Following Footsteps

I hardly ever follow memes anymore, but this one was interesting. Like my friends, most of what I do is tag-fic (going back and forth with another writer), so I'll grab the ones I can remember as being my start. I do have a few (marked with an *) that are from my 30_Kisses prompt, which is a project I'm trying to do with as little assistance as possible. Ones marked ^ are non tag-fic, written by me alone.

Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics and try to find a pattern.
