Summary
On Monday, Siffrin no-middle-name no-last-name wakes up, blinking their single eye in light that streams in through the curtains of the inn room, and decides they’re going to kill themself. It would not, after all, be the first time. Still, though, it’s been just upwards of a year since their last performance, and they need practice to get into the groove of it again.
~~~
In which, in a "Siffrin breaks the loops in Act 5 without making up with his friends" au, Siffrin decides to commit suicide and ends up in a new time loop. His friends are in it as well. Surely they won't have any objections to Siffrin's death!!! Not.

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
“Something’s wrong,” you gasp out, finally. It sounds sickeningly familiar. Something’s broken, something’s failing, rotting. “Something’s wrong with the loops.”
Loop considers this, or at least they seem to. The silence makes them seem almost thoughtful, for a few moments, tilting their head at you. “With the loops,” they echo, sounding far too skeptical for someone with the form and abilities they have.
The loops don’t follow the same order as before. Why or how is anyone’s guess. (Five fractures of the loop, and the one final piece.)

Summary
"Researcher, please," they almost-whisper. "Hate me all you want for not telling you and I'll deserve it, but I– I can't. I can't. I don't want to say it again."
…
Ah.You swallow. You organize your puzzle pieces in your head, and fit them together; take it apart, reorganize them differently, try again; try again—it's the same shape, every time. You agree, you think, that it should be Siffrin that tells you of his experience, but Loop was involved too. Loop is feeling effects too. Loop has their own side in this.
(In the middle of the final night spent at the Clocktower, Odile speaks with the mysterious new addition to her party.)

Summary
Madame Odile came out of her tent and joined the group, Crafting book in hand. “What's happening?”
Isabeau smiled awkwardly. “I thought I saw something, but let me check again, I'm pretty sure it was nothing!”
“Wait, what do you think you saw?”
“It's kinda embarrassing, but--”
A darkless blur dashed out of the tent. Siffrin skidded to a stop in front of the party, spun on their heel, and unsheathed their dagger.
He was followed by Siffrin, Siffrin, Siffrin, and Siffrin.
---
Having resumed their quest for the final Orb after Siffrin lost an eye, it seems the party can't catch a break. A group of strange Sadnesses are copying Siffrin, using the memories each party member has of him. Can everyone work through their false impressions and find the real Siffrin?

Summary
You hear sniffling as the warmth of your Stardust surrounds you as they hold you close. Sobbing as everything starts getting numb.
Closer.
You bring your Stardust close and press them against you, letting them finally rest all of their weight on top of you.
Closer...
The thought comforts you, knowing you Stardust made it, you sure didn't after all. But that's ok. One of you made it, you're at peace with that.
You can't feel anything, Stardust's sobs are getting more quiet.
You feel a tug on your stomach...
And..

Summary
He looks so small, Mirabelle thinks, lying there. Eye closed, hands over his chest like he’s in a casket. Their expression is almost calm. There’s no fear on their face, no hurt, no sorrow. Just quiet acceptance. She hates that look. It’s worse, she decides. Worse than if they looked pained.
“Why?” Mirabelle whispers. She isn’t sure who she’s asking. Siffrin? Herself? A God who won't answer? "Why did you do this? Why now, why like this? Why didn’t I notice?"
Siffrin dies. The loop does not end.

Summary
“I know this is like, super fucking weird,” he says with a small southern accent, adjusting a bag over his shoulder. “Letting a dude you’ve never met before into your house and all. I swear I’m not like… the fucking Zodiac Killer or anythin’ like that.”
“I don’t really care,” you say honestly, overly tired. “Even if you are a murderer as long as you clean up all the blood you’re good in my book.”
Dave breathes out a small laugh, exhaling once through his nose. “The bar is too low, dude.”

Summary
"What is it? What is it?" Nepeta presses right up against his shoulder to get a better look.
"It's a cassette." Karkat is dumbfounded, "Where the shit do you even get a cassette?""Is there a note?"
"No, nothing." He checks the packaging one last time. There's not even a return address.
"Any idea who would send you a cassette?"
"Fuck if I know." Karkat says, "Definitely not John or Jade, though I guess Jade might have access to one. But she would have covered it in stickers or something, not just left it blank. Sollux would have sent a disk, if anything. He'd probably have just emailed me a file instead of going to all this trouble anyway."
"Well, whoever it is, they really don't want you to know that it's from them." Nepeta is inspecting the tape, "This is crazy. This is like..." Suddenly, her big, brown eyes seem to light up, "This is just like a rom-com! A mysterious tape... From a lover!"

“........I’m sorry, my friend.”
“i’m sorry, my friend, who?”
A sigh filtered through the door. Sans almost imagined he could feel the breeze of it.
“I’m sorry, my friend who has been so kind as to attempt to cheer an old lady who is currently beyond cheering. I should have known better than to visit today.”

Summary
Unbidden, you imagine joining Siffrin and Isabeau at the booth, linking your arm with Siffrin's at the elbow and twining your fingers together like you so often want to. You picture a strained, begrudging smile. A hollow-cheerful oh, you're here. A cutting-off, a missed step, a broken ease.
(Oblivious, out of place, in the way.)
Your footsteps slow.
You aren't sure you should be here anymore.

Summary
You and Odile on the other side….
For you, it was a constant mockery of the very same god that thought so lowly of yourself and your culture. The god that basically bragged to you that they knew how the loops would end, but continued to let yourself and your family suffer through them for their own entertainment. The constant pain you felt knowing how easily they could dismiss you and your beliefs based purely on the fact that it was so powerful it destroyed itself and its entire existence.
But you were fine!
Siffrin suddenly realizes they have a whole culture they left behind. The rest of Vaugarde doesn't seem to care.
