20 First Lines

Another one stolen from unfolded73. I've always wanted to do one of these, to see if there's a pattern in my fics (It turns out: not really), and I'm putting off going to bed. The first lines of the 20 most recent fics I've posted, in reverse chronological order:

1. The TARDIS had crash-landed, and the Doctor was glancing around the tunnel they were in, taking stock, when there was a sudden commotion, startling all of them. (The Doctor's Daughters)
2. “Chicken pox?” echoed the Doctor. (Human Illnesses)
3. He should get her flowers. (Romantic Instincts)
4. Fortuna Tyler was bored. (The Egg of the Hsip, the Holy Bird of Dinglehopper)
5. In the first flush of the realization that the TARDIS had linked her and the Doctor, would keep them together through an indefinitely long period of time, Rose was giddy. (Improvise)
6. Rose, finally emerging from the bathroom, freshly coiffed and dressed to the nines, nonetheless paused to take fresh stock of herself in the mirror. (New New Year)
7. There had been a time when his TARDIS had always been this quiet. (Evasive Maneuvers)
8. The thing was that it shouldn’t have hurt her as much as it did. (A Cross Between a Fish and a Chair)
9. “I think,” said Rose, “we should have dinner with Athena’s boyfriend.” (Meeting the Family)
10. Some bars, thought Chuck Bass, were better than others. (Words Out Loud)
11. Rose’s mobile was ringing. (Pleasure Cruise)
12. “Tell me about one,” said Kate, and Brem looked over at her in surprise. (Home)
13. Rose Tyler fell asleep in the warmth of a sun in an unblemished sky but woke to an increasing overcast and a faint greenness to the air that had her sitting up in alarm. (Storm)
14. They stood and watched the TARDIS de-materialized, with its rush of wind and its distinctive noise. (Pete's World Redux)
15. The Doctor had traveled with many companions over the years. (Flirting)
16. The lifespan of Barcelonan dogs was not something the Doctor was an expert in--he was far more worried about the lifespan of certain other beings in the universe--and so he wasn't sure whether the age of eight was a particularly short life for a Barcelonan dog or just an average one or maybe even an amazingly long one. (The Death of Madrid)
17. There were days when Brem just stood and stared up at Canary Wharf. (A Canary Wharf Anniversary)
18. What did you do the day after you kissed Rose Tyler? (The Day After You Kiss Rose Tyler)
19. "What day is it?" asked Rose, abruptly, from where she stood by the open refrigerator door. (Things Continue to Progress)
20. They often traveled now with the TARDIS on random, content to drift from adventure to adventure aimlessly. (Getting to Fly)

Wait... how did I miss "New New Year," "Words Out Loud," and "Storm?" (And possibly "Pete's World Redux?")

ETA - I see the first three aren't listed on the Chaosverse page. Are they elsewhere?

You weren't paying attention, clearly! ;-)

Yes, those three aren't in the Chaosverse, which is why they're not in the chronology. You can find them here: http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/tag/fic
