    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    “Have you seen a cat?”

    What?

    “A cat,” Techno repeats, just as shaky as the first time. “He’s blonde, a tabby? Blue eyes? He’s really little, and I— I lost him.”

    Tommy blinks, stunned, as Techno lifts a hand and wipes the tears from his eyes. You’re still fucking shaking. Get out of the cold, you idiot.

    I’m not worth this.

    Or, shelter volunteer Techno rescues (kidnaps) a certain catshifter.

    Summary

    LOOP: 237
    FATALITIES: 238
    TURTLES CONSCIOUS: 3

    Leo tipped backward, letting the cool air of the night wash over his warm skin. He’d caught himself threatening to fall forward, probably straight into some diner’s dumpster, and taken the chance to right himself before he did something so completely ridiculous. Sensei would blow a fuse if he saw that. After all the drills he’d had Leo run through from such a young age, one would think that he’d retain one or two of them, especially in such a low-stakes environment.

    He shook his head, amused at the thought. He could probably recite the very Space Heroes episode he’d watched the day that his father first taught him the importance of his balance, yet the information all but disappeared from him now.

    It was weird how the brain retained memories. He supposed it had to do with their bases. Too bland, and they’d never stand out against the sea of all that came before them. Too eye-catching, and he’d never move past them. They had to be just right, just the correct blend of both for the mind to keep them.


    or, in an ironic turn of events, the only one unable to remember the time loop that always ends with Leo’s death is Leo.
