Summary:

When Zorian and Zach encountered otherworldly divine beings in this new world, they were worried about a lot of things. Being crushed like insects, hunted down as invaders, having their magic stolen and experimented on. What Zorian absolutely was not expecting was two babies being left on their doorstep.

The crossover-itis worms in my brain won. All it cost were some real life responsibilities

Summary:

When a copy of Zorian was made to serve in all time loops, he didn't consider it as a form of immortality. But now after almost four iterations of the Sovereign Gate, he thought he made peace with that realization. But it turns out that not everyone could reconcile with his status.

I finally did it guys, I made my Celestial Warlock AU real!

Hm. I'm wondering now, having just read the end-word to the original Conference Call, if Xvim would actually be a good choice of Node user for my fic idea. I don't think Xvim would be so attached to his own life that he would sabotage Cyoria's chances against the invasion. Nor any of the main mentors. Maybe Silverlake? Yeah.

For that matter, Armsmaster is a terrible idea. Too close to Kid Win, and if I go with post-Gold Morning or something then I'd have to do a lot of consulting on Ward canon. ...he'd still be good, actually.

Hmmmm. Ok. My working title was "No Countries for Old Men" but given that Armsmaster isn't old, and Silverlake isn't a man, it's not all that great. Oh, and I haven't even seen the movie "No Country for Old Men." So maybe I should go for "distant/rejected mentor" archetypes, which would still fit most of the others.

Plus, although I really think Akura Justice was funny and would be fun to write, this is a much more fitting archetype for Northstrider. Double plus, this would really intrigue him regarding his Presence project. So he'd probably be the Node user from Cradle.

So, the new Node users I'm thinking of: Silverlake, Armsmaster, Northstrider, and Tenisent Winterscar.

Maybe I'd call it "No More Mentors" or something. Idk. Not like I'll ever get around to writing this thing.

On my fourth reread of Mother of Learning just realized looking for the other primordial prisons also went nowhere, but on the other hand we also know for certain it never would have gone anywhere to begin with since the Sovereign Gate was only attached to Panaxeth.

Honestly I think it would've been more interesting for them to have discovered the location of another prison and found it empty and all the questions and theories spurred from it, rather than inferring it from Silverlake's explanation. I don't even think we even hear more about their search after consulting Kilnfather and we didn't even read about that conversation.

I feel like both the elder elemental scenes could have been cut, but the the conversation Zach and Zorian have right before meeting Stonechild is needed to introduce the idea of physically stepping out of the loop. Now I'm not even sure what knowledge of the locations of the other primordials would even do for them in a sequel or outside of the loop in general.

The people of Cyoria need a bit of kinky stress relief, the aranea and empaths need the use of mind magic to be normalized. This solution is a win win! Right? For you it's not. Because you're the simulacrum burdened with the job.

Day Five: Simulacrum

[ersetu-gazette]

Two head canons live inside me. Zorian has dark brown hair in one, and light brown in the other. And as of today, they finally have the perfect balance.

Zorian's natural hair color is dark brown, but he dyed it light brown before entering the academy to separate himself from his brothers. To minimize his comparison with them.

And after the loop, when he begins to mend his relationship with his brothers, he stops dying it. Because he no longer feels like their shadow and just an extension of his brothers.

Summary:

Daimen's coworkers always assumed that he was overreacting to his parents meeting his fiance. Sitting in this meeting though? Daimen thought his fears were totally justified.

Cyoria under magesight and without magesight

I made somewhat of a realization about a type of story within Mother of Learning that needs to be more fully explored.

So, many people love I Win (II) with how we see Jornak's backstory, his inner thoughts, and most importantly, the horror of him realizing he was so massively outplayed. It's a great chapter. But that also reminds me of in Fivefold Integration my favorite chapters were either the ones where Zorian disables, arrests, and cures the victims of, Heartbreaker, the rapist supervillain, and the one where Zorian hunts down Coil like it's a horror movie.

Me loving these things in canon and fanfic so much tells me we need more fanfic of Zorian hunting down, outsmarting, and dismantling the works of supervillains. God, the idea of reading more stories and scenes from the perspective of characters I hate, reacting in horror and despair in getting their shit rocked by someone who's just more villainous than them but for good? It just gets me so excited.

Now the question is who would be the best characters to be Zorian's victims?

Zach was the last Noveda. Zach has to rebuild his house alone. Zach will make the Noveda house just as great as it was when he was a kid. Sorry, I might've lied somewhere there.

Day #1: Post Loops

Have whatever the fuck this is 😭

[ersetu-gazette]

Summary:

Zorian can't help it but wish for more. He stares at his friends and remembers the bonds he forged with copies over many loops. Zorian supposed he was lucky; he was destined to be erased, denied an afterlife, and he was surrounded by reminders on who didn't escape that fate. He owes it to them that their "real selves" get whatever support Zorian can give. Who knows? Maybe he could even be friends despite everything. It takes a long time, but eventually, his friends notice. Something's up with Zorian.
