another thing I was half expecting narrativium to do in Brave:

Also, I am terribly bereaved that the stone circle can never be used as a doorway into the sidhe again.

Can it not? Admittedly, it did get broken, but I would expect that if anything, it would lose two doorways (the ones on either side of the fallen stone) - or swap them for one new one that goes somewhere different - or possibly throw the whole thing out of alignment and start opening doors to all sorts of strange places.

It's more that everything would be thrown out of whack and be terribly unstable.

In magic, circles are outright broken if the smallest portion of it is removed or erased. Like scuffing a salt circle instantly breaks its protection, even if most of it stays intact. It's rather superstitious of me to do so, but I do take great pleasure in breaking 'fairy circles' made of mushrooms or daisies.
However, in ritualised Wicca/Pagan practises, circles have to also be broken with a ritual.

So it feels to me that there wouldn't be individual doors between stones any more, just one into the sidhe which changes location and is incredibly random. Which things can pass out into the stone circle easy enough, but which things find it very hard to pass out into the sidhe if they didn't come from there originally.

Yeah I just have this image in my head of the stone circle coming un-grounded and spinning off wildly through space connecting at random with other dimensions.

Also continuity-wise, does Elinor have scars now from her fight with Mordu? I feel like that would be logical.

I have no idea. But it would be neat and she and Fergus could argue over whether a missing leg and fighting him with weapons beats a few scars and fighting him bare/bear handed.
