Yes, almost always. For Sit back, relax, enjoy the show (http://archiveofourown.org/works/482696) it was the image of Pete, fucked out, just collapsing on his knees in front of Patrick and Patrick's control snapping and him coming the second Pete touched him.
For The Dark Ocean Bottom (http://archiveofourown.org/works/311870) it was Ryan playing the piano. Both the image of it, those gorgeous long hands on the keys,but also Brendon's reaction to it, and Ryan's choice of song. That was the scene I wrote first and the rest of the fic was written around it.
Sometimes it's just a line that hits me. For example, the opening line of the fic I'm working on next:
"Trouble walking into my office in a gray suit and too many tattoos"
