Why this must be read:
Okay, I promise no more Boomer stories after this. Spamdilemma picks the words she uses very deliberately, and consequently, every line in her fic matters, helping to drive the story she is telling. The Sharon she wrote here is totally different than what I had originally imagined, and yet Spamdilemma builds such a convincing backstory that the character is utterly believable and utterly in keeping with the show's canon. Her use of symetry and repetition also helps to tie the story together.
"When Sharon was Sharon she never returned home.
Her childhood spent on Troy was a mixture of patchwork memories and long spans of time that fell blank in her mind. Too many details were either blurred or she was completely unable to recall. It frustrated Sharon, not able to remember further back than that first day wandering up the temple stairs. She had a small pack with her and the clothes she wore were ill-fitting; a flour sack, she would later realize, was what she was wearing. But at the time, it seemed a shapeless dress that caught her around her knees and itched at the seams."
