These are my working notes (brainstorming) for the Monolith AU. They May contain spoilers.
If you have chosen to take a look-see at these please keep in mind that many of the time frames for the Monolith AU should be treated as approximate because they have been rounded. Most all dates in the story are rounded: A. because I'm assuming beings that live this long with time spans this great probably speak in general terms the greater the time span being discussed and B. calculating the overlapping time of existance math for each gestalt has given me slag as it is - so rounding everything when dating stuff in the story proved the much easier route to take. And though I'm pretty sure I finally got the math straight, I'm also pretty sure someone out there could and or would find and error. And as already mentioned, the math for more specific dates has already given me slag.
