flambeau's meme about my favorite 10 opening lines from a fanfic.
or alternately, i guess, the opening lines from 10 of my most favorite fanfics. now, i prefer the former, because i have a -lot- of favorites (just the hp fandom, forget others)-- because i rarely remember/note down stories that are good but don't touch me. so if i remember it, it's either Really Really Bad or it's a favorite. so.
i decided to discard the beloved stories (ie, IP-- yes, IP, i have to hand it to that fic-- i adored it while reading, and origins, and luw, and `the losing side') the opening lines of which are... well. *coughs* you know how it is. not something i want to remember them by ><;;
but, i also didn't want to include stories which have -killer- opening lines that grabbed me that i loved, but which aren't really my all-time favorites, and are just "really enjoyable fics".
so, with those disclaimers, and somewhat flippantly, i give you...
(in random order)
1. - If he had known at the time it would be his last really good orgasm in this skin he would have made more noise.
~~ Atrophy, Aja
2. - It is often observed by Quidditch aficionados that part of the appeal of the game, part of its timelessness, part of the way in which it expresses the eternal optimism and indomitable spirit of the wizarding world, is that it’s a sport which is not played against a time clock.
~~ A Brief Period Before the Resumption of Play, by Audrey
3. - The flies followed Draco Malfoy to Hogwarts. They came in droves, crawling with sticky-sweet feet in the underbelly of his luggage trolley, wriggling into the neatly folded clothes and buzzing, suspiciously, around his clean piles of underwear.
~~ what i affectionately refer to as the "lord-of-the-flies!draco" fic, by Trin
4. - There was just something about the way Harry Potter buttered his toast in the morning that was absolutely the last straw.
~~ Butter and Pigtails, Silvia
5. - You don't see me, but I'm watching you.
~~ Absence, Amalin
6. - Some people. They say we're together. I don't believe it myself, but say we're taking this as a
given:
H(x)/D(x) = x^3 sec(x)
find:
what it would be like.
oh-oh-oh.
~~ H(x)/D(x) = x^3 sec(x), by Bec
7. - I do not fit inside your back pocket.
~~ In Dialogia, IvyBlossom & Libertine yes, it's a poem. so what? hmf.
8. - Harry thought about himself as he entered the water. Or… perhaps he did not.
~~ Underwater Light, Maya
9. - At approximately 6:12 on a Tuesday evening, Draco Malfoy realized he entered an alternate universe. Either that or the world had gone completely, utterly mad.
~~ How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back, Durendal
10. - I never loved him.
It was something else.
~~ Artful Facade, Sky Sorceress
and thus the cookie crumbled ^^
and i actually did have an entry, but um...later.
