Summary
For a while, Mirabelle dreams about her journey. Everything that could’ve gone wrong. But with time and distance from Dormont, with her party, her family, by her side, her fears begin to fade. She heals; they all do. And the dreams begin to change.
But they don’t go away.
“You’re going to be alone forever,” Siffrin had said.

Summary
After the defeat of Gabriel Agreste and the disappearance of the mysterious peacock miraculous user, Marinette is left to try her best as Guardian and pick up the pieces. With the kwamis left in hibernation, no leads on the missing peacock miraculous, and no way to contact her beloved partner, she's left to her wit's end on where to proceed.
That is, until the prime suspect of the peacock wielder coincidentally takes up an apprenticeship at her parents' bakery. Adrien Agreste, son of Hawkmoth, has seemingly planted his roots in her home while Marinette was away for an apprenticeship. This could either be a disaster in the making, or the perfect opportunity to retrieve the missing miraculous... either way, it's war.
At least, it would be, if the gosh darn villain weren't so sweet!

Summary
Mirabelle doesn't know what to do. Not with her life, not with her faith, not with her own memory. Why does it feel like she's always forgetting something important?
Mirabelle is the Housemaiden. Isabeau is the Fighter. Odile is the Researcher. Bonnie is the Kid. And that's everyone!
It's raining in Dormont. If clouds cover the stars, are they still there?

Summary
Maybe then, this emptiness in his heart would finally be filled. Maybe then, he’d finally know who he was supposed to be. A person, with a name and a home and a family who loved him and a culture to stand upon, a country to call his own, someone who could smile and confidently answer the question ”Where are you from?”
In which Siffrin stands on a beach in Bambouche and thinks about home. Isabeau is there, too.Series

Summary
You forget everything. It’s in your nature. You forget your lines, you forget how to act, you forget your Fighter’s name and have a teeeeny little panic attack. But no biggie, that’s what the loops are for! Hahahahaha!
There’s just one tiny hiccup in your otherwise perfect plan: Isabeau himself, eyes wide, face pale, grip tight enough to bruise, anchoring your miserable self to this miserable world.

Summary
Prequel to: Line, Please
It’s been a little bit since the loops all ended. Siffrin thought he’d thrown out the script, but he and his family discover his lines are ingrained.
Can be read before or after Line, Please, this is a take on the first time Siffrin started “scripting.” Believe it or not, this turned out milder than I anticipated.

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
The dream you haul yourself up from tonight is tame — almost mundane, given the horrors your sleeping mind seems able to conjure up. The memory of it is already slipping through your fingers like sand as you try to recall specifics. But the residual anxiety of it persists in an uncomfortable tightness across your shoulders, a prickle along your forearms that you have to rub away with your palms.
As quietly as possible, you scoot out from under the blankets and push your way out of the tent to go and sit beside the banked coals of the campfire.
Where you had expected solitude, though, you instead discover you’re not alone in your late-night vigil.
(Or: Siffrin has a nightmare.)

“Whoops,” he says.
