This. Chris I'm not speaking to you I'm just speaking in general: You might commonly hear it referred to as a marce, as Jeff Glover and Bill Cooper learned this variation (falling on your side and walking in) from Marc Laimon at Cobra Kai.
I actually find the marce to be a more powerful finish than the standard darce from the top unless you're stepping all the way to full mount to finish. And that can be rough on your partners necks, so I use the marce finish a lot. The only risk is that sometimes you can get stuck underneath the opponent and if you're unable to drop them onto their side to walk in and finish you can be in trouble.
It's important to learn some good ways to base back out or roll them over your head and come back on top in case you fall under them and can't drop them to their hip for the finish. All in all it's a fantastic choke. It really gets your shoulder sealed up behind theirs so it usually gives novice darcers a cleaner blood choke than the finish from the top.

Yeah if anyone wants detailed marce and darce setups and finishes check out Jeff Glover's Darcepedia and Ryan Hall's Arm Triangles. Both are great dvd sets.
