Summary
Natsuki Subaru is pushed off the beaten path at the start of her journey, and onto a path far, far longer, only to emerge... In a certain kind of rebel spirit.
Original working title: "Natsuki Subaru's Bogus Disstrack Adventure"
Initially started as part of an Fic Exchange entry, it quickly grew to officially take the place of Diligence IF.
The prompt given by a member of Re:63's discord, was quite simply, to write a 'mainline' version of the canon Pride IF Subaru, which is to say, a Subaru that has failed countless times, but instead of shacking up with the Witch Cult, stuck by the people important to her, thus more or less following along the path set for her by certain conspirators.In practice, this fic's chapters focus on a different, more grizzled Subaru in the focus of things, who has grown outstandingly accustomed to her abilities, and has made peace with the fact that she's going to die countless deaths, focusing on more important things!

Summary
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Natsuki Subaru has.
This is an IF story, branching off of the end of Chapter 59 (or 64 by AO3's count) of a series retelling Re:Zero with a number of divergences. Please see the proper summary at the series's page here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2264210
Since this IF is not part of the main storyline, the song associated with its title isn't on the playlist for chapters and arcs. The song from which the title's taken in this case is Don McLean's American pie, which you can listen to here (barring region blocks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngDJIjbAvz4

Summary
Natsuki Subaru was not the kind of girl people would ever describe as fulfilled. Between abandoning the music club she once was so passionate about and locking herself in her room to practice on her guitar, never to share her music with anyone, her life was an empty, shameful thing.
However, against all logic and reason, one day she would find herself in another world like in one of those ridiculous pulp stories, only without a word of guidance to lead her.
Perhaps, in this new isekai fantasy world she can find the perfect, royal, isekai heroine life that she so clearly deserves... Perhaps.This IF diverges as early as Chapter 6 of Arc 1 in Re:63, however the contents of the very first chapter here are almost exact copy paste from there, so you can read the whole thing here.

Summary
What if Arc 2's darkest loop would have never granted Natsuki Subaru revelation?
What if all that was left to her, was an eternal cycle of death?
What if tomorrow died?Welcome to the second darkest path planned for Subaru in Re:63.
And no, do not lul yourself into the comfort of thinking that Melancholy was the worst fate available.The divergence point is during the events of "Chapter 33: And when she passed away" in Arc 2 of Re:63. (Which AO3 calls chapter 36)
You can read the whole series from here, and I recommend you do, as this fic will likely make no sense if you don't know what's going on in this alternate Arc 2.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/2264210This IF's title is taken from The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army', for which I feel the musical video's visual theme of repeating triangles fits well.

"The kind of ditty that invokes the spring" or, Rerouting this Sad Song in Another World from Zero (Re:63 Chastity IF) by Spriteanon
Fandom Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活 | Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World (Anime)
04 Aug 2025
Summary
Alternate route of Rewriting this Sad Song in Another World from Zero (Re:63). For most information on this fics (since I really don't want to have to update links/info in multiple places, I'm so Slothful, sorry) please see that series' page here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2264210
The splitting point between the two series occurs at the very end of Arc 3, leading into the first chapters of this series and the main one respectively, which I do not wish to spoil if you haven't read the story up to that point yet, so I'll leave everything else here vague!
The title of this IF series ('The kind of ditty that invokes the spring') is a quote from Cole Porter's absolute classic 'It's De-lovely' from the musical Anything Goes. One of the best recordings of it is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JniqWrnAScM
The soundtrack associated with this route can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs59D0mZZ6OwVc2NDqq_CIBHTVKmCvz7t
