First Lines Meme

I saw @parcequelle do this and thought it looked super cool! 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 patterns. Choose your favorite opening line.

My tiny chest burned. The Autobiography of Kirsten Clancy - Star Trek Picard, T, and that’s the first line not including the foreword by Jean-Luc Picard

“Cadet Musiker, reverse your vector…. Cadet Musiker, come about…. Raffi, what the hell are you doing? Answer your comm.” I Ran Toward Your Pain, Unknowing, Yet Find You By My Side, Still Loving - Raffi/Seven, Star Trek Picard, T

He exits the warden’s office, grey pants legs smooth, ankle monitor gone. Fly Me to the Moon - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, E

The new uniforms don’t bother him, grey shoulders instead of red, crimson turtleneck, starch in the sleeves. Little Galaxies in Her Eyes - Janeway/Chakotay, Star Trek Voyager, G

Navigational Control is tiny, tucked into deck twelve, section B7, between Environmental Control and the Secondary Command Processors. Console Me (Four Times Paris and Janeway Almost Had Sex and One Time They Did) - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, E

“You’ll like it, trust me.” Mark steps with Kathryn through the crowds, street lamps high overhead casting yellow angles in the foggy night. “I know your taste.” Feet on the Ground - Janeway/Chakotay, Star Trek Voyager, G

The four senior staff members whispered in a mess hall deserted except for Neelix tidying in the kitchen and themselves on sofas near the door. Hot for Teacher - Chakotay & Neelix, Janeway/Chakotay, Chakotay/Torres, Chakotay/Paris, Chakotay/Kim, Star Trek Voyager, G

You’re not contrary. Anthropology - Chakotay/Torres, Star Trek Voyager, T

You think she’s annoying. Love Me Like the Ocean - Jurati/Rios, Star Trek Picard, T

The first time he touches your hand, you know he plays an instrument. A Waning Note Lifts A Love Song - Paris/Kim, Star Trek Voyager, T

“I won’t make that mistake again.” The Story Always Ends the Same Way - Janeway/Chakotay, Star Trek Voyager, T

The door slides open and she says, “Does B’Elanna know you’re here?” In the Doorway - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, T

The holodeck doors hiss open. Under an Endless Sky - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, M

It makes sense. It does. Really. Across the Universe - multiple pairings but that one is Kira Nerys/Seska, most Star Treks, T

Cris has been to the shipyard five times. Siren Song - Paris & Rios, Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Picard, G

“Captain.” The operations officer looked up from readings that shouldn’t be possible. “A ship is approaching, and I — I think it’s at warp.” Asunder - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, T

The mattress under her back is softer than standard in starship sickbays. Not This Time - multiple Kathryn Janeway pairings, Star Trek Voyager, T

The old man leaned heavily on a cane. Through round glasses, his wide eyes studied the base-level solar panels, then arced upward, shaded by a flat hand, to take in the gleaming spire. Meeting of the Minds - Shannon O’Donnel Janeway & Benny Russell, Kathryn Janeway & Benjamin Sisko, G

Captain Vandermeer always said a crew could bond over the thrill of discovery or a crew could bond over shared adversity. Long Nights on La Sirena - Raffi/Seven, Star Trek Picard, M

“It was Admiral Patterson.” Table Talk - Janeway/Paris, Star Trek Voyager, G

Patterns and a favorite aren't occurring to me, but this was fun!
