Show us the chest of your rich memories

Each of us has that one favorite passage. It may be a part with the most vibrant descriptions - almost lifelike. Or, it could be a single sentence that completely turns the whole thing on its head. It might even be as short as a single word and still end as the part we love the most from a fic. So, what is your favorite line/paragraph/whatever?

(The title is not from be, but from the great poet Bauldiere’s poem ‘The Journey’)

Hard to pick a single example, but lately I’ve been fond of “his soul curled around an antique armchair” and “Death is treating them sweeter still than their lot” from hurry home to you: team ny drabbles by bittennails.

Oh, those quotes are indeed beautiful. Too bad I'm fandom-blind and didn't get much of the story, but still is wonderful!

What makes them jump out at me is the slightly odd word choices and order (why curled around rather than curled up in an old armchair?) that nevertheless work.

(I'm not even that into those characters, nor did I get all that much of the story either, but I was touched by the phrasing.)
