In writing this fanfiction novel, I want to give my personal opinions on this massive project that @Darkhorse344 and myself have undertaken. When first I got the dm from him about helping him write a Citrus fanfiction of his personal plotline, I will readily admit that I instinctively hesitated. I mean, after all, I'm already writing three other fanfics, two of which are Citrus-related. (And, as a side note, if you want to see the other two, one is here on my @BigPoppaAihara account, and the other is on my main account, DitFCodeAlpha.) But as he unveiled his blueprint of giving Aihara Yuzu (cue Himeko right about here lol) a wickedly dark side, I suddenly realized that this could become an extremely deep fanfic with a lot of predictions for the situation post-Chapter 36. "The Darkest Hour" was destined to be written in a style absolutely foreign to my previous works here on Wattpad. Ordinarily, when I think fanfic, I think action. Orgies and twisted storylines right and left, with slapstick euphemisms that make both the author and the reader break down in laughter. But when we began the storyline for "The Darkest Hour," I started to notice that as I was putting it down and publishing it here, I was getting legitimate feels. It was almost as if I were reading chapter 37 and getting an emotional rollercoaster from reading the original manga by Saburo Uta. In fact, I nearly cried several times while writing the chapters of that first arc. But like the author of Citrus said, we also want to give a happy ending to this fanfic series, and the path to that ending begins right here, in the second installment of this drama: Citrus: Eve of Daybreak. Thanks guys! We hope you enjoy! BigPoppaAihara and Darkhorse344
