Looking Back at Fic
A Year of Fic-ish First Lines
January:
Dylan awoke inside a small, hardly furnished wooden room. ("Impossibilities"; Andromeda; Dylan/Harper)
~ Now, ~ Crawford said over their telepathic link as the coin toss finally came up heads, and the weeks of jumpiness, frustration, and impatience Schuldig had felt disappeared, to be replaced by a fierce elation. ("Live Free or Die"; Weiß Kreuz; Crawford/Schuldig)
Schuldig slid his hand up Crawford’s thigh, its final destination obvious. ("Mr. Self-Control"; Weiß Kreuz; Crawford/Schuldig)
February:
Aya awoke sitting in a chair, angry at himself for dozing off like that. ("Trauma Center"; Weiß Kreuz)
March:
Sitting in med-bay, Beka stared hollowly into space, her holonovel drooping from her fingers. ("After Life"; Andromeda; Harper/other)
All the times Yoji made it up these stairs in the dark without any trouble while drunk, he had to stumble badly on them while mostly sober? ("Meddling"; Weiß Kreuz; Yoji/Aya and some mild Schuldig/Crawford)
April:
Crawford considered the piles of files in front of him. ("Social Suicide"; Weiß Kreuz)
May:
Just like he never worked in the flower shop when he could get away with slacking off, Yoji never stood in the flower shop when he could get away with leaning on something. ("The View"; Weiß Kreuz; Yoji/Aya)
August:
“Nagi’s at the door,” Schuldig said, feeling the approach of Nagi’s fatigue and the heavy vibration of his angry power. ("Noli Me Tangere"; Weiß Kreuz)
Nagi felt a familiar presence at the edge of his perception before he heard Schuldig greet him with a hearty telepathic ~ Hey, Nagichen! We’re back in Japan. ~ ("Spontaneity"; Weiß Kreuz; Crawford/Schuldig, Nagi/Schuldig, Crawford/Nagi/Schuldig)
October:
This hurt. ("Catch-Up"; Saiyuki)
November:
Crawford foresaw it only seconds before the singing waitstaff started walking towards them loudly singing “Happy Birthday.” ("Milestones"; Weiß Kreuz; Crawford/Schuldig)
December:
“That should do it,” Omi said as he closed up the medical kit. ("Stitches"; Weiß Kreuz; Yoji/Aya)
