    Summary

    After recovering a bit from the loops, Siffrin takes Isabeau up on his offer to 'practice.'

    Of course it doesn't go as planned. Nothing ever does, does it?

    Summary

    You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.

    The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.

    It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.

    It’s. Alive.

    … You’re alive.

    The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.

    ✧✧✧

    In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

    Summary

    Siffrin and his party's journey to Bambouche, and how he needs to learn to deal with what happened to him during the loops. Between nightmares, regaining his humanity, and his new-found PTSD, Siffrin is sure he's being a burden to his family. They, however, think otherwise.

    Hopefully they'll make it to Bambouche in one piece.

    Or

    Siffrin is traumatized and his friends love him a whole lot.

    Summary

    "Dan had to refrain from treating him like a patient. He’d learned that lesson the hard way. The once restless, invulnerable man now wore his fatigue like a pair of glasses. He’d stopped using re-agent a couple months ago. "
