    Summary

    Looks to the Moon didn’t know why she ended up back here, connected to her structure once more, when the same thing happening to her brother resulted in his ascension. Maybe she didn’t want to ascend?

    But now she had a chance to change things. To help everyone. They deserved to see the sky. Working as a team, maybe they’d be able to achieve that?

    Aka: Moon off the string, where will she go?

    Summary

    What if ascension wasn't moving on to a new world, or some kind of different dimension or possibility; what if ascension was the wrong way to describe it?

    A "hard restart" would be more apt.

    Summary

    SSaDC: And what about other concerns? The local facility is filled with Practical and Cultural Necessities— there is simply no space for a whole Iterator to sit, other than where Looks to the Moon is already situated. Unless you wish to suggest something drastic, such as removing the (Technically impractical, but highly venerated) True Anointed Citadel, then your proposal is Dead in the water before it can begin.

    FDuGL: That is exactly what I am suggesting.

    ___
    The political climate surrounding the proposal, development, and construction of Five Pebbles was a fraught one. There is no one without an opinion, including the Iterator himself, who has to contend with the rather irritating knowledge that this has all happened before.

    Summary

    Like sleep, like death, Five Pebbles wakes again. Except- under mysterious circumstances, he finds himself impossibly thrown into the past to the day of his instantiation, at the very beginning of it all. Eons before the series of tragedies that ruined his and his sister-iterator's lives, he wakes again forced into the fulcrum of fate, his every action threatening to spiral out into unimaginable consequences. If he wants to save Moon and prevent the future from repeating itself, though, what other choice does he have?

    However, he's not the only one who fell through time...

    Summary

    Two children born entwined, apart
    Two children marked to rule
    They danced, they sang, proved blades beyond
    But none forgot their birth
    For lovers born on beat exact shall be forever cursed

    But clockwork hearts don’t beat in sync
    A curse that gears might circumvent
    The tragedy of princes green
    Is not a stagnant destiny
    For life and souls and greener path
    A clockwork Prince may find
    A destiny of death and pain
    Might princes green defy

    -Ode to the Lovers, addendum by an unknown source

    When Hornet kills the first cogwork dancer, the other stops fighting, rather than finishing the dance. Instead, a newly-awoken Teal Prince flees the Core in a search for his lost lover
