Ganked from someone, but I forget who...
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.

Date: 2009-11-07 06:04 am (UTC)From the first love of your works <3, The Burning Time, ch 10: Seth
She could see his entire body go rigid at her words. He knew, unconsciously or not, that what she had said was true. It wasn't Robin that the Hunter had gone after that day in the alley---it was himself.
Even so, he already had formulated an answer. "The logical answer is that they Hunt me because I am no longer with them."
"I am certain they do not have so many resources as to chase every Hunter who has gone astray," Robin argued. "There has to be a reason why they believe you are so threatening."
"If I am such a threat, why was I allowed to become a Hunter?" he countered. "Regardless of that---your survival is more important than finding out why they are Hunting me. I told you I would ensure that you survived. Do you not remember?"
Robin could see he was not going to surrender to her argument so easily. She turned back to the ocean. "I do remember," she answered, quietly but firmly. "But I have already made up my mind. If you do not go with me, I will go alone to find the Benedetto contact."
She knew how to get underneath his skin. Stubborn child.
Nevertheless he found himself looking at her, almost curiously. "You're not afraid," he noted, more of an observation than a question.
"I was frightened, before," she admitted, turning her solemn green eyes back to face him. "But I'm not, any longer." She met his eyes, not challenging, but reassuring him.
What Amon saw in the green depths made him more anxious inside than the thought of facing down SOLOMON's Hunters in Siena. You have to tell her.
"Robin," he began again sternly, as he had earlier. "What happened last night...." He saw her eyes changing, shifting in the sunlight, and he strengthened his resolve. "It won't happen again," he stated, his voice firm.
But to his inner amazement, she had seemed to have prepared herself for his words. Even before he had finished speaking, she was shaking her head gently, her eyes downcast.
"Daijoubu," she said, and he was quickly reminded of the darkened kitchen, and her hushed consolation. "Even if it does or does not happen again....it's all right." She looked back up at him and half-smiled then, mysteriously.
Resolve seemed suddenly useless to him, when confronted with the purity of her convictions. Iron in velvet, he thought.
She stood then, brushing the sand from her long skirt, and hooking her boots with her fingers. She extended her free hand towards him, as an invitation to help him up.
"Andiamo," she said with her characteristic softness, and he accepted, taking her hand in his.
She would not tell him, as they walked back to Jana's house, that his response to her in the kitchen---his instinctive answer to her unspoken need to comfort and be comforted---was what had enabled her to gather her courage.
I can have hope, she thought....enough for both of us.
