Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway!
The Laws of Motion:
He was falling.
He was falling, and his grapnel was no longer of any use.
Contact:
Tech did not especially wish to disparage a man and his daughter for their name, but as he completed his preliminary inspection of the parts of the early warning system that were located closest to the Archium on the island itself, he concluded that ‘hazard’ was an unfortunate, if accurate, coincidence.
After the Mission (We Can be Free):
Makee looked at the book in her hand. He cared. Cared enough to find a copy of the only thing she'd ever had that brought her comfort. "Thank you," she whispered, close to tears. It wasn't the same, but it didn't matter.
A Monument to All My Sins:
"So that's it?" Soren asks, and John can't tell if it's anger, hurt, or some combination in the other Spartan's voice.
Century:
The last seconds of Denet’s existence pass by quickly.
Ithakas is in danger. The King’s gift must be unleashed.
Cortana the One Hundred and Seventeenth:
Does a life have any meaning / If no one knows your name? / If not then I’m the only one to blame
“When the game is over, the King and the Pawn go back into the same box.”
Prayer:
He is so gentle, in ways she could not have possibly comprehended before truly getting to know him. Because John may be a Spartan, but he is also so reverent that she could cry.
Spark of Life, Cleansing Flame:
343 Guilty Spark, Monitor of Installation 04, felt a subroutine that had not been triggered since its installation flicker at the corner of his consciousness.
“Interesting! A Reclaimer seems to have united the two Waystones. Perhaps I should investigate…. Hm. That is odd. The signal terminated prior to the opening of the slipspace tunnel. No matter, I believe I can open my own.”
Shielding Experiments:
Kai’s showing off again for the marines when she notices it. She’s in her armor for once, and the marines are taking turns naming things they think she can’t lift over her head from the ground. So far, they’ve gone through two transport carts (one loaded with marines, one not), a full ammo pallet for a Scorpion, a Warthog, a Pelican chaingun complete with ammo drum, and a Rhino engine block when her next challenge finally overtaxes her armor’s systems.
Sapphic Seminary Shenanigans:
“Alright, hon, you think that’s everything?”
“Yeah, I think so, Daddy,” Honor answered, setting the last box on the floor of her and Mike’s shared room.
