This is one of the few stories where the title and story leapt fully formed into my head and all I had to do was get it down onto disk. It was an absolute pleasure to write – and a good excuse to go re-watching the early episodes.
Grammar went out the window for this one – Vila does not speak grammatically and I ended up with practically the whole story underlined in lurid green squiggles by the grammar checker. Microsloth Word is not cut out for writing fanfic.
I owe thanks to all the people who did the script transcripts, as they were invaluable for getting the names of the various guards and prisoners on the London the right way round.
