Summary
You're getting a failing grade in being Human.
There's more to it than you remembered. Having a mouth to speak, lungs to breathe, a stomach to fill.
But mouths are complex structures of meat, and the rules to breathing are contradictory, and food? Don't get you started!
And worst yet, playing the role of Siffrin is an impossible one. Your coactors are onto you.
How long until your mask slips and they discover the corpse hiding beneath?You've won the fight, but you'll always be the true loser.
Living within the body you've stolen, you'll claim your victory for as long as you can.
Get up, Loop. You've got a future to behold.

(Novel length Slowburn. Loop wins the 2hats fight. Now human and with a future, they'll need to learn to become a person again.)

Summary
Every way you've died so far has been different. Getting frozen in time feels different than bashing your head open on a rock, which feels different from choking on fruit, which feels different from getting crushed by a boulder, which – well, you get the idea.
But all of them are so… impersonal. Even the King is just killing you because you're in his way.
This, though… this feels almost intimate. And that's weird, you know that's weird and messed up and you shouldn't want to die, you don't want to die, but you –
You… kind of want Loop to kill you.

Summary
You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.
The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.
It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.
It’s. Alive.
… You’re alive.
The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.
✧✧✧
In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

Summary
What if Michael did come back from Sanikov land, but just not fully whole. And what if he was dating Gerry, who already Knew that Michael Shelly was dead. Well, I would imagine a lot of angst, miscommunication and possibly some identity issues.
