Home or Something Like It

Move in day was quickly shaping up to be one of Dean’s least favorite days in the history of forever.

Bound and Tide

Rey sits on a high rock, just past the shore.

Under Twin Moons

“Just a little longer, okay, Rose?” Finn says, his voice more breath than words.

Cat’s Cradle

Sam tucks himself into his computer nook, steaming cup of coffee cradled in his hands.

Strength Enough to Build a Home

There’s a knock at the Winchester’s door.

These Roads We Take

Despite all the things Sam’s seen and done in his life, he’s never put much stock in tarot readings.

Night at the Fish Zoo

“How much trouble do you think I’d get in if I took a naked selfie right now and sent it to Balthazar?”

The Dragon’s Keep

This was how Dean was going to die.

A Little More Than Super Friends 

Castiel was being punished.

Trigger Happy

Sam’s fingers tightened around Jimmy’s neck as he gulped, his Adam’s apple bobbing against Sam’s palm.

Observations: 

My first sentences tend to amount to “named character does a thing” which I think is probably a good way to introduce who and what we’re getting into. Fics with a lighter tone tend to have shorter beginning sentences. I hope these are all decent enough hooks that my readers would want to read more, because that’s always my aim. I guess I’m not as much of a fan of starting with dialogue as I once was because only two of these begin with spoken words.
