Well…
Sorry about this.
But it's been far too long already and I've been thinking of this for quite some time.
I'm sure you all already know what I'm about to say.
This story is officially Discontinued.
Mostly due to the fact that I just don't find myself being able to write any more for it and partly because when I try to reread this fic, it just feels wrong both on a narrative and technical level.
I even tried to see if I would be able to get myself through a rewrite of it and that failed.
So while I'm sure many of you realized this was coming, I am officially putting the final nail in the coffin of this story.
And for anyone who wishes to know where this idea was eventually going to go if I had managed to continue…
The only real plot points that had been decided were that Nyarlathotep would be the main antagonist, moving events behind the scenes while preying on Louise's psychological vulnerability after her mother's death to turn her to its side.
… and that was pretty much all there was to it.
Farewell.
The Distorted Shadow.
