@theherocomplex tagged me to list the first lines of my last ten fics. Here’s what we’ve got:

Subtle (DA): Dorian couldn’t say the scenery had improved any as he got further south.

Movie Night (ME): “It’s just the three of us tonight,” Renee told them, “so let’s pick a couple movies.”

Lakeshore Morning (DA): In the old days, Dorian tended to greet mornings more often at the tag-end of a decadent evening than from rising at the first peep of dawn.

untitled fluff (DA): The summer sun, high even late into the evening, bathes the Inquisitor’s quarters with light, giving Dorian a grand opportunity to indulge in one of his simplest pleasures: merely watching his lover.

Not a Cat Person (MEA): They’d talked about pets, once, one of those late-night conversations about things they’d left behind in the Milky Way that was like gingerly picking around the edges of a scab, a weird mix of nostalgia and painful.

Looking to the future (ME): Garrus was waiting when Melia closed up the clinic, sitting in the lounge and scrolling through a datapad like he was just any waiting patient, and not a highly decorated war hero.

Skyhold in the rain (DA): Autumn rain fell on Skyhold in sheets, out of a sky clotted with clouds, thick gray and swirling.

Reunion (ME): “There’s one last thing,” Shepard said, shifting from one foot to the other as he stood in Anderson’s office.

Between the Pages (DA): Hawke, Greetings from Kirkwall. I don’t know if this will reach you, but I wanted to tell you how things are going.

Separation (MEA): Over time, Ryder had gotten so used to having SAM in her head that she’d stopped thinking about it.

Trends: Long sentences with multiple clauses. Attempts to set a scene. Lots of DA lately.

Tagging anyone who would like to do this!
