first sentence patterns
rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern! I was tagged by the illustrious @oknowkiss and so had to take a day to fangirl and perish and faint but let's put some SENTENCES. Also, I stole your formatting!
Perennial Blooms || drarry || 5k || E
A single, soft footfall lands on the floor near the entrance of the hospital wing, and Draco is instantly, fully awake.
I'll Find You Again (I Always Do) || drarry || 15k || E
Draco didn’t come here to jump.
Yoga with Draco || drarry || wip || E
The doors of the lift open, and Harry’s plan to start fresh in the new year bumps into its first obstacle.
Get What You Knead || drarry || 7.5k || E
Harry peers through the window of his newly minted tattoo parlour, his heart beating fast, though not as hard as it was five minutes ago, when he first saw the ghost.
I Was Late (You Were Early) || drarry || 12k || E
Bright stars send pinpricks of light through pale clouds as Harry huffs and puffs his way up the final few steps.
Speak Softly || drarry || wip || E
At half-ten on Wednesday morning, Potter declines to appear for their regularly scheduled snog.
Former Things Come to Mind || drarry || 65k || E
“Reparo.”
The Snowman || drarry || 3.5k || E
Draco wakes in a room filled with light and silence.
The Midnight Clear || drarry || wip || E
Diagon Alley on the first of December is the very picture of nostalgia.
The Scent of Soft Rains || drarry || 20k || E
For a single moment in the middle of being burned alive by dragonfire, the heat so intense it feels freezing and the pain so vast it’s the size of the sky, Harry is relieved.
Come play @starquestingfordrarry @mallstars @moonmanatee and anyone else because I suddenly can't remember anyone's name!

Quote
What is the use of the colon? What is a colon? Generally it opens onto an explanation, but it is always done with the help of an interruption. It can be said that the colon is not the period, it is the period of the period, the canceling of the period. It is a moment mute and marked; it is the most delicate tattoo of the text. It is also in place of, instead of, everything that would be causal. For example, when we read: "It's simply that: secret." "Secret," is a sentence, it is the shortest sentence perhaps. But it is a sentence in one word. It is a sentence that is secret and that at the same time says its name. One could invert and say: "Secret: it is simply that." This is secret, the secret is the secret of this, it is a word which makes infinite sense all by itself, it is a sentence which performs the secret itself.

Pixie really have hard time reading , is try but . simple words help lots for Pixie .
and . easier to read short sentences.
but . Pixie not know about grammar.

Yet I am in love with words. They are doves falling out of the ceiling.
“Be careful of words, even the miraculous ones. For the miraculous we do our best, sometimes they swarm like insects and leave not a sting but a kiss. They can be as good as fingers. They can be as trusty as the rock you stick your bottom on. But they can be both daisies and bruises. Yet I am in love with words. They are doves falling out of the ceiling. They are six holy oranges sitting in my lap. They are the trees, the legs of summer, and the sun, its passionate face…”
— Anne Sexton, a fragment from “Words”, from the book “The Awful Rowing Toward God” (Houghton Mifflin Co; March 1, 1975) (via Alive on all Channels)
