schmericaI am boring! And predictable! I jump upon interesting new meme going around!
"...it might be cool to start a meme where you list all the first lines of your fics and then people write drabbles in the comments with the same first line."
Which, you know, is pretty cool. Behind the cut tag are the first lines from my due South, Firefly and Everwood stories, and my one each in Sports Night and Pirates of the Caribbean. If anyone wants to play, I'll think you're mega-nifty. Feel free to make it something other than a drabble if you participate, as well -- any length is cool.
First lines
1. The first time Ray and Stella made it, he was seventeen, she was sixteen, and her parents were gone out of town for the weekend.
2. It had been good.
3. When Ray woke up, Fraser was asleep, laying all still and precise on the bed.
4. Ray Vecchio was there to meet Fraser's plane, which was both a pleasure and a relief.
5. I wake up before the alarm can sound -- little surprise, as it has become something of a habit for me these days.
6. It would have been nice, Fraser thought, if they had managed to wait even just another day before calling to check back in.
7. Endless day of school, with the click click click of the big black clock you watch out of the corner of your eye.
8. Dear Ray, I hope this letter finds you well.
9. It's Frannie that kisses Ray, first, but it's Ray who keeps the kiss going, his hand coming up to stroke at her hair with a tenderness she doesn't expect.
10. *Zip* went Fraser's zipper, easy as you please, and
"Ah," went Fraser, all nice and breathy, and
Thump THUMP went Ray's heart, slamming all around his chest like he was running a marathon or hopped up on coke or something.
11. When Fraser and Dief walked in the door, Ray was sitting in front of the fire, writing a letter.
12. This morning in your car, as you drove us to the station, we stopped at a red light.
13. When she was eight years old, Dief got sick.
14. Simon was thirteen the first time he went offworld.
15. Simon awoke at the rasped whisper of his name.
16. The first thing Mal noticed in the morning -- before he even checked for his gun, or made sure all his equipment was working properly -- no, the very first thing he noticed at all was the crazy girl in his bed.
17. In the morning when River wakes up there's blood in her bed.
18. When she finally won, it came as a surprise, even to her.
19. The baby is growing up lovely.
20. It was about two weeks afer Kaylee joined the crew of Serenity when Mal came in to talk to her.
21. River is on a bed, in a room.
22. The first time it happened, I thought I was going nuts.
23. "So the one dude just starts, like, *whaling* on the other dude, right?"
24. There have been more than a few times since he moved to Everwood when Ephram's had the weird feeling that he's wandered into an alternate dimension.
25. It was after Elizabeth lost the second baby that Will began to notice a change.
26. L.A. isn't like Dan thought it would be.
