DA, but

I like that line and feel it can work very well in a fic because depending on which act you lay the emphasize on in your scene (which really should always be shaken up a little) other things can fade to the background.

Hmmm, compared it to getting undressed for example. Sometimes a fic is structured in a way that the undressing part is really a big part of the focus. You know in the case of strip-tease fics, or really slow foreplay stuff etc. In that case, I expect getting undressed to have a lot of attention and detail. Sell it to me. Describe the sensation of shirts sliding off, how buttons are being undone teasingly, how someone is getting their jeans unzipped over their erection. Cause it is one of the pillars on which you are building this fic.

But say, another time you are writing a fic that maybe focuses more on characters performing a certain kink or position or using a new toy or what not. Meaning that you are making that the pillar in your fic. In a fic like that, I wouldn't expect undressing to get more attention than 'He quickly stripped on his way to the bed, practically vibrating with excitement as he pulled out the new 15 inch bad dragon toy he had been waiting to surprise his partner with.'

Condom use is the same way to me. If that condom or the pairing using a condom is a bigger part of the narrative, then a line like in the first example works better maybe. But if condom use is just an established part of the dynamic but not something that is focus of the fic, then a line like the second one works better. Fiction is all about balancing stuff out.
