Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble or ficlet with the same first line (from any of the ones under the cut) and leave it in my comments here.
Tim knew he had spent too much time brooding in the open when Impulse blurred to life in front of him with a very concentrated, very concerned frown on his face instead of the usual bright smile. Impact
“What do you think?” Legacy
The first time wasn’t as hard as Terry expected it to be. Bruised Ego
“You should come back to Central City with me.” Titans South?
She stared around at the endless blank space. Once and Forever
It had been five years since the end of the war, and Harry found himself yet again standing on the field where the final battle took place. Life Equates Change
At the beginning of the evening Tim told himself he would just ignore Bernard’s presence. Difficult to Ignore
Her and Jason fight a lot, which goes against everything Steph’s heard about heaven being peaceful. Disturbing the Peace
It had been three days since that thing had been left on his doorstep, and Vernon Dursley was sick of it. Pierce the Sky
It was just a couple months after his third birthday that Harry’s mama told him he had to start going to school. That's Awesome!
There were some traditions Tim knew before he put the Robin suit on that he knew well enough to take the time to plan around falling into them. The Sake of Tradition
The first time she jumped off a building Steph is pretty sure she was freaked out of her mind, but she can’t really remember because it feels so silly now. Alive
Tim rolled his peas along his plate with the prongs of his fork. Retracing Roots
Bruce has done a lot for him in the months he’s been living in the manor. There are Shadows
It’s obvious that Jason is missing something. Calculating Worth
It scares the shit out of him the first night he wakes up screaming. It's.
The next morning is mostly normal, which Jason thinks should be a motto for his life in general. Stand Up, Brush Off
It’s only halfway through her patrol when she spots Batgirl, but that only makes her hesitate a moment before locking her arms around the grapple and twisting so she falls on the right rooftop. And Something Within
The first thing that registers in his mind is how much he doesn’t blame Lois. Three's a Crowd
Her fingers trailed through his hair, knitting and twisting the thick strands between them before sliding down to the nape of his neck. Staying In
He doesn’t get to fly solo nearly as much as he wants to, and that’s based on Bruce’s rules more than his own competence. Shine Against the Darkness
He has never liked the emotional intensity guns represent in his family. Better to Worse
He made a conscious choice to reveal himself to Jason at the party. Layman's Theory
It was all rather amazing. Moment
It had been months since Bruce started training him as his partner in crime-fighting, and there were days when Dick really wished all of that would be over so he could finally look at Batman instead of just looking up to him. Sundaes
He arrived home precisely forty minutes after school let out, and went directly to his room. Sparks
It had been a year since the war ended. Last Words
"Do you ever get tired of this floating thing?" That Floating Thing
He was standing in front of the mirror, in costume sans the cowl, just staring at himself. A Flash
It takes him a second to realize why everything feels off when he reaches the cave. Brevity
“Bart…” Hang On
“Um… Bart?” Just Because
He hadn’t been that surprised to find out there was a new chick running around in Barbara’s costume, after all, he had been replaced so why shouldn’t she? Something Like Family
He awoke screaming his fifth night at the manor, biting into his thumb to muffle the noise. This Alone
He was supposed to be covering the who's who of Metropolis' latest society bash. Cast Offs
He should stop spending so much time in his room. Chocolate
It’s hard not to stare flying over Gotham with Babs at his side. Kid Stuff
It was apparent to him even before he took on the role of Robin that Dick played a key role in the way their ‘family’ socialized at any point in time. Leisurely we glide
He comes back to consciousness the first time in complete darkness and silence. Lost and Found
Bruce never tells him, but Jason knows there was a second there -- after the numbers hit zero and before Bruce found him -- where he was dead. Touch the flame
That's more than I expected but -- yeah, wow.
