Meme, in lieu of anything interesting

[circ_bamboo]

Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

My stuff is either tagged by fandom on LJ (I tagged at the bottom for your convenience) or at AO3. (I think there are 2 or 3 stories on LJ that aren't on AO3, and at least one on AO3 that never made it to LJ.)
