"Remnant. Throughout thousands of years of history, hands of millions of poets wrote poems praising its beauty." - Under the Ashen Sky

The opening sentence for the rewrite of the chapter:

"Cold dread and heavy fatigue of another day swept across Schiefer's skin and bones."

I'm not sure if this sounds a bit too...I don't know, dour? tongue

From the amazing fanfic "Stormborn" by black.k.kat (No seriously, it's quite beautiful and the writing is just woah) There's a voice in Naruto's head, tucked in behind his thoughts, and it's always been there. From a One Piece fanfic, "Things thought lost" by Reyna of Rayne (?) He couldn't hear, couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't think.

It's an old fic that I can't find the link to it anymore, but I think the introduction went like:

"So a freelancer, a janitor, a graduate student, and a serial killer walks into a building..."

The first sentence to my Legend of Zelda fanfic: Zelda's Honor (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10082472/1/Zelda-s-Honor) is a bit underwhelming: 'Whispers, whispers....'

So...here's the second sentence which is more like a real one: 'The youthful man ignored the voices emanating from the one thing he dreaded carrying.'

My second fanfic is for Final Fantasy VII and its not complete like the first, only up to chapter 5. Fate Deceived is the title: (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11501485/1/FFVIII-Fate-Deceived) 'The soft buzzing of the alarm penetrated her senses as sleep began to dissipate from her mind.'

I appear to like starting with dialogue.

"Zekes really coming?" A Feddie Story

"Stop the truck!" Night Life
