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!
