[Meme] first lines of imaginary sequels

[edenfalling]

Found via askerian:

Pick one of my stories and I will tell you the first line (ETA: okay, the first few paragraphs, on the theory that context is more interesting than concision) of its sequel. Even if I was never actually planning to write a sequel. Even if it already has a sequel -- I'll give you the first line of another version of its sequel!

Do not ask me about "Strange Likenesses," because I don't yet know how that will end (basically, there is the wildly unlikely happy ending, several variants of the rather likely inconclusive ending, and the semi-likely 'rocks fall, everyone dies' ending). Everything else is fair game.

Sequel snippets written so far:

for The Way of the Apartment Manager (So how did Naruto wind up friends with Sakura by the start of "Guardian"? I will probably continue this at some point.)

for Lemonade (Thus proving that I do so know where the story's going.)

for Endurance (This one turned into an actual fic, 900 words long. *headdesk* I am not sure how 'canon' this sequel is, though, as I'd left "Endurance" inconclusive for a reason.)

for New Horizons (ie, the story in which Ginny, Harry, and Draco have a post-DH-epilogue threesome in Greece. Naturally there are repercussions. *grin*)

for The Two Secretive Princesses (925 words on Toph and Mai during Ozai's invasion of Toure-on-Marsh. Rather dark.)
---[[or the more canonical version, which includes fewer deaths and more mentions of Aunt Ermintrude]]

Even if it's not a regular thing, this snippet above looks very good. I used to write BtVS a long, LONG time ago but not anymore... the last four seasons were uninspiring to me.

Faith and Sasuke... I could see them sharing things in common. (I also stopped watching Naruto though currently, I'm still keeping up with the manga.) I may have to check out some of your other stories (other than Narnia, I mean) when I have more time on my hands.

And howdy from downstate, neighbor! (I'm from NYC.)

"Lemonade" actually started because I did a crack pairings meme where one of the questions was whether Sasuke/Faith or Sasuke/Duo would work better. And I hemmed and hawed and ended up proclaiming (mostly as a joke) that they should have a threesome. And then a plotbunny attacked. *wry* This is why jokes are dangerous.

Ah, you're from the city? Which borough?
