Summary
When the worlds of Keves and Agnus began to split apart once more upon Z’s defeat, they each intended to return to their prior states. But after a sudden freeze in each, a lingering voice is forced to restore a backup of the worlds… so far back that the man who created them yet lived.
Though all should return to normal if the events of each play out identically, the backup is found to be corrupted. The voice finds no major world-threatening issues and proceeds anyway, but perhaps that was a poor choice of words.
As Noah wakes up in Colony 9, with the Sword of the End by his bedside, and Mio wakes up in Torigoth, only a few changes have occurred to the two worlds in the grand scheme of things. But though relatively few in number to the thousands of lives in each world, each life that persisted from the endless now was anything but unimportant.
After all, two very important journeys were about to begin.
*A for-fun post-ending rerun of the plots of Xenoblade 1 and 2 with Xenoblade 3's characters present, and new plot connections along the way.*

Summary
If Origin faltered in the last moments before it recreated the two worlds, perhaps it would restore them at some earlier point. Perhaps Ouroboros would find themselves flung into the past, where they would have to struggle against the great conflicts that would eventually create Aionios. In such a case, they would certainly end up in their home universes, even as time rewound... but not this time. As Mio wakes up amidst Mechon wreckage, while Noah stalks the inhospitable Mor Ardain, the far-flung heroes will need to figure out where to even start. But hey, maybe it won't be all bad.
If Where We Don't Belong is an examination of Xenoblade 3 characters in the stories of their home universes, consider Off By One the exact opposite - a fun alternative story where Origin somehow went even more wrong than the original story. Currently a one-shot.

Summary
“No… No, I’m not meant to be here! There’s no way that monster managed to-”
“Kill you? Yes, you are dead, Ebonair Scully. The Mind Flayer has made sure of that."
Though he would hardly have called himself a hero, an adventurer in the Undermountain has been killed defending his party from his unfortunate fate. Yet the moment his consciousness fades, he finds himself in a featureless purgatory, badgered by the incessant questioning of a strange phantom. In his stubbornness, he still hopes for an escape from this fate... but is this all just a charade?
(Or, the short story I wrote in response to the death of my D&D character)

Summary
Through the years since the two worlds were reunited, a special holiday took form, one where friends and family exchange gifts to show their affection for one another. But just how did this Unity Day come to be? Come on a journey through the generations, from the Queens’ first gifts to the far future, and see just how it progressed through the years.
Or, the Xenoblade christmas that I invented with far too much post-game theorycrafting, espoused in generational vignettes.

Summary
The time of the Phantom Thieves had come and gone. However, Akira Kurusu had made it; he had raised a family, and was content to retire into his golden years.
Then the world reverted to April of 2016.
Once more, Akira was trapped in an unjust game...and there was no telling as to what changes there were.
The worst part? Akira's experience as an adult makes dealing with life as a teenager rather unbearable...and that's not even getting into the stuff he's forgotten over many years...
But Akira can make it; after all, losing isn't an option for the leader of the Phantom Thieves.
[A story where Joker grew old beyond the time of P5 Vanilla...but now finds himself going through New Game+ in the world of P5 Royal.]
[Chapter 62 Update (10/25/2025): We cover November the 6th. Among other things, Akira gets a cool watch that may or may not be a Chekhov's Gun.]
