I'm halfway through the redo and think I may chuck the rest of it. Léon's angry with how Gabrielle treated him in their meeting, so he's telling me he wants to watch her turn Franz into her mate.
I can't decide if Gabrielle would accept that requirement...or if she'd refuse. Or if he doesn't bother telling her and just cloaks himself, hangs outside her window, and does the peeping tom route. Which would actually be fun to write. Throw in a curious cop and the snottiness of Gabrielle's retinue...
It would also set up what happens in BA-6, which takes place in New Orleans, post-Katrina. Gabrielle finds her one true mate in Tristan, a damaged lad who plays horn in his father's joint. At one point she's convinced him to join with her...but before she can seal the deal by turning him, they're interrupted. And now he's wary of her.
BA-6 is in screenplay format so already written. BA-5 is story format, plotted out and taking place in the early years of WW2, in Poland with Russians as the bad guys. BA-7 is modern day and filled with danger and betrayals, but only plotted, not written.
So I may need to start from the beginning and rework all of BA-4 to suit that. What I don't like is the amount of work it will take. Well...not so much the work as the time and focus.
Today, I was also dealing with tax prep, and have that 95% set. And no jobs till the second week of April. So we'll see if I can use my time more wisely than usual.
