List the first lines of your last 20 stories (or however many you have altogether). See if there are any patterns. Then, tag your favourite authors.

1. Connect (FEH, G, Roy & Ninian) Roy is transfixed by her. She's beautiful, elegant in her steps and gentle in her voice, embodying the perfect lady who has nonetheless the streak of a warrior.

2. Bump & Talk (KnB, G, NijiHimu) There's this guy Shuuzou always, always, bumps into wherever he goes. The cafeteria. In between classes. In the dorms' hallways. In the bathroom, Jesus Christ.

3. Thousands of feathery kisses (KnB, G, KagaHimu) Taiga is ten when he's dared to kiss Tatsuya's cheek. He's a bit embarrassed at the prospect of kissing anyone who isn't his mother or his father, but it's Tatsuya so it's not that bad.

4. Through their eyes (HQ, T, KinKage) “You're not Oikawa Tooru.”

5. Third inhabitant (HQ, G, KinKage) “No,” Kindaichi said with the most stern look he could muster, which was to say not very stern.

6. A handful (FE14, G, ShiroSieg) Shiro's plan was pretty simple, in fact, and didn't require formidable intellect to put it in motion. He wasn't known for his brains, after all, so he shouldn't do something that couldn't match with his personality and reputation.

7. No wonder (FE14, G, HinaKumi) After a training session in which Oboro totally destroyed Hinata, and would have destroyed Takumi as well if she didn't hold back, both men were changing back into more casual clothes to fetch some food.

8. No escape (FE14, G, HinaKumi) Hinata tossed around in the bed, desperately trying to block the horrible noises reaching his ears, but there was no way he could go back to sleep.

9. No idiocy allowed (FE14, G, HinaKumi) Takumi frowned, eyebrows drawn together in both worry and disbelief, while his retainer was happily munching on an apple with half his arm still bleeding.

10. No other way (FE14, T, HinaKumi) Hinata sputtered blood on the ground and coughed until he had no breath left. His body was aching everywhere.

11. Flowery star (FE14, G, XanLow) Xander generally prefers training alone, hidden from anyone's eye. He likes to feel at peace and to be able to focus on every attack and strike and slash he makes; when he trains with soldiers, he's too self-conscious of their gaze and of the prospect of embarrassing himself if he makes a mistake.

12. Warm as the sun (FE14, G, Xander & Olivia, XanLow) Xander doesn't look up from his teacup. He hasn't felt so nervous since he was a child; the return of a fast beating heart with a mind swirling with thoughts that knock against each other is not how he envisioned this meeting.

13. Small as it may be (FE14, G, XanLow) Laslow is bored. There is nothing to do in Lord Xander's quarters, except watching the floor and the flickering light of a candle at night.

14. Here for You (KnB, G, HaiKise) Ryouta has been following him for the past hour and honestly it's getting on his nerves. Who did he think he was, his mom?

15. Dance with me (KnB, G, HaiKise) “This is fucking stupid. I'm not doing this.” “Don't be a baby Shougo-kun.” “Go to your party alone, I'm not doing this.”

16. In the making (KnB, G, HaiKise) Kise glances to the side, not even bothering to hide his suspicious demeanor. The man next to him growls. 

17. Walk on, wandering soul (FF Type-0, T, Ace) There was something oddly safe in this fight despite the heavy atmosphere. Maybe because his opponent wasn’t as big as the previous ones, maybe because the world ending outside the temple seemed far more dangerous, or maybe because Ace had become used to fight monsters and not humans.

18. For the better (FF Type-0, G, Qator) Qator Bashtar has always strived for more. 

19. Coffee (KnB, G, HaiKise) Haizaki groans and sloppily crashes on the couch in the living room. He switches the TV on and zaps channels until he finds something worth his morning time.

20. To give a hand (FMA, G, Ed & Hohenheim) Ed stifles another groan as he tries to tie his hair in a ponytail that won't result in the loss of half his hair. More often than not, his right prosthetic arm gets stuck in his blond locks, and when he manages to retrieve it he always finds some loose hair stuck on it.

I generally like to get right into the action when starting a story. That, or single out one thought of the character the focus is on. This list makes one whole year of English fics, but in the meantime I also wrote some fics in French.
