10 First Lines

thanks for the tag @adsosfraser & @atelierlili 🤩

Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

Fell in Love with the Fire Long Ago: “Isn’t fall just the best time of year?” Madge says, looking up at the changing leaves on the trees as we walk into town. I’m not sure if it’s the type of question that warrants an answer, but I still give her a small smile in return.

(Re)liability: Rebirth. Restructure. Restore. Relearn. Rejoice. // Those are the Five Rs, the pillars of New Panem. President Paylor and her cabinet wasted no time sharing their plans for the country. Rebirth as a new nation.

Please Stay: Katniss. // Her name rang through his head, managing to break through the aggressive clicks from the beetles they were fighting.

Double Date: “What can I say? College football days should always be the best days of a man’s life. Now your best days can be listening to me talk about them.”

Muscle Memory: Baking came easily. // Dr. Aurelius ensured that Peeta’s kitchen was stocked for his return to Twelve.

Glances: His father points her out to him, an introduction paired with a story of a love once lost.

BONUS unreleased WIPs lines:

(all of these titles are what i refer to them as but not the real titles because i can’t name things until they’re done)

Your Apartment: “Dude! Are you almost ready or what?” Finnick yelled up the stairs of their shared house.

Meet Cutes: My best friend is a fool. She is kind and caring and smart and gentle and strong and brave, but she is a fool nonetheless.

Headphones: My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old. I should be dead. Why am I not dead?

Thank You: The boy and the girl. The girl and the boy. For a childless adult, Haymitch’s thoughts have been all too consumed with thoughts of the two teens he was assigned to mentor a little over a year ago.

here’s a little blurb from an unnamed modern AU i work on intermittently where katniss is a transfer student as a senior a few months after she lost prim (i’ve previously called it head doctor vs. headphones but that’s absolutely not the final title)

Autumn might not always be my favorite season, but I can see why Madge would say something like that today. Harvestfest makes Panem seem like the happiest place on Earth. All of the shop owners set up small booths in the town square, offering samples for free and other purchasable items. There’s activities for everyone: pumpkin decorating and sack races for the kids, and hard apple cider and pumpkin ale chugging contests followed by drunk bobbing for apples for the adults. The booths and streets alike are decorated with nice fall decorations. It’s the time of year our small town adopts a real sense of community.

Last Line WIP Game

here’s a line from the harvestfest fic i’m writing for commentfeast!

tagging: @unnamednarrator, @mage-chocolate, or anyone else that wants to play! :)

Rebirth. Restructure. Restore. Relearn. Rejoice.

Those are the Five Rs, the pillars of New Panem. President Paylor and her cabinet wasted no time sharing their plans for the country. Rebirth as a new nation. Restructure the government so all people, Capitol or District, are treated as equals and valued the same. Restore the Capitol and districts to be even better than they were before. Relearn our history, both that which formed Panem and which came far before, so we do not allow our recent past to happen again. And rejoice in our success as one.

I’d find it more comforting if the slogan didn’t sound like a perfectly punctuated line from a propo. I can almost hear Plutarch’s pleased chuckle when he and Fulvia presented the work to the new president herself.

WIP File Game

“Haymitch referred to me as your ‘whatever it is that I am’ today,” I say as I nestle my head into the center of Peeta’s chest, getting ready to sleep.

“Did he?” He asks as he wraps his arms around me, and I nod. He hesitates a moment before asking, “Well, what do you want to be?”

I furrow my brow and ask, “What do you mean?”

WIP Title Game

Thanks for the tag @mollywog!

Prompt: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Katniss.

Her name rang through his head, managing to break through the aggressive clicks from the beetles they were fighting. At least “beetle” was the closest word Peeta could associate with the insect. These beetles were mutts, a creation of the Capitol’s design. With bodies as big as house cats' and pincers over a foot long, they were no feat of nature. Their shells were so strong that their weapons were nearly useless against the insects unless the blades were aimed at the beetles’ joints, which seemed to be left unshielded to aid in their mobility.

Katniss.
