Author's Thank You Note
To whomever read this story,
First to Fall almost never happened. Starting First to Fall, I thought it was only going to be ten or so chapters. Now, 35 chapters later, this is my longest fiction yet.
Many of the events that take place are fictional, based off of wishes and dreams I had with previous relationships. Some events were a spin-off of my own memories, which I cherish and think of often.
What the characters went through were their own unique struggles. However during certain parts of the story, I did include fragments of my own hardships, though not exactly the same. Writing was a way for me to express what I’ve bottled up these past years.
I see a lot of Peridot in myself, yet she is also a much different character than me. But it was familiar and somewhat comfortable to describe everything from her point of view.
Lapis’ character is inspired by many different people who have come and gone through my life.
And of course, all the character’s personalities, traits, and quirks are based (I guess somewhat loosely) from the Steven Universe cartoon.
Thank you to anyone who has liked, commented, or just decided to read this story. It means so much as a writer that this story has received any sort of attention at all. I can’t say thank you enough.
To all my readers and supporters, have a wonderful upcoming year!

PS. I am in the works of planning a spin off story from Pearl’s point of view. Five chapters or so. It will likely happen this next year.
