Summary
There's usually a reason for things, right? So why is Shermie living the same life over and over and over again? He doesn't have the answers, or even the questions. Is it torture for past mistakes? Or is it something out of his control entirely?
Or, what does it mean to be trapped in a cycle of reincarnation without any purpose.

Summary
Zeenia Lavellan has lived over two thousand lives and she remembers them all with a crystal clarity.
//
She wakes the same and different. Always remembers everything because the voices inside her—triune, nymphic—twist the arteries behind her eyes' lids to show a tree of every decision, every consequence. She knows what it is to be because the happenings unchanged are not hued a sepia, are clear as the crystal stalactites that grow in caved alcoves of Emprise du Lion.
Knowledge is not feeling or touch. Knowledge can be envy.
//
A fill for this prompt! I took some artistic liberties but genuinely had so much fun filling it. Thank you for submitting it :)

Summary
"Forget about the whole “time loops probably weren’t mentally healthy” thing. This could mean he actually got a chance to get Lyf out of this situation alive, and they were far too interesting to just let die. Mentally healthy option or not, Marius was taking it."
But time loops are a little more complicated than they look, aren't they?
Inspired, of course, by Groundhog Day.

Summary
She wakes to the same cracked pavement, the same rusted skyline, the same infuriating ghoul kicking her awake. No matter what she does, the story refuses to change. She fights, she runs, she falls. The wasteland swallows her whole, spits her back out, and dares her to try again.
But something is different this time. A flicker of memory where there shouldn’t be. A choice that wasn’t there before. And Hancock—watching her just a little too closely, like he’s waiting for her to catch up to something she can’t quite grasp.
If this is a game, then she’s going to break it. One way or another.

Summary
“Tell me, Qiqi, is this day familiar to you?”
“Nothing is familiar to me,” she tells Mona. “I can’t remember ten minutes ago, let alone this morning. It’s because I’m dead.”
Mona doesn’t know how to respond to that. “Er, right. Dead. Regardless of your unalive status, it seems as though you’re stuck in a loop. The same day repeated, over and over. There must be something you have to get done, some task.”
Qiqi relives the same day until she completes a very important task. Written for Icy Resurrection, a Qiqi Zine.

Summary
Gosalyn knew that she had to change. The way she had treated romance and dating in the past wasn't going to sustain her in the long run. She had talked about it extensively with her therapist already, but it all came down to one thing. Gosalyn could think around the reasons and find every self-serving one that was out there, but one reason was all she needed and that was the sheer undeniable fact that Webby was worth changing for.
She knew that she could start this relationship off the way that Webby deserved. All she needed to do was pull off a perfect Valentine’s Day.
Couldn’t be too hard, right?

Summary
A Groundhog Day style timeloop brings Mr. Quinn back in time to loop over the two days in “The Big Bang Job” when the team confronted Damien Moreau head-on. Having heard the tale from the team and more stories of Moreau from Eliot, Quinn decides to save the team some trouble and kill Moreau and Chapman on his own. It works…but as the two days are up, he returns right to the beginning of the loop. So he does it again. And again. And again. His mission soon becomes more challenging, because Moreau is also aware of the loop and desperately trying to survive the mysterious boogeyman coming to kill him.
This is how it ends…

Summary
“And somehow, within the loop, he feels freer than he’s ever felt before. It’s like some of the pressures on him that had existed for so long he didn’t even notice them had eased up and he could just breathe and be more freely. For once, absolutely no one watching him — except maybe Chuck, and fuck that guy. It feels almost like being a demon again, in a weird way. Not the same lack of morals, but a lack of inhibition.
His whole life, he’s always needed to be a certain person. He’s known exactly what lines not to cross, what he was and wasn’t allowed to do. He knew his role in the world, he knew how to move and contort himself to always stay inside of that box. Pretend to be that guy, pretend that it just came naturally in the hopes that one day it would. Straying outside of those lines had never brought anything except punishment. From his dad, from the universe. He’d thought that was just the way of the world, how it went for a guy like him.
But right now, there are no consequences. Right now, he doesn’t need to be anyone.”
Dean goes to bed the day Cas dies and wakes up trapped in a time loop reliving the same day.

Summary
It could be considered a final act of kindness from him. He then lost will in his body, toppling backward and fell from the roof. The wind lightly brushed past him as he closed his eyes, the pain overtaking him until he felt nothing.
.... Until his eyes shot open again.
Shen Qingqiu shot upright from a lying position. The painful feeling of his meridians being broken had vanished and was the only ghost of pain when he remembered it. He sighed. He should now be in the plant body.
Shen Qingqiu inspects his surrounding, surprised to see no exposed dirt in sight. Rather, he's sitting down on a wooden floor. Wasn't he here already? What's going on?
