'Verses that are that divergent from canon can be so fun to play with.
I've don't have anything that long or involved that I don't have a good grasp on since I've come back (I have wips, but I have a clear idea of their structure at least), but I remember back in the day I hit a wall with my big 100k fic and thought I'd never finish it. (Luckily, I was able to, but there was a point I even considered handing it off.)
You could keep this in the drawer, playing with it and feeling it out, until you're more sure of it. That way you can explore the interesting idea, maybe without feeling too bad if it turns out to be too much to wrangle, since it's only you who sees it unfinished.
Sometimes fic doesn't work out, no matter how much we want it to, so don't beat yourself up about that other project. Just the fact that you tried it matters, imho.
