Yeah. I could just imagine making a pile of Arcana PCs in 4th ed. There's a bad end. Also, Katie does have PTSD on top of everything else, but she earned that PTSD... and the everything else... over the course of the game.
If you were to make all of those changes to Haruko, she'd be a pretty different character. More thoughts on such later if/when I have time, either in comments or over AIM/IRC.
The fic you're referring to is here: The End. It's not the best thing I've ever written, by any means, but I just reread it and I'm still pleased enough. It's also pretty easy to see when I wrote it; a number of things would have to be changed in order to make it fit with how characters have developed since then. I'm still very happy with my portrayal of all of the PCs, though. :)
(It's also the end of the world in Arcanaverse proper, and things are being handled quite a bit differently!)
