Labor Day Meme: Stories That Never Were

[browngirl]

From petronelle, who filled this in glorious manner. Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Feel free to try any fandom you have reason to think I know, but if I don't at all know the fandom I'll have to say so.

Remember Matrix Games? That Charlie/Amita fic where they're both totally thinking about Don. I loved how she expected Charlie to be angry and he was, but not the way she thought - what was that line from Charlie's thoughts--It was something like not begrudging her lust for someone he wanted for himself? /fans self/ Anyway.

The way you write Amita makes me jealous. I wish I could do a better job of sounding like a mathematician when I write from her (or Charlie's, for that matter) POV.

I should have done this meme 3 months ago.

The first sentence: They have the same eyes, Amita sometimes thinks, even though it isn't really true.
The last sentence: Charlie just sits silently, stroking Amita's hair, as all the decision trees collapse.
The thing that made me want to write it: It was as close as I could get to writing Amita/Charlie/Don.
The biggest problem I had while writing it/Why it almost never got posted: Oh, my God, the math takes so much research, and I usually can't understand 90% of what I read.
The scene that hit the cutting room floor: The first outline had Don saying yes.
Something else that I want readers to know: I meant to write something much like this for the numb3rs_het Summer Challenge.
