you with all your moves

Gotten from gloss: If you were asked to pick one scene, one line, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the stories I've written and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

I'm currently battling the outline for my Yuletide story and am apparently in need of some positive reinforcement.

(As an aside, it is SO HARD not to talk about my Yuletide story here, y'all. It's either going to be phenomenally evident that I wrote it or nobody will be able to guess because it's so crappy, but either way count on some massive TL;DR about the process once authors are revealed.)

For me, it's this passage in AiS:

Cassie leads Mia around in tiny circles to the music. They're doing their best to make it a parody, to mimic every cheesy teenage prom cliche from every cheesy movie, but genuine sentiment creeps around the edges. There's nothing fake about the way that Mia tucks her head into the crook of Cassie's shoulder, or the way that Cassie looks down at Mia with the softest expression Jaime has ever seen on her face.

It really, really struck home with me. Something about the way you wrote Cassie/Mia in that fic is unbelievably gorgeous.

Thank you so much. I wish I'd put thousands and thousands of more words of Cassie/Mia in there. I think that I modeled them slightly after my girlfriend and I? Which makes the romanticism in that passage slightly cheesy, I suppose. :)
