Amidst the vastness of the galaxy, Lapis drifted. She had flown into the vacuum, desperate to escape the Diamond's wrath, yet weighed down by the sum of all she left behind. No matter what she did, or how far she flew, nothing of the past really escaped her mind, and for the moment, she had no one but herself to turn to in the confines of outer space itself.

All the while, Lars and the Off-Colors kept themselves together as best as they could. Having dodged everything from Elite Citrines to Emerald and her associate's fleets, they finally find themselves in the Milky Way, closer than ever to Earth. Despite the hope of this moment, the fear of an imperial ship standing in their way lingers in their mind, as their flight from Homeworld has taken its toll on the Sun Incinerator, and it's residents.

Despite the vastness of the galaxy, and against all odds, these two would come across each other. Whether or not they would band together was a matter of their own design.

Hi! This blog is suddenly alive again! Shocker! I’m back at it again with my late night to...god knows when in the morning postings.

This chapter took a while for sure, I happened to have gotten both busy and somewhat complacent with the updating. Sometimes I struggled to make progress on this one. But, I’ve still managed to come up with something in the end, though I must say, I hardly am alone on this front.

I would like to offer a special thanks to https://www.tumblr.com/tobyisave, and https://www.tumblr.com/jenhedgehog for their respective works as seen down here:

I took a bit of inspiration from these works, as well as referenced them quite a bit in this one. I’m one to hope you’ll see as much when you read it yourself.

Anyways, happy trails, back into the pit I go!

Chapter 7: The Second Round

Summary: Lars and the Off-Colors find themselves within inches from the clutches of one of Homeworld's Warships. Relentlessly, it seeks their erasure from the star maps, to stop their running after so long. Meanwhile, Lapis Lazuli finds yet another moment to defy her fate, and in turn wonders about her own odds against the galaxy around her.

Yet another chapter has dropped, peep it here!:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/57649900/chapters/171311224

It took so long for me to write this one that I happened to stumble right into one of the most hype moments in this community for a while. What’s even more ironic is this spinoff happens to be close in concept to my fanfic so far, at least given it also emphasizes Lars and the Off-Colors quite a lot, or at least it involves my own takes on them.

It makes the moment I’ve returned even more opportune, I’d argue. At least in terms of the hype that’s sure to come after this announcement. I’m also immensely fascinated by the concept of it in general, and especially exploring more Homeworld lore and more of its structure. I’m sure it’ll be just as action-packed as well.

In any case, as for the fanfic itself, it took a while especially as I both traveled, and found my motivation and my pace stagnating for quite some time. It was a struggle to get this one published as a result of both factors.

However, despite everything, I feel pretty happy with what I’ve got done on this one. I’m hoping it was well worth the wait for you guys!

Enough of my yapping now. Go read. I’ll see you all on the flipside! The next chapter, I’ll say, will be more of a palette cleanser.

Surprise! Yet another chapter's out!

Despite sacrificing my sleep for it, I feel..pretty good actually. This chapter especially takes a bit of a breather from all of the action of the last three chapters.

(This is totally me fr)

In terms of what's there: In essence, I was especially glad to get to the part where Lapis and the Off-Colors would more substantively interact, though it's still brief at this point. Lapis isn't known for sticking around so easily, unfortunately.

I also had to ask others about their take/what they think Lapis would do in this situation, as I was at a bit of an impasse. From there though, the words flowed (hahahahaha).

Also, it's a pleasure to write the interactions of the Off-Colors in general- I truly imagine them to be a capable crew, who have especially grown to trust each other as time goes on.

This chapter's got more of the dialogue and the characters this time, I hope I nailed that down. Of course, this calm is probably not to last, but you'll see how that's the case.

Oh, and as for the Lapidot tag? That hasn't been as relevant aside from the angsty crumbs I'm laying (It's from Lapis's side, of course there's angst at this point). But rest assured…I have plans for those two. Big plans….

(It isn't anything evil, I swear.)

So, there you guys have it! Enjoy- and please do leave me your thoughts, they're most appreciated!

[alazulite]

I am proud to announce that my fic has finally hit 500 hits on AO3. A milestone for me, considering it's the first time I've made something that hit 500 anything, at least substantively.

(I have no idea if that's exactly indicative of its quality, but, well, I'm stumbling into the dark on this one. 22 kudos so far on it. I'm just hoping I'm cooking here..)

I appreciate you all very much for reading it! I can't thank you enough. Next chapter is in the works as of now, I promise y'all that.

I have returned with yet another chapter! Chapter 5 of 'Blue-Green Amongst the Stars' is out now. It's one I'm mighty proud of, and also the longest one so far.

It's full of both action, and heart, so I hope so at least. I absolutely had a blast writing this one too.

Enjoy!

(I HAVE RETURNED!!!!) Blue-Green Amongst the Stars, with a Dash of Pink

Yet another chapter for my utterly crazy idea of a fanfiction. More than 22 pages this go around (jesus christ).

How I managed to write that much? I dunno, sometimes I wish I was more consistent with this. But I am very proud of how this one turned out all the same.

More action, as Lars and the Off-Colors make their way through the labyrinth that is the hallways of the facility. Lars and Lapis finally meet for the first time in this one too. It's all very action-packed too.

Enjoy!

Welp, it's finally back after ages in the dustbin. University started back up, and my pea-brained attention span definitely kept prying me away from it. Still, I managed to get this next chapter done at least. I promise you all, this one is a treat.

For those of you who are still here, thank you for your patience. I'll follow up on this part as soon as I can.

SECOND (technically the first) CHAPTER OF MY FANFIC IS OUT! I'm shocked at the pace I managed to get this one out, but then again, I had been working on this part for some time now, off and on.

I can't say I'd maintain this lightning pace, as the next section will likely be fully written out over time. But I hope to make it through in earnest.

I can't thank y'all enough for reading this. Holler at me if y'all want, I do wanna hear what you lovelies think of this.

It took me eons, but I finally managed to get another fanfic wheels up! And I'm one to think it'll be a doozy.

Hopefully, I have more consistency that Valve does at updating their games for this, but then again, with college on the horizon, who knows?

I'm also leaping back into SU once more, to some degree at least.

Feel free to give this one a whirl, see how y'all like it.

Thanks!

The broader concept of this fanfiction is essentially a what-if; What if Lapis Lazuli had encountered the Off-Colors and Lars whilst she was out in space, and what things would they get up to, together?

It took me eons, but I finally managed to get another fanfic wheels up! And I'm one to think it'll be a doozy, given what I've said.
