First Line Meme

Apr 05, 2021 16:54

I haven't done a meme for ages, and this one is all around right now, so I'm going to have a go. Plus it's cold out there, and I'm building myself up to go for a walk, and this is a nice delaying building-up strategy. *g*

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all). See if there are any ( Read more... )

13, because they are obviously together, possibly in the morning after a night together and they have time for a coffee... what more could you wish for?

I thought at first you mean you knew #8 - but you recognise eight stories? That's so cool! *vbg*

And lol - a fan of being to the point, I take it... or else a fan of Bodie... *g*

I'm going to be very cheeky and include *my* favourite opening lines of one of your stories. I'll let you remember the title:

Fuck, they'd made it onto the bus with him, just when he thought he was well away, were pounding up the stairs even as he realised it. There was no one else up there, so Bodie put his back to the wall, and prepared to fight, weaponless for the first time in months, almost in years...There was blood on the bus...

Hee - I like your cheek! The remit said the last 20 stories, and that took me back to 2018. The Silver Jubilee one didn't quite make it in... *g* But I love that you remember that one!

I really like #1. Because it feels like them, to me - the bond between them is so unbreakable at least partly because no-one else knows them and their not-all-sunshine-and-roses life so deeply and absolutely :-s
