Silly little characters

First Impressions and Other Miracles

"How did you meet each other in the first place? Were you all like, friends with Belle before this? And that's why you're helping her beat the King? Or was the meeting a koh-in-si-dence?" "Coincidence." Siffrin corrected. Then he shrugged. "I guess you could call it that. I met everyone pretty recently. They needed help and I didn't have anything else going on." "Boring." Ouch. "What about Odile and 'sabeau?" Well that's easy! They… Huh. ... A pre-canon exploration of how each family member joined the party! Bonnie asks a question that Siffrin can't answer, but the rest of the party can.

My very first fic! and the first step into my monochromatic obsession. You can see some of those growing pains, but I'm still proud of my work and impressed I managed to finish it. If you're looking for something to scratch that pre-canon itch (written way before the artbook so some details may be iffy) you've come to the right place!

Previous Engagements

Jouvente seemed like a much nicer city when Mirabelle wasn't worrying about the apocalypse. ---- It's been well over a year since the King had been defeated; since Vauguarde had been saved; and since the Saviors themselves decided to continue travelling together. Their last stop before sailing to Ka Bue? Somewhat fittingly, it was the first city that Mirabelle entered on her quest: Jouvente, the birthplace of their resident fighter. Not that you could tell from the way he was acting - sure, he had mentioned plenty of the restaurants he was excited to treat them to, or his favorite landmarks he would take them to, but Isabeau had kept conspicuously quiet about the people from his past. If he didn't want to mention meeting up with any friends or family, well, that's his choice to make. Change knows his new family had kept larger secrets. But just because Isabeau's more than ready to leave the cities' residents behind doesn't mean that they're finished with him. And some of them are of the opinion that he's long overdue for a family reunion... ——— Isabeau’s family reunion!

My magnum opus - so far! Described as the 'Isabeau torment nexus', 'world's worst family reunion' and 'cyberbullying masquerading as an ISAT fanfic' 'a really fun time with no angst whatsovever', Previous Engagements is a completed 50k Isabeau centric fic fun for the whole family - chosen, or otherwise.

Prior Meetings

"When I was around eight or nine, we went on a vacation over summer and we took a photo of me accepting an award!" Isabeau said, pointing the picture out on the wall. "I was really, really into astronomy back then, heh, so while we were there I spent all my time huddled in the corner of the observatory." "And I didn't even realise I had entered a star charting competition? I just wanted to stay longer and it was the only way they'd let me use the space during lunch hours, ha." "I ended up winning second place, and won a…" "A…" … Huh. What was he talking about again? ----- In which Isabeau has a closer connection to the Forgotten Island than he'll ever know, and he met a certain rogue much earlier than either will ever remember. Or Isabeau and Siffrin childhood friends flashback! This is technically the extended cut of Chapter 8 (and Chapter 5) of Previous Engagements, but can be read as a standalone one shot.

Prior Meetings is the little sister of Previous Engagements, where I expand on one of the fic's flashbacks set on the forgotten Island. Part of the series 'Scheduling Conflicts'. It stands alone as a one shot, but I'd reccomend reading the full fic so I get more views for more perspective: be ready for gratuitous headcannons, fan made family members and my take on Siffrin's original name!

Under and Over and Over and Under

Having been trapped for a few-too-many loops, Siffrin started to feel like nothing was going to change in their never ending play. How were they supposed to predict that the universe would put something so large to block their path to freedom? Literally? 'Something' the size of a mountain. Literally. Most would argue that the only way to go once you've hit rock bottom is up, but Siffrin would argue that you can always dig down. Underground, even. ---- An In Stars and Time and Undertale crossover!
