1. That's exactly what Card and I were thinking. Whatever happens in the old one (assuming it even starts again), we'll ignore the ending of that. I think you, me, and Card'll be enough to do that one and stay timely.

2. That's a novel idea, but it needs some more elaboration and there's a few holes. The first being that Stella isn't supposed to have any sort of knowledge that Fritz is doing this in the first place. When she flips on the news, she should be hearing something about a gang attack on one place or a terrorist attack on another. Though I can see her getting suspiscious at how Fritz seems to be working much harder than usual and how he always looks like he's feeling guilty or uneasy when the news is on. The second is how would the Realm know it's Fritz or even Flagg to start with? For what it's worth, there's another agent involved in the CS plan. Also, I thought we agreed that our factions had a non-agression pact due to blackmail on both sides. The third hole is that if anything, it's more likely to be Stella who lets her hate of the Order get to her head rather than Fritz.

3. So, the meeting scene will look more like: Laelia's snacking on a dark chocolate mint bar somewhere, maybe when they "first" meet for the job. Fritz's eyes light up and his face reads: "I see what's going on here." Before it's back to business/playing dumb, he pretends to wipe something off his lip when he's actually making a subtle zip-it motion.

Truth be told, I may actually go with just that one plan of Stella suspecting a correlation between news reports and Fritz's behavior so I can shrink that bit into a single fic.

4. Excellent. Maybe this would also be a good time to figure out how many more stories we're going to write between now and the end.
