  Summary

  (Work in progress, please be patient. Updates are infrequent.)

  As Stanley continues through the endless time loops of The Parable he uncovers that something's wrong. The Narrator is constantly disappearing at random points of the story and Stanley has no idea how to help. Ending after ending goes by and it only gets worse, and the tension between the two only seems to escalate. Will they save their companionship along with Stanleys sanity? Or will things just continue to spiral out of control?

  Basically a shit ton of angst, hurt feelings and trauma. Buckle up and enjoy the ride because this fic is genuinely going to be one of the darkest things I've written. The later chapters will have a lighter feel to them, but that's not gonna be for a while. I intend to make people cry with this one.
