   Summary

   Robert knew better than to enter glowing cottages in suspicious not-woods. Every horror story, fairy tale, and survival instinct agreed on that.

   But he was already dead.

   So might as well.

   --------------------

   Or Robert dies embarrassingly.

   Then is revived by cosmic Editors, labeled a Plot Hole, and is shoved back into the past with all his memories intact.

   So he acts accordingly and decides to flirt with danger, probability, and anyone who gets in his way.

   The timeline was going to survive.

   HR? Negotiable.
