MEME: first line of first fic of each month

[bronze_ribbons]

Seen at schemingreader's: list the first line of the first fic you posted each month over the past year.

Since I lose at cross-posting, some of these are from the first fic I happened to index for that month, which may or may not correspond to the actual first post... (*glares around cubicle. A good banishment charm would come in handy right around now...*)


December
"When Snape and Lupin go to bed --
Snape in his nightshirt, Lupin in nothing --
there are many things that could be said." - A fluffanelle for arionrhod (Snape/Lupin)

January
"A-choo! A-choo! A-choo! Scheisse!" - The Sound of Mucus, a comment-fic for xanthophyllippa (Snape and Captain von Trapp)

February
"It was perhaps inevitable that Remus Lupin snapped when he did: after years of being too-familiarly addressed as 'Remy' by adoring witches and subsisting on their well-intentioned gifts of chocolate, it was not so very shocking to experienced observers how swiftly he embraced the Dark Lord's promises of unlimited raw meat and thoroughly filtered alcohol." - By A Nose, for _lore and elenalink (Lupin/Voldemort, Lupin/Snape) (Saints and steak-knives, that's a long sentence...)

March
"'The horizon appears free again to us,' Kingsley reported." - Their Man, part 1 (Tonks/Lupin/Snape)

April
"Lupin knit his brows. 'I don’t get it. What good will it do you that baking soda is mutar if you’re to shun gebrachts?'" - birthday drabble for schemingreader (Snape/Lupin)

May
"When the owl from the school arrived, it found him poring over a novel penned by his great-aunt Harriet." - Appropriate Feeling, a placet-drabble for ellid

June
"You’re going to name the kid Severus Vane!?"> - By Any Other Name (another placet-drabble. I think I blame musigneus for this one. Luna/Bill, mainly.)

July
"Watching her ex-boyfriend rinse the remains of Snape’s outfit in her kitchen sink, Tonks was struck anew by the harsh network of lines around his eyes and mouth." - Unpent, for pixychelle (Snape/Lupin)

August
"Hooch’s least favourite part of coaching was forcing herself to merely look at debacles instead of leaping in to make things right." - birthday drabble for xanthophyllippa (McGonagall/Hooch)

September
"« Mon Dieu, » Lupin dit." - Voir La Clé du Noir, for etrangere (Snape/Lupin)

October
"As he shakily set the bowl of stew in front of the werewolf, Remus reflected that there would be no living with the former Potions master once Snape was back in human form." - Adjustment, for karasu_hime and pixychelle (Snape/Lupin)

November
"Of all the secret depravities Snape had imagined Lupin indulging in, bubble bath had never crossed his mind." - Chosen, for severity_softly (Snape/Lupin)
