From

astrogirl and other friends: the first lines of the last ten fanfictions written by yours truly. It's been long enough (read: years) for me to do this meme again, though I noticed at once that I still had to go back not two but three Yuletides to get to ten. Two start with a quote from a canon scene and take off from there, the others with a statement of sorts, and yep, there's a lot of Marvel, some history, and some literature.

1. „This is a one way trip,“ Mr. Stark had said. (Anything like me), MCU, Peter Parker & Tony Stark)

2. It had seemed like a clear-cut job, just the kind she’d signed up for. (Five times Peggy Carter Compromised , MCU, Peggy Carter/Moral Compromises)

3. As an evil millionaire's lair went, this one was pretty much par for the course, Bond thought. (For their eyes only (Agent Carter/James Bond, Peggy Carter, James Bond, Howard Stark)

4. On the day of her engagement, Emily Peggotty was ready to drown herself. Selkie Bride (David Copperfield, Emily Peggotty, Emily/Steerforth, Steerforth/David, Emily/Her Own Agenda)

5. There was never any question of not attending Servilia’s funeral procession. (Ash and Iron, Rome, Atia & Servilia)

6. Mitchell Sorley hadn't planned to spend his honeymoon risking his life between clashing icebergs, but then, he hadn't planned to have a honeymoon in the first place, and sometimes things just worked out that way. (Icebound, Order of the Air novels, Mitchell Sorley/Stasi Rostov, Leni Riefenstahl)

7. The woman who’d come through the Rift looked utterly human, but it took Owen no more than a check on her heartbeat to realise she was anything but. (Further on upon the road, Torchwood/Doctor Who, Owen Harper, Missy, Jack Harkness)

8. The first time Howard debated human nature with a German, he hadn’t been Howard Stark for long. (Tomorrow, in a year, Howard Stark & German scientists (both invented and historical, complete with science/ethics/compromises threesome)

9. "And in his inhuman form?" Vanessa asked. (Falling Towards Apotheosis, Penny Dreadful, Vanessa Ives & Ensemble, Vanessa/Epic Quest)

10. Of all my ghosts, I did not expect yours to be the one to come to me, in these hours before my death. (Gentlemen of the Shade, (Shakespeare's History Plays, Owen Tudor, Henry V., Falstaff, Catherine de Valois)
