    Summary

    Something stirs within the peaks,
    A hunger old as stone that speaks.
    A boy is claimed, his kin pursue,
    The mountains keep what they are due.

    Or, how every single person Natsuki Subaru has ever met in Lagunica has lied to him. About everything. About everyone.

    Summary

    Natsuki Subaru.
    A genius strategist. A hero.
    The person who took down the「White Whale」, and the second person in this century to defeat a Sin Archbishop, the most active one at that.
    But is he really the person who he seems to be to others?
    Obviously not.
    In reality, he is just a broken mess that doesn't show it to others. All he does is break himself over and over, and by some miracle, remain strong for his loved ones. He hides his pain behind masks so that his friends won't worry about him. And nobody will ever know his torment. Ever. He will repeat this process until nothing of the past 'him' is left.
    Thus, the one who calls himself Warden has sent his loved ones and friends to watch his suffering from the beginning, to understand and help him… Until it becomes too late.
    Conveniently for him, Anastasia Hoshin has organized a meeting of four out of five election campaigns in the Watergate City of Pristella – a perfect opportunity to show Subaru's hellish life and for them to later discuss it.
    Arc 3 is over and finally the last one is left.
    Nothing can go wrong…
    …Can it?

    Summary

    I spent the last year and a half reading every Re:Zero reaction fic I could find, and now, here’s my own attempt at a worldwide reaction. The world watches Re:zero, arcs 1-9.

    Credit to the writers who came before me, especially Feopyr and “The 4 Nations Witness the Strongest Existence". I used their viewing-description template, and Feopyr, if you feel this crosses a line, just tell me — I’ll remove it and write my own, (please don’t, it would take forever).
    I wrote this out of spite because I wanted to prove I could. Whoever said writing is fun is a liar, but it does calm me down. After reading so many fics, I figured out what formats I liked and daydreamed scenarios nonstop until the ao3 curse forced me to finally make my own.

    Fun fact: if you check Feopyr’s comments, you’ll see me praising their work; two days later I got a fever for three days, and wrote 30,000 words at once.
    So here it is — my attempt.

    I want advice. Real advice. Grammar, characterization, missed details, ideas for future arcs — everything. And if anyone wants to beta read, let me know in the comments.

    (Notes will explain my warning and why I didn’t say this at the start.)
    (Chapters will not be consistent sizes.)

    Summary

    Subaru Natsuki is your average convenience store customer—until he's suddenly isekai’d… into the body of Aura the Guillotine, one of the most infamous demons of her world.
    One second he’s reaching for instant noodles, the next he’s getting called a monster and murdered by a beautiful but terrifying thousand-year-old elf named Frieren.

    Trapped in a body that's not his, burdened with Aura’s demonic legacy and her terrifying magic, Subaru must navigate a world that wants him dead for crimes he didn’t commit (yet).
    The only way out might be through: through death, through empathy, through the absurdity of being a demon girl with pigtails.

    (TL;DR: Subaru becomes Aura, moments before her canon death against Frieren... he's so cooked!)
