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

Preliminary matters: I knew you were going to pick something from MMB, and I knew someone was going to pick porn/pre-porn, and ta-da! Here it is. Truth is, it takes me stinking forever to write actual porn, but I love writing all the preliminaries. Like this.

"In the closet," he said, pointing, and oh, if he'd known Leonard's ass looked like that when walking nude he would have kicked him out of bed on a pointless errand a long time ago.

"Nothing," Chris said, grinning. "You want to

What are you saying, that I'm predictable? ;-)

As he worked his way down, Chris groaned again at the feeling of Leonard's mouth on his collarbone. Leonard's fingers carded through Chris's chest hair, and scratched lightly.

"Oh, god," Chris said, and twisted, trying to get more skin against skin. Unfortunately, he twisted just wrong, and something in his hip scraped against something else, setting off his already-overloaded nervous system. He stiffened, not in the good way, which made it worse, and inhaled sharply.

Leonard looked up immediately. "What's wrong?"

"Fucking-nervous system," Chris said, gritting his teeth and trying to ride out the moment. Sometimes it would go away after a few moments; sometimes it would feed back into a loop and he'd be miserable until he got more drugs in him. "Just-a moment-"

Um, so I was in a car accident a number of years ago and occasionally stuff gets out of whack. My sciatic nerve gets pinched, which makes the muscles tense, which means they clamp down on the nerves, which means the nerve gets pinched more, which means . . . you get it. It
