It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about Time Loop fanfics? What makes them work for you? Can you recommend a great fic where time keeps turning back? 

#TropeChats

@FandomChats i love time loops! it's one of those plots i keep telling myself i want to tackle someday but still haven't found the right angle... i love angst and i love stories where everything feels hopeless (whether it turns out well in the hand or not) so time loops are perfect for me!

@FandomChats here are 2 recs with different vibes:

Sisyphus by esama, Harry Potter gen https://ao3.org/works/1113651 i won't spoil it, but let's just say this one isn't for those who enjoy happy resolutions, lol.

And Again by Riona, Danganronpa gen https://ao3.org/works/663904 i won't spoil this one either, but it left a big impression on me back when the first DR was getting big in western fandom!

@FandomChats ...these make me realize i guess i haven't read many time loops with romance, lol. maybe this'll get me to write some... pokémon does play well with these sorts of shenanigans (as someone who has written pokémon fic involving time travel, i would know..!)
