First Lines

I was tagged by @unremarkablegirl and this looks super fun!

Rules: List the first line of your last 20 stories (if you have less, list them all.) See if you can find any patterns and choose your favorite opening line. Tag your favorite authors. 

I’ve listed things from the order of my most recent works on AO3. 

I’ll Let My Guard Down (But Only With You)  | Memori, Rated T | The 100

Emori sips on her firewhiskey, taking in the raucous energy of the Slytherin common room.

Stuck On You | Memori/Nemori/Harphy, Rated M  | The 100

Murphy fidgets in his seat, his leg shaking under the table.

One and Done | Nemori, Rated E | The 100

Emori doesn’t think she’ll ever get used to the reverent stares she gets all throughout Sanctum since everyone thinks she’s Kaylee.

Start The New Year Off Right | Clurphy/Jobriel, Rated T | The 100

Clarke stares at herself in the mirror, a sense of anticipation bubbling in her stomach.

Best Kept Secret | Polin, Rated T | Bridgerton

Penelope loves a lazy weekend morning.

Miss Griffin | Bellarke, Rated T | The 100

In all her twenty-one years of life, Clarke Griffin had wanted for nothing.

Emori perks up at the chime of her phone as she receives an email.

Our Favorite Surprise | Memori, Rated G | The 100

The last twenty-six hours have been a whirlwind for Emori.

Piece Me Back Together | Memori/Murven/Clurphy, Rated T | The 100

John Murphy hadn’t planned on starting his life over.

Cold-Blooded | Bellarke/Clurphy, Rated T | The 100

Clarke Griffin didn’t expect to like Arkadia, Washington.

Somewhere We Belong | Memori, Rated T | The 100

Not so long ago, the kingdoms of Sangedakru and Trikru were joined by marriage and they lived in harmony.

‘tis the season (to light up the neighborhood) | Bellarke/Murven, Rated G | The 100

Raven loves to work, but she can still just as easily appreciate a lazy weekend afternoon.

Of Parenting and Accidental TikTok Fame | Clurphy, Rated G | The 100

Upon first glance, most people would not peg John Murphy for a sentimental man.

all i want for christmas is you (and my six closest friends) | Bellarke, Rated T | The 100

Bellamy pulls into Murphy and Emori’s driveway, a wave of excitement hitting him, not for the first time this evening.

Dream A Little Dream of Me | Clurphy, Rated T | The 100

Clarke wandered through the desert, all hope seemingly lost.

We Don’t Need To Say It | Memori, Rated M | The 100

It all starts when Bellamy and Clarke get engaged.

danger has a hold on me (but i’m safe in your arms) | Memori, Rated E | The 100

Emori was used to danger.

you’re the last best thing i’ve got going | Murven, Rated T | The 100

Murphy sits against his bedroom door, his head leaned back against the wood.

When You Move, I’m Moved | Memori, Rated T | The 100

Emori bounces up and down on the side of the room as she watches the group ahead of her perform the combination across the floor.

In Dads We Trust | Bellarke/Memori, Rated G | The 100

Bellamy frowns.

I feel like a pattern in my opening sentences based on these is that I tend to start with some sort of action or observation. Also apparently, I use a lot of very straightforward sentences. I think my favorite of these is probably from Miss Griffin. I just wanted to emulate the first line of Emma, and I think this was my little way of doing that.
