Here you'll find the first lines of all my dS stories (I think) and the first lines of every story I could find that wasn't wholly fandom-specific. I've provided links to the stories, for whatever good that will do you. I've also included slightly more than just the first line in a few cases; for some stories, the first line was just a single word, which isn't all that evocative. But do as thou wilt, of course; you can chop off the rest of the line if you like.
