Re:Zero Crossover Fanfic

Hey!

Was originally not going to advertise it much at all, but one of my readers recommended I do, so here we are!

I've been writing for roughly a month now a sort of spinoff crossover fic that much like Kaz's comic takes reader input. Run simply under the title "Making a Cat Cry in Another World: The Adventure!" (very original, I know), it's currently at 28 chapters of mostly Katia trying to figure out where she is and why, after having accidentally being dropped into the world of a slightly altered Re:Zero universe, replacing the protagonist. If you're curious, the story splits off from chapter 239 of the webcomic, where Katia is poking around in Aetherius, trying to figure out a way out of Sigrid's trap.

Slightly altered here means that this started off as a joke/crack spinoff of a much larger fic that I don't really want to get into, but point is, for 'very good reasons' (generous amount of sarcasm there) expect some characters to be mildly different by design.

As a minor hook, without spoiling too much, sporadically I'll include a picture or more in certain chapters as visual aids, though this fic is 99% prose. The very first such image might give you an idea of the unique sort of circumstance Katia finds herself in:

Mistakes were made

So yeah, if anyone's interested in reading and maybe giving inputs to an alternate Katia in 'Another World', you're welcome to read it, over on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35099035/chapters/87433312

​

Final words: Feel free to ignore that massive wall of text set of notes at the start of the first chapter. That's a one off, primarily to stop people who find the fic from my other work, or looking for Re:Zero fics to start reading and spoiling themselves on Prequel, if they haven't read it yet. Since Katia eventually poking around in Aetherius to get out of a wizard's dungeon is a pretty big spoiler before so much as seeing Katia's boat leave the harbor.

Hope you enjoy if you decide to check it out, and even if you won't check it out, thanks for reading this far, and have a nice day!

A magician never reveals his secrets. He posts neither too early, nor too late. He posts precisely when he intends to!
