tysm for the tag @thescrapwitch !! 💕🌺
List the first lines of your last few stories. See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line.
this looks fun but I'll only do a few because I've realised how long mine are. huh. i've never really compared my opening lines before.
- (fics are hyperlinked, for those who are interested in any of these. all LU fics)
kakariko lights: “Well it’s nice to have you in the area again kid, even if your companions are a bunch of weirdos.”
wounded: Even if he could go back in time and restart the day - restart the year - Twilight didn't think it was possible to change the course of events.
project stitch: After Warriors stepped through another swirling portal and finished righting himself - subtly trying to shake off the horrid feeling of being dizzy and dazed - his heart leapt in his chest.
korok forest: Wild instantly knew they were back in his Hyrule the moment their swirling portal fell to the wayside, whirling away on the Lanayru breeze.
settling dust: Time was quickly realising that the time-travel misadventures of his youth weren’t really helping him adapt to the sensation of being flung through a dizzying portal to another era altogether.
undertow: Twilight might’ve been a country boy at heart, from a removed, close-knit rural village – but he could still appreciate the coastal respite of Outset Island, and all its blessings.
opening lines are always the hardest part for me. no contest.
it's a tossup between Wounded and Kakariko lights, for my favourite opener. they just feel a little more attention-grabbing than the others.
this was insightful though, it seems i default to the arriving-in-a-new-place opener, which is good to keep in mind from now on.
anyone who wants to do this is free to reblog from me and give it a go! <3
