Help me, Grammar-Wan-Kenobi

This is embarrassing but I figure better now than after the fact. I`m doing a little experiment and writing a fic in present tense so now I`m at a bit of a loss. Writing about past actions when do I use simple past and when do I use the "had done..." version? Anyone? Bueller?

By the way, random...you know what you've done? I read a summary on ihearttvshows like "300 A.D. : the Roman Sebastianus is exiled to a remote outpost populated exclusively by men. Weakened by their desires, these men turn to homosexual activities to satisfy their needs. However, Sebastianus becomes the target of lust for a homosexual centurion, but he rejects the man's advances" and my first thought is, "Sounds like something Astrid would write into J2" ... *headdesk*

Hee. I could do an anthology "J2 throughout the ages", it would even be educational. :D
