Fanfic Opening Lines

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your latest fanfics (or up to if you have less!) & tag 10 people.

Thank you so much for the tag @unchaineddaisychain (ONE OF LITERATURE'S MOST ESTEEMED WRITERS I SWEAR. A 10, IN OTHER WORDS)!! Even though I only typically write once in a blue moon, it's always fun to "draw" via words sometimes. 👀 That All The Pretty Boys opening is soooo cold by the way IT GIVE ME CHILLS. aaAA YOU ARE AN EXPERT AT ESTABLISHING ATMOSPHERE. And Stuart's undeniable frustrations...

"Sentimentality is a form of weakness. Don’t let it cloud your mind, don’t let it control your decisions. Soon enough, it’ll do nothing but suffocate." - Not linking this particular fic because I posted it anonymously on purpose and want public distance from it... Proud of what I was able to do with it though. 🙏

It was easiest for Alan to relax on trains. - Contentment (Relatively Speaking) (I LOVE HOW THIS ONE TURNED OUT)

(Cheating with the next six, from each section of my 5+1 Things, Bring It On Home To Me)

To the outside world, this must’ve looked like “the beginning of the end”. However, Alan knew that he was past the end; this was already the epilogue.

Stumbling to the phone, Alan was surprised he had the ability to dial, much less remember this particular number at all.

Alan was no stranger to finding solidarity at the strangest times and places.

He didn’t need to apologize; there was nothing to apologize for.

When had Alan intended to speak to a member of the Animals again?

The aftermath of a concert could be exhilarating. And it could be depressing, if Alan let himself think too much.

The arrival back at their flat, after a late-night gig, was a relatively routine affair. Chas liked to call it “anarchy” but Alan usually just called it “annoying”. - Take It Easy (goooosh from 2021,,)

@blackbeltkitten2 TAGGING YOU!! IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET... 👀
