There are so many great sentences that I can't think of any profound ones. But when I stumbled on fan fiction a couple of years ago I couldn't believe myself...I had no idea that such a thing even existed. At first, having come across some stories by accident, I had difficulty staying on my chair I was hooting with laughter that much. But then I read Parabiosis and it all changed...a sample of that lyrical writing has already been quoted so I will take mine from "Black Hole Season" which I read shortly after that. The final line literally made my toes curl - and I knew I was hooked:

"...and I tilt her chin and kiss her briefly and she smiles because the world hasn't ended but
it moves, oh, it moves."

and just to make you feel that you are there with them on the sidewalk outside the nightclub:

"She tips her head back, wryly amused. They stand toe to toe, their hands in their coat pockets, eyeing each other in challenge. Prickly Scully -she gives love a run for its money with her fuck-me clothes and her fuck-you demeanor. Yet at times she makes him feel that he is finally getting something right in his life."

Happy, happy days when there was still all those great stories still to read!
