Heaven in Hard Times

I was horribly sick last night and ended up in the emergency room from 2 am until 4; I'm fine now, although I won't know what's actually wrong until I go see my doctor next week. It was bad stomach pain - like, couldn't move without five minutes of psyching myself up bad - and the er doc's guess is an ulcer or something with my gall bladder. Because that wasn't awesome enough, after I skipped work to sleep all day, I woke up with a killer migraine that won't die. PLUS PLUS the reason I'm not seeing The Academy Is... tonight is I didn't want to miss work (it's a 4 hour drive)...but I missed work anyway. SO TODAY KIND OF ROCKED, and as is the custom with days that rock, I'm posting a meme (and, uh, I am not ignoring the songfic meme prompts, I've just had 800 other fics demanding to be written).

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you 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.
