I wanted to do a story about Vila’s past in the domes and liked the idea of working in some larger continuity with the series. Maybe that tape will turn up some time.
Josie and Niall are still wandering round a couple more half-finished stories on my hard drive. I have a habit of getting rather attached to my original characters.
The Blake/Avon interaction at the beginning was added as an afterthought because I enjoy writing it and Avon doesn’t get much of a say in this story.
Even more thanks than usual to Nico on this one, for relieving my fine state of confusion about the formatting of the internal dialogue which make up a large portion of this story.
