Anything to get those words on page!
Or require a catcher’s mitt and a bit of river dancing. 
I’ve never tried Crossover, but I know some fellow writers use Wine, and I believe they’re working across two computers as well.
Well, as I understand it, Crossover is just a fancy interface for doing Wine. I’ve tried doing Wine straight up, but the high isn’t that enjoyable. In short, it takes a level of geek I’ve yet to achieve.
Have you tried having your project folder in your Dropbox, and then opening it from there with Papyrus Author?
That way, you’ll have one project you’re editing with both computers, and because the Character Database and other project files are stored in the same location, the paths shouldn’t cause any trouble either.
Well, that’s actually what I’ve basically done. The project file and directory is in Dropbox. If I create the file with the windows version first, then I can see all of the file on Linux. But if I create the project file on the Linux, the windows version cant see the character sheets or timeline, and you can’t even save. It gives an error that those files are located in a directory where Crossover installs its bottles by default.
So, if I install the Papyrus bottle into the dropbox instead, then create the project file on the windows version, it can be read properly on the Linux side. However, Crossover starts having issues after a few days with that, requiring me to reinstall papyrus again.
So, it seems that the databases, when creating the project file on the Linux side and saving it to the Dropbox, is still keeping the databases in the crossover directory. This is what led me to believe that the databases aren’t kept with the project file.
When working with Cloud and two computers, remember to save your work after each session so you always have the most recent version in the cloud when you open it on the other computer.
I’ll look into that, but it seems that’s a bit of what I’m already doing? Could be onfused about it. It happens now and then. 
I’ll keep you updated, but looking forward to any more thoughts you might have.
Here’s a thread on syncing over Cloud that’s discussing the same topics: Syncing between devices
Resources for setting up the Cloud
Wiki article on Cloud: Using a Cloud With Papyrus Author

With this setup, the project itself never leaves your Dropbox, so it should be smooth sailing regardless of how Crossover deals with the Papyrus Author installation itself. 
Let me know how it goes!
