Summary
Mirabelle is stuck in a time loop, all the way back in Dormont. She’s the only one looping and no matter how hard she tries to convince her friends of what’s going on, they just brush it off as her being over-anxious as always. She can’t seem to make much progress through the House of Change in her attempts to defeat the King and save Vaugarde, her one and only mission that she was “blessed by the Change God” to fulfill. She’s been stuck for a long time now, almost twenty loops! Oh, Change, how is someone like her supposed to do this alone?!? She just wants someone else to believe her when she tells them about the time loop, someone who can help her figure out how to escape! If only there was a person who knew a whole lot about time loops who could help.
If you're not careful, homesickness will drag you back…

Summary
"If, on the contrary, two stars should really be situated very near each other, and at the same time so far insulated as not to be materially affected by the attractions of neighbouring stars, they will then compose a separate system, and remain united by the bond of their own mutual gravitation towards each other. This should be called a real double star; and any two stars that are thus mutually connected, form the binary sidereal system which we are now to consider." - Sir William Herschel
After saving Vaugarde and leaving Dormont, Siffrin makes another wish... Loop is forced to deal with the consequences

Summary
Oh, come on, stardust. It wouldn't be an In Stars and Time story without a dozen or more content warnings, would it?
That's okay, though, because this story is all about everyone’s favorite character,
Me~!
That's right, it's all about LOOP this time. You finally get to experience my side of the story, isn't that wonderful, Stardust? Isn't it? Isn't it? Oh, I just can't wait to see how bad you feel for trying to kill me in your playthrough. You didn't have to, you know? You're just so cruel, Stardust. It's alright, I forgive you. You can't help it. It's in your small-brained nature, after all.
Teehee!
Or, In Stars and Time and Start Again (A Prologue) combined from Loop's perspective
IMPORTANT REMINDER: You absolutely must buy and play through all of In Stars and Time before reading this, and playing through Start Again, Start Again, Start Again (A Prologue) will help a lot, but I don't think it is necessary. That being said, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING FOR BOTH.

You Again: Lessons from a future where it gets better by pragma (CarlileLovesAnime)

Summary
You can’t entirely believe this is happening in front of you, like you’re ready for some stranger to come in and shout, “And scene!”
It never comes. Time moves forward unabated.
Before they can make their fateful wish at the Favor Tree, a mysterious voice pops into Siffrin’s head and says, “Don’t do it. Just tell them how you feel.” This seems like the best of both worlds — keeping his found family without subjecting himself to time loop torture. But the problems they faced before don’t just disappear, and sometimes a fella has to make their own mistakes.

Summary
Uiscefhuaraithe (noun): the quality coldness imparted by water; that is, the trait of having been made cold by water.
After having fallen asleep in one of Southern Vaugarde's emergency shelters, Loop wakes up to the sound of a deafening crash. Suddenly, horribly, they have a lot of time to think about their Stardust, and the perfect life he'd won--the life they wish they could have had.

Summary
You only needed to pretend to be human when you thought you had a family. But now you don’t. Now there’s nothing left to pretend for.
The four people you died for over and over again wish you were never born.
You don’t need to do anything ever again.
/
(Or: Siffrin never makes it to the king in act 5. They loop again, and again, and again, until they realize they don't need to go into the House at all.)

Summary
It starts with the stage, as it always does. A boulder, and a slapstick comedian missing his queue.
It gets much worse from there.

Summary
[LOOP XXXXX]
you don’t know how long it’s been. you don’t know half the lines that leave your mouth. they’ve long since lost meaning, like reading the same word again and again and again until it becomes gibberish. all you know is the stage and your cues. you go around in circles upon circles upon circles, a gear in the clockwork mechanism built around yourself.Bookmarked by Ephemerate
