NOTE: the sequence regarding the "post hangman game" and "hurt director" was so intense i decided not to put the catch up post in the main tag. it didn't feel appropriate given its content. you can look at it here. First posts reference this event.

failed mira friendship quest: temporary lost custody, discussion of sex/relationships, discussion of pregnancy, brief mention of a body horror scene, extreme religious views, (critiquing change belief), internalized ableism, internalized acephobia

payment loop: death, violence, mutilation (loss of ear), injury, gore, blood, blood curse, self sacrifice, internalized ableism

Can you not be like... "that" for a minute?

(Dusk tears away from you, backing away.)

L-Like what?! I'm sorry, what did I do?!!

No, I mean, it's fine! I like your touch! You can still hold my hand!

(You lean over and grab his hand back.) (Dusk squirms, still uncertain.)

Just... don't look at me like "that".

I... don't know what you're referring to, dawn...

(...Are they being serious?)

Like "THAT", dusk. Like you love me and think I'm the most precious thing in...

In the... whole... world...

Eugh... dusk.

I'll... stop...

No, I'm overreacting. I told you, I'm fine with you liking me. It's just...

Are you sure? You don't sound like you're okay with it.

No, I am! It's just different!

And I don't want anything to change between us. Can we agree this doesn't mean anything and go back to how we were?

I can agree to that. But you need to tell me when you're uncomfortable. I don't want to ever do that to you.

(You decide the best way to do this is to go for it.)

AHHH!???

(Stars, you needed dusk.) (You feel it's been too long since you were last together.)

(You just want!!! Some normal time with them! Without worrying or being scared!!!!)

Get closer, you big dummy. I missed you too.

Yaaaaawn!

Heh... sleepy-

Yaaaaawn!

(Now THAT was a cat yawn.) (Hah. Kitty dusk.)

We should get up and do things.

(You begin to press all your weight against them.)

Like...

Oof!

Or like not. We could stay down here and not do anything.

(That's what you thought.)

Hmm... not much sunlight, but it's still good...

Hmmmm....

(You can't help but close yo u r e y e . . . )

(...?)

(Oh...) (The two of you did end up sleeping.)

(You sigh deeply, charmed by how dusk's hair moved from your breath.)

(You can understand why dusk is addicted to touch.) (You're not as bad as him, thank the stars for that, but you get it.)

(Fusing isn't all that cracked up to be.) (You wouldn't be able to do this with dawn/sunrise.)

(Why would he want to be you so badly?) (Isn't this better?)

(?!!!)

(You jolt up, which has the unfortunate side effect of throwing dusk off you.)

Hwhwhah?

So AU idea is that in sasasap it was Odile who stuck in timeloop. But in isat it still Siffrin! And now THE Miscommunication Team works together. And it goes not very well. Despite the fact that Odile already figures out about wishcraft staff... Oh, yeah, she looks like gem but it is sill wishcraft starguide.

Also yes she pick up name "Time" becuase she love puns and think they're so funny /ref and regret about it immediately. (Because while Xeno comes up with really good angst, my specialty is cosmic jokes).

...That was a waste of time.

At least we didn't get killed.

(Dusk fist bumps you for that one.) (Okay? Sure???)

What's next? Anywhere you want to go?

No, I'd better get my talk with Isabeau over with first.

Oh... that's rough.

It shouldn't be a big deal but…

(While you don't recall the conversation itself, you always have to seek him out to start it.)

(You've done it so many times.) (Sometimes, you'll do it and then die before getting to the Labyrinth.)

(It's.)

(Annoying.)

Even if you're not really "conscious" for it, your body still feels all of that. I'd imagine that must get exhausting.

(You... kind of seriously hate doing it, yeah.) (But it makes Isabeau happier.) (What else could you do?)

I'll meet you at the broken bridge later. I need some time to think over how I want to be introduced tonight.

(Oh? He's going to pick a different intro tonight?)

Alright. See you later.

(The two of you wave casually.) (He smiles as he walks away.) (You smile back.)

(You like dusk.)

(That's not a grand statement.) (It's not unique or special.) (It just is.)

(You like them regardless of what you would call them.) (Doppelgänger. Friend. Weirdo.)

(You don't need a label for it.) (Whatever it is, it works.)

.. No, no Mira mouse, i know. Mouseabelle was my first thought too but i can't have her be a mouse and everyone else human thats so sad .

Still a time loop - Siffrinella must leave his magical hat that only fits their head at the ball for the prince to find him for the loops to end, realizes he's allowed a happily ever after.

Mira and Bonnie aren't evil only maybe a little mean sometimes.. Mira grew up more privileged and doesn't realize the endless asking for help or doing something wrong on accident isn’t actually helping; Bonnie is a preteen, probably calls Sif "Sootfrin", they're a little evil canonically so this is believable.

Stepfather King is insistent Mira must marry the Prince, Mira, of course, feels no good about this but pretends it will be like her fairytale books and everything will be okay. Bonnie is too young but still wants to go to the ball to eat the food and have fun. Both give Siffrin an endless amount of tasks to do before the ball in addition the family's daily chores.

Fairy godmother Loop !! Loop with fairy wings and a wand. Probably puts Siffrinella in different outfits each night just for fun. Plays innocent/stupid about the loops, doesn't help too much. Always monologing about true love.

Prince Isa and his royal adviser Odile, this is very funny to me. Odile thinks Isa is childish and silly but still loves and supports his weird fantasies.

Prince Isa falls for Siffrin everytime they come to the ball, chases and tries to woo them every loop in different ways, but Siffrin always leaves, thinking he is unworthy or unfit to be the Prince's partner, of course until the final loop where he gives in letting himself be happy and leaves behind the hat for Isa to find him later.
