Summary
Siffrin has craved blood for as long as they can remember. After so many years of wandering, he's come to Vaugarde in hope of finding answers, just as the King's Curse begins freezing the country in time. He's quickly losing hope, but when they come across a small group determined to save Vaugarde from the King, Siffrin decides to join them. They can't get the answers they want if the country gets frozen in time, after all. They'd never traveled with other people before. Siffrin doesn't expect to grow attached to any of them, but as time goes on, the thought of leaving them hurts more and more. Worse yet, they refuse to even entertain the thought of one of them discovering what he is and what he's done. They just know that if they find out, they'll hate them.

Summary
“Are you okay with keeping the muzzle on?” Odile sounds annoyed about repeating herself. “It’s not uncommon to make alphas more aggressive during their ruts, despite the supposed calming affects from the Craft.”
(You’re just a burden.)
You start to shake your head, but you remembered she asked if you wanted to keep it on, not if you wanted to take it off, so you nod instead.
“Yes, to keeping it on?” she asks.
You nod again.
---
Or, Siffrin has his first rut post loops. They can't remember when he had one last, so Odile figures it's best to prepare for a long few nights, which Isabeau doesn't seem to mind.

Summary
After tasting some of the people they'd encountered while traveling, Siffrin learned that they're a rare type of person colloquially known as Forks. He can't taste anything except the bodily fluids of another type of person known as Cakes. Determined to keep from losing control again, they travel alone and rarely stay in one town for more than a week. However, while in Jouvente during the Change festival, they're invited to join a pun-loving Defender to watch the fireworks. Siffrin has nothing better to do and accepts. Why not?
He's reminded of why not very quickly. Things like them don't get to have nice, quiet nights. It was probably a good thing to be reminded of that, but they've always been very good at forgetting, now haven't they?

Act ∞ (The Paradox Event) by clockwork_owl for Blazing_rain
Fandoms: In Stars And Time (Video Game)
24 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
You have now begun Act ∞. Average run-time from start to finish of this Event is approximately three hours, and despite this Event being centered around SASASAAPfrin breaking out of their loops, the game remains in the point of view of ISATfrin, who renames themself Wish. Wish will muse about Act ∞ remaining in their point of view as they wait for Siffrin (who he nicknames Sunspot) to approach them under the Favor Tree. While musing, he will make a sarcastic comment about still being the Universe’s favorite Siffrin

Summary
Every 30 - 50 years, a new generation of Light Guardians Awaken to fight the three Abysmal Monsters and send them back to the shadows.
There are supposed to be five members, but so far, there are only two -- and they don't seem to get along. Worse yet, some believe a mysterious and powerful figure known as the Lost Princess of Prophecy has been reborn for this generation. If they're right, and the Princess is back, then Change is coming.
And Change is destruction.
Did all this really have to happen right before midterms?

Summary
Three years have passed since the King was defeated and Vaugarde was saved. Mirabelle spent those years helping around the country, but she’s been putting off her pilgrimage long enough.
The reason for her pilgrimage is a little... unorthodox, however. She's looking for someone, and all she has is a vague description, the name of a Mwudu university, bare strokes of a plan, and the mirror picture she's kept in her pocket since finding it on Siffrin's bed in the infirmary. No one knows where they disappeared to after he collapsed right after the battle with the King, but if Mirabelle's right, if she finds Siffrin in Mwudu, then...
She's... not sure. She wants answers. She knows that much, but the answers turn out to be more complicated than she'd thought to imagine.
A housemaiden should know how to let go, but sometimes it's important to know when to hold on tight.

Summary
It's a while after the loops were broken, and the party told Siffrin what happened to them. The next big change was the Forgotten Island suddenly being remembered again, and Siffrin, with their memories back, can now know that remembering isn't a good thing. Not for him. Because why would the Universe ever make it that easy?

Summary
Siffrin remembers that they had been to Ka Bue at least once. What they don't remember is that he'd listened to the same Vaugardian merchant that Odile had, both standing there with tears running down their cheeks and thinking about what had been taken from them. Odile doesn't remember all that much about it either, probably thanks to the alcohol when she'd decided to drown her sorrows and make herself forget about her grief.

Summary
After testing a theory with Loop, Siffrin has come to the conclusion that they've been playing the wrong role all this time. Now that they see what their place in this play really is, he'll need to figure out how to fit into this new character. It'll be hard at first, but pulling off a good twist villain isn't exactly easy. Luckily, the loops grant him plenty of chances to rehearse, but as they begin to finally settle into this new role and become more and more comfortable with all it entails, Loop feels the need to finally step in -- if the Universe will let them.
