Loving today’s #dvparty prompt!

Ten minutes changed everything. One fight, one sentence. “You’re not the Levi I fell in love with.” Then the world tilted in a way I still can’t explain.

THE AMULET OF KAKATA Opening line.

I have a very important question to ask you, but it has to stay between us.

THE SUN AND MOON BROOCHES Opening line.

“Tia, can I say goodnight to my primos, please?” Lucera’s wide, orange eyes looked up at her tia pleadingly.

OF MAGIC AND GRIEF Opening line.

Mami’s funeral was earlier today.

First line (and paragraph because the paragraph is the charmer) of The Zarzueala Thief. In 1920s Spain, Madrid is caught between el Dictator's inner circle, anarchists and a goddess who wants to take her body to save the world. #DVParty day 3 #DVPit #A #F #Hist #Q #Sapphic

Headline: The Zarzuela Thief

Text: I slip my hands into my pockets, searching for the gloves Lália gave me for Three Kings. Kidskin lined with silk, brought back from Paris with her Lanvin robe de style, both gifts from el Conde. So elegant! But, Lália, could your dress compare with my coat? Mercedes Josephine Monserrat Rubio wouldn’t wear just any coat. She’s going to be a vedette, a star, any day now. I demand it has extra holes. One in the left pocket just large enough to wiggle my pinky in, but thanks to yesterday’s sewing, secure enough for my keys. The other is a charmer. Just today, it opened up an entirely new front and what a success it had, like an artillery barrage. My entire hand slides right through. If the generals had such an effective attack in Morocco, we’d be winning the Rif War. My hand wasn’t the only one to breach the line. Some time earlier, my gloves used the fancy pocket vent to escape into the slush, along with twenty duros—100 pesetas. What a coat!

#DVParty Day 3: First line

The roar of the ocean welcomes me back, familiar and haunting, the sound of a past I can't forget. 🌊🖤

#DVParty day 3! The opening lines of TO BURN WITH YOU #A #CF

As the cloying haze of sandalwood incense filled his lungs, Alex leaned back in his chair and slid a grief shard across the table. “This has to be worth at least three-hundred bucks.”

#DVparty Day 3

Here's the first line of my YA Dystopia about a girl who wants to escape her oppressive walled city and the blinded, amnesiac demon slayer in her way:

Background image: close-up of soil/ground
Top text: The first line
Image: waning crescent moon and silhouette of thin branches
First line of novel: "To survive the last hour till sunrise, Sira recites a litany of silent, banned prayers as she eyes the fifty-foot Wall through the dark trees."
Bottom right: YA Dystopia by Marufa Hoque

Tara isn't subtle...especially where her team is concerned. Meet Me at the Crease opens with exactly that: "When my angry Kali avatar comes out, people literally scatter out of my way."

Context: Kali is a Hindu goddess often represented with a fierce appearance.

Opening lines for my YA paranormal mystery featuring the least effective crew of ghost detectives on God's green earth 🏈

#DVparty

In front of a blurred picture of five football linemen all dropped into three-point stances, there is a box of text that reads "The screams in the donut shop bathroom finally stop, and the door creaks open. I put my phone down to watch my older sister Jessie slowly walk out. Judging from the fact that her baby is currently wrapped in paper towels, it doesn't seem like the diaper change went well."

Silver in Her Veins: Opening Lines

🏹 Viola: Death streaks toward me, arrowhead gleaming, fletching ready to soak up my blood. The sharp tip sears my cheek. A bright burst of pain blooms in its wake.

⚔️ Vašek: There is nothing better than the sweet song of a blade cutting through the air.

#DVParty Day 3... My first line for the dystopian cyberpunk piece I'm sending out into the world!

#DIS #LGBT #ND #A #SF

Red swirling background with orange and white text reading: First Line. I want out. The statement dies on my lips before I have a breath to say it out loud as I crouch in the shadow of an enormous concrete fence. To Kill a King. AJ Super.

"The glass and steel skyscrapers had been on fire for as long as anyone could remember, and Amber St. Clair trudged through drifts of ash that were knee-high in some places."

The opening line for BLUE ZONE, my climate-change speculative fiction novel. #DVParty

Long shot of a car, broken down along a rural road somewhere out West. The landscape is sere, with a mountain range towering in the background. The car is on its last legs. Steam is billowing from under the hood.

(Mine is a graphic novel, so this is the first description.)

Y'all liked the ocean imagery from our moodboards so here's the first line with another image that was in the running for them. @noah-oliver.bsky.social #DVParty

A black and white photo of an ice crust over water with the first line from Rapture of the Deep over it in white text with a black outline. There's also a photo credit--Image via Victor Oonk on Unsplash.

The first line reads as follows: The cold burns my skin and the inside of my suit sticks to me as the darkness presses in from all sides, the nylon and rubber squeezing me painfully. Compressing me into a black hole as I dive deeper toward the sun, glowing and burning and drawing me in with its inexorable gravitational pull.

#DVParty #DVPit Day 3: Opening Lines. Swanfire opens with Kherris and Marchus riding in search of the Queen of the Vyr.

A row of standing stones in a green field at sunset. The sky fades from blue to orange on the left, and the stones cast long shadows across the grass. A text box reads: “A row of standing stones, older than memory, loomed on the horizon as Kherris and Marchus rode toward them.” — Swanfire

#DVParty #DVPit Day 3: Opening Lines. The Leading Man opens with Dana indulging in her celebrity obsession...

An unmade bed with rumpled white sheets and pillows, a dark wood headboard, and matching bedside tables. A white text box over the bed reads: “I had to wait for my boyfriend to go to sleep before my sex life could really get going.” — The Leading Man
