This is a sort of follow on to a story I had commissioned from <a href="https://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconalexwarlorn:" title="alexwarlorn"/></a> <a href="http://fav.me/d3vx2nm">[link]</a> . To cut a long story short whilst I was satisfied overall with the story, the ending had a few problems for me in that there are "permanent" changes in the fic, which wasn't really what I wanted. <br /><br />However, I had my own ideas to fix it, and still keep what Alexwarlorn was intending with the story... But, well...<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://heavyplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/heavyplz.jpg" alt=":iconheavyplz:" title="heavyplz"/></a> <a href="https://saysplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/saysplz.gif" alt=":iconsaysplz:" title="saysplz"/></a> Are you sure this will work?<br /><a href="https://tf2medicplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/f/tf2medicplz.jpg" alt=":icontf2medicplz:" title="TF2Medicplz"/></a> <a href="https://saysplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/saysplz.gif" alt=":iconsaysplz:" title="saysplz"/></a> I have no idea!<br /><br />An alternative title was "The Best of Both Worlds" but I went with the current one instead.<br /><br />There may be some fun to be had in this newly made offshoot dimension in future.<br /><br />Also, about all the theories and explanations? Haruhi knows what those gnomes are on about. They're just a useful plot device <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
