First Lines (Fantasy only)

So okay, I'm cheating lol. The problem with doing all of my stories is that it takes so much time to go through and gather all the first lines using my phone, which is all I use! So I am ONLy postiing my favoirite genre to read and write (fantasy) and only the ones from 2014-current, because I already posted everything up to 2014 lol. So here goes!

Not gonna lie, Twisting Paths is still my favorite open LOL. I did notice a theme, though... does anyone else see what element I use to open my fantasy stories with? LOL made me laugh. Also, the last few stories on this list are still in the editing process and likely the first lines will change before I actually publish those.

Twisting Paths is definitely one of my favorites as well, but like Gaksital said, Promise is very eye catching too. :D
I don't blame you for only posting the fantasy ones given the use of your phone. I would have to congratulate for even managing that much (I would have thrown my phone away by then lol). Lots of awesome openers though. I really like revisiting your words for sure. ^_^

Gosh I really really love these. Especially twisting paths and cruel magic <3
Is the breaking not on here though? Perhaps because it's older?
