First Lines

I was tagged by @sexxicawrites and reclusiveq to list the first lines of my last ten fics to see if there are any patterns:

  1.    “Come in,” said Sherlock without looking up, getting his pencils and papers in order.
  2. Sherlock woke with a small groan.

  3. Sherlock found the party without a problem.

  4. John Watson was uncertain what to expect when he limped down the sterile hall.

  5. Greg sighed and stretched.

  6. Jack wiped his brow and leaned back, reaching for the bottle of water he had close at hand.

  7. John Watson adjusted his bag as he crossed to where Sherlock was waiting, leaning casually against his motorcycle.

  8. Everyone thinks that it’s only Sherlock that observes.

  9. John paced on the sidewalk.

  10. Jack never really slept anymore.

So apparently I tend to start with an action and a character. Also I had to try to resist the urge to re-read every fic I opened. Oops.

I’ll tag themadkatter13, jazzforthecaptain, chasingriversong and caitlinisactuallyawritersname
