Hey guys! Lazuli here, and I've got good news and bad news.
Bad news: I will not be finishing When Darkness Falls. At least, not this version.
Good news: I'm restarting all my SU stories! This includes When Darkness Falls, Separate Ways and a few other stories in this series! So don't be too upset, When Darkness Falls will get a proper completed story in this new series, and my other projects regarding this series will be completed, too.
Here's the current plan:
1. Remaster Separate Ways
2. Redo When Darkness Falls with new characters, an updated plot and a longer story. I had plans for a story after I finished When Darkness Falls, a codex called War Stories, which will also be finished, but now When Darkness Falls will be one story instead of two separate ones. The title will still be "War Stories" and will include the original Steven Universe cast as well as a wonderful cast or OC's my yours truly and from a good friend of mine. This will be much better for my original plan.
3. After I complete these current projects, I have a wonderful surprise for you...NO SPOILERS!
With that being said, I'm writing every day with full intent to finish all of these projects. 2020 has had a rough start, but this year still has a lot of promise for this following. I appreciate your patience and understanding through my ups and downs over the years, and you will be rewarded with amazing stories, a distinguished cast of characters, and a proper ending to this series. For those who aren't aware, I have the first chapter of Separate Ways Remastered up, with chapter 2 to follow either today (as of this publication, it is 4/4/2020) or within the next couple of days. Go check it out, and be sure to leave comments, questions or suggestions in the reviews afterwards. I assure you, this story, along with the rest of this series, will be better than anything I was originally writing.
Welp, time to get writing! Lazuli out!
