If At First You Don't Succeed, Find a Loophole

by MalkyTop

Summary:

Reigen keeps dying; Serizawa keeps trying to save him.

Notes:

Hello again. I really like time loops so I think it was only a matter of time before I wrote one, ahaha.

Everything is all written out, but I'm going to be posting one loop per day (because I think it's funny). If you find this while it's in the middle of posting or has finished posting, then I'd ask you to read only one chapter per day for the fidelity of the experience, but obviously I can't stop you from doing whatever you want. This is sort of experimental. I guess you could say I am trapping you guys in time prison.

I'm probably not going to be talking much in the notes for this one, but please imagine me posting these and reading reactions with this face -> ;3c

Chapter 1: Loop 1

Reigen’s day started with a coffee and leftovers from last night. His neighbor greeted him on his way out the apartment. It was a nice spring morning, which was why he had some allergy meds in his pocket (pollen should be illegal). He saw someone jogging with an adorable Shiba during his walk to the office.

The first two clients were just massages. Then someone walked in with a cursed lamp or whatever and he changed the lightbulb and told him to come back if the curse persisted. Serizawa came in one hour after.

“You’re late,” Reigen commented, though without reproach. “Something happen?”

“Yes, well—“ Serizawa paused, staring at him. “Reigen-san, you’ve been cursed.”

“I’ve been what?” Reigen asked, and then the ceiling collapsed and dropped a safe on his head, killing him instantly.
