Yes, I realise it's March, but in my defence... Life? So, I meant to indulge in this meme closer to the year change but never got to it. So I'm indulging now.

First Lines of 2019 Fics
(in order of posting)

The sun is out, somewhere behind the air pollution, and there have been no alien attacks, gangland kneecappings, or unethical medical tests so far today - That we know of. - that they know of. (A Fine Day, Venom, Eddie/Venom)

“Did you really just give me carte blanche to do anything I want? Do you have the faintest idea how far that goes?” (Carte Blanche, Fireflye, Mal/Jayne)

Vampires made the best scientists. (non nobis solum, Stargate Atlantis, Rodney/Radek/John)

“Take him to my chambers,” she said with a wave of her hand. “And have him… prepared.” (Vivat Regina, Star Trek: Discovery, Mirror Philippa/Mirror Gabriel)

The ground is wet, grass clinging to bare feet, making each step linger like a kiss. (starry eyed and gravely discontented, Lewis, Lewis/Hathaway)

It wasn’t that he disagreed with the demonstrators, far from it. (Article 11, Lewis, Lewis & Hathaway)

Zhao Yunlan was a desperate man. (The Black Lotus Club, Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan)

Laura turns her face to the sun, breathing deep the scent of fragile green buds, of hope and new starts. (Here Comes The Sun, Lewis, Hobson)

“He’s loyal,” the Hundjäger says, shaking Monroe by the scruff of his neck like a recalcitrant puppy, “I’ll give you that.” (Loyalty, Grimm, Nick/Monroe)

Willow opens the cupboard door and contemplates her ever growing collection of herbal teas. (Kettle Knockout, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Willow/Tara)

Jayne ain’t much for words. (Write It Out, Firefly, Mal/Jayne)

“Pete?” Patrick pushed through the gas station shop door, the bell jingling merrily. “Pete, you still here?” (Sweet Tooth, Sweetheart, Bandom Fall Out Boy, Patrick/Pete)

“Thank you,” Zelenka said, taking a wrapped item from a marine and handing another one in return. “Pleasure doing business with you.” (Priorities, Stargate Atlantis, Rodney/Radek)

“Oh my god, are you seeing this?”
(X-tra Dimensional, The X-Files, Scully & Mulder)

The heating is off. (Warmer Together, Being Human UK, Mitchell/George/Annie)

The bottom of the ravine seemed very far away, viewed from this angle. (Vlarian Oath, Original Work, OFC/OFC)

Crowley woke up to a ringing phone and a bad feeling.
(Lose A Kraken, Gain An Angel, Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley)

It's bigger than him, bigger than any real dick Pete has ever seen, sucked, been fucked by, but oh god he wants it bad, wants to feel it pushing him open, until he's gaping and sobbing, so fucking greedy, greedy for it. (Substitute, Bandom Fall Out Boy, Pete/Reader's Choice)

What comes through the door is not Patrick.
(here to collect your heart, Bandom Fall Out Boy, Patrick/Pete)

Years are like stones, tossed one after another into the lake of his life until the waters rise, flooding the fields and villages and forests. (Character Sketch: Shen Wei, Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan)

In the end, there are words, always words, twisting, flowing, smooth and jagged, dropping from his mouth like fireflies. (Character Sketch: Lin-Manuel Miranda, RPF, LLM)

Inside Rodney’s mind, there are galaxies, swirling around and around, shining horses on an endless carousel.
(Character Sketch: Rodney McKay, Stargate Atlantis, team)

Evan’s first impression of Dr Rodney McKay takes place in a dark and chilly storeroom in Antarctica. (take this longing from my tongue, Stargate Atlantis, Rodney/Evan)

It happens to Gerard around four in the afternoon. (until the end, until this blood, Bandom My Chemical Romance, Gerard/Mikey)

Oh, I like this (I think we all know my feelings on posting random ficbits). I might steal it.

Although, here's a question. If one of the fics in question was a ten song drabble meme, should I do the first line from every fic (chapter) within it, or just the first one?

Also, hi dildo porn I did not read yet

I actually stole the other one and have saved this one to do later. I did have a glance though, and a lot of my stuff starts with VERY short sentences *laughs*

This is a really fun meme. Your first lines are all very intriguing. I especially like "Vampires made the best scientists." :D
