Summary
A glitch in Origin, to put it lightly, complicates the process of restarting time. Well, it does, technically, sort-of restart time, just not in the way Ouroboros exactly want it to.
Essentially dead unless I regain the spark - apologies.

Summary
A few days after his destruction of Suisou Academy, Kumagawa Misogi was attacked by a rogue minus with a grudge who Puts Him On A Bus to another manga. Still having access to the empty classroom, and still convinced he can find an answer for Anshin'in, he marches on as vigilante Minus and quirkless Eternal Transfer Kumagawa Misogi. Is the answer at Aldera? He thinks he's found it.

Summary
As he awoke from his catnap in the burnt rubble of his now former apartment, clinging onto his now forever dead mother figure, hacking up smoke and ash, Midoriya Izuku, or rather, Kumagawa Misogi’s first thought was the anticlimax to the rather turbulent ride his (unbeknownst to him) father figure was currently putting him on.
「Ah. I’m being manipulated.」

Summary
"There surely must be a mistake," The Merchant's voice masks a small, unsure chuckle, as if she cannot believe what's written on the paper. Miklan continues to stare at the floor, brow knit in barely restrained fury, his lip curled back into a snarl. "Surely this is the price for hire per month, correct?"
"Oh, no," Lady Alicia Gautier laughs, the sound sending a chill down the Merchant's spine. "No, Lady Witch. That's the price to *own* him."
A traveling merchant visits the Gautier household to sell her goods and to ask for a knight to be her bodyguard. The Gautiers quickly offer her their oldest, Crestless son, Miklan, not as a contract, but to be sold.
It’s hard to be friendly with someone who hates your guts. But all this time on the Fodlan roads gives them time to know each other better. And to watch the country change around them.
Thus begins a long fifteen years.
Pre-3H, continues through Academy Phase, and into BL route post timeskip. Canon divergent.

Bookmarker's Notes
Captures the authorial voice of DE's prose. Original aspects are tasteful and grounded in both works. Well-written, well-formatted. Blends the metafictional aspects of StP into DE without much issue. Very intriguing and had me pull an all-nighter after losing track of time whilst reading it.
