Summary
The dead boy knows he could be confronted with any number of awful things, from demons to sinners to beings beyond his imagination.
What Charles hadn't anticipated seeing was himself.
Or his reflection, anyway. The one he hasn't seen in thirty-odd years, so unfamiliar to him that he nearly jumps at the sight of the soft slope of his mum’s nose, the concentrated furrow of his dad's brow. He recognizes some of the other fragments intrinsically, like the liner-smudged eyes that a pretty girl did up for him at his first concert, and the well-worn, pin-riddled jacket handed down to him from his friend's older brother.
But it's the sum of the parts, the lanky frame holding it all together that gives him pause — makes him lean in for a closer look. The boy in his reflection is just so real, so enticingly, unfairly life-like, that Charles can't help but reach out and touch.

Charles encounters a mirror that shows his reflection while on his mission to rescue Edwin from Hell. After realizing he can't travel through it, he moves on.
But what if he was pulled into Despair's realm instead?

Summary
“I wasn’t ready,” he tries, grip tightening when Cheng Xiaoshi tries to take the controller from him. “One more time.”
“Go for it, then, but I hope you're prepared to lose.” Cheng Xiaoshi laughs again, letting the controller go and pressing his forehead to Lu Guang’s shoulder as he shakes, grinning. He’s so warm. Has he always been this touchy?
Could Lu Guang have been making him smile like this in every timeline since the first? Looking hurts his chest. He squeezes the controller a little tighter. “...Everyone needs a few tries to succeed.”

Small changes add up. In no timeline before has Cheng Xiaoshi loved Lu Guang, but this one is different.Bookmarked by ForgottenPotato

Summary
When she steps into her new class for the first time, Souko spots Reiko immediately.
There’s nobody else she could be- nobody has ever fitted a name better than the splinter of moonlight sat in the corner of the classroom, with wispy silver hair and bruised shins sticking out the bottom of her school skirt. Reiko stares into the yard with a mild sense of disinterest, her eyes sharp and cat-like and Souko barely hears when she’s asked to introduce herself to the rest of the class.
or; in another universe, souko enrolls in the same school as reiko. somehow, this changes everything.

Summary
Natsume hangs his head low, his dusty blond hair falling into his eyes. Satoru feels a strange urge to slide his fingers through the silky locks—to push it back so Natsume’s eyes can tell him the truth even when his mouth refuses to.
A closer look into Nishimura's perspective in Natsume on the Moonlit Night.
