Thanks for the tag, @theresthesnitch and @aeridi0nis! <3

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have fewer than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some people to take part.

Sometimes, the English weather could be relied upon to be utterly unreliable. (TPWP, ch21)
“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” (Here You Come Again)
She stumbles in, weighed down by shopping bags and wondering whether it’s too early for a gin and tonic. (In Dreams)
It seemed to be a basic tenet of the law of…luck, or whatever, that it piss down with rain whenever James had to travel. (The First Time, ch2)
It all started innocently enough. (A Winter's Tale)
Outside the window, the rain fell. (as the rain falls)
She woke up, most nights—a sudden jolting, wrenched into consciousness, a gasp at her lips—and looked, instinctively, to her right. (the way you left me)
She turns up when he’s patrolling, ambling down the Charms corridor and trying not to think about how hungry he is. (Space)
The house was quiet—mum and dad at work, Petunia long since gone to her basement flat in Vauxhall—and Lily knew she should be taking advantage of the peace to work on her essay. (FMN, ch10)
The place was heaving, barely even standing room left as clusters of people stood around, drinking and laughing and generally getting in the way. (Head Over Heels)
She woke slowly, hardly unusual for her: throughout her childhood and adolescence, getting her up and out of bed in any decent amount of time had always been, in her mother’s words, “a daily battle with no winners, only losers”. (Something Good)
“You are so melodramatic.” (Not in a Million Years)
Their first time had been gentle, almost peaceful, a delicious waltz in amongst his tangled bed sheets. (Quidditch Injuries)
She’s tried not to spend the whole evening just watching him. (Drawn)
At breakfast, James had set out the plan to the other Marauders: get away from Hogwarts for the Easter break, spend a week at his parents’ cottage in Wales, study for their NEWTs during the day and fling themselves around the beach drinking firewhiskey at night. (Uninvited)
They’ve barely closed the front door before she’s tugging off his coat—damp with rain even from the short distance between the apparition point and the entrance to their building—and pulling at his lapels to draw him in for a kiss. (Expectant)
She isn’t sure when it changed. (If At First You Don't Succeed)
It’s actually quite a sunny day, which makes it even more frustrating that he’s spending it here, in the most boring woodlands known to mankind. (If You Go Down to the Woods Today)
There’s a dull wash of light over the room as he pries his eyes open, the February sun struggling to break through, and certainly bringing no warmth. (Until Next Time)
Your grandma always used to say that death is just another beginning, she says, watching the milk spread like a cloud across her tea. (Not Waving But Drowning)

Patterns: there are some really egregiously long sentences in here, haha. Also keeping up the noble preoccupation that we Brits have with the weather. Only two of them are not jily, ha (19 and 20, both Remus <3).

My favourite I think has to be number 20. Maybe more so with the bit that comes after it (Like the soil preparing for new daffodils every spring. His father catches his eye across the table, and there's a twinkle in his gaze that warms him through, precious for how rare it is. Yes, dear, he says, but she also said that nargles were living in her u-bend, didn't she?)

Tagging @theesteemedladydebourgh @mppmaraudergirl @thequibblah @emeralddoeadeer @maraudersftw @blitheringmcgonagall if you want to do it!
