Here it is. Just thought I would say about it.

A few edits for ToM: Mending Shards

A prologue chapter added
Chapters 1-3 are rewritten from scratch, in case of chapter 3 more like 'rearranged' but you will find new scenes anyway
A new interlude chapter added after chapter 54
A postscriptum chapter added

I just understood why it was so hard to make a clear picture of what even goes on in the book from the start.

I need a few preliminary steps, so pardon me for being too wordy.

Let's look at real life and daily routines. Entering the lift (or is it elevator in your country?) you quickly check if it arrived. Crossing roads is 'look around, then do it once again'. Buying food, some likely will check expiration dates.

Overall, it's imperfect. For the first three chapters I simply did not know in the slightest how the plot will unfold. It shows. I just tried to see and show some semi-related pictures. These chapters are later on somewhat tied to the plot, but actual plot starts from chapter 4, and, thankfully, after that I never lose it.

There are holes. Things that, should I happen to have more battery in me, are actually in need to be spoken out and shown rather than noted in passing.

So... an header.

I am at the very ending of the novel, and want to focus on it. Sorry.

There will be a few chapters of UtBM published simultaneously, to cover culmination all at once.

From the Off-season's point of view:

0. Both books should be okay to read without knowing the other part.
1. Under the Black Moon happened a few (unspecified, but really little. Less than twenty, likely less than ten) years ago.
2. World of UtBM, as presented, lay right there in Off-season, beyond the portal of Littlehorn. The portal is still experimental. The portal was built as a joint effort from both sides shortly after the end of UtBM. It works both ways.

Far Away from Home had been significantly expanded. Plus ~300 words total, mostly to ease the logic gap in between. A few corrections all over the text too.

It's marked Complete. Does it need a sequel or a second chapter, though? I mean, it is not the primary project, so no pressure one way or the other.

important edit: please note that in the original story there is an asterisk with a few clarifications in the first comment to that story; the author's intended meaning was different than the one I got when I read it and when I had been publishing the text below.

My reply would not work and would not exist for the antagonist of Trixie Kicks a Bigot who advocates genocide.

I saw no such advocating in the first edition.

For my soul, MLP started at Season 4, and got me invested in Season 5. I appreciate and sometimes feel a longing for the almost pure Utopia of Season 1, but it is not my home.

I am not the Grimdark author though, and never will be.

I live in Russia, so English goes as my second language. My stories are, in fact, very much improved by my proofreaders and beta-readers.

I have really little experience in fanfiction, but have a few original short stories in SF/Fantasy genres.
