The final summit?

Apparently spending five days working on a totally different version of the characters in a totally different continuity (and planet, and century...) hasn't damaged my inspiration for the original story at all :-)
Finally (after what, four months?) I've successfully reached the scene where the heroine declaims that there are no 'blue remembered hills' (something like 'Peter Pan' and fairies, only in reverse!) and rescues herself and her lover in the process. Theoretically speaking this is the peak of tension towards which the entire plot has been mounting; now all I have to do is to succeed in writing the equally pivotal scenes following in order to achieve the Ghost's Redemption, and work out exactly what I'm going to do about my vague plans for an epilogue. I was thinking of doing a Carla chapter to book-end the first one, but maybe a flashback for Dar to a final conversation after the others have left would be a better nod to canon. (Or, of course, both.)
