    Summary

    In an alternate act five, Siffrin breaks in a different way than canon.

    He and Loop go around and around and around. They both know what wish was made. They both know what traps them here. They both know what the condition is which, upon reaching the Head Housemaiden, so guttingly fails to be fulfilled. But Loop won't say it outright. And Siffrin won't look at it.

    Until, eventually, there's nowhere left to look.

    Summary

    Siffrin is your jailor. Your purpose. Your caretaker. Your better self, your now-unreachable future, your child all grown up. You—you are past the point of wanting to take their place. All you want now is a belonging of your own or another cessation, a complete one, because this? This fifth bedroom, this toothbrush, this windowsill overlooking their life? This you cannot take. And as much as every day you miss the people who are right there in front of you, you know they are not yours.

    After the journey, in a five-bedroom house, Loop endures the fact that the Universe likes Siffrin more.

    Summary

    You were a wholesome man, honest. And a patient one, too! You were willing to wait as long as it took for Siffrin to give you his answer after your whirlwind of a confession. So, you really think you could be forgiven for also falling for the mirror image of them that appears in your dreams.

    Summary

    After a hundred miserable loops, Siffrin makes a wish. Isabeau gets caught in the crossfire.

    (yes, it’s another Isa Loops AU. but hear me out! rock might beat scissors, but no stone in the cosmos can resist the gravitational pull of a star)
