Summary
Philza had wanted to rest in the garden, only to be awoken when Kristen needed him again.
He hadn't expected another god to call on him.
Nor did he expect the request.But by the gods, he was going to change everything.

Time-travel fix-its are fun, because not only do we get to salve wounds that went unhealed in canon, but pick up exciting new trauma! haha.
best of both worlds (as any fic with two worlds should aspire to be)-fairly decent Watsonian explanation for the time-travel, attempting to work within the expectations of established rules of reality. Technically our ROB is a fic-original entity, but it seems to operate in lock-step with similar entities (HC s4 deities, the partner god/desses). Very little suspension of disbelief required.
-our MC still acts like themself, even with the future knowledge. There's a fair balance so far between acknowledging the trauma carried over from the other timeline, and behavior more in line for what friends, allies, observers and enemies would expect from a Phil native to this point in time. His changes feel like they *could* be choices he'd have made even without the knowledge. That's *chefs kiss*.
-am quietly sobbing (/pos, mostly) over the approach for banned members. There's a lot of varied solutions in the fandom, over how to handle content going forward. And I think this has a lot of respect-- for the severity of the issues with the content creators, for the real emotional impact the characters and stories had for those of us who experienced them, unknowing of histories and behind-the-scenes, and for the unavoidable hole left behind in other character's journeys. This is beautifully married in, given Phil's 4th wall breaking habits, to warn how the author is going to handle the conspicuous holes, without jump scaring readers who are still hurting with direct reference, or overly drawing attention to abandoned/altered plotlines (and their sources). Phil's reaction and wounds to the universe's erasure honestly ties quite neatly to the emotional state of both the storyline-that-would-have-been, where past Phil would have been dealing with certain emotional complexities, as well as what all future Phil went through. So his character growth journey actually gets preserved. Plus it's super meta about the fans feelings too.
