...well, the Reader is keeping well out of this. She's getting her happy ending and she's keeping it, alternate timelines aside.

Have a Jacques Bonnefoy, though. He's been around since mid-2013, has some (at least remembered) experience with catastrophes, and can't stay dead outside of Torchwood: Miracle Day. If you can think of something to do with him, then go for it.

You can use any of mine you'd like. The kids would be pretty grown up by then. In spring of 2010 Helen was 9 months, Hannah 11 years, Kevin was 8 and Kyle 9. Safe to assume Cali and Cadmar had broken up years before your setting since I haven't seen Caddie in a long time. Agent Miah would be in her mid-40's by then. Just make it memorable?

I'm actually pretty sure that they would both have died by the point the story takes place in. Min Ra would have probably been killed after leaping in to protect someone else from a Sue (whether or not this was a Leeroy Jenkins move or a last stand and whether or not the person she was protecting died anyway is up to interpretation), and Effie would have been shot down on a mission (death's a hazard for the military).

But hey, if you want to keep one or both of them alive or explore their deaths in flashback, I'm game for it.

Peregrin is probably still generally alive, between Medical having good life-extension tech and [the thing that's spoilers for Anathem], Tomash is working in DoSAT by now (and therefore by Catastrophe Theory), but he'd've been in DMS around 2015.

(Farah and Kk'kttak are relatively new, and therefor unavailable, unless you want them to be.)

Feel free to not take me up on this if my lack of canonical output is a problem.

How far in the future is it set?

In addition to Doc and Vania, you also have access to my entire Nursery cadre. Let me know if you need more info about any of them; I have an Excel spreadsheet.

And also, that thing we discussed over email years ago is still on the table. (If this story even touches on that.)

—doctorlit, discussing that thing we discussed

If you don't mind the fact Richard only joined in December 2015, and Marina January 2016... Whoops, I just told it. :p

Do use all of Shift Twentieth - Finch, Bingle, Ninetwo, Anne, Anne's Cat - if you need them.

I can only request that you make it some form of darkly humorous irony, whatever terrible things you do.

If you're going to do Terrible Things to anyone, do them to the Notary. No-one will give a toss, except to laugh.

They weren't around in 2015. But Time Shenanigans are archetypical of the PPC, so sure, they're totally there.

If you want ideas for what terrible things can happen to them... Nah. Not giving them. I wanna see what you come up with.

Technically speaking, agents Ix, Lorson, and Farilan weren't in the PPC before mid-2015, there's that detail for you—but if for whatever reason you need more characters, feel free to ruin them. I'll probably be sitting quite gleefully to the sidelines with popcorn.
