ORGANIC TRIGGERS - What in the present evokes the past? - Natural association? - Setting or sensory trigger? 2. PARTIAL REFERENCE - Not explaining everything - Shorthand between characters - Reader piecing together 3. EMOTIONAL WEIGHT - What feeling attaches to reference? - Is it fondness or pain? - How does past color present? 4. GRADUAL REVELATION - How much history is shown when? - Building understanding? - Strategic gaps? 5. AVOIDING INFO-DUMP - Not explaining for reader benefit - Characters do not summarize their past - Trust reader intelligence Write a scene where characters reference their shared history naturally, revealing enough for reader understanding without explicit explanation.
