First Line Patterns

Thanks for the tag @the-lincyclopedia! It has been a hot minute since I published any fics, so it's nice that this doesn't have any kind of timeline on it haha.

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern.

From Hero to Villain(elle) I left my cape behind, my life to gain

From a single grain of sand “So when are you planning to do something about your crush?”

Blackbird Song The Gilded Cage. Three figures stood beneath the neon sign announcing their location.

A Double Shot of Sunshine “Welcome to Cups ‘n Crullers! What can I get you this morning?”

Interrupted Heists, Dentist Visits, and Other Romantic Dates For Your Fake Husband Like everything else about me, my memory is pretty average.

Letters From Luke Luke circled above the tower, letting his shadow fall over Elliot and his dwarf student. 

As long as thou com'st back “I am keeping thee from thy rehearsal. I should go.”

Winter in Roa Winter in the Little Peninsula bore little resemblance to the same season in Ianna-Ir.

Notes, twisted every way “Welcome back. Now fucking help me.”

A Fire Within “Oh fudge this!” No sooner had Jax ended the call than his phone was in flight, hurtling toward the wall faster than a speeding bullet.

Haha so the main pattern I see is that I love to start with a line of dialogue, which is not really a surprise given that dialogue is my favorite thing to write. (Stories about superheroes/villains and opera composers pining over sad priests seem to have a higher likelihood of this, though they also compose a significant chunk of the things on this list).

Anyway I will tag uhhh @minutia-r and @rukkilill and @vefanyar and @baladric and @toushindai, feel free to do this or not, as you like. :)
