While the Time Circuits Series is complete, I always had an outline ready to tell the story of Not Marty and Not Emma from 1985A. Their story is gleaned from the Hell Valley chapters of Where You Are (#2), but if I ever got the itch again, I'd go back and write their story.

I've already got the outline, and, as with all of the chapter titles in the series, they would be taken from popular time travel/ alternate reality works in fiction. So, for you, the outline and chapter title meanings for Lest Darkness Fall!

Thanks for knocking on my door!! 🪾🎃🍁

First, a callback to the lovely image of Marty and Emma that kickstarted this amazing project:

And now! We've got Emma's "default" at the DeLorean reveal and her Enchantment Under the Sea dress from Where You're Going (#1):

Her fabulous 1955 attire around school and around the mansion, also in Where You're Going (#1):

All of those hoppin' Part 2 outfits in Where You Are (#2) from 2015, 1985A, and 1955:

And of course the incredible work on the 1885 wardrobe featured in There Are No Roads (#2.5) and Where You Were (#3):

A little excerpt from the epilogue to celebrate 🥳 :

When Emma woke up, she could feel the sun on her aching shoulder and the tulle bunched beneath the sheets. The side of the wardrobe glowed in the morning light, and her eyes drifted to the white pumps discarded against the wall. Emma stared at the shoes as she sat up. Her throat went dry.

Of course it all happened. The shoes were proof, lying there on her bedroom floor. The most mundane and singularly exquisite proof that she had lived through possibly the most significant, successful science experiment ever conducted. She went to 1955. She went to 1955 and brought back a pair of shoes. And a dress.

And her father.

The very talented and generous @melonseed11 drew a picture of Marty and Emma from my Time Circuits Series!

I am very moved to have a story I wrote inspire art. Emma's hair is so big! I love it! The moon necklace, the capris, the Converse — she looks so much cooler than I ever dreamed! :D
