To the Edge of Light's Reach (Alternative Ending)

by Mechasix

How it all ends...With some devilishly quick thinking (and no small amount of luck), Lux managed to avert almost certain war, saving Runterra from a devastating conflict. She was a hero...but it had come at a price. With only her broken heart and haunted dreams for company, could she turn her back on her family and her country, everything she knew, for one last shot at happiness?

AN: (warning – I may ramble slightly, don't read it all if you don't want to)

Hiya,

Firstly a huge disclaimer: I did not write the original story that this ending is based on. "To the Edge of Light's Reach" is a story written by /u/TheModernBard (not me).

Ok, now that's out of the way, I will try and quickly explain what this is all about.

If you haven't read the original story then I highly recommend it – I'll try and link it somewhere, dunno if that even works, but if not just search it :) – You by no means have to have read the original in order to enjoy my ending, but it will definitely help you get the most out of it, and understand all of the references.

"To the Edge of Light's Reach" was the first fanfic I ever read on this site, and to this day is still by far my favourite. If I was going to talk about all the things that make it so great, I would probably go on for waaaaaay too long so I'll just say that it's great one more time. I really enjoyed reading it. It was funny, emotional, tense, tragic, and so many other things that you really just don't expect a fanfic to be -

Seriously? Why have you not gone to read it yet?

Any way you can imagine my disappointment when it never got finished. I waited patiently for years, checking in every so often and hoping that the final chapters would have been added. Sadly the ending I was waiting for never came and I lost hope that it ever would, so I decided to write the ending myself.

So that is basically what this is… a massive self-indulgence. A fan fiction of a fan fiction. Deep huh? I decided to write my own ending, mainly for myself, but also for anyone else who was as upset as I was that TheModernBard never got around to finishing the original. This is almost certainly not how he/she (assuming genders in 2017) would have chosen to end it, but I have tried hard to stay as true to the original as possible. Hopefully I succeeded :s

I wrote this all in like a week because I really wanted to get it out, so hopefully it doesn't feel too rushed.

Ok. That's everything I wanted to say I think? No more rambling.

If you read it then I really hope you enjoy! Any feedback you have is more than welcome :)
