ML - you might check out one of Beth S's super future fics, if only for the flashback aspect [and they're great, but that's a different issue wink ].

She uses * * * for scene breaks and *** for flashbacks iirc and nearly every part she posts on the boards have at least one flashback. The fics are Honesty and Fidelity and the currently posting, Strength.
