Shuichi death loop fic??? Could I perhaps hear more??
Why of COURSE
While I was writing Impermanent Attachment, I had a lot more deaths planned for Shuichi and a class trial but thats not important. I enjoy when characters die in time loops because not only is it really jarring and hard to readjust right away, but also because it gives that character a new kind of relationship with death. Dying becomes a lot less scary if you know you're going to come back each time, doesnt it? Of course at some point that goes from being just. another thing that happens. back to being terrifying, because it becomes downright torturous to come back over and over and over again. Death is often seen as escape, so what happens when even thats taken away? O_o
Just like a time loop, I think a death loop can be defined in a lot of different ways. The type of death loop I have in mind is a sort of "no matter what you do, you will die" kind of loop. Instead of Shuichi stopping Kokichi from dying, he has to try to save himself.
Lets say the timeline diverges; someone kills Shuichi. Trigger the death loop! Shuichi's back, and he knows someone is going to kill him. So now he has to try to prevent that. In this fic he'd probably have that "falling piano" type of luck, since the point of a death loop is to yknow... die. Slip on a banana peel and hit your head just right. Fall down the stairs. Get hit by lightning. What do you mean we're indoors? That hasnt stopped it before. Buut but, at some point, he decides to just... kill his killer out of self defense. Problem solved, right? He may be a murderer but at least hes not going to di-
god damn it
You can see where im going with this right ?? It just turns into a huge downward spiral of Shuichi's morality and sanity. Let that boy be insane! Of course, since it's a LunarLeonardo fic, it'd have a... hopeful ending, at the very least. Hugs, anger, tears, yknow. The usual :∆
This is just a base idea tho :p I don't know if I'll actually write it. I have a LOT of ideas that I could write, but I won't write a fic if I can't think of an ending or if I know I'll lose interest. this stupid detective is in my mind always . help me
