A/N:
I do have work to show for my last four+ weeks of absence. Unfortunately, it is not the next chapter of ItL. Reading over the previous chapters of ItL, I realized how very unsatisfactory the whole lot of it was. I simply could /not/ continue this fiction knowing that.
So I revised, and added quite a bit to ItL. Hopefully, this fiction as a whole is a lot better for that. Updates are posted below.
###
Chapter Three-
Moderate revisions throughout. Expansion of the Wonderland adventures.
Chapter Four-
This chapter has become the very longest chapter in my story so far, numbering some where in the 7600-word range. I would have split it, but the chapters didn't look quite complete when I did.
Moderate revisions of old writing. New adventures in Never Land. The chapter has been renamed because I believe that the old title will serve better for a future chapter (most probably the next one).
New adventures in other worlds, as well as a redoing of the time that the trio spent in Traverse Town. As I looked back at these old bits, I realized how very rushed I had made the story seem. I also realized that I had not exploited the Disney worlds nearly as much as I could have, and I'm afraid Sei's personality came out seeming very flat. -_- all the world really needs right now is another flat oc, and I hope that the writing that I added helped to provide more insight on his character.
Chapter Five-
Moderate revisions of old writing. Expansion of the time spent at the Disney Castle. I felt sorry for having neglected Donald and Goofy, so ::shrugs:: they make a bit more of an appearance here.
Chapter Six-
Moderate revisions of old writing. Also, an addition of some minor dialogue in the chocobo stables, and more conversation between the Hollow Bastion knights and our trio.
Chapter Seven-
Moderate revisions of old writing. New scene in which Aerith helps Kairi pick out a dress for dinner, and Yuffie pops too for a chat-this is located between the Cloud and Riku discussion and the dinner scene.
Chapter Eight-
Light Revisions of old writing.

So there you have it. I plan to have the next chapter posted somewhere in the next two to three weeks.
And for Reviewers—
To Firefly: O.o
Oh no, this fanfiction is definitely not over yet. Our heroes still have a ways to go, what with the Nobodies, and the deal with Sora's eyes, and Ansem inside Sei, and...well, you'll just have to wait and see what happens next, won't you?
To Tornado: In the beginning, when Sora was intermeshed with Sei, snippets of his memories were coming back to him, but for the most all he was getting were "feelings" (for lack of a better word). Recognition of certain people and places, for example, and a remembrance of emotional ties to Riku and Kairi (although for the life of him he couldn't recall how these two had become so important to him...) As time passed, however, he did get a pretty good grasp of who he had been and how that related to Riku, Kairi, and the whole Heartless scheme. All the gaping holes became clear to him when he returned with Kairi in Hollow Bastion.
