✶ "My skin is not mine. I scratch and peel layer after layer, but all that remains is a version of myself that I did not ask to become."
... Aka an explanation of my AU! (Looping Lime)
So, basically, the general premise of it is that Lime is stuck in a time loop. However, at the start of the loops, Lime isn't, well, exactly... Lime. Lime is Crewmate!Green after several time loops, and additionally, several deaths. They act similarly to Lime in the show, but this is due to the fact that after having died so many times, they started to lose all hope and sense of self.
Additionally, there is no "original" Lime. Lime only starts to exist after several loops, where they feel like a separate identity is needed in order to survive alongside the crew.
In this, it's really important to note that Crewmate!Green and Impostor!Green (Who I will refer to as C!Green and I!Green for short) are two separate entities. The loops technically start before the hull breach, where C!Green injures themselves on the reactor, whose core basically contains the gaseous structure resembling a star and whatnot, so just think of it as having the core of a mini star. Basically, by accidentally injuring themselves on the reactor, their body reacts weirdly with the matter in it and whatnot, thus starting the time loops. The loop is reset every single time C!Green dies, although I!Green also remembers the loops due to the fact that they took over C!Green's original body, which still made contact with the reactor.
After this, C!Green is then killed and replaced by I!Green, just like in the show, but they wake up in a different, more decaying body. Over the course of the loops, this body starts decaying and looking more sickly, giving C!Green a more yellowish hue the more they go through the loops. And, through a wonderful series of misunderstandings plus C!Green having the survival instinct of a guy trying to escape a time loop, Lime is alive!
Anyways, there's a lot more to this, but this is just the basic premise of it!
By the way, there WILL be ships! They won't exactly be the main focus of the plot for now, but they'll exist! For now, it's just a reaaally messy, fucked up iteration of Blime and queerplatonic Chefskiss.
(btw, the art is also a sneak peak for something for the fic, which should be coming out some time this week if all goes according to plan! ^^)
