Summary
Caught in a compromising position that she had never expected to be in, Subaru's mind races to try and figure out why, oh why is there pair of lips pressed against hers. Her distracted mind couldn't even conceive of the gauntlet of trials already primed in her path, ignorant of the women whose designs and natures would soon entangle her.

(Re:126) "I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension" by Spriteanon

Summary
Since Re:63 is clearly not working out, let's try something, completely different from step one. No! From Zero!
Natsuki Subaru was not the kind of guy people would ever describe as fulfilled. Between abandoning the music club he once was so passionate about and locking himself in his room to practice on his guitar, never to share his music with anyone, his life was an empty, shameful thing.
However, against all logic and reason, one day he would find himself in another world like in one of those ridiculous pulp stories, only without a word of guidance to lead him.
Perhaps, only perhaps, in this new world, the sad overture of his life may yet reach its scherzo.Title is taken from the lyrics of the following song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8tRDv9fZ_c

(Re:63 Diligence IF) "Make a dragon wanna retire" or, Reveling in this Sad Song in Another World by Spriteanon for Zeivira

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!
Like enjoying lack of consequences.Main series page: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2264210

Summary
Natsuki Subaru had found herself saved from heartbreak trough the most unlikely of circumstances.
And now, that most unlikely of circumstances has invited her out on a dinner date.This fic was created as part of a Cursed Ship prompt suggested by some of my readers on Re:63's discord server (https://discord.gg/FctxNebnyP).
My prompt was one given by Shadia, one of our members there (who I hope gets back to us when her break from the Internet is over).
I won't reveal what the exact prompt was, I think you can figure it out by the end, where I'll put notes.The song from which the title was taken, is "Le Festin", which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QuVe-hjMs0
The other fics can be found in the collection linked as part of the header for this fic, but also linked here:

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.

(Re:63 EX) The only cat who knows where it's at by Spriteanon
Fandoms: Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活 | Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World (Anime)
23 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
Spriteanon makes the mistake of hastily deciding he wants to write something in time for Otto's birthday, and not only that, but write the whole thing from the POV of a cat who has no higher cognition.
Why does he do this?
Because he's a fool.First chapter takes place somewhere around the very beginning of Arc 1, possibly before it, depending on where you count it from.
Second chapter is set not long after Arc 4 of Re:63. -

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.

Making a Cat Cry in Another World: The Adventure! by Spriteanon
Fandoms: Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活 | Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World (Anime), Prequel (Webcomic)
09 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
Katia Managan is trying to escape from a perilous situation! For this reason, she attempts to use whatever is in her power to do so... Only, things don't go exactly as planned.
This is a bit of an experimental idea. Simply put, I had thought for some time, that with people in the Re:Zero fandom giving writing prompts all the time like 'What if Subaru was in X franchise instead?', why not turn it on its head, and replace Subaru? Only, who would really fit into Re:Zero without breaking the entire concept? Well, why not someone else who tried to start their life from zero in another town? Someone who isn't powerful enough to break the whole story, but who has interesting quirks to add?
So, how does this work? Is this a normal fic? Nope!
Instead, I will be taking the Kazerad approach to writing this fic, so 1) update when I want/have some extra time, 2) keep it relatively short and sweet and finally 3) continue by trying to incorporate comments on past chapters into the future!
How does that work? Well, for the most part exactly like Prequel!
You leave a comment, and then if I decide to use the comment, you get a fancy cameo in a future chapter as a voice in Katia's head!
Fun! -

Summary
Some time ago, I was told that a certain group of people really wanted a Fembaru smutfic.
Since all of Re:63 started on no greater a cause than just that, I eventually decided 'dang nab it (I think Summaries aren't hidden based on rating, so keeping it PG here), I'm going to write one'.
In the meantime, some other great Fembaru smutfics got written, most notably:
"(I will make) our stars align" by Devaedra: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33644644
And " Black and Violet" by PineappleVsStainlessSteel: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32211928
(Neither of which are directly based on Re:63 to be clear.)Regardless, I thought I should make good on my one time promise, so finally, for Christmas, I decided to finish writing it.
It ended up slightly shorter than I anticipated, but since it's literally one scene (spoilers?), 8.7k words I think suffices.In case you're wondering: Yes. Yes this is a Re:63 Extra. Which means, that this is meant to tie into one of the timelines! (Not in terms of loops, but in terms of IFs.)
As to which timeline that is, I'll leave for you to find out on your own!Season's Greetings to everyone!

Summary
With the approach of the royal selection, and Felt's imminent resignation, there's only two concerns at the forefront of Subaru's mind: Hoping that Felt chooses to remain with the Roswaal estate even after the resignation she had planned since first hearing of her candidacy; and that she, Subaru, can find a way to protect the fragile heart of the sweet, silver-haired girl whose boundless kindness is repaid with nothing but contempt and hate by the world, and who in turn locks herself away in her hopeless studies to impress people that do not deserve her.
This is Arc 3 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

Summary
Written by Spriteanon, Editor: SNUser
This is meant to be a collection of stories taking place between Arcs 2 and 3 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
Changes persist between arcs, so please begin with reading Arc 1 here, or some things will not make sense: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30718493/chapters/75808673
Note on "Mature" rating: These short stories aren't actually meant to contain any 'mature' themes or situations, but since they are part of a series that does, mostly on count of violence, I opted to mark this as Mature too.Since these are "Extra Chapters", and generally fit the same theme, I decided to break with tradition a bit, and only the Arc's title will be a song lyric, namely, this song's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BOEb4ZN_jw
The "chapter" titles themselves (though the chapters aren't meant to be in chronological order, instead are mostly self contained) do have a theme to them, but it's not as elaborate as song lyrics, and might be a bit too easy to guess if released more than one "chapter", so I'm not holding a guessing contest about them.Series

Summary
Having succeeded against all odds at the cost of two deaths in saving the young street urchin Felt, Natsuki Subaru awakes in a strange new locale, after having lost her arm in the preceding battle. Even if its mysterious return means that she yet has a chance to pursue her love of music one day, she has little clue to her whereabouts. More than anything, she wishes she could just see Felt again. However, in this honeyed trap beset by unknown dangers, it's uncertain if her song will ever reach a happy conclusion.
