Uhhh... hi gang?

So many of you may be wondering; The Fuck have you been, Kamiro? I've been waiting for an update on 'Fallen Rose' for over TWO YEARS now!
Well, the answer to that is: I've been updating other stories and not playing destiny
or watching RWBY. So... yeah. But! I've never stopped thinking about this story, since I really do love it.

Which lead me down a path of self-reflection that resulted in one conclusion.
I didn't like the direction that Fallen Rose was going.

To articulate my problems, I thought that I was (A) Jumping too abruptly from scene to scene. More prominently, (B) I believe I was sticking to closely to the tempo of the story's inspiration (Remnat of a Rose). And (C), That the characters used just... didn't feel right.

So, it must be pretty disappointing to hear that after all this time, the last update you got was this story's... well, obituary.
Many apologies for all that truly did love this story, but I don't think I can get the train back on the rails from where I've left it.

AND SO I'M GETTING A WHOLE NEW TRAIN. CHOO CHOO!

Yep, that's right! Fallen Rose is going to restart in 'Fallen Rose; Take II'!

So, as of now I've finished the first sort of 'prolouge' chapter which will give better insight into this new rendition of the story. I'm going to write three to five chapters total before publishing any of them, so it may take a little while, but it is coming!

Now, since I've made my feelings clear on not liking how this original one was going, what have I changed?

Change 1) Angela, whilst still present, is going to be taking a back seat in this story. What I felt in the first version is that she was a little 'too' experienced. And that there wasn't anything that could really challenge her, making any encounter involving her trivial. I had already established in my mind that she was an extremely skilled fighter, doing massive legwork during a lot of the Pre-Game destiny events like Twilight gap. So now, she's only going to show up when I need some A-grade badassery. And also wholesome family moments, since she did still aggressively adopt Summer.
"
But Kamiro!" you may cry, "What about the title? How are you going to have a titular fallen character in it if you're not going to use angela as much?"
Ah. A valid claim. However-

Change 2) Meet Ikaldys. Another fallen Templar under the preview of Angela. I've fleshed out the ranks of the Templars a smidge more, so that along with Angela and Eris, Ikaldys and two other yet-to-be-known guardians are the new ranks. Despite not being another adoptee by Angela, Ikaldys and Summer formed a sisterly relationship. A chaotic, migraine-inducing relationship, but a sisterly one all the same. Obviously, she's on the same fireteam as Summer. Which brings me to-

Change 3) Summer's whole fireteam is coming to Remnant with her. Along with Ikaldys, we have the Exo Warlock Serpent-11, and the Awoken Titan Kurux Jani. This is the point I'm most excited for, since it's going to biggest deviation from any Summer Guardian Fics that I know of. And the only fic with a full Guardian team I know of is moderately written and... very horny. So I thought that it'd be a neat thing to try and do!

Overall, I'm trying to break away from many of the norms when it comes to Destiny x RWBY fics, which tend to fall into a few particular categories: Guardian becomes a Beacon Student, bonus points for falling for the horrible fic cliche of becoming RWBY member #5. Guardian becomes a Beacon Teaching. Guardian doing shenanigans and antagonizing law enforcement (RoaR gets a fee pass for being the first).
So, the next time you hear from me in this crossover, I'll be giving you about three or five chapters of a reimagined Fallen Rose.

Bybyyy for nowww
