Summary
Jouvente seemed like a much nicer city when Mirabelle wasn't worrying about the apocalypse.
----
It's been well over a year since the King had been defeated; since Vauguarde had been saved; and since the Saviors themselves decided to continue travelling together. Their last stop before sailing to Ka Bue? Somewhat fittingly, it was the first city that Mirabelle entered on her quest: Jouvente, the birthplace of their resident fighter.Not that you could tell from the way he was acting - sure, he had mentioned plenty of the restaurants he was excited to treat them too, or his favorite landmarks he would take them to, but Isabeau had kept conspicuously quiet about the people from his past. If he didn't want to mention meeting up with any friends or family, well, that's his choice to make. Change knows his new family had kept larger secrets.
But just because Isabeau's more than ready to leave the cities' residents behind doesn't mean that they're finished with him. And some of them are of the opinion that he's long overdue for a family reunion...
———
Isabeau’s family reunion!

Summary
Okay, you’re not just imagining it, are you? He is looking at you strangely. Like… like something about you is paining him?? Did you do something wrong? You don’t think that you did, but-
“A-anyway, I was just looking at the Favor Tree!!” Isa pipes up abruptly, the cheerfulness of it bordering on jarring, “It's, um, pretty neat, isn't it???”

Summary
Siffrin here is an angel-bird-adjacent thing with a history with the King that is anything except good.
Features: Angst, choosing healing, bad mental health, recovery, finding freedom
Featured writing passage:
You are a weak, pathetic, caged thing, and you cannot remember the last time you raced against the wind. Your wings press against the bars of your cage and itch, you cannot reach them for preening. They are sore and cramped, and you have not seen the sun in months. The only thing you can do is stare out of the window of this accursed observatory and wait until a crowned monster returns.

Burn these scripts (and set me free) by ShushMyth

Summary
[“I don't know, Siffrin. You’ve felt off since yesterday. More withdrawn, mostly. Tell me what's wrong.” She tries to remain calm, but you can see her crossed hands gently squeezing her arms for a moment.
“Nothing's wrong!” You say. Desperately looking through pages and pages trying to figure out what your lines are supposed to be here instead of the improv you are doing.
“It's okay if you don't want to tell me, you know.” Odile glares you down. “I'll find out eventually.”
These lines feel familiar but you dont know you dont know you dont remember—
“I'm not hiding anything though.” you try. Odile’s face shifts.
and then.
You remember.
This scene.]
In which the Sus event happens for the second time, and in a moment of fear and impulse, the lines of the script are spoken by the wrong actors.

ACT 3 SPOILERS
Siffrin may have a bit of a problem.
Time loops? Sure, but that's old news at this point.
The glass shard he's oddly drawn to now? Maybe, but not really much of a problem in his eyes.
That STUPID CRABBING CORNER? YES, but not the main pressing issue.Odile figuring out that Siffrin is in fact caught in a time loop, now THAT is something to panic about.

Summary
That’s it, then. You sort of never thought this moment would come, but it did. Vaugarde is saved. The King is defeated. Your journey is over.
Right. Mirabelle will stay here, or maybe go off on a pilgrimage all on her own. Isabeau will go back to Jouvente to pursue his dream. Bonnie back to their sister. And Odile to Ka Bue.
And you…well, you’ll return to traveling, of course. Just like before. That’s fine. It’s what you’ve always done. It won’t be any different than it was before.You’re just glad that this story had a happy ending.
A moment of hesitation and a faint memory leads Siffrin to make a different wish at the Favor Tree. The party of saviors find their final quest goes much more smoothly than they might have anticipated.
This is not a good thing.

Summary
Two things happened at once, very fast.
One, the tile beneath Bonnie slid open. And, not expecting it, they lost their footing, letting out an alarmed yelp.
Two, Siffrin.
--
tldr; Siffrin and Bonnie fall into an ancient temple's trap, effectively being cut off from the group and left to rescue themselves from a very dark, very dusty dungeon. This is not as easy as it sounds.Bookmarked by Thatoriginalguy

Summary
You're jealous. You're jealous of your own blinding Sadness. It waltzed right into your camp like it isn't something awful made of everything wrong with you and– and it, wretched inhuman thing that it is, has the guts that you never did. And it's spilling them all over.
Everyone but the kid seems casually horrified. Whether that's because it's you or because it's a Sadness, you'll never bring yourself to ask.
(Mal du Pays appears pre-canon! Yay!)

It's raining in Dormont. If clouds cover the stars, are they still there?

Summary
Nothing changes in the loops. Nothing changes at all. Nothing is supposed to change.
Except for Isabeau. Just one thing changes about him, and it's that he keeps coughing, keeps losing his breath. And it's getting worse.
What... what happens when it gets too bad? When it knocks him off his feet at the start of every loop? When it threatens to kill him?
You had eternity, didn't you?

Summary
Odile stared into the crackling campfire and did her best to ignore the sniffling sobs from the tent to her left.
Mirabelle was well suited to give Siffrin all the hugs they needed. Boniface had perfected their recipe for malanga fritters and had taken to annihilating every library in their path looking for more recipes from the forgotten island. And she…
A star near the horizon winked at her mockingly, and she let out a jagged sigh, glaring at it. “I wish I knew enough to help him.”

Summary
Madame Odile came out of her tent and joined the group, Crafting book in hand. “What's happening?”
Isabeau smiled awkwardly. “I thought I saw something, but let me check again, I'm pretty sure it was nothing!”
“Wait, what do you think you saw?”
“It's kinda embarrassing, but--”
A darkless blur dashed out of the tent. Siffrin skidded to a stop in front of the party, spun on their heel, and unsheathed their dagger.
He was followed by Siffrin, Siffrin, Siffrin, and Siffrin.
---
Having resumed their quest for the final Orb after Siffrin lost an eye, it seems the party can't catch a break. A group of strange Sadnesses are copying Siffrin, using the memories each party member has of him. Can everyone work through their false impressions and find the real Siffrin?

Summary
After breaking free of the loops, Siffrin is more than ready to move on and enjoy life again. They’re with their family—their friends—for another journey, one without the King’s Curse nipping at their heels, and everyone will be together for the foreseeable future. So Siffrin is fine. Great, even! The others don’t need to know that their experience in Dormont still hangs heavy as a noose around their neck.
They just need to get over it.
-
Or: Siffrin has trauma, learning to open up is a process, and the others realize the loops left deeper scars than previously thought.

Summary
The real Siffrin has been dead for a long time. But Something wants to live as them, after taking their life. Something that hungers. Something unnatural. But they want to stay with these people, save Vaugarde. They just hope that they don't hurt them...
But Monsters rarely get what they want.

Trapped In a Purgatory, I Suffer For You by scarlett_nova
Fandoms: In Stars And Time (Video Game)
30 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Siffrin thinks that this is what they want. What everyone wants.
In here, they'll always love the actors, and the actors will always love them.
They don't need to think about anything that happens outside of these two days, regardless of how much they want it, CRAVE IT.
They only need to think about the next line, the next stage direction, the next time they can be alone.
After so much time, there's bound to be a mistake or two that goes undetected.
This one cannot be fixed by a simple loop, however.Or, Siffrin was serious at the end of Act 4, when they said they could keep the play going for a little while longer.
