update

A new AGl chapter is up.

Two more, I think. Plus an epilogue. (Which is actually part of the story, not a separate piece as my Confessional epilogues were.)

I really cannot believe I am almost to the end of this.

I am still not convinced that we could realistically make it into a romance, though.

Do you want to start aiming at that AU after Vegnagun adventure with Nooj and Paine instead? We really should reconcile them - yes, I know you did it in an Epilogue - but they still have a lot of baggage to sort out. And we have time to turn over a lot of rocks before either of us is done with our current commitment. I am enjoying the contact with your thoughts again. ;-)

Hmm, a post-Vegnagun adventure would mean bringing Auron back from Farplane. Which can be done, of course, and we wouldn't even need to make it AU since that's after canon is finished. So that's a possibility. I had been thinking more about going completely AU and having them meet up at Operation Mi'ihen. Either before the cave, or perhaps the Crimson crew could run into Yuna's party as they are escaping the cave. Of course, the latter situation has the added complication that Nooj is possessed by Shuyin at the time -- I don't know whether that's a challenge you'd want to tackle in this context. If we set it *before* the cave and take it AU at that point, no reconciliation would be necessary, since Nooj doesn't get possessed by Shuyin and so never shoots Paine and the others. All kinds of directions this could go here....

And we have time to turn over a lot of rocks before either of us is done with our current commitment.

True, although I was seized by the muse last night and stayed up until 2 AM writing, and I got all of the next chapter and a chunk of the following one drafted. And the shape of the story is now clear: that will be it. These two chapters are all that remain. So depending on how the editing goes I could be very close to finished with this. Wow!

Wow indeed. I still have a bit to go. If you are moved to do so, you might rough out some plot possibilities. Since I drove the plot in Confessional, I am inclined to cede the honour and the work to you this time. We have proved we can tolerate one another in the area of adapting so there should be no friction. And, please, no Shuyin possession, not right now. Another thought, the two might meet on the Farplane; no one has any idea what goes on there. It may be a sort of Valhalla for Warriors. I played with that in "After" and had much fun. So many ideas ... Aren't we so very lucky? ;)
