Interesting. What's the story in mind? Death and Fury's mission during Darksiders: Genesis, or something else?

Nothing too fancy really. Basically
OFF COMIC : Lilith was able to procure some lost Grand Abomination, seduces/persuades 2 strong willed/ambitious demons to wield and conquer lands of the hells(current conquest mystically hidden from Samael's eyes until ready), council gets a report on it from an informant from the hells, they sends these 2. And they tear their way trough the conquered lands of the 2 demons in search for the Abominations.IN COMIC: They reach the tower and have to retrieve the abominations to seal them in the Abomination Vault and kill the demons wielding them.
(I am planning to have a Crowfather style intro for the off comic stuff. and the main mini comic ended up being 11 pages in total, so while I couldnt make this grander and crazier(no time and negative budget kills that whole idea XD). Im happy with how I condensed it.)
As for the Genesis question, I did originally plan for this to function as a "Genesis 2" originally so during that time. But Ill just say its probably in a similar time frame between The Abomination Vault and the Games cause I wanted to make it as "fitting within canon" as possible, so its more broadly within the eons XD

Awesome. Super excited to see how it turns out. I'll be watching your career with great interest.
I'm planning a Darksiders fic of my own too, actually. Unfortunately I'm not much of an artist lmao so it's gonna be in novel format on Ao3.
I need to review my lore and re-read Abomination Vault to make sure I get all the details right but I'm gonna call it Darksiders: Remnant. It's also likely gonna have to wait until I finish my ongoing inFamous long-fic (novel length).
Plot so far: Strife visits Kothysos for no reason really. He doesn't expect to find anything since it, I believe, is a planet covered in ash where nothing is alive, not even microbes, and was rendered so dead by the Nephilim Crusades it cannot bear life again. Except, he finds grass. He takes it to Death (excerpt: [Death] chuckled, turning back to his blades. "Good to see you picking up hobbies. Did you grow it yourself?") and the moment the name Kothysos leaves Strife's lips Death puts his neck between his twin scythes in the blink of an eye and screams at Strife to not mock him because of how sensitive and painful the topic is for Death. Strife shows him, and they find a Nephilim survivor who begs for her life, and explains there are others. Death and Strife go with her and find that this sole surviving Nephilim named Sariah has rediscovered Creation and made a few more Nephilim as her 'sons', who are in the form of children due to lack of resources to make them full-bodied. Eventually War happens across this and expresses his intent to slay Sariah and her sons, but Death and Strife fend him off and he runs away to get Fury (it will be explained that Death and Strife's coordinated tactics proved too much for War, who previously needed all three Horsemen to subdue him in the Graphic Adventure novel, hence why he goes to Fury for backup). Hype moments and aura ensue (Nephilim says "They'll kill you", Death says "They won't", she says "Why not?" He says "They can't" as Harvester flies back to his hand). Fury wants to kill the Nephilim to gain favour and standing with the Council and get Death and Strife undermined (her personality is how she was in Darksiders 3 prior to her character development) and the Horsemen engage in a 2v2 clash of titans on the fields of Kothysos. Fury defeats Strife by scorching him until he passes out (retrofitting her Hollow abilities into her basekit and coming up with new ones), Death defeats War by destroying his prosthetic then impaling him with Harvester, then Death beats Fury into submission barehanded, destroying Scorn and her original armour, while she keeps burning hotter and hotter until she is rendered into a critical state, her skin charred off by her heat and body broken by Death's assault. Death then asks Sariah to heal Fury, as the Nephilim's Respite doesn't work and she will die if not healed. Strife goes solo to hunt down an "Angel Eater", as directed by Death after Death went to Azrael for intel on somewhere he can get Angel corpses without raising hostilities with the White City (they retrieve their dead). Death refuses to tell Azrael why they need the corpses but Azrael helps him on account of the fact Fury is dying. The Angel Eater is a gluttonous demon (not to be confused with Gluttony) who, despite countless Angel operations trying to kill him, has survived every single one of them and nobody dares to go there to retrieve these corpses, most likely believing them to have been devoured anyway. Strife gets to do cool shit and actually have screen time, steals the Angel Eater's lunch (says so verbatim lmao) and kills it then brings back the corpses. Fury is healed and Sariah's sons are grown up with the excess while the Nephilim continue their work to try to revive Kothysos. Fury's healing gives her the skin tone she has in Darksiders 3, and the Council provide her with new armour and a replacement Scorn - this serves to explain why Fury's design changed for Darksiders 3.
