1.) Everything is the beginning of something until it's the end and there is Dawn on the floor of the bathroom dipping fingers into a puddle the impossibly dark red of black currant. (The Law of Equivalent Exchange, BtVS, third and final in the trilogy that really needs a name about Buffy, Dawn and Angel and the end of the world.)
2.) "Let's go," Ji Hoo says. (as soon as forever is through, Boys Over Flowers, AU k-drama)
3.) She is loved, or in love. (Beloved, Star Trek: AOS, Spock/Uhura drabble)
4.) "Come back to bed." (the point at which something begins, Roswell, Kivar/Vilandra drabble written fordarlas_mom.)
5.) There are miles to go but Angel never says, "Let's go back." (Compiliation for a Bittersweet Love Story: Five Decisions Buffy and Angel Never Made, BtVS/Angel, Five Things Challenge)
6.) Angel remembers the lake of fire, his blackened skin peeling back from the bones, and his skeletal fingers reaching for the shore where she is waiting. (Gorecki, BtVS, B/A for the IWRY marathon.)
7.) It's okay to fall in love with beautiful, damaged boys, you tell your daughter. (Songs to Sing Your Daughter, Harry Potter, sequel to when all the years fill in)
8.) The window is Buffy's favorite place. (One Thousand Kisses Deep, BtVS, 2nd in the un-named trilogy.)
9.) Wendy huddles into the warmth of Hook’s embrace, mesmerized by the rumbling bass of his voice and the bewildered tattoo of his heart beating frantically against her back. (The Seduction of Wendy Darling: A Tragedy in Three Parts, Peter Pan)
10.) Living under the Dursley's stairs, you dreamed of One Day. One day when you were bigger, stronger, a hero and saved the day.(when all the years fill in, Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny)
11.) Emmett has seen this before and waits patiently beneath the trees. (Crave, Twilight)
12.) Buffy's willing feet carried her to the scaffolding's edge. (Slayer's Lament, BtVS drabble)
13.) The house is quiet, absent of squealing girl voices squabbling over hot water and missing lip gloss. (this is the world, which is round. BtVS)
14.) She can smell it, the rising moon reflected in the wolf fur scent permeating her skin, at odds with the light, smiling citrus-honey-flower smell she bathes in. (Kvika, BtVS drabble)
15.) Angel plays Buffy tight, he's always known how. (Col Arco (with the bow), BtVS drabble)
16.) They all dream of blood in rainbows of red -- maroon, crimson, scarlet. (Sogni della Bambola, Gunslinger Girls)
17.) Yash ... a ... maru ... dono," she whispers. (Pas de Trois, Basilisk)
18.) And his eyebrows were singed and the curls on his head and the edges of the blanket wrapped around the baby. (Into the Valley, Angel drabble)
19.) Slayers, faceless and shadowed, stand like a wall between the world and the end. (The Tyger and the Lamb, Angel drabble)
20.) Critical Error (Reboot, TSCC drabble)
I suppose the obvious realization is how I like to start randomly in the middle.
