This is a repost, since I originally posted this ficlet as a

Susan, Lucy, and Chiaroscuro (gen, please).
Note: This ficlet happened because I am not a good enough artist to paint the relevant picture. But while a picture may be worth a thousand words when it comes to showing the details of a scene and invoking an emotional response, words can also do a lot that a single image can't. And given that I literally woke up from a dream with the opening line and the description of Lucy's smile in my head, well... I can recognize a sign when it's shoved in my face. *wry* (800 words, 10/29/18)
