You Again: Lessons from a future where it gets better by pragma (CarlileLovesAnime)
Fandoms: In Stars And Time (Video Game)

Summary
You can’t entirely believe this is happening in front of you, like you’re ready for some stranger to come in and shout, “And scene!”
It never comes. Time moves forward unabated.
Before they can make their fateful wish at the Favor Tree, a mysterious voice pops into Siffrin’s head and says, “Don’t do it. Just tell them how you feel.” This seems like the best of both worlds — keeping his found family without subjecting himself to time loop torture. But the problems they faced before don’t just disappear, and sometimes a fella has to make their own mistakes.

Summary
Uiscefhuaraithe (noun): the quality of coldness imparted by water; that is, the trait of having been made cold by water.
After having fallen asleep in one of Southern Vaugarde's emergency shelters, Loop wakes up to the sound of a deafening crash. Suddenly, horribly, they have a lot of time to think about their Stardust, and the perfect life he'd won--the life they wish they could have had.

Summary
You only needed to pretend to be human when you thought you had a family. But now you don’t. Now there’s nothing left to pretend for.
The four people you died for over and over again wish you were never born.
You don’t need to do anything ever again.
/
(Or: Siffrin never makes it to the king in act 5. They loop again, and again, and again, until they realize they don't need to go into the House at all.)

Summary
It starts with the stage, as it always does. A boulder, and a slapstick comedian missing his cue.
It gets much worse from there.

[LOOP XXXXX]
you don’t know how long it’s been. you don’t know half the lines that leave your mouth. they’ve long since lost meaning, like reading the same word again and again and again until it becomes gibberish. all you know is the stage and your cues. you go around in circles upon circles upon circles, a gear in the clockwork mechanism built around yourself.Bookmarked by Ephemerate

Summary
Isabeau had a lot of problems. But as long as he had a goal, had a plan? He could push it all away and focus on the task at hand and feel good about it. But now that he’s found himself in a time loop, those old problems start to rear their ugly head again, as even all the support in the world from his family can’t fix such an inherent issue when they can’t remember past a few days. In the end, he is left alone far too much with his thoughts and some feelings he wishes he couldn’t feel.

Summary
Siffrin's calling, heroic and just, comes from a sense of responsibility. When the country of Vaugarde starts to freeze in time, it feels obvious that they should act to stop it! They know a good bit of craft, they're a seasoned traveler. Even if they can't do much, he should be able to do a little.
As he had learnt, being two thumbs tall, the little things matter a lot.

Siffrin has been out of the loops for quite some time, happily traveling with their family.
So then- why does he find himself waking up in Dormont's field again?!?
And- why were their family members not following the script???

Summary
You're getting a failing grade in being Human.
There's more to it than you remembered. Having a mouth to speak, lungs to breathe, a stomach to fill.
But mouths are complex structures of meat, and the rules to breathing are contradictory, and food? Don't get you started!
And worst yet, playing the role of Siffrin is an impossible one. Your coactors are onto you.
How long until your mask slips and they discover the corpse hiding beneath?You've won the fight, but you'll always be the true loser.
Living within the body you've stolen, you'll claim your victory for as long as you can.
Get up, Loop. You've got a future to behold.

It's undeniable, you've Changed! You've Changed and you didn't want to and you'll never be the same! You replaced Siffrin with a fake, a monster, an actor! An actor, an actor, the method actor to end all method actors! You are not Siffrin!
