Patterns: Well, it seems I either start with a line of dialogue, or it consists of ‘this person felt this while doing this and this.’ Hmmmm. Looking back, I’m not entirely happy with quite a lot of these, where a few I quite like. It’s good to reflect a bit (and read old fic, which is rather...interesting.)
