Monday, 15 April 2013 01:10I couldn't resist. It's amazing that I've even written 21 pieces. I'd really like to revise a few of the things from my writing journal and put them up somewhere...
Post the first lines of your last 21 fics.
1. Some of Eliwood's most precious memories were of days spent in Ostia as a young boy. [Eliwood/Cecilia WIP]
2. Finn's voice just wouldn't come. [“I Need to Say This” – Raquesis/Finn]
3. A gentle breeze, a powerful hurricane – he could be anything. [Inigo/Gerome; WIP]
4. “Tell me, where did you learn to fight like that?” [Lucina, Roy; WIP]
5. He looked up at their tutor, his blue eyes wide. [nerdy!Roy, Lilina, Cecilia; untitled]
6. This was the first time Lilina had seen him like that. [“The Worst Day” – Lilina, Guinevere]
7. "Hush now. You know boys don't cry at times like this... You have to be strong for mother – and for Altea." [Marth and Elice; untitled WIP]
8. In the end, they knew that they must have done something right. [Shanan and Oifey bromance, untitled WIP]
9. Four sets of wide little eyes peer at him. [“Hisashiburi” – Raven, Rebecca]
10. He was young, they said, too young for any serious man to hire. [Oujay, Lilina; untitled]
11. She had been staring at him a lot. [“Idiot” – Wolt, Lilina]
12. He watches them tonight as he's watched them hundreds of times before. [Roy, Alen, Lance; untitled]
13. She'd gotten so used to the usual battle formations that she almost didn't realize that the blur of blue and green to her right wasn't the boy she'd grown to know, but, rather, an enemy swordsman. [“You're Weird” – Wolt/Sue]
14. Their triumphant return comes with much praise and splendorous celebration. [“Breath” – Alen, Lance, Wolt, and the diabolical dinner plans of SIR RADDY]
15. When the Ilian mercenary knight known as Grant had pulled him out of the tangle of mutilated bodies, he saw light for the first time in days. [“Words” – Lance-centric]
16. Edward had never really liked wintertime in Nevassa. [“Wintertime in Nevassa” – Edward-centric, his first meeting with Leonardo; WIP]
17. Hector of Ostia was just a year older than his friend Eliwood of Pherae when he went through his ascension ceremony to be named leader of not only Ostia, but also the head of the Lycian League. [“To Sew the Seeds of Discord” – Florina, Ninian; huge loveweb thing I never finished because of multiple file corruptions, also because I lost access to the computer with all my notes on it that I REALLY want to go back, fix, and continue]
18. "You've never been hunting before? Really?" [“The Deer in the Mountains” – Wolt/Sue]
19. "Lord Roy, you're injured!" [“Rain” – Roy and Wolt]
20. "It's not like you to be late, Eliwood... Something wrong?" [“Cell Level Shock” – Eliwood, Hector, Lilina, Wolt, and Roy; VIGILANTE JUSTICE AU. Wins 'my best written line ever' award for the following: Wolt was behind her, hiding his face and looking generally like he'd just seen a litter of puppies crushed by a steamroller.]
21. Those who recognized him were few and far between. [“Ice” - Nils and Raigh]

Okay I use a lot of pronouns. Also I write an awful lot of stuff involving Lilina, now that I look at it.
Also I would just like to say to Mr. Lappy right now that I'm sorry for shaking you when your touchpad mousey thing wasn't working, and I love you and never want to break you. I hope we can still be friends because I-
yep there it is. I cry when I feel bad about mistreating inanimate objects. Time for bed! My extra-fluffy pillowcase will absorb my tears.
