    Summary

    Wemmbu stayed kneeling at the base of the steps, blood trickling against his chin, breath shallow in his chest, as he stared at the black ink crossing through Highwater’s name while Steampunk City waited untouched beside it. His head swam with the thought of another sky, another crowd of people looking up at him with terror.

    Somewhere far away, Egg was still alive. That was the chain around his throat.

    And everyone in the room knew it.

    Or, a dramatized (and semi-realistic), tax duo centric, canon divergent fic about the recent Civil War arc! :)

    Summary

    I spent the last year and a half reading every Re:Zero reaction fic I could find, and now here’s my own worldwide reaction. The world watches Re:Zero, Arcs 1–9.

    Just know, I wrote this out of spite to prove I could. Writing is not fun, but it is relaxing.

    Credit to those before me, especially Feopyr and “The 4 Nations Witness the Strongest Existence.” I used their Arc 1 viewing-description template—with permission.

    Warning: I use AI to edit everything. It's more obvious early on, but AI still plays a part.

    FAQs:
    * No Pandora, Omega's party, or Shadow Garden scenes. I won't write stuff I don't understand yet.
    * NO IF ROUTES. I don't like bad endings.
    * No Sirius and Roy for now. Capella will represent them. Roswaal is scarce because he would repeat himself.
    * Yes, it's long and slow. That's intentional and won't change. Just know I've heard you, so there's no need to repeat it.
    * No OVAs.
    * No openings, endings, or OST.
    * Cut content added at my discretion.
    * Character backstories will be shown.

    I want real advice: grammar, characterization, missed details, future ideas—everything. Criticism is highly welcome.

    Summary

    It's all fun and games to have a crush on the quirky mechanical man until he sacrifices your charge and you stop being a voice in the kid's head.

    Or the Guardian Angel tries to figure life out when they find the ascension of the Bride has, in fact, saved everyone - including themself. Mellow may be alive and safe now, but can they forgive the Surgeon for what they did? Or worse, what they themself did...? Where can they all even go from here?

    And why is life so much harder with a physical body?

    Summary

    “You don’t even count as human, and you still want to become an immortal? You’ve missed the optimal time to begin cultivating – what can you become? Even if you muddle along with him, that charlatan Wu Yanzi, he isn’t even guaranteed to want you.”

    Shen Jiu growled, wrenching out of Qiu Jianluo’s grip to hurl an ink stone at him. He missed.

    Shen Jiu saw the change in Qiu Jianluo’s face instantly, the man’s hand rising up and blocking out the glow of candlelight. His towering shadow was Qiong Qi given flesh.

    Shen Jiu’s body froze instinctively as he readied himself for a blow.

    But it never came, because when Shen Jiu managed to look up, all he could see was a man’s broad back swathed in black robes, his grip tight around Qiu Jianluo’s wrist.

    “Qiu-gongzi, what could ever make you think that a charlatan like me wouldn’t want this boy as his disciple?”

    Or: Shen Yuan transmigrates into Wu Yanzi’s body and gets followed around by a feral teenager called Shen Jiu… who is kind of obsessed with him.
