Tuesday: First line

Hello, everyone. I’m [livejournal.com profile] swirlsofblue and today's theme is First line. Prompts must be the first line of the fills.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Xmen, Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, The apocalypse started on a Tuesday
+ Supernatural, Sam Winchester + Dean Winchester, "He started it."
+ Lucifer, Any/Any, The light fell over them, ethereal and incandescent.

We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2017 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Any, any, why did this happen to me?

Fill, Original

*A really bad pantoum that honestly doesn’t make sense, sorry.*


Why did this happen to me?
The truth is time isn’t always kind
Nor often is it gentle to us
We always say next time until no time remains

The truth is time isn’t always kind
Our regret bucket tends to fill up the fastest
We always say next time until no time remains
Then the day comes and you know no more will follow

Our regret bucket tends to fill up the fastest
When should have said yes and took those risks
Then the day comes and you know no more will follow
The flood of memories overcomes

When should have said yes and took those risks
But in the end we lived life despite it all
The flood of memories overcomes
Just try not to leave this world wondering

But in the end we lived life despite it all
Nor often is it gentle to us
Just try not to leave this Earth wondering
Why did this happen to me?
