Uzi has somehow found herself in a random forest, all by herself. Why? Because I feel like it.
"Wait, what's happening?"
Uzi is clearly confused, she must not be aware that I've taken control of her story and am going to use her for entertainment. Her eyes progressively getting wider, she can definitely hear me right now.
"Look, I may just be an angsty teen, but I saved the world once and can still fight you! Wherever you are..."
Here we observe Uzi's aggressive nature as she balls her fists and starts punching the air like an idiot.
"Bite me!!"
As fun as it is watching Uzi flail around angrily, I have an even better idea. This is a building that I've just made appear, see? Well, you can't see, this is a fanfiction on AO3, but imagine a wooden, abandoned, house.
"Woah, how'd you do that?!"
Uzi is now flying in a circle around the house, observing it's nature.
I'm going to also give her some lighter fluid and a match, and see what she does.
"Geez, I may be unhinged, but do you really think I'd commit fucking arson unprovoked?"
Yes, actually. There are no punishments here, and I won't tell anyone what you did. Uzi now seems to be considering this, her eyebrows slightly raised as she scratches her chin.
"Can you stop narrating everything I do?? It's getting annoying."
Well how else are they supposed to picture what you look like right now?
"They..?"
The readers of course! You're in an AO3 fanfiction, remember?
"I'm inside a fanfiction? So I'm not even the real Uzi, just a fanmade depiction of her?"
Yes, now we can see Uzi staring at her hands as she realizes her existence is a lie.
"But if I'm in a fanfiction, is the real Uzi even real either, or is she just a character in an anime or something?"
Uzi Doorman, more commonly referred to as Uzi, is the main protagonist of Murder Drones.
you're a fanmade depiction of a character in an old webseries from 2021. How are you feeling?
"This can't be real... It's a bad dream or something, right? That's always how things like this work. How do I wake up??"
The fanfic will end when you commit arson like the title says. Sound more appealing now?
"Right... So I just do what you say, and I wake up, right?"
Sure!
Now we see Uzi hesitating as she begins pouring lighter fluid all around the house and making a small trail to where she's standing.
"Your narration is really distracting."
You acknowledging me is really distracting.
"Bite me."
Uzi is now striking a match and carefully tossing it at the trail of lighter fluid. The lighter fluid catches fire, and the fire spreads to the house. You can see the reflection of the firelight in Uzi's eyes as the abandoned house slowly burns down.
"So... Once this house is gone I'll wake up, right?"
Once the house is all gone, the fanfiction will end.
"And I'll wake up..?"
I never said this was a dream, Uzi, I said this was a fanfiction.
"What's gonna happen to me when the fanfiction ends??"
Uzi's looking more panicked as the house becomes more and more charred.
"Hello??? I won't die, right??"
"Right?????"
"Narrator!!"
And now the house has burnt down with only Ash left over, and Uzi feels accomplished as it blows away.
"Wait!! What's gonna happen to me when--"
