Via caia_comica. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble or ficlet with the same first line (from any of the above) and leave it in my comments here.

Robert Reynolds has never had to crawl into a bottle to find a demon. But sometimes it helps. (Mass Hypnosis)

The first time it happened he tried to blame it on something: the heat of the moment, he was feeling vulnerable, a stress reaction, they were both so lonely. (After the Affair)

Elijah Bradley had never been a Boy Scout, but he knew about being prepared. (Worst Case Scenario)

The bar was too dark, too stuffy, and too loud. (Dark Horse Bet)

Robbie finds the letters in the oddest places. (Love Letters)

They meet on the rooftops, in one of those seedy back-alleys that one can always find if one turns the right (wrong) corner in New York City. (Collision Course)

It was a normal morning in the Folding Castle, a warm morning that promised to be muggy, and most of the Thunderbolts were downstairs in the kitchen for breakfast. (Thunderbolts: The Reality TV Show)

Tony Stark is only human. (Only Human)

It was the fifth Sunday in February, and the clocks were striking thirteen. (Nonsuch World)

Well, he's so amazingly *sane* and unneurotic. Which is more than you can say for most other superheroes. And infallibly decent and kind, and y'know, hot with the perfect body. And he even has (in the hands of his better writers) a very dry sense of humor.

This was lovely!
