I left work early today, crawled home, and slept. Sometimes there's just no other sensible option.

Anyway, after all the positive response to that fragmentary dump of "When Mila Walked the Land" (<3 <3 <3), I uploaded chapters 2 and 3. That 'fic had not been updated since December of 2009, and the master file hadn't been touched since June of 2010. That's a record for time between updates for me, heh.
The project actually dates back even early, to the pre-LJ says when I was bopping around on DevArt talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shimizu_hitomi and almost nobody else. I was only a couple of chapters into playing FE8 when the crossover potential smacked me between the eyes, and Hitomi's translation of the FE2 script cemented my belief that something Needed to be Done with the pretty obvious links between Archanea/Valencia and Magvel. But at the time, I was really averse to the crackiness of a crossover that would, say, feature Marth and Eirika chillin' together and maybe hooking up for something. Didn't like the idea. Thought it would be lamesauce.
[Point and laugh, Raphi. Go ahead.]
So, instead, I dreamed up a generation-gap scenario wherein the playable casts of FE2 and FE3 are twenty years older than we see them in the games, and then Eirika falls through a rabbit hole into Archanea along with bucketloads of dark critters. Of course, she doesn't speak a word of the common language, so the chaos that ensues isn't exactly cute.
The other gimmick was a pair of OCs as the initial POV characters-- Lara (the daughter of Marth and Caeda) and Rudolf (son of Alm and Cellica). These kids are closer in age to Eirika and thus relate to her on a different level than the adults. Original explanation of story here.

Dunno when Chapter Four will go up, because it's more fragmentary than the other unfinished chapters and my schedule sucks right now.
