Celestial Mechanics (timeline)

A page for Celestial Mechanics' timeline and ideas with ballpark timestamps. 
Please see "Learning to Fly" for pre-2005 dates and ideas. 
==Labels==
If there's no date, the labels are in bold. 
'Idea' refers to a timeskip with room for a potential ficlet which then can then become 'Updated' (see below) or 'Inc', meaning it's been incorporated into another ficlet. 'Ficlet' denotes an idea with a snippet attached ('Idea/Ficlet'), while 'En Route' describes a ficlet someone's poking at. 'Idea/Check' means it a bit of research. 
Entries unneeded on the main timeline receive 'Note' (if they aren't on "Timeline" and don't need to be) or 'Day' (if they are on "Timeline"). 
'Updated' means it's somehow different from the entry on "Timeline", either because of some wording changes, structural differences, or by virtue of existing. 
'Wiki' denotes an entry that exists on "Timeline" in its current form.
'Label(S)' means this entry isn't on the spreadsheet timeline. Remove them as they're copied over. 
==Ideas & Padding==
Ideas for and to fluff out ficlets.
* Please see "2006", "2007", and "2008" 
* Possible timemarks: summers, winter holidays, Valentine's days, New Year's celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries
* Graduations: Dietrich, Karla, Iggy, Rhys, etc 
* Saga of Iggy & Rhys
* Traveling (with Kris before "Edgy", for instance) 
* Lars and Hermann discussing university
** Lars suggesting TU Berlin so his announcement in the new Heartbreaker isn't as out of no where. >note to ALC: tweak it so Lars is just withdrawing him< 
* What's Fenella up to?
* Starcrossed asking after each other's family (Karla, Dietrich & Sabine & babies, Bastien, Fenella, Tor & ... Dona(?), Trinity, Kris, Grandparents)
* Starcrossed grumbling about getting IDs renewed
* Iggy's blog posts 
* The Engelhorns periodically keep in touch with Bastien
* An ANSK!AU wherein Hermann gets picked up by the Torchwood team, as seen here.
* Hermann gives Edan a toy wolf in honour of him being raised by wolves ("Lupe"). As retaliation, Edan dog-sits for a pack of very large puppers; it goes badly, and Hermann runs the risk of a fracture when he comes to the rescue and the dogs fall in love with him. (From "Marvel")
===Saga of Iggy & Rhys===
* Iggy and Rhys' breakup
Idea/Ficlet: Edan visits Hermann (OP)
During one of Edan's visits, "I'm giving them some space to work this out."
"Meaning you're fleeing the warzone."
"It's pretty amicable, actually, but I totally am. There's ... /some tension in the place."
** Iggy insists on being the one to move out (she has family in the city, Edan and Rhys were already friends when she and Rhys started dating) but negotiates a discount on the rent she pays while they search for a new roommate. (OP)
* Finding a new 7th in Poppy's former flatmate (OP)
** A fellow 'she' who just. can't. take. it. anymore.
** A Nice Guy (TM), and he doesn't last a month--he's making the girls uncomfortable and driving the guys up a wall so they give him the boot. Letter-padding!: Edan says "Rhys and I've been sent to campus for flyer-posting", "We're off the hook for this month! Vanessa's brother's renting while his house is getting renovated!!!", etc, but they finally find someone to move in October.
