Author's Notes: This was inspired by the post shown in the ending notes, from Archaeology & Art on Twitter, which![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
romanajo123 sent to me a couple of days ago. As she said, "there's so many possibilities here", which of course, is exactly the kind of thing I like to write, so how could I resist?
I mean, as Paul Cornell said in response to the question, "Where do you get your ideas?"
The answer is that everyone has ideas. The difference is that writers write them down and work on them.
I got a few ideas from the image, and another few ideas from my husband (who loves to come up with ideas), and this is the one I selected and worked on. Two days later (one day writing, one day rewriting), and here it is. And the most fun I've had writing in a while, because this wasn't induced by my monthly posting deadline (though it still counts for that). \o/
