When... Does a comet become a meteor...?

Hey! I am really interested in reading your Leyla garmadon x Morro story, but I can't translate it since I only speak english! Is it possible for you to post it in english? Or do you have Ao3 so I can translate it on there since Wattpad doesn't let me use translating services!

Whats your Instagram?
          

So, I might actually take a break from AHS before I finish part 3 of AHS 3. I've worked on it for over half a year without interruption now, and I feel like a change of pace. I might return to my P5R fanfiction for the time being because I feel inspired for it again.
          
          I will likely return to AHS in summer, or around that time.

It is done ... Code of Claw Part I—I mean, AHS 3 Part 2—has been edited & updated. Yes, I shifted the ending of Part 2 forward a little. Those who know what's about to happen might be grateful, haha.
          Okay, so this part might have changed even more than Part 1. Mainly because of the new subplot relating to the Sandwich lore.
          It is kind of difficult to write a tribute to a book that I dislike very ardently (yes, I am an open Code of Claw hater.) But I've tried my best, and I believe I've done well.
          
          Oh, by the way, my CoC rewrite of it is not any kind of wish fulfillment or "ideal reality" outcome of the TUC story. I don't just change whatever I dislike without regard for the themes in the original.
          But the entire plot of the final book is different, right? Well, a lot more happens in the actual plot, but there's so much talk about loss, and sacrifice, (the dark side of) heroism, and whether "for the greater good" is worth it. Corruption and death, injustice, and grappling with unkind fates and alienation/rejection.
          Now, I did put less emphasis on the societal pressure aspect of CoC, but that is a huge part of AHS 2 already, and it did not really fit this part of the story anymore. "Gregor against society" becomes "Questers against society" (since they are—small spoiler—banding together to actually overthrow Solovet and bring about change.)
          And so, it is not only corruption but also redemption. Not only death and suffering but also growth and gain. Not only violence and the breaking of relationships but also companionship and hope.
          What it took to give this series a happy ending without disrespecting its gritty, violent core was a shift in mindset toward the positive. Remembering that everything has good and bad consequences. What we take away from it is what we choose to focus on.
          
          This was a bit of a rant but I've seen some people misunderstand this before and it's a little aggravating. As if hope and optimism automatically make something lighthearted and go-lucky.

The AHS 3 Part 2 edit is shaping up to be more substantial than I had originally planned ... And so it's taking up time. Yes, I'm gonna add some more subplots into there that haven't been there before (because this book isn't like 270k words long already or anything.)
          
          I've been thinking about something @Death_Straight_Up once replied to me in a comment when I told them that I'd cut the digger arc out of CoC: Gregor should question what he's fighting for.
          And while the digger arc itself is a horrible, forced way of doing this (nothing about the diggers or Sandwich in the way it's presented actually warrants Gregor questioning his fighting for the Regalians considering how long ago it's been since any of it happened), I do want to add something that does this better. And I also want to do the reveal of Sandwich's war crime against them after all ... just without bringing the diggers out in person (why did they even agree to team up with the Bane?? They were clearly doing well for themselves wherever they live now. What did the Bane promise them to get them to risk their lives in this war that's entirely unrelated to them?? Anyway, Ig that's just CoC's 7589th plot hole ...)
          Either way, we ARE discussing Sandwich as a person. Just, what comes out in the end may not be exactly what you expect if you have read CoC and just gone along with Gregor's (very flawed) train of thought there without questioning anything. Fun times for me :)

Marks of Secret 2.0-, ahem, I mean PART 1 OF "A Henry Story 3" is now updated & edited :)
          It's gotten ... even longer. And even sadder. Yes I made the volcano scene even more visceral and I changed the entire aftermath (because I realized that it lacked any kind of follow-up in the original MOS, considering how horrific that entire part is ... so I added one. I am not responsible if you cry, by the way.)
          
          Also ... can I just say that AHS 3 Henry is absolutely f*cking incredible? The more I write him the way I've set him up in AHS 2 forward, the more I'm realizing that he is indeed the missing link for what could have given this story a more hopeful tone ... What it needed was someone who would listen to Gregor's and Luxa's problems and encourage them to work through them. Who would stop Luxa from coping with her pain by being a jerk. Who would dissipate their fears (especially Gregor's obnoxious self-villainization—thanks, Hamnet—which just pissed me off because it's so groundless), etc. Aka ... someone who has HOPE. Who can BRING hope and positivity into this story.
          
          ANYWAY, mini rant over, Henry The Protector >>>> is all I wanted to say. And also quester found family >>>>>>
          
          ... How obvious is it that this part is my favorite in all of AHS lmao? I mean, MOS is already my favorite TUC book. This part was birthed out of a desire to make that book even better, as a tribute to it (as opposed to Code of Claw—which I'm officially renaming to Code of Pissiness, as by a suggestion from a friend who's reading it right now.)
          And dare I say I think I've succeeded.

I would like to formally announce the COMPLETION of the "A Henry Story II" edit!!
          I am as proud of this edit as I am of book 1 ... the story is truly coming together now. I HIGHLY recommend all of you who have read it in the past to reread it :) This is now the fully realized vision I had for this book. I assure you, it's worth another read.
          
          And of course, if you have been waiting to start AHS as a whole, GO FOR IT NOW! Believe me, you don't need to like Henry to read this series. Come for more Underland and get attached to him somewhere along the way (it will happen, believe me.)
          
          PLEASE LEAVE ME SOME THOUGHTS AND/OR COMMENTS IF YOU DO CHECK IT OUT :) I cannot be held responsible for any soul-crushing or tears, btw. You read at your own risk :)
          
          MEANWHILE, I'LL BE OVER IN AHS 3 ... I am going to do an edit of everything that exists of that book so far, and then finish the bit of the ending I have left. WISH ME LUCK!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
          Dw, I am pretty much done with AHS 2 as I promised; I will update it either tomorrow or the day after since I have to do a final check through the entire book before I can consider it done :)
          
          2024 shall be the year of AHS 3 :)) (yes, an edit of what exists of that comes next, you can't stop me)

I MADE IT!! I MADE IT THROUGH PART 2 OF A HENRY STORY 2 
          I swear every time I edit that part it costs a part of my soul. I mean, it's worth it, but still 
          (If you have read that book, you know what I mean ... if not, well ... enjoy your bliss, friend.)
          
          Oh, I can finally move onto part 3 ... aka my favorite part of that book (seriously, it is ... Crux may be objectively one of the best things I have ever written—check that chapter out, by the way, if you've read the book, I may or may not have added an art that I have finished recently to the end of that—but part 3 of AHS 2 >>>)
          
          HOME STRETCH! Planning to be done with the book by the end of the year so that I can focus on AHS 3 :)
