The Ink-Pot and the Palette

By the way, and apropos of very little in this conversation except writing, and fic, and stylistic approaches, I've been very taken with a story I recently encountered called Second Glance (http://ygrawn.livejournal.com/5703.html) by ygrawn.

While I know SPN fic isn't going to resonate much with you, I wanted you to take a look at it and maybe soldier through the first paragraph. Because I am deeply impressed with her impossible style, and now I want to write just like her, and I'd love to get your take on it.
