Advice, please?

I'm working on something at the moment that's completely AU and set sometime between season's 2 and 3 of Angel. And although it's completely AU, I want it to sound as realistic to the reader as possible.

So my question is this - How long would be believable between the time that Angel slept with Darla and a kind of mid-point between s2 and s3 of Angel?

I have Xander coming into the Angelverse at that time, during the whole Glory storyline, but before the culmination of it.

I was thinking somewhere around 5 months, would that be realistic?

Sorry for the spam, but...

I wrote just a little over a whole page tonight guys.

I'm truly giving all the credit to this new medication my new doctor put me on. She said that in her opinion most of my problems were from not getting enough/the right kind of sleep. So she put me on Lunesta to help sleep, Cardiotek (which is a perscription vitamin), and Clidinium for the icky irritable bowel syndrome. Which you probably didn't want to hear about, but oh well, it's my journal.

Since i've gotten on these meds and gotten used to them, i'm getting much more/better sleep, i haven't had a single down swing of depression, and i've started writing more.

So i'm thankful, and wanted to share that. So i did.

Nite!
