Meme: DVD Commentary  
[livejournal.com profile] elrhiarhodan got this one started today, and I love to play this meme so much. Ask me about any fic in any fandom that I've written, and I will happily divulge details.

Here's how it works:

Pick a passage from my stories, up to 500 words, from anything I've written in my LJ masterlist and on AO3 (my AO3 masterlist has my Teen Wolf fic in addition to all the WC and WCRPS goodies), and comment to this post with that selection (including a link to the story being excerpted). 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 story, awful puns [perhaps], and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

If you would like to ask about multiple stories, that's awesome. Please post the passages in separate comments so that I can respond coherently about each one. :)

Note: My LJ masterlist was updated recently, and the only things missing are the recent Fic Alphabet Challenge ficlets, which are also available for use in this meme.

Adore the stand by me verse. How did the idea come about?

It all started with this little meme I did asking for AU prompts. Elr prompted me with Neal, Peter and Mozzie go camping. I could not make it work with the adult versions of the characters, so I made them teenagers.

With the age change came a lot of questions about parents, and I looked at what we knew in canon. Mozzie was an orphan, Peter seemed to have a good childhood and relationship with his parents, and Neal had a crazy mess of WitSec and whatnot. So, I decided they should all be in a foster home run by June and Byron (because June would be a fantastic foster mother), and I gave them similar family backgrounds – Mozzie was still an orphan, Peter's parents had died and left him without any other family, and Neal's mother was alive but not able to care for him.

I wanted to also include Diana and Sara, so they became other foster children in the Ellington home. Then, Elizabeth had to be Peter's girlfriend, so I wrote a little ficlet about them. Eventually, I want to introduce Kate as Elizabeth's younger sister, who will date Neal.

The 'verse has been really fun because the characters are actually pretty well-suited to being teenagers – it's like taking their adult personalities and adding a bit of playfulness and some questionable decision-making skills. (Well, that's Neal's basic personality – LOL)

It's been a lot of fun to write. I'm a little torn about where to go with it now. I have an idea that I would love to write, but it's very dark and emotional. I'm not sure how far I can take these characters before they break, and I don't want to break them. They're already pretty damaged. *hugs them close*

Thank you so much for asking! I love the 'verse and the characters. It's one of my favorite things I've written.
