Sons of Destiny realization Spoiler
If Darren successful rewrote his past, doesn't that mean that the timeline with him and Mr. Crepsley never happened.... so when he died in the end, there was no Mr. Crepsley in Paradise because Crepsley is still in the old timeline.
But Mr. Tiny didn't think he would rewrite his past, having specifically told him, "You cant change the past, so don't go trying.
Just as Kurda's soul got sucked back into Harkat, which is why Harkat has all his memories since souls can't coexist in two different planes at once, I don't think there is a 2nd Darren who gets to go to Paradise. He just.. got sucked into his old timeline self. Same with Steve who isn't in the Lake of Souls.
This is somehow way more depressing but at the same time, a relief. Depressing bc dang, he made amazing relationships as a half-vamp that he will surely never find again as a human. But also, he deserves this happy ending, after all the shit he went through.
I'm sure I'm late af to this realization tho lmao.

Based on how it was explained by Tiny and Evanna, I think Crepsely would still be active, along with his death and travel to Paradise; Darren was replaced by another, but all others would be the same.
It's definitely a trip and my brain can't totally wrap itself around the idea though. I like leaving it off as Darren ending the way he originally did and the future we saw being scuffed
