[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]]

:D The Harry/Ginny/Draco threesome! I know it's not even close to complete, but where were you planning on ending it?

[edenfalling]

In a threesome, obviously. :-) And with Draco wondering how in Merlin's name he's going to explain this to Scorpius. Speaking of which...

"Mum? Why haven't you and Dad complained about me spending time with Scorpius lately? Not that I mind," Al added hastily, "but, y'know, it's a little odd after all these years."

Ginny set down the Daily Prophet and smiled sweetly at her younger son. Harry promptly stood from his chair and headed for the kitchen in search of alcohol; it was five o'clock somewhere in the world, and he knew all too well where this was going.

"It would be more than a little hypocritical of your dad and me to complain about your association with Scorpius Malfoy when we're currently having a threesome with his father," Ginny said, still smiling with that dangerous sweetness.

Al choked on his toast. Lily dropped her pumpkin juice. James, fortunately, wasn't visiting that morning. But once they had their breath back, his brother and sister more than made up more his absence with the volume of their protests.

In the kitchen, Harry knocked back a shot of Firewhiskey and wondered how long he could hide before Ginny summoned him out to play mediator.

Damn Malfoy anyway. This was entirely his fault.

*CHOKEsplutter* Oh god, GINNY. *massive love* The way she just drops it right there. She's so evil. Also LMAO at Harry immediately going for the booze.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. XD Thank you, you're magic. ♥

*preens* I do try. :-)
