Meme/Drabble or Whatever
May. 8th, 2007 09:40 pmThere's a meme dating back from 2004 that's apparently revived, since I've seen it floating around on people's flists, so I thought I'd play along:
"...it might be cool to start a meme where you list all the first lines of your fics and then people write drabbles in the comments with the same first line."
I have a lot of fics, so I'll just post the first sentences of a lot of my CSI and SGA fics. The drabbles can be any fandom though. Though, um, some of them have names in the first line. *shifty eyes*
SGA
1. It begins, as most things do, by accident.
2. As soon as he hears that Rodney’s back from his latest mission, Radek heads to the other man’s quarters.
3. Rodney feels more relaxed than, well, he’s ever been, really, with Radek curled up against him, snoring softly.
4. At first, Radek is pleased by the warmth.
5. When they were first warned of the Wraith that dwelled in the forest, the travelers laughed.
6. Radek Zelenka is a smart man.
7. He’s never taking his sister’s advice seriously ever again.
8. Elizabeth was not a vain woman.
9. Rodney has never been a patient man.
10. When he first heard Radek Zelenka's voice and the way the other man almost rolled 'Dr. Rodney McKay?' off his tongue, it reminded him too much of Siberia.
11. There are many things that will not go down as a footnote in the history books regarding Atlantis, Elizabeth knows, and this moment, where Radek brushes a soft, tender kiss to her mouth and breathes out a hoarse, "May I?" as his hands caress the inside of her thighs, is one that will be disregarded as inconsequential.
12. One would have to be blind not to appreciate the way Ronon Dex radiated 'sex', not to mention utterly asexual if they didn't get a dry mouth and a hungry ache in their belly when Ronon focused one of those dark, half-sultry, half-feral smiles at them.
13. Radek collects facts now.
14. When Radek collects his bags and emerges from the Brno airport he cannot help but stop and stare.
15. Radek had just gotten into bed, his head a few centimeters away from the pillow, when someone began to pound on his door.
16. Rodney wasn’t really surprised when he opened his eyes to see the figure standing at the foot of his bed.
CSI
1. The first time they kiss, they’ve both had about six or seven drinks, and so the kisses are clumsy and hot and overeager, all self-restraint and common sense gone as hands tangle in clothes and hips grind together.
2. Conrad Ecklie’s voice is soft and smooth, and David pictures it like an oil spill spreading across the otherwise-pristine sea’s surface as the man leans forward and asks, "How do I know there won’t be a repeat of the…issues your superiors experienced at the LAPD if we accept you here at the Clark County Crime Lab, Mr. Hodges?"
3. It's funny, how it's not until the end of a relationship that people start to figure it out.
4. Wendy has always had three simple rules for one-night stands, and they have always served her well.
5. Greg should have known asking David out was a bad idea.
6. David often gets tired of fighting with a ghost.
7. Usually, David admits to himself, Greg has some pretty stupid ideas.
8. The problem with forgetting, Wendy thinks, is that first you must grasp the concept of forgiveness, and Wendy has always been the sort to hold grudges.
9. Greg isn’t sure how long he stands there, clutching the dictionary and staring in the direction that David’s taxi has gone.
10. David Hodges really, really hates people.
11. Wendy takes David Phillips out to breakfast in a moment of weakness.
12. Catherine Willows appreciates beauty of all types.
13. Greg doesn’t cheat.
14. The sound of humming meets his ears, and Bobby Dawson bites back a groan as Nick Stokes walks into the ballistics lab.
15. David Hodges knows that he has an active imagination.
16. There are lots of things Nick Stokes wants to say but most of them never escape his lips.
17. When Catherine all but snarls at her when she offers to help, Wendy cannot keep from being startled.
18. To this day, David isn't sure how he ended up with three total strangers as drinking buddies.
19. Wendy Simms isn’t a chain-smoker.
