Thanks for this! Had a concept for a mystery series in my head for months. I even knew the details of book four's cliffhanger ending. But I'm terrible at writing openers and knowing where to start a story that's not horrifically boring. I've got the first 530 words now :)
That's awesome :D

Ah, downtime. The chance to relax, to recharge after an afternoon period of exercises and tests ...
The opportunity to conspire with one's pollux about one's senior ...

Santana leaned against the railing that kept him from toppling into the pollux's massive living bay. More than the rail, he felt Diablo's softly thrumming plates supporting him; an armoured forearm, resting on the ledge.
