Hi guys, it's been a bit so I wanted to post an update on the status of heterochromia.
Currently, I'm living in Minneapolis Minnesota, the heart of the ICE attacks. Obviously, it's affecting my mood lol. That along with college has really been stressing out, so I haven't been able to write for a while.
This post isn't to garner sympathy, but just explain where the hell chapter 7 is. Answer is: I haven't even started. Oops!
Anyways maybe I'll get back to it? I would like to see this through, but it's going to be a very slow process.
So yeah. The series is technically on hiatus? I know that's a scary word, especially in the fanfiction world, but I am planning on getting back to it... Eventually. I promise I'll post an update when writing resumes :)

Summary:
It feels like Sam's life has been nothing but one downward spiral. Nothings ever gone in his favor, so of course the day the apocalypse begins is the same day he's being evicted from his apartment.
I just read your fic and I am LOVING it but when do u think you'll be able to put out the next chapter =)))))) no pressure ofc!!!! No pressure but I'm obsessing and I'm basically fiending for the next one
It's coming! Slowly. This chapter is really boring for me, knowing all the things that are to come. I'm also starting college soon so I've been slightly preoccupied with that, but the next chapter has one more section to be written and then it's done!
Just a fair warning though, this chapter is going to be shorter than the others just because of how much of a pain in the ass it was to write.
HI SO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MY HEAD WHEN I WAS IMAGINING LYLE BEING STUCK ON HIS BACK
Thank you so fucking much for this I can't overstate how happy seeing my ideas coming to life makes me
P.S: As long as I'm posting, I just wanted to let you all know heterochromia is going on a brief hiatus while I'm on vacation! I'm still making progress on the next chapter, but it's pretty slow, so please be patient :)

You fic made my morning w that update. Thank you for the lovely narrative breakfast bites! Very very excited for the next course!
Thank you! I'm glad I could make your day.
The next course is gonna mainly be fluff, as I'm assuming barreling through plot point after plot point is going to get tiring unless I break things up for y'all </3
Expect it to come out a little faster than chapter 4, but at the same time, no promises
au idea idk what to do with so im setting it loose. feel free to borrow it if you wanna!
setup:
what is says on the tin! Sam wakes up in bed and does not resist the urge to get up and look out the window.
Sam wakes up in bed and decides not to look out the window.
The events of the game happen as usual but the loop is reset to day 1 every time sam dies or gets transformed/assimilated/unravelled/etc. He remembers previous "runs" but it takes a few loops for him to gain that awareness proper. The previous day is generally pretty hazy for him but certain details may stick out / he'll remember stuff that comes up a lot.
Supposedly the only way to break it is to get in contact with The Visitor. this locks this au into the completed ritual endings (denial/truth) who knows if this actually breaks it but he's BASICALLY immortal far as we know so it'll take him a while to find out
timeloop is only fully consistent on day 1 - the rest of the days will have little differences that can build up.
some other characters who get to be aware of the loop:
Sybil is sort of aware of the timeloop but I imagine it's about as hazy as her own memories so she gets really intense deja vu.
Jasper is also plagued with deja vu but he doesn't get to keep any loop memories.
Edwin: idk what he can do with this information.
Roaches: aware of the loop but doesnt care.
Mask: possibly aware????? idk to what degree or what they even do about it.
Spine: whatever edwin did to it let it retain vague loop memories. (better than sybil, worse than sam)
the fun stuff to consider for au:
sam having to go through the whole "OH I DIDNT REALISE YOU COULD SAVE JOEL"
sam, especially tired on one run, just letting in people that he knows are fine without any question and THEY start to worry that he's a serial killer or smth
Sam calling people by name before they get to introduce themselves
idk if he can HELP jeanne before it gets particularly bad but maybe he can check on on her more before the heads get a chance to eat too many ppl?
stops leigh's chase in her tracks by just giving her a really bored look. she's at a loss and really annoyed bc HEY. RUN, IDIOT. WOULD IT KILL YOU TO SCREAM A LITTLE?
gets into the darkroom at some point somehow (idk if violently or not. could be either) and gets to know abt lyle's project. fun!
tries to punk-proof his room. despite all his efforts it never works. he tries to make it as unappealing as possible and they just make fun of him for having a nasty bedroom as they take over it.
hope you don’t mind me shilling here for any time loop fans, BUT
My friend @ginnyinindy has actually been working on a fun time loop fic for a few weeks now actually if anyone wants to check that out ;)
it’s called (No) going back and it’s really fun so far, we been bouncing a lot of ideas around and screaming in unison, plotting with friends is better than crack

I am sad that I was at work during a part of today's stream where they talked about Spine and the idea of Spine being female and Frankie making it WAY MORE COMPLICATED by implying that there's a good likelihood that Spine is more than one person, and joked 'if Spine is 8 people that does bump up the stalker count'
HRRHFHRHRH I wanna ask you SO BAD what the deal is with Sam's eye I wanna know SO BAD but I don't want spoilers I wanna know naturally from READING HRGRGRHDHHGRG is it just migraines IS IT JUST MIGRAINES?!?!?!? HRHRRGRGRG HOW DID HE KNKW THE BABY WAS COMI G GRGRGEHEHRGR anyway good fic I like it lol. 👍
Thanks!!!
I promise there's a reason, it'll be revealed over time. For now though, we gotta work our way through some other stuff. Hope you're looking forward to it!
