ISAT In Tales Of Time AU

TW for su!c!dal ideation‼️

We have fanart, folks!!

You used to be scared of heights, but each time you reached the top of the house, you became more desensitised to the ground below.

At first it had scared you, as expected. Then, you were unbothered. Then, you were… drawn.

One loop, you approached the edge.

You looked down at the ground, now several floors below you.

…

Talking to the Head Housemaiden was always such a hassle, it took time and energy to go through it.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just… end the loops now? Instead of going through the epilogue over and over? You know how this story ends.

It would be quicker, right?

It would be so… easy…

Teehee ;3

Here we are... chapter 11 preview

Shelby walks up to the military officer who seems frazzled and all over the place. “What’s wrong Apo?”

“Pyro never came home last night and I am just a little worried. He left with Owen but Pyro hasn’t returned. Owen has though. Just not Pyro.” The officer seems to be holding a pig in her arms as she seems to possibly be using it for comfort.

“He is with Avid at the moment. Don’t worry, he is fine. He had some kind of fight with Owen.” Abolish stops himself from continuing. He isn’t supposed to know all that information, yet he does.

“Oh, well if Pyro is safe and okay that is all that should matter.” Apo sounding worried about Pyro sounds foreign to Abolish. Yet he decides to roll with it.

“I’ll be sure to pass your concerns off to him.” Abolish heads back off to his house then crafts some weapons out of silver. He knows that the silver won’t kill a vampire, but it will severely weaken them. But right now, he has five people that he needs to keep safe including himself.

Looping fic AU - chapter 7 preview

“What are you two doing?” Drift sounds from behind as they both tense up as Pyro quickly removes their hands from under Avid’s shirt.

“Oh- uh- Drift- we were- I mean- we-”

Avid kept stammering as Pyro sits down next to him on the couch and puts his arms over the little alchemist. “Sorry, I thought that you would be gone longer.” Pyro’s response was calm contrary to the voice screaming in his head telling him to just leave and die of embarrassment.

“I was just out to get some honey. Abolish left to check on something but he’ll be back.” Drift looks at the two noticing Avid has another shirt on and that Pyro doesn’t have his on at all. “Pyro, can you at least put your jacket back on. I know that you put your shirt on Avid. I have no idea why that is on him in the first place, but could you cover up some while I am home.?”

“Of course, I’m sorry Drift. Rather rude of me to expose myself in front of a lady such as yourself.” Pyro gets off the couch as he picks up the suit jacket to put it on and decides to fasten it so he can hide his chest for Drift.

“It is more of what you were getting ready to do with my house mate. He isn’t the most mentally stable at the moment. Accusing Scott of murder in front of everyone was not okay Avid. You really should apologize to him.” Drift’s Scolding made Avid feel as if he is about to cry.

“I- I did apologize. H- he seems to have forgiven me.” Avid’s voice was uneven as he has tears running down his face remembering the original time. Scott was terrifying but at the very least. Nothing that he ever could have done would have prevented Avid from falling in love with him.

LOOPING AU 👀 LOOPING. LOOPING LOOPING LOOPIN LOOP

🤩

Right, this one is still in the "ideas" phase rather than at WIP status.

Looping AU: This one is a Dragon Age idea. Inspired by "Variations on a Theme, with Tank and Gunfire" by servantofclio and "Din'anshiral" (orphaned), the latter of which was also inspired by "Variations."

The idea of both is basically "what if one of the characters is going through the events of the game in a loop, like a Groundhog Day scenario?" I love the concept, and while "Din'anshiral" does technically already tackle it for Dragon Age, it does so with Cullen Rutherford as the looping character, and he doesn't really find a solution by the end of the short story (though he does finally meet up with his love interest again). I wanted to do my own Dragon Age take, but in the vein of "Variations" where it's the player character looping rather than one of the side characters, and with the same conceit that they're trying to find a way out of the loop.

It's one of the only Dragon Age story ideas I have where I've generated a protagonist character who isn't my "canon" version (most of my AUs just use my "canon" protagonists in the new setting), in this case a Neria Surana who doesn't become the Warden protagonist but does eventually become Inquisitor. I've got enough notes jotted down that I could feasibly start on writing when one of my WIP slots opens up, but I still need to work out how it wraps up.
