    Summary

    It was something that should have been left behind, something that as much as he may have pleaded long ago to have been made bare to the people he loved, he absolutely could not let be known. But what will a lingering and pertinent sorrow, acting as a catalyst entail for those conflicting desires? What will it mean for those he promised to protect, from the world itself and his own secrets?

    An alternate take on the story of Re:Zero, branching off from the ending of Arc 9.

    Summary

    There’s no good reason for Susie, of all people, to be barging into Noelle’s room. And it makes no sense why she’s the one who ends up doing it; Kris is the childhood friend—which makes them the obvious choice for a stupidly sappy rescue—and Ralsei’s like… basically one of those baby blankets, the kind with a dumb fluffy stuffed animal attached. So shouldn’t he jump at the chance to make friends or be a goody-goody or whatever?

    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    Friendship, like tea, is better when made like his mom makes it— late night and sugar sweet, and with a whole lotta patience. Or maybe it just takes actually talking to the other person. Subaru’s still figuring it out.

    (Or, Subaru and Garfiel have a conversation the night after arc 4, guest-starring Otto.)
