Re:Turning to Sender in a World That Watched Him Die: Free Shipping Included!!

Summary:

After the conclusion of Arc 6, Subaru and gang finds themselves scooped up from the Pleides Watchtower from the murky grasps of the Witch of Envy

Just when its shadowy figure eclipses that of the entire tower's structure —Blaring light of awesome proportions rain down from above.....

Next thing Subaru knows, he's back to his old life...back in Japan

AND WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE COSPLAYING AS HIM??!

TL;DR: Earth has watched all but the last few scenes from Arc 6: Corridor of Memories. It's a Back to Earth AU Post Reaction Fic!

Natsuki Subaru centric, where he will navigate in a land all too familiar, that's all of a sudden, WAYY too familiar with him as well

Chapter Text

Skip and check out the next, 2nd chapter, I've rewritten stuff there, but wanted to keep this up for the comment's sake.

To answer a few frequently asked questions-

1. This fic occurs after the end of the main events of Arc 6: Corridor of Memories. Specifically, just before Subaru is transported to Vollachia.

2. I will be making plenty of OCs for this fic, it comes with the nature of it, being the wide, wide world afterall. There will be a few cameos featuring other famous fictional characters or real people of interest, but they will not overstay their welcome and serve as simple plot points.

3. I will be keeping the script style of writing, as this is the writing style I'm most comfortable with and easiest to get my intentions across. If I've made a failure with it, please stick by me, I'll correct it.

4. Earth has watched until arc 6, fyi

5. Any suggestions in the plot would be appreciated as well. I'm trying to be as faithful to the characters and to the world itself. 


EDIT: I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD ADD MULTIPLE INSPIRATIONS??? HOW COULD I LEAVE OUT THE ORIGINAL INSPIRATION, FEOPYR

I refreshed that fic every other day for multiple months. And I added their fic so late...MB

Notes:

Heya, I wanted to be completely transparent and preface that while not generated, I did use AI in this fic, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN
(sorry jelly im stealing your format.)

1. Editing, I used Grammarly throughout the whole process as it watched over the content I wrote in a doc file
2. Writing advice: You don't know how many times I turned to Gemini for surprisingly, the mundane things
A. Prompt: "Would the person who manned the convenience store from before still be the same person who mans the convenience store even after a year and a half later? Im thinking of Japanese labor standards in the context of re zero" Yes word for word.
B. I did ask for advice on how to more accurately depict the characters and some settings, but all plotlines are written and thought up by me
3. Not an AI thing, but I worked closely with the light novel for some scenes, not copied them, but was inspired by their flow and led with my own direction after.

Anyway, please smite me if it's ass, I will try to improve, but if the idea is ass, it's lowkey just wraps

Either way, let me know!
