First Lines Meme

While I'm waiting for more "plotting practice" prompts (see previous post), another ficmeme. (Why, yes, I have been idly drifting back through my meta and fic bunny tags, why do you ask?)

First Lines! Previously meme'd in 2008 and 2012:

( Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics... )

( And try to find a pattern.... )

What do you think? Anything that sticks out to you that I'm overlooking?
