Writing Patterns Tag Game

Tagged by @cr-noble-writes and @rotschopf-thedrow, thank you!!

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

Tagging @urrone, @vhenadahls @sorchacahill @mrsd-writes and anyone else who may feel so inclined, no pressure!

Dark Star:

Unlike most of the soirees Garrus has been to lately, the food is actually good.

Mezzo:

At first, you think you can survive this.

The Light We Make:

What little light makes it through Altahe’s thick clouds fades without fanfare as night closes in.

Fugue:

The first salvo hit with Shepard in mid-laugh.

The Stories We Tell:

The nice thing about Shepard’s alien menagerie is that they leave Joker alone.

Capriccio:

Forget relays and first contact wars and discovering aliens. The real test of courage and mettle is having an eight-year-old named Sam Shepard.

Heartstoppers from Beyond the Veil:

Shepard thunders through the ‘Yang’s airlock like it’s a day of reckoning, and every single person between him and the crew deck makes the quick and wise decision to get the hell out of his way before they wind up being the one he reckons with.

Space Talk:

Kaidan nearly slips going down the hill towards the prothean artifact.

Concerto:

New Message, Shepard, Sam, Staff Commander, 5923-AC-2826: -You awake?

Warm With You:

The pale light of Shepard’s fish tank casts an eerie glow around the otherwise dark cabin.

Hm. I tend to use my opening lines to do a lot of scene setting. I rarely open with dialogue, because until the reader knows where they are, the dialogue is just kind of hanging in space. I will break that rule on occasion, but I generally want a good reason.
