Oh my god, I know what you mean. Because I feel like, if Alison did come to terms with her feelings for him, she'd be so aware of his denial and that would make her not want to try. OR she'd actually believe that he doesn't have any of the same feelings, which would put her off trying as well - and be even more heartbreaking. I think they would both have to be in roughly the same place, and it's really hard to imagine that happening.
I'm glad you liked the way I wrote it in my fic. I wanted to show that they were beginning to get back on the same wavelength, so I didn't want the kiss to be onesided in any way - like Alison kissing him and him being startled but gradually kissing her back, or anything like that. It needed to be like, they both wanted the same thing at that same moment. And Alison moving in for the kiss but hesitating, and then Jamie actually taking the leap - it seemed to work.
Oh my god, I totally understand the whole fic-expansion issue. That's how mine got so long! I just kept wanting to explore so many things. Hnnnng I'm SO in favour of young!Jamie/Alison interaction, you don't even know.
And any kind of Alison/Jack/Jamie shenanigans. Oh my god, the voyeurism thing, yes pleeease. Seeing them backstage together would work so well, because like - seeing the SHOW and them not knowing he's there would be a form of voyeurism in itself, especially if it's the first (or one of the first) he's been to and he's not sure what to make of the sexual tension. So he has like this dread/sinking feeling about what it might mean, and at the same time he can't take his eyes off them, and also it feels sort of like an out-of-body experience (like he said that one time). And then to actually have it all CONFIRMED backstage...SO MANY COMPLICATED FEELINGS.
Also: the Baby Says video - it IS them, isn't it? They're weirdly well-disguised and I think I sort of couldn't quite believe it, because it seemed too amazing to be true. I want some behind-the-scenes photos where we can see them clearly. Auugh and I just keep thinking of the two of them joking around pretending to be each other, and role reversals and roleplaying and hnnnng.
