Taking the Long Way is a new fic series completely unrelated to Rediscovered Hearts. It begins in the week following the events of Morpheus and ends with a kiss. It was intended to remain cannon, but accidentally went AU following Memento Mori. Twist and Lick and More were not included as part of the series for anyone who read them on my personal journal, because I had intended to keep them as cannon one-shots. However, for simplicity's sake, I'm just re-ordering the series a little from my original post since they were the preludes to this series.

Note to readers. I actually did have a logical reason why I thought having them go to the beach would work. I know there's no ocean in Colorado. However, my thought was this:

We don't necessarily know that Sol's was still in Colorado. We don't know how far away the Trust took Vala, and there were five locations...therefore, I thought it would be feasible that if they'd started out very early Saturday morning to get there, Sol's could've been somewhere closer to the Pacific, which would have enabled them to get to the beach before the end of the weekend. I'm on the East Coast, and geography has never been my forte, so if that doesn't work for you, the series did go AU in the end, so who knows? Maybe in my universe, Colorado is a an island. Or something. We do want to see Danny and Vala sleep on the beach, don't we folks?

I have decided to scrub the planned sequel to Taking the Long Way. This sequel was meant to be a collaborative effort between myself and another fan, but I have gone as far as I feel comfortable with it alone. We had planned to take the team to Disneyland, but I just don't have enough knowledge of the park to pull it off myself. I'd really like to do some more with this AU, so since my collaborator's time online has been curtailed by more important things in real life, I'm going to take the fic in another direction. I still plan to do a sequel someday, but I can't say when since my priorities have changed a lot in recent years.
