    Summary

    Loop's wish has different wording, and this makes a few things a little different. Mostly it means the Researcher of the group is now looping, while Stardust remains blissfully ignorant. This is certainly the main difference noticed by Loop, who looks at the evidence before then before assuming they're to play stagehand to the Researcher solving of the mystery in record time.

    But roles are tricky. Very nearly tricky as wishes.

    Sponsor, stagehand, lead actor, audience, critic, fool, traveler, ex-scissor wizard turned star - how absurd for a human to contort themselves to fit a single 'role'! How cruel to for a person to find that no role they can Change themselves enough to fit!

    Ah, but there's no time to wallowing, not when you've one more wish to make - one more desperate GRAB at hope for the play ending, now the greatest ever cosmic joke has been replaced by a smarter actor then you could become even after a million loops.

    One, two, THREE - breath in…and out, take a bow to the audience and ready yourself.

    The show has once again begun ~ !

    Summary

    Boba Fett likes to be in control. Din Djarin feels more out of control with every passing day. Giving control over to Boba would make both of them happy. Din just doesn't understand why that has to be so complicated.

     

    (Or, rebuilding an entire culture is hard. Boba helps, more or less.)

    Summary

    Loki dies on Svartalfheim. Then he wakes up. It does not take long before Hela seizes the opportunity to offer Loki a deal: end Thanos's life in exchange for his own. Loki knows defeating Thanos will be no easy feat and so a conversation with the Norns becomes part of the bargain.

    The Norns tell him three things:
    1. His only path to success lies in utilising the Infinity Stones
    2. The Infinity Stone contained within the Tesseract – the only stone he will ever wield – will not be enough on its own
    3. The name of a potential ally who has the highest capacity to both wield another one of the Infinity Stones and collaborate alongside him

    And that name... That name is Tony Stark.

    ***

    Alternatively, the one where Loki and Tony try to build a time machine.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the destruction of the Eclipse Canon, Shadow has to deal with an unexpected event: his survival.
    Newly fallen to Earth, he forms a simple plan:
    One: get his limiter rings. Two: find out if Sonic (and Tom) survived. Three: go into hiding. Four: ??? Five: profit!

    One problem: just when Shadow is feeling recovered from his fall from space, his powers begin to glitch out. And getting them back under control will likely force him to do the one thing he doesn't want to do - come face to face with Sonic and everyone else he hurt.
