    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.

    Summary

    This is not fair. It’s not fair, it’s not fair. Even if it’s with difficulty, they can somehow bear it if they’re caught in the crossfire of all this. But. Berdly. Noelle. They…

    This shouldn’t have happened.

    This never should’ve happened. Noelle shouldn’t have been forced to kill an entire city’s worth of Darkners. She shouldn’t have been forced to cast a spell that froze Berdly solid into a thick crystal of ice. Berdly shouldn’t be lying here lifelessly.

    They can do something about at least one of these things. They need to get him to the hospital.

    In the aftermath of Snowgrave, Kris rips out the SOUL lodged inside them and leaves through the window to try and fix at least some things. This includes shambling across the town to get Berdly, still-unconscious in the computer lab, somewhere safe.

    Kris's terrible awful no-good very bad night; set in Chapter 2 but written with the insight obtained in Chapter 4 of Kris being the one to bring Berdly to the hospital.

    i never make posts like this, but i feel like this is necessary to warn others to steer clear of this person. i’m tired of people supporting and defending him in this fandom when his victims try to warn other people. i’m calling out @qingqiu on twitter for his abuse of me and other people when i was a minor.

    Summary

    A wildly premature wife plot strikes Shen Qingqiu out of nowhere, incidentally granting him the opportunity to change the upcoming plot at the relatively low cost of his cherry. He has the wrong crisis about it.

    In the aftermath, the Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect take the evidence they've been granted, reach perfectly plausible conclusions, and somehow manage to run with them in the best possible direction.

    Summary

    “You were locked in. No choice but to go forward. They had decided to hear you out even after you became some kind of Wish Craft-powered half-Sadness or whatever blinding happened when you were fueled by nothing but despair and desperation. Surely they would stick around after hearing you were a different kind of monster…?”

    ---

    After the loops, Siffrin confides in his party another secret they have been keeping.

    Their new boyfriend is extremely normal about this.

    Or, Isabeau has been reading too many of Mirabelle’s books and is too self-aware to ignore how he reacts when Siffrin gets a little scary. Siffrin is still repressing the bloodthirsty parts of himself out of fear, while craving something new. Isabeau getting hunted down by them scratches an itch for both.

    Summary

    Loop's wish has different wording, and this makes a few things a little different. Mostly it means the Researcher of the group is now looping, while Stardust remains blissfully ignorant. This is certainly the main difference noticed by Loop, who looks at the evidence before then before assuming they're to play stagehand to the Researcher solving of the mystery in record time.

    But roles are tricky. Very nearly tricky as wishes.

    Sponsor, stagehand, lead actor, audience, critic, fool, traveler, ex-scissor wizard turned star - how absurd for a human to contort themselves to fit a single 'role'! How cruel to for a person to find that no role they can Change themselves enough to fit!

    Ah, but there's no time to wallowing, not when you've one more wish to make - one more desperate GRAB at hope for the play ending, now the greatest ever cosmic joke has been replaced by a smarter actor then you could become even after a million loops.

    One, two, THREE - breath in…and out, take a bow to the audience and ready yourself.

    The show has once again begun ~ !

    Summary

    Fate does not make choices, provided it exists at all. The universe merely exists, unmoving: and thus, under many circumstances, the reason why anyone can feel special when confronted to the extraordinary is nothing short of pure happenstance.
    Hal has been fascinated with the museum’s statue all morning. When this new exhibit suddenly opens its eyes to stare right back into theirs, their curiosity can only grow exponentially… and so will their list of problems.

    Or: What if Hal was the one being paired, instead of the usual protagonist?
