[Re:Zero] Forgotten Loops

Summary:

Fate; something Natsuki Subaru has learned to defy, time and time again.

To die, to return, and to begin anew. An endless cycle in which, as long as he retains the will to press forward, no future remains beyond his reach.

And yet... what if, for once, fate weren't the only thing to change?

What happens when something unthinkable alters the course of events?

There are paths that were never trodden.
Endings that never came to be.
And, above all, loops that once seemed impossible.

||All characters and credits belong to Tappei Nagatsuki||
||I do not own any of the characters||

Chapter 1: Aclarations

Chapter Text

Hello everyone. Before we begin with the first chapter, I need to clarify a few things.

1. As mentioned in the description, this fanfic will explore loops that would seem impossible within the main story, scenarios where, if a character were to act differently, the course of events would shift accordingly.

For this reason, these loops differ from the "IF's". In this case, it is not Subaru who alters the events; rather, it is the actions of other characters that trigger these divergences.

2. Throughout these loops, I will avoid inventing rules that do not exist in the canon. My goal is to remain as faithful as possible to the original work.

3. Similarly, Subaru will not possess any powers or abilities beyond those he already has. I will work within the established concepts, exploring the various possibilities that arise from it.

4. Each chapter will cover a small segment of a loop, but if any particular scenario sparks enough interest, I may develop it into a standalone story to explore that divergence in greater depth.

With that clarified, I hope I’ve piqued your curiosity so that you’ll keep reading :)
