Hey guys, Neo here with some sort of bad news with this story.
Like I know how much you all love it but I've come up to that stage that a heap of writers experience with League. I can no longer use the Institute of War AU to fully move my story along. It's just become limiting as all hell because, being the perfectionist idiot that I am, I can't align the time spaces with the changes that Riot keeps bringing in. And now I'm also too far down the rabbit hole to edit out the IoW.
Now don't get wrong, I actually have loved writing this from the get go. It's helped me get through some hard times and good times too. And I absolutely love the characters and how I've gotten them to interact (That Lulu scene was incredibly fun to write as well as the first Diana/Leona interaction). So I'm going to leave this story up. However I will not continue writing as it's just becoming too detrimental to my own mental health.
So my solution is this: I'm going to write Elias's origin story and his quest to save Diana without bringing in the Institute of War. This way gives me a whole lot more freedom to form my own plot rather than have to stick to the rigid guidelines of Riot's storytelling.
So the second lot of bad news is that this story won't be uploaded until I've gotten at least halfway through writing and even then I'm going to release it slowly so there may be a bit of a wait up until and in between uploads. If you want to read it when I finally go ahead and release it, may I suggest putting me under your author alerts so when I do upload you'll be notified immediately.
I'm really sorry for this guys. I honestly wish I didn't have to do it this way but I can't see any other way of progressing my current plot. Again sorry for being a shitty writer and I hope to see you guys soon with an upload.

P.S. What I've got down so far is actually really good.
