Starcrossed Strangers

Hello! Looking through @sharkylass's au In Repetition And Change again I had gotten the energy to try my hand at making a short oneshot based off what sharky has shared as well as my own ideas. You can also find it on AO3 if that is preferred. Enjoy.

The wind feels nice on your hair as it flows past you.

It is quiet, the rest of the party has already gone to bed, leaving you to your thoughts. It surprises you sometimes, how easily you can try to forget why they aren’t the same as the party you remember.

…

Of course, factually they are, same faces, same smiles, same tears and glares, Siffrin’s puns are the same, Mirabelle’s kindness is undoubtedly hers, Odile is observant as always, and Bonnie is the same kid you all love. Yet it isn’t the same, because it is you who Changed.

Again and again and again and again until there was only the parts of yourself that you had buried away. The parts that were rotting, breaking, failing-

. . …

Seedling has Changed too, but it is different with him. He is still Isabeau, yet you are….not.

Seedling’s earring dings on your cloak as you continue down the path, watching the darkless sands of the beach get closer.

It is strange to be outside of Vaugarde, after so long within Jouvente, so long travelling the country, so long in Dormont, the House, that Blinding Tree. But it is nice. To see more, to travel, seeing the party so happy, seeing Seedling so happy, after it all.

Maybe even seeing yourself happy, sometimes.

Yet it is not all carefree travels, sadly. The party and you have been informed that there has been peculiar spikes of unidentifiable craft in parts of the world, with the closest being near the city you are visiting. You don’t want to jump to conclusions, but you can see the worry in your Seedling’s eyes. The possibility of what craft this is.

…you ignore the stares of the stars above as you feel the sand at your feet.

It feels nice underneath you, shifting and Changing, something you have experienced too much of yet are desperate to have more. You just needed to get away from them all for a bit, to think through it all and see if you can help them.

It is growing darker, the stars beginning to get brighter as they shine within the night sky.

…

…?

Something is glowing by the docks. What…?

You step forward, watching as the glow flickers in the distance. It can’t be a lantern; nobody would craft something so bright at this time. Likely not a light for ships either, this is not a harbor that larger boats would sail towards unless it is an emergency.

You get closer. As you do you begin seeing more than just the glow. It looks like a bright light, spanning outside of its source in all directions, connecting to….

…

To a lightless body like yours. Is this the source of that craft?

You step onto the dock, your sandals making a small thunk on the wood. The source startles, turning quickly to look at you with a scissors sign ready.

They…they look like you used to, eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed on an otherwise featureless face. The star in their chest thrums with craft, the batches of constellations entwining the rest of their body as you continue to stare. A Vaugardian coin is held within their left hand.

You feel their eyes on you before glancing down at the coin, lifting it up to their chest as it flickers away. Something about the way they move feels so familiar to you, just like-

“Ah, pardon me, I didn’t hear your approach.”

Their eyes have squinted to look like they are smiling, their hands clasped together as they look you up and down. Your silence makes them falter for a moment before they continue on.

“My, struck speechless at the sight of me, how surprising~” You blink, trying to process the past few moments before opening your mouth.

“Apologies, I was just…not expecting anyone out here.” “You don’t have to lie you know, I can wager it is a surprise to find someone with as shining of a personality as myself, especially one that looks so….familiar.”

You look down at your hands, a similar shade as the strangers in front of you, a reminder of what you have gone through. What you have failed and survived.

“Yes. I can admit I did not think I would find anyone who looks like me, given the reason’s why.”

“I imagine, it’s not often you see someone touched by the Universe like us. What brings you here this wonderful evening sunsprout!”

Sunsprout? Hm, you suppose given your looks you can see the plant connection, but why the sun? You look at them, feeling that familiarity grow within your chest.

“I was just out for a walk, trying to think about the recent phenomenon that has been talked about.” “Oh~ Recent phenomenon you say? I am unfortunately a touch out of the loop on recent events these days, care to share.” They blink cutesy at you, leaning forward as if waiting for gossip. You tilt your head to the side.

“It is being shared that there are unknown spikes of craft emerging, with no one truly figuring out what is causing it. I am out here with my…allies to see if we can figure it out.”

You focus your attention back on them, your right hand fiddling with the earring on your cloak. They follow your movement and still, staring down at the item in your hands. You continue.

“Now I could be incorrect here, but someone such as yourself must have a decent grasp on craft types beyond common knowledge. Do you have any leads on this?”

They stay silent for a moment, before turning to look out at the water behind them. It ripples against the docks, the waves a quiet backdrop as the star seems to think. You see a flicker of something in their right eye before they snap back to you with their eyes closed. A strained smile if you were to guess.

“I can’t say I do sunsprout~ But I would be willing to help out. I don’t have much to do anyway and I have been finding myself growing bored.”

You…look at how they hold themselves. You can’t be sure, but if they are who you think they were then...

…

“More help would always be reliable, especially when investigating new areas of craft. My name is Roboro, they/he/it if you would.”

…you can’t let them go. Especially if you can help them like the others have done for you. What kind of person would you be…

“Of Course, sunspout. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance~”

…If you didn’t try to help a fellow Savior lost to time.

“You can call me Loop!”

Whoops oh no I dropped my doomed yaoi

@sharkylass

Roboroop for u

[hazelnootnut]

Saw @sharkylass' Isabeau Loops AU and went "well I'll have that" and yoinked the design so I can translate it into IRAC AU sprites. Roboro's design fucks severely man, the concept is so good and the post loops design is so pretty.

Mostly just wanted to draw it post loops, but I threw in white dandelion Roboro in there as a treat. He's pretty!

ACT 5 ISAT SPOILERS :3 ISA: SIFFRIN! HOW CAN YOU EVEN STAND THERE AND BE FINE??? YOU HAVE NEVER CHANGED, NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST, EVEN YOUR CLOTHES NEVER CHANGE, YOU BASH YOURSELF EVERY CHANCE YOU GET, YOU CAN'T TALK TO PEOPLE, YOU DON'T CARE FOR YOUR OWN HOME, AND YOU STILL THINK IT'S FINE?!?

SIF: oh... stars Isa, I... you, know a lot about me, huh?

[ He looks away from your gaze, you crabbed ANOTHER PERSON, ALL OF THEM. ] [ They won't be strong enough now, they're gonna die in one hit, you're gonna have to go through EVERYTHING AGAIN- ]

SIF: Do you... pay that much attention to me?

ISA: w- what?

SIF: I never told anyone that I... [ His gaze still away from you, but now their darting around beside them, like they're trying to follow a fly or something. ] SIF: I have no clue how you know so much, nor if, you'd tell me but... I guess it's nice? For someone to know you inside out?

[ Is... he fine with this??? ] [ He can't be right? That's, REALLY bad. He shouldn't be ok with you yelling at him! You never did! You... cared too much to......]

ISA: I... Sif-

[ Siffrin's looks at you suddenly. Still holding that damn smile. ] [ How can he still smile through this... ] SIF: It's ok Isa! Something's happened and you're not in a good mood. I'm not gonna push you, I wouldn't want to tell either, hehe... Do you, still want to watch the stars? [ ... ] [- Yes ] [- No ]

heyyyyy @sharkylass remember how i asked to make fanart for In Repetition and Change? yeah hi this is it i've been going insane all day i hope you like ittttttttt

[the-bitter-ocean]

Drew some custom sprites of Roboro (both the character and au itself is made by @sharkylass ) and I used this handy dandy website made by kongkrog (Lea) to simulate the vibes of the in game text box animation:

HI, ABOUT IN CHANGE AND REPETITION-

Honestly. Throw whatever theory you have at me, I love them.

But there is a hint in the post. That lil link doesn't lead to nothin. Might help brighten things up :]

Bless you and your responsiveness to my bullshit lmao

My original theory is that he wished he could stop being a coward, but I'm not sure how well that works considering that I can't picture Isabeau doing the "keeping everything the same" thing that Siffrin does. I could picture Isabeau making that wish and getting trapped long enough that he would go a little stir crazy, but I couldn't picture a Roboro situation with it if that makes sense.

My second theory is wishing that he could become someone that he wasn't ashamed of, and I could picture that snowballing into a Roboro situation, but I don't know how Isabeau would get out of that. I can't wait to see what the answer is though :)

Thank you again for making such a cool AU!

[asmodeauxx]

erm who the freak are you

[sharkylass]

(For your Isabeau looping au) does Isabeau get the wishcraft books? Is it a (act?thread?run?outfit?) like it is with Siffrin? Would the knowledge be gleaned by teasing it out of Siffrin’s colander brain over loops, or would some extra Craft be involved like with siffrin practically boiling their brain and wish to remember? If he got the books, would he read them or would he get Siffrin to read them (how?). Would Isabeau know it was wishcraft/what got him stuck by the end?

I'm not entirely settled on it, but I think Isa should learn about Sif's country. Maybe push his own memory in it a little, given he knew it followed a different religion and knew its name supposedly.

But it is inherently a Sif related event. I think it would come down to having to show Siffrin a bunch of country related things before their encounter with the King

(Circle key, posters of King, diary, maybe a second tear so they can look at the observatory, secret library even- So on and so on. Just a bunch of things to push Sif's memory as far as they can in a single loop)

Then the whole red Stat thing happens-

And that would probably give the equivalent of Memory of memories- BUT. It would only be equippable for Siffrin. Siffrin doesn't remember why they can read their own lenguage, they don't even question it, it just comes to them naturally.

So yeah, Isa would get to learn about Wishcraft the way he normally would, Sif translating, and him and Odile explaining it.

But I don't think he'd fully clock it that it's connected to his wish. It's less practical then Sif's wish, so you wouldn't think it'd put you in a timeloop, and even if Isa did know it wouldn't fully help him at this point.

One loop. . .

So I something I haven't told anyone is that Aiko can make fire. Why? A wish, Luma tried to stop them.

In Sky cotl players are fine touching fire so since I based their cape and scarf to be a part of this game I decided to make their capes fire resistant, so Luma and Bonnie can't be burned as long as they're wearing their cape and scarf!

These two randomly pop up in the loops.

　I personally think vander got used to having quiet, gentle sex and by that I mean grinding through clothes late at night.

doesn't matter the position, he's gonna rub against you and groan into your neck until he cums fully clothed because he doesn't want to risk waking up the kids.

yeah, his underwear and pants end up a mess and so do yours but he can't help it ! if he were to actually fuck you he knows he's gonna be so loud :< like come on, this man is 200cm tall, he is big everywhere which makes having regular sex in secret a bit ( really ) hard.

he's heavy and his movements—as controlled as they can get—are going to make the bed creak anyways; he has tried most positions to help with that issue. doggy? self explanatory, he goes feral. missionary is nice, he gets a full view of how your pussy stretches out to accommodate the thickness of his cock but that makes him lose his mind. sideways will always make the bed move. riding him has an issue similar to missionary, he gets to see and feel you taking him deeper so he can't help but moan loud. ( he's just a man, okay? )

surprisingly it started in a nonsexual situation.

you sitting on his lap, playing with the hair on the back of his head as he stroked your back, nails mindlessly scratching over the fabric of the shirt. comfortable silence in the bedroom as you two cuddled half asleep. he wasn't turned on to begin with, he really planned on holding you close until his mind decided to shut down, but after weeks of no intimacy—both too fucking tired to do more than kisses in bed—a long day at the bar and the kids already asleep leaving you alone… he couldn't resist.

free hand grabbing the plush of your hip to veeeery slowly move you back and forth against his lap, slow enough that it wouldn't ruin the gentle moment. he was a bit worried you'd get mad or something for thinking with his dick in the middle of lovey-dovey time but that quiet hum on his neck and the feeling of you also moving on your own told him enough.

strong arms wrapping around your waist as soon as you take care of the grinding part, holding tight onto you while lazily pressing kisses on the top of your head and whatever place he can reach. he is so clingy he needs to hold you even while fucking. I mean, he has a pretty girl all to himself being a sweetheart, how could he resist?

sure, he wants to feel you wrapped around him all wet and warm for hours but he's more than satisfied with just this for now. ( even if the cum on his boxers isn't so satisfying and pleasurable the next morning once it's dry… )

doesn't matter if now, years later, the kids moved out and powder spends the nights at her hideout more than her own room meaning you both got the house to yourselves. he still needs a little grinding while cuddling every now and then.

“you don't have to stay quiet,” the breathless giggle you let out going straight to his lower belly as he peppers kisses all over your neck and jaw, his hands running up and down your thighs. his own breath arrhythmic at the feeling of you pressing down and moving against his clothed cock, literally makes him throb. the way your body feels even without being naked is heavenly.

“I know,” he groaned into your skin, palm sliding under your shirt to tug you closer. god, how he loves having the love of his life on his lap anytime he wants to. every night, every morning, every evening with no complains. “just...let me enjoy it some more.”

he must have been a damn saint in his previous life to live such a wonderful one today.
