The world of "Of Innocence and Empathy" - Series notes

These are just my personal notes on the Of Innocence and Empathy universe, in case I'm not working from my laptop. You may find them interesting, and maybe enlightening. I will likely be returning and updating and/or adding to the information here. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

The OIaE universe operates on the grounded assumption that episodes don't occur back-to-back. We know that months sometimes pass between particular episodes, particularly post-Fisher King, and post-Revelations. We never did (at least, not to my recollection) find out how Gideon injured his foot/leg in the first season, nor was there any mention of it beyond the one episode. [Edit: Gideon was injured in a skydiving incident.]

Morgan and Reid become lovers about a month after Profiler, Profiled, assuming 2-3 months between Profiler, Profiled and No Way Out. The BAU team is aware of their relationship; it is kept in-house. Outside law enforcement, civilians, etc. are not aware of the relationship.

Morgan's mother and sisters know.

I'm as-of-yet undecided whether or not Reid's mother knows.

The cut-off point, show-wise, is the Season 2 finale The Evolution of Frank (otherwise known as No Way Out part II). Nothing in Season 3 or beyond happened in OI&E (Haley didn't turn into a shrew and leave Hotch, Gideon didn't leave the team, Rossi doesn't join the team, etc.).

Original characters to the series are:
The taxi driver (unnamed) - shows up in Knowledge and Innocence
The truck driver (unnamed) - shows up in The Impact of Innocence
Charlie Dunham (Morgan's godson) - first appears in The Impact of Innocence
Tracy Dunham (Charlie's mother) - first appears (unnamed) in The Impact of Innocence; named in Uncertain Empathy
Mark Dunham (Charlie's father) - mentioned in World Wise
Professor Hardiman (one of Reid's college professors) - mentioned in Empathic Epiphany
Stephen (Morgan's friend and may-have-been love interest pre-Carl) - mentioned in Love in the World
Sebastian Merrick - Erin Strauss' replacement post-Earnest Truth
Debra (friend of Haley's) - first appears in A Limit to Generosity

Roomkey protocol, solo rooms:
Each member of the team gets two keys; Hotch gets the third in case of emergency. Gideon gets the third key to Hotch's room.

Roomkey protocol, shared rooms:
Each member of the team gets one key, two people per room (except when Garcia is on-site - then she gets her own room and two keys). Hotch gets the third key and rooms with Gideon; Morgan gets the third key to Hotch's room.

Innocent Blood has been renamed And the World Cried Out; it was written before the OIaE titling format was established.

I figured out what was causing the white space. Unfortunately, it was LJ being an idiot.:( Note to self: Remove all the spaces and carriage returns in the table.

Gideon hurt his foot skydiving - he says, rather wryly, "Apparently it's all in the landing."

Thanks!

I think I only watched that episode once, in the 3-day marathon I watched the entire first season (after buying the DVDs).

Oh, but that one is one of my favourites! =D Gideon driving Garcia crazy is too awesome not to love. XD
Hee, I didn't realize you had all the chapters planned out like that. That's way better than I would ever manage to do. =D

This is very interesting. I always like getting insight into other people's writing process. It makes the end product even more involving, I think. :)

*gapes in amazement*

I... am flabbergasted. I'm both excited and afraid of beginning to read this. It's a behemoth! And it's going to completely consume my life for, looks like, at least a week. :) Yay! If I read the pieces present, will it feel like a whole story, with "missing scenes" added later, or will I need to be prepared for gaps in the plot?

[identity profile] thefrogg.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Each chapter is a story in and of itself, and fit either between or sometimes (very rarely) in episodes in Season 2. (Season 3 on never happened in this universe.) However, there are clusters that should really be read together in order to make more sense, which are more obvious on the timeline/table of contents page. And this one is woefully out of date (These tables are a real pain to update and I got sick of doing two after a while.).

I will admit that I am not actively writing in this universe anymore, and there are mysteries that were never cleared up. Not saying I'll never go back, but...well. I wrote each chapter so that it *could* stand on its own, hopefully. But they do work better together.

Hee! Wonderful.

Trust me, I know the table pain-- that's how my own fiction index is organized. Is there anywhere I can look to find the stories missing from the index, or is it more just browsing through the LJ?

And I also know about semi-abandoned universes. I have quite a few of them. :)

[identity profile] thefrogg.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
There are several stories missing from this index. They should all be indexed (including the planned ones that never got written) over at the table of contents/timeline post (http://thefrogg.livejournal.com/15811.html).

Also, if you start from the first story, there are next/previous links at the bottom of each. (I'm pretty sure there's one place where it's kind of messed up though.)

Man, the world could run on semi-abandoned universes.

Oh my. I've just come across this after a two week Criminal Minds seasons 1-4 marathon, and now I think I'll be spending the next two weeks on a Of Innocence and Empathy marathon! :D

[identity profile] thefrogg.livejournal.com 2010-03-02 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you enjoy! (Just don't ask where the rest is, or when the missing episodes will be posted. This series is pretty much dead in the water.:()
