Tag Game: Ten First Lines

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

Thank you @marshmallowgoop for the tag!! I will also be including WIPs in this list!!

Tatsume Naoyuki doesn't know when he realizes that he's in a dream. [BIRDMEN, Tatsume, bits of his ex-wife and Marilyn, set mid-series, complete oneshot]

It's always this way with urban cities. [BIRDMEN, post-canon worldbuilding, complete oneshot]

The third and last day of the Eighth Annual Wing Summit draws to a close in the conference room of a lavish New York City hotel. [BIRDMEN, post-canon Karasuma and Takayama, WIP, abandoned]

"Arthur, you want my tater tots?" [BIRDMEN, Robin and Miguel, set mid-series, WIP]

It's a different stairwell these days, in a different school and a different era, but it's a stairwell all the same,  just like it was in junior high. [BIRDMEN, Karasuma and Sagisawa, post-canon, WIP]

It's that time of the night when the house grows sleepy, after dinner has been served, after showers have been taken, and the lights grow dim in the family room. [BIRDMEN, Umino and transmasc!Karasuma, mid-series, WIP]

"Why the long face, Trickster?" [BIRDMEN, Karasuma and Sagisawa, post-canon, complete oneshot]

Eishi, it's been a while since you've visited home. [BIRDMEN, Karasuma and Takayama, post-canon, complete oneshot]

It begins with a kiss; this is the moment that the spark of hope is kindled, the nameless hope Yoshimori carries softly in his chest. [Kekkaishi, Yoshimori and Soji, post-canon, WIP, unlikely to be completed]

“She could still be down there,” Yoshimori whispered weakly, shaking his head. “We don’t know that she’s failed. We— we can’t—” [Kekkaishi, canon divergence (Tokine fails to persuade Lord Mahora; Yoshimori eradicates her in the creation of his shinkai), WIP, abandoned]

Tagging @birdmenanime, @desfraisespartout, @kitsoa, @sakvnosuke, @charterandbarter, @tangentiallly, and anyone else who would like to do this!
