And here it is...
The Hopefully Almost Definitive Timeline for RP Events

("MONARCH OF THE GLEN" MEETS "BAGENDERS" MEETS "THE GOOD LIFE" MEETS "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" AND IS THEN INTRODUCED TO SG/UK INSANITY CENTRAL. ADD A PINCH OF SALT A FEW LUMPS OF SUGAR AND SHITSTIR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THEN STAND WELL BACK...)

SERIES ONE...
Early November 2003
The Leggy/Hal Affair.

Late January 2004
H and E return to Lainie's for a few days. Hairbrush throwing, fighting and running-away incidents abound. Lainie goes off to BADGER HQ on the 25th and Glory shows up with kitten a few days later.

February
H and E return to the IE for a while, E to get on top of the paperwork and pound a few tennis balls to death. Late February is the London conference - E leaves Feb. 15th to return 22nd, but actually arrives home March 3rd. The London Conference Drama.

Early March
Four-day Frankfurt trip. The Frankfurt Trip Drama

Early April
H and E trot off back to Lainie's for a couple of days. Chaos and fun ensues; eventually, they hit on the North Pole plan and the events in the RP "Naamarie" follow.


...and so ended Series One and we all breathed a sigh of relief.


Mid-April
They return to the IE to get their affairs sorted out. Or whatever the excuse is... ^_~



SERIES TWO...
Late April
H and E leave on a ten-week cruise, returning mid-July. At some point on this cruise, right when they're at the NP itself, ie: fifth week of cruise (is that early June? my maths versus yours baby), H conceives, thanks to the dreaded PMS. (YAY!) Being an elf tho, symptoms don’t *quite* kick in until almost three weeks later, by which time they'll be halfway home to IE. So there is a brief 3-week respite from PMSy syndrome (*E breathes a sigh of relief*) before symptoms of pregnancy kick in and All Hell Breaks Loose.


Early August
Two months into conception, The Diary Incident comes to its head, having been stewing, unbeknownst to E, since sometime in Febuary. And all that jazz.

Early-Mid September
(still in late-flowering rose season, or possibly an Indian summer?) - the events of "Hervenn"

Late Sept/early Oct
BADGER pull H out of the IE surveillance operation and yoik him off to SOMEWHERE (Russia?), making E think he wanted to go. E distraught to the point of going nigh-on mad until something makes hi see sense and in November sometime, he grabs a bag with the essentials in by the handles and Leszek by the collar and dive-bombs off to Wherever that SOMEWHERE (Russia?) is, where...

Mid-November
At That SOMEWHERE - H was/is as distraught as E was, complications develop, E is able to save him (just, and it takes a lot out of E as well) but the child is a goner, H having been too weak to support it properly despite Rumil's support so it hitches and miscarries.
