It's 2 am (but it's the 4th of july so it's okay ;D)
Svsss au where XF and Sy can only appear in the dreams of important characters and after a system error the plot gets skewed somehow? So they have to go into the dreams of characters/into their consciousness and make convincing suggestions/tell the future to get the story back on track except they are terrible at it.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE NOT SAYING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, IT'S JUST THAT THEY FORGET THAT THE CHARACTERS CAN STILL HEAR THEM AFTER THEY'VE SAID YOUR LINES
XF going into YQ's conscious right before saving the boy that would rat YQ and SJ out in the future and going "You really should save him."
Right when YQ's going to act on it he hears the rest of XF's words. XF, who completed what he was supposed to do and finished his suggestion, has started a conversation with SY.
"It's a shame that after saving this kid they'll get betrayed and ratted out and permanently estranged."
in the background SY's like "You made the story, do you have a fetish for tormenting kids or something? What's up with this tragic backstory???"
and YQ pauses long enough that he misses the window for a rescue. There's no betrayal, no capturing QJL's attention, and they don't go through their own separate hells.
XF and SY start panicking because how are they supposed to get the two to go to CQMS? except XF still hasn't gotten out of YQ's head so the boy hears about their "destinies" and decides that since the misfortune hasn't happened they should still go to CQMS to make the most out of life.
it's like a task failed successfully because they're both at CQMS now but they don't have like half of the trauma needed for the story. It's okay XF and SY can probably figure something out
In the scene where SJ saves LQG SY goes into LQG's mind and goes "He obviously tried to kill you" and before LQG can agree with him SY keeps talking like "okay well he actually didn't and saved LQG's life but this is supposed to mark the permanent scar on any relationship they had." and LQG gives SJ a strange look before assessing the area, finding that there is indeed traces from something that lingered behind him.
SY and XF are panicking once again because what the hell is with this (mostly one sided) sense of camaraderie between LQG and SJ/SQQ now? Aren't they enemies?
In the caves XF's all like "You're strong you don't need any other preparation" in LQG's head and SY's yelling at him like "what a waste of a genuinely cool character, killing him off in the caves by a qi deviation of all things is horrible" (The system words missions really specifically so all of XF's plots are laid out for SY to see, so he has a deeper understanding of each of the characters and their stories) and LQG stiffens up before he makes a trip to MQF.
As usual, XF and SY are panicking because LQG didn't die in the caves, SQQ didn't take the blame, and WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
each of the major plot points are thwarted and they genuinely don't understand what they're doing wrong. The system is also confused because they're saying what they're told, yet the plot is just getting more twisted.
