, baby, Bandom, Patrick/Pete)
She should hate the forest, for all it’s taken; her parents, her childhood, her brother’s health. (broke off a dark twig, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)
Gerard thinks in colour and drinks sunrises like cheap vodka, both of them going out of fashion, just like him. (Character Sketch: Gerard Way, Bandom, Gerard)
He's used to it, everyone getting him wrong, everyone thinking they got him sussed. (Character Sketch: Brendon Urie, Bandom, Brendon
Everything Gabe does is for his family, and his family is everyone he touches, meets, knows about, everyone, everyone, everyone, he wants them all, safe and sound and his. (Character Sketch: Gabe Saporta, Bandom, Gabe)
He looks back and knows the weight of every decision he ever made, sees the shape of each path travelled, each road abandoned, feels it like an ache in his body, muscles twitching with phantom pain of life never lived. (Character Sketch: Bruno Tonioli, Strictly Come Dancing RPF, Bruno)
Everything has a place and position and purpose. (Character Sketch: Harold Finch, Person Interest, Harold)
In the end it boils down to this: his hands on the wheel, dried blood under his fingernails, Sam asleep on the passenger seat and the road disappearing mile by mile by memory. (Character Sketch: Dean Winchester, Supernatural, Dean)
The hunger opens in him like a fistful of knives, old and unforgiving. (Character Sketch: John Mitchell, Being Human, Mitchell)
The next time comes around much quicker than Will expected. (I’m Your Man, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)
Autumn in Manchester is grey and full of misery that seeps into people’s bones, making them hunch up against the wind and the rain. (The Year of the Scavenger, Life on Mars, Gene/Sam & Chris/Sam)
Bodie’s world falls apart in April. (in bloom, The Professionals, Bodie/Doyle)
Robbie can’t stop staring. (Summer Wine, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)
“You’re joking,” Hathaway says flatly even though the growing pile of clothes on the ground strongly indicates otherwise. (Skinny-Dipping, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)
James wakes up sweating, sheets tangled around his limbs, sticking to his skin unpleasantly. (Morning After, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)
It’s not the dark that bothers her. (the heat that drives the light, Harry Potter, Luna)
Bella has a house and a (beautiful, fantastic, demanding) garden. (Make Your Own, The Beautiful Fantastic, Bella/Vernon/Billy)
