Slight spoilers for the future below. Jesus christ I was so late with this one that a new decade started.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Snow gently brushed against the windows of the quaint cottage you all found yourselves in. Despite this, it was impossible to see more than 6 feet out of the window before it dropped off into a seemingly endless white void.

The question of how and why RWBY, JNPR, and (Y/N), had gotten into this strange home had long passed by the friends, due to the amount of time they had already been there, having gone unanswered. Their host, the owner of the cottage, was being quite cryptic of what he said and did, cautiously so.

He had a black waistcoat over a navy blue shirt that was neatly tucked into his jeans, in fact, the mess of brown hair on his head was the only thing unkempt about him. He had introduced himself as the keeper of life, the universe, and everything before calling himself an asshole deciding that they would just call him Author.

Currently, he was pushing Pyrrha into line alongside the rest of RWBY behind a brown sofa, (Y/N) having already been made to sit on it, all of them confused. Seemingly content with his handiwork, he took a step back and took out a device, the same one that hadn't stopped pinging with 'notifications' when they first met him, and held it up to them. There was an audible click as he smirked devilishly.

Author: "Oh, if only Jack could see this... you're a lucky man (Y/N)."

(Y/N): "Right... sorry does this mean something to you?" He asked, gesturing to the girls and the sofa.

Author: "Not me specifically, I have better taste typically." He paused for a second. "That almost rhymed." A grin spread across his face.

Yang: "Right that's it! I'm officially over whatever this is!" She said as she jumped over the sofa and quickly closed the gap between herself and the brunette. "So you better explain what's going on or so help me god!" She raised her fists ready to pummel him for answers.

Author: "How can I help Yang?" He smirked slightly, only irritating her further. 'I have always wanted to say something like that... oh shit you guy's can read my thoughts now! Don't think about when ______ dies!'

Yang looked ready to deck him when (Y/N) carefully grabbed onto her wrists and pulled her into a hug, shuffling awkwardly backwards.

(Y/N): "Calm down." He whispered to her. "I don't think we're gonna get far threatening him." The two plopped down onto the sofa, much to the confusion of their friends.

However, Author just started laughing.

Author: "Okay, sorry. Completely my fault, I've been leading you all about for a while. I was just waiting for the last of the questions."

Yang: "Q-questions?" She paused confused as he just nodded.

Author: "Everyone take a seat..." All of the students found themselves suddenly sitting on the sofa, that had somehow expanded to fit them all.

Weiss: "How did you-?"

Author: "Put on a hat and take some hot cocoa..." Santa/elf hats dropped onto their heads, Nora and Ruby's eyes beginning to sparkle as mugs appeared in everyone's hand.

Blake: "We're not actually doing-"

Author: "And prepare for a non-descript holiday special!" Ruby, Jaune, and Nora cheered happily, easily overpowering Weiss & Blakes groans of protest.

Nora: "Oh come on you guys, It could be fun!"

Weiss: "I just don't see why we're doing it! We're not a show!" They all looked to Author who just chuckled nervously. "Right?"

Author: "Well... kinda. You see, your universe exists in a state where it can be viewed, copied, and edited by beings in a different, higher level, universe, who themselves are probably being controlled by another higher level universe and so on." He stopped his monologue as he had been pacing up and down. "Does that make sense?"

Blake: "Not really..."

Author: "Okay... take a book! All that lovely fiction about your favourite characters, telling tales of... meta-comedy apparently. It's all penned by someone but to those characters it would be real!"

Pyrrha: "So are lives are just the whims of a writer? We don't have any freewill?"

Author: "None at all!" A disheartened look swept the friends to which he frowned. "Well, kinda. You know those inspiring moments that some artists get when they figure put exactly what to write? That is a psychic backlash from the characters in their own universe thinking and deciding what they'd do, based upon their traits and personalities that is."

Blake: "That is a lot to take in at once..." She said as she gently massaged her temples, the others in similar states of mental gymnastics.

Author: "Well do you think you can answer some questions in the meantime?!" He clapped excitedly.

Yang: "Or what?"

With a jerk of his head and a twitch of his eye he looked at the group with a merry smile. For a brief second the floors of the cottage were splattered with raging blue flames, and out of a newly cracked window they could see Remnant crumbling into dust.

Author: "Or else I'll destroy your whole fucking world dearie." It stopped immediately after that, the impending sense of dread they had unknowingly gathered dissipating.

Ruby: "W-well, one or two couldn't hurt. Right?" She asked, getting wary looks from her team.

Author: "Excellent! First one is for you (Y/N). Canloh wants to know 'Do you think you have been a good person this year?'."

(Y/N): "Uhh yeah, why not. Haven't gotten into too much trouble, only pissed off Ozpin once or twice. As for good... yes? I haven't killed anyo- shit that White Fang asshole ruined my streak." Everyone gave him a double take of shock aside Ruby.

Blake: "Sorry, what?!"

(Y/N): "To be fair, I was rescuing Ruby!"

Blake: "That doesn't mean you can go around killing Faunus for no reason."

(Y/N): "I just said there was." He said gesturing to the poor embarrassed girl next to him. "We can argue about this later, I'm more concerned about this asshole at the minute."

Blake: "Did you just indirectly call me an asshole?" She glared harshly making (Y/N) pause for concern.

Author: "Oh that was precious. Messing with you guys directly is so much easier."

Jaune: "Uh, messing with us?" He chuckled nervously.

Author: "Yeaaaa. Like making you act slightly erratic, or changing how one would react in a situation. I've never had such control before!"

The whole group shared a look again, one that expressed the concern of needing to get this over as soon as possible.

Ruby: "Next question?" She laughed half-heartedly, as if to try and pacify the powerful being in front of them.

Author: "Yes, yes. My apologies, typically I keep my cool but the vessel I put my negati... you probably don't need to know any of that." He cleared his throat and smiled. "Well, 'Ruby how much has Weiss changed from asshole to friend?' Asks Well-Life-Aint-Fair. Fitting." Weiss held her tongue from any form of outrage, seeing how poorly that went for her friends.

Ruby: "Oh uh, I guess she's changed a lot?" The redhead looked over to her best friend as if looking for something to say about her. "She believes in us working as a team a whole lot more, that's for sure."

Yang: "Especially compared to the beginning of the year."

Weiss: "Hey, I was not that bad."

Blake: "Are you kidding me? Didn't you wake up early one day and demand we all do the same while calling us lazy?"

Weiss: "So?"

Yang: "It was a Saturday!"

Ruby: "After one of Glynda's insanely hard training tests!"

Weiss: "Point taken, I'm sorry you guys."

Yang: "Aww, Weiss, we don't actually care about that! We're just showing you how much you've changed-"

Blake: "Exactly you think the old Weiss would've apologised just now?"

Weiss: "You know what? You're right! I have become more mature."

(Y/N): "And she's back." He rolled his eyes audibly.

Author: "Simply wonderful, is the circle-jerk over?" He stopped confused at his own words. "I swear Jack if you've got my phone up there!" He shouted towards the window and the void after that, not faltering after looking at the teens again. "Well then... (Y/N) KurouAlex wants to know 'How many times were you close to death?' But I'll amend it too. 'How many times have you died?'"

(Y/N): "Is more times than I can count acceptable?"

Author: "Is living without a sun okay with you guys?"

(Y/N): "Well if I had to guess... a few 100 times? Probably into the 300-500 range by now."

Pyrrha: "And you're okay with that?"

(Y/N): "Oh god no, it scares me every time I nearly die because I know I'll feel it and the times before completely unabridged. I'm terrified of fighting anyone and anything in case I have to relive it all." He clasped a hand over his mouth, completely stunned by what he had admitted.

Author: "Sorry, no lies here. It's impossible." Pyrrha went tear-eyed and pulled (Y/N) into a hug. His other partners also getting quite emotional. "I'll just leave them a moment. Neo would you come out here please?"

Neo strutted out of the bedroom, her hips swinging slightly but her hand firmly on her murderous umbrella as she and Yang exchanged glares. She looked to Author who just gave a smile back.

Author: "Thank you for being here. The public, by that I mean Kaio-kengogetablack- what the hell kinda name is that? Anyway, he wants to know. 'Why are you so damn cute?'."

Neo looked around slightly surprised but was betrayed by her knowing smirk. Opening her umbrella she performed her signature bow and blew a kiss towards Author and then (Y/N), which got her a number of angry looks, before she stood back up and gave a small shrug. With a hop in her step, she retreated back to where she had came from to do who knows what. An aww soundtrack echoed out from nowhere as she left, Author pretending to tear up.

Author: "Isn't she just so humble? Anyway, Jauney fellow-" Said blonde appeared next to the powerful fellow, who then wrapped his arm around his shoulder with a small laugh. "Same guy wants to know 'Why are you so dense?' and to be honest so do a lot of people." A paper scroll appeared in front of the pair and began unravelling showing a metric crap-ton of names.

Jaune: "Dense?" A face-palm sounded out as Author tried to deal with, what should've been, the expected result.

Author: "Look at this, what do you see?" He said clicking his fingers before a canvas image materialised before them, intentionally facing away from the others.

The canvas piece, without going into too much detail, was of Pyrrha in gym clothes having worked up a sweat while bending over and uttering troubling words like 'I'm so hungry, maybe you can fill me up~'.

Jaune: "Pyrrha asking me to cook for her?" He concluded after a raised eyebrow and moments hesitation.

Author: "Exactly my dear fellow! Go take your seat." Jaune was let go from a vice like grip and slowly sat back down. 'As you can see dear readers, Jaune is a fucking idiot.'

The canvas dissipated into the empty void of nothingness as Author cleared his throat, seemingly looking for the strength to carry on.

Author: "Last one from him is for Ruby, I really should've made it one per person, 'Why do you love weapons so much?'."

Ruby: "Easy! Because they're awesome!"

Author: "Lovely... I'm so glad we could get that insight. I've got another one for you from LouPower0, Cookies or (Y/N)?" A spotlight began lighting her up as sweat began to pool due to the intrigued look on her right.

Ruby: "Well... if I had to choose... (Y/N)."

(Y/N): "You do appreciate me!" He said quickly grabbing her into a hug that made her go red in the face.

Author: "Such innocent love, let's ruin that shall we?"

A cheshire grin spread on his face as himself and (Y/N) disappeared only to reappear on what looked to be a talk show set in front of the group. Author was at the desk looking through note cards while (Y/N) was sat in a chair to his left, a confused look present on his face.

Author: "Fun fact, this is Volume 1 (Y/N) so the school year has only started for him." He said to the group of friends to try and quell their fears? Actually, they weren't sure what he was trying to do there. "Anyway, (Y/N), DAI-fanfic needs to know 'How many people you've banged and how kinky it was' thoughts?"

Ruby and Pyrrha almost immediately exploded in a flurry of red embarrassment, Yang and Blake were surprised for sure but seemed somewhat interested to know the answer. The others clearly did not want to know.

(Y/N): "Woah! Where did that come from?"

Author: "Please just answer the question as I didn't want to think about it either." He frowned.

(Y/N): "Right... Well a dozen... or two? It's not something I'd keep track of. As for kinkiness, of which I'll spare the details as a child is present, there was a Faunus, tiger maybe, that I faintly remember... well let's just say I wish I remembered more." He smirked slightly but stopped at the disapproving looks from his, unbeknownst to him, girlfriends.

Author: "Right, well, I'll do future you a favour and shut you up." The small set was gone in an instant and (Y/N) was back next to Ruby, looking confused. "Due to wibbily-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff no one will be able to remember this so don't go too hard on him."

Blake sighed in a small huff while Ruby and Pyrrha couldn't look straight at (Y/N), Yang, as expected, was unfazed. 

Author: "Hmm, Shupershanic asks Vol 7 Nora, 'How was the kiss?' oh this could end badly..."

Nora's clothes changed in moments as she matured slightly. Briefly she looked around confused her eyes settling on Ren, then almost tearing up she refocused on Author.

Nora: "What. Kiss." She stated slowly as she began to stand angry, getting ready to lash out at him.

Author: "Not dying today thank you." He said and with a snap of his fingers Vol 3 Nora was back looking as dazed as (Y/N) had. "Okay, moving very swiftly on. fireghost647 asks 'why (Y/N) doesn't hide his wallet around... your partners'."

(Y/N): "Well that's easy. It's because I'd do pretty much anything to make them happy, that includes giving them money when they need it or to surprise them." He winked at Yang who nudged Blake to listen. "And I would give up everything I have just to make them happy if they were sad." Nora, Ruby and Pyrrha awwed while Yang fake gagged.

Blake: "Your lucky I'm weak to sappy romantics..." She laughed while shaking her head.

Author: "Oh! Another one for Neo! Volume 6 this time-" He cut himself off as he felt a few sets of daggers lock onto him. "I'll leave you to your moment." He disappeared without another word.

Meanwhile at CMEN's dorm.

The four 'students' were merely lazing about counting down the unbelievably slow seconds until they could destroy the godforsaken.

Mercury was messing with his legs, one of which he had completely disassembled for repair, but he was beginning to get frustrated as he couldn't find a screw that he had put down two seconds ago.

Emerald was using her semblance on Merc to annoy him, hopefully to death, by making him unable to see the screws he put down. Anytime he let out a frustrated groan she had to stifle her laughs.

Lastly Cinder and Neo were just on their scrolls, not paying attention to the others antics, the former was reading some online books while the latter was trying to find a gift for her boss, whether or not he actually celebrated the holidays he would get pouty if he didn't get one.

Interrupting all of their days was Author suddenly appearing in the room, holiday hats and hot cocoas appearing just like it had with RWBY.

All were stunned by the mans sudden intrusion and holiday festivities. That was until Emerald voiced what they were all thinking.

Emerald: "What the fuck?"

Author: "Yes the fuck indeed!" He exclaimed walking closer to Cinder. "I thought you had a Grimm arm... and an eyepatch..."

Cinder: "I'm sorry?"

Author: "Yea, you were total ripoff Jack Sparrow. That was funny, this is just... attractive and I don't like it."

Emerald: "Hey you can't talk to her li-"

Author: "Oh save me the complaints I don't want to deal with useless lesbians until I have to. So do me a favour and zip it." He mimicked the action and when Emerald went to retort no sound came out as she silently screamed at the man.

Mercury: "Hah, serves you right."

Cinder: "Quiet, both of you-"

Mercury: "Not that she has a cho-"

Cinder: "Mercury!" He stopped his joke in it's tracks as she then turned to the seemingly powerful man. "I'm sorry about my friend's, how can I help?"

Author: "Just need to ask a question then I'll be out of your... long hair... see you cut that as well."

Cinder: "Then ask away."

Author: "Not you. Her." He gestured to Neo who had just changed to her Volume 6 self. "The_Harvest_Lord asks 'on a scale of 1-10 how much do you miss Roman'."

Neo thought for a long few seconds leaving the others to sit in akward silence until she finally held up 6 fingers.

Author: "Ah brilliant thank you all for your time!"

Before Cinder could interject he was gone and Neo was back to normal, unaware that anything had happened besides the hats and drinks. The effect on Emerald also lifted as she decried her protests.

Emerald: "Who the hell is he calling useless!"

Cinder: "Well, as a lesbian..."

Author reappeared at the cottage, slightly suprised to see no one on the sofa. It was easy to spot, however, that they were all trying to find a way put of the cottage.

Author: "Okay, I can see you're getting uncomfortable but we're almost done and then I'll take you back to Beacon. If that's okay?"

In a near unanimous frustration everyone reluctantly agreed, clearly not happy to still have to play to his tune.

Author: "Brilliant! Next one is for Volume 7 Ruby, soo."

Sliding over to said girl he grabbed her hand and held it above her head before spinning her once or twice before retreating leaving her hand. Ruby stopped herself, slightly dazed by the sudden movemeng, while everyone just stared at this much older version of their friend.

(Y/N): "Fuck she's hot." There was a very mumbled agreement from a couple of people which went unnoticed.

Author: "Ruby my dear, xxQrowBrawnwenxx, asks 'What do you think of the theory Qrow is your father?' Care to answer?"

Ruby: "Uhh sure. I don't know why'd there would be theories about me though." She laughed slightly as she looked over her past friend's, her eyes lingering on a few of them and finally Yang's arm. "The idea is quite silly but I guess I could see why you would think that... sorta. He is just my uncle though and I wouldn't want him to change." She said looking back to Author with a smile.

Author: "Lovely, back to the future with you."

Ruby nodded and waved goodbye to her friend's, who returned the favour. She then changed back to normal and stumbled forward, faceplanting the sofa, all elegance she had gone causing a laugh from everyone.

Author: "That was beautiful. Anyway, the-lying-prince24 has a couple of questions for you all. 'Yang, Ruby, and Blake if you could change your semblance what would you change it to?'"

Yang: "Puh-lease I'm awesome just the way I am!" She gloated, clenching her fists with a smirk.

Ruby: "Flight! No! Teleporting! Wait! Creating weapons! Actually super speed! Wait I have that already... can you come back to me?"

Blake: "Hmm... the ability of foresight would never go unappreciated. But perhaps, the power to see someones true intentions would be what I'd pick."

Author: "Interesting, I suppose. Next one, '(Y/N) if you were a girl for one week what would you do?'"

(Y/N): "Well not much would change would it-" A small laughter erupted from all the women present. "Okay, okay. I'd probably go to one of these lovely ladies for help with clothes, necessities, etc, and then precede with life as normal. But I'd probably see which of my bodies my lovely girlfriends react to more." He suggested while looking from Yang to Pyrrha, the latter blushing slightly.

Author: "Aside from the last comment, that sounds expected. Finally, 'Jaune, Ruby and Weiss if you were a faunus, what kind of faunus would you want to be?'"

Jaune: "A bear! I'd be so cool and ferocious as a bear!"

Nora: "More like a teddy bear!" She said causing an uproar of laughter from the others while Jaune pouted.

Ruby: "Hehe. Okay, okay... hmm... I'd be a wolf or a puppy! And I would have such cute ears or a really fluffy tail!" Blake's ears flattened onto her head slightly annoyed but was amused by her antics.

Weiss: "I would want to be a Fox. I believe they are some of the most beautiful creatures in the wilderness. Especially the winter foxes in Atlas."

Author: "I am currently resisting the urge to turn Jaune into a teddy bear faunus and it hurts."

Nora: "Dooo it!"

Author: "No, no. We need to move on. 'Ruby, Blake, Yang, and Pyrrha, in as few words as possible, what is the best part of (Y/N)?' Asks jesseeyrich. Try not to stroke his ego too much."

Yang: "HIS CO-mpany." She grinned evilly as everyone stared at her, suprised at the outburst. "I enjoy his company anytime we're together."

Ruby: "Hmm, his sense of humour, when it is not puns!"

Blake: "I suppose his maturity, most of the time." She tacked onto the end while he stuck his tounge out at her, causing her to hide a smile.

Pyrrha: "He's cuddly..." She admitted only slightly embarrassed. (Y/N) just gave a devilish smile back at her.

Author: "Well wasn't that sweet? I suggest that you compliment them back... later. The next question is from SuperSaiyanJedi1, 'What is Vol7's opinion on Vol1?' Oh..." He paused as he looked at Pyrrha. "In as few words as possible please..."

With a snap of his fingers, as they were beginning to get used to, all of them transformed to their Volume 7 selves aside Pyrrha, who just disappeared all together.

Ruby: "I- I was a bit naive and childish back then." She sighed.

Weiss: "Arrogant and self conscious. I should've been more open."

Blake: "Close minded, which is quite ironic actually. I was also far too afraid of what people thought..."

Yang: "To be honest... annoying and overbearing on everyone. I just didn't want anyone to be down, and you can see how well I followed my own advice."

Jaune: "I can't believe I was so awkward."

Ren: "Naive. As well as quiet, altough that hasn't changed much."

Nora: "I mean... I suppose I was very over energetic..."

(Y/N): "I was a fucking idiot for trusting Ozpin."

Author: "Rrright. To everyone aside (Y/N), nathancarter25 wants to know, 'What do you think of Ironwoods plan?' Also can you harass me for more chapters?"

Ruby: "It could work. A united world against the Grimm could change the war, but she's immortal... it's tough." She then got a slight glint in her eye. "Also, oh Archer, could you please make some more chapters it would make a lot of people very happy."

Weiss: "It's not fully thought out. What we need right now is to focus on settling Atlas and getting them to work together, not being at eachothers throats." She then looked towards Author. "I can't believe you're slacking and not releasing chapters for your followers!"

Blake: "The idea for the arena is solid but the way he is treating mantle is just wrong!" She stated trying to not sound angry. "And Archer it would be amazing if you could release more chapters for everyone to read."

Yang: "It's stupid! How could he believe that would cause anything other than panic? And the mantle situation is just getting worse and worse..." She then put on a flirtatious smile. "Oh Archer~"

Author: "Nope!"

Jaune: "I don't really know what's right or wrong anymore." He sighed. "Hey Archer, Buddy, could you release more chapters?"

Ren: "It is the best chance we have. If you could release more chapters, people would appreciate it."

Nora: "It's awful! He is treating Mantle like dirt! How could he!" She forced herself to calm down and put on a mischievous smile. "Archer! Archer! Hey! Hey Archer!"

Author: "I am not dealing with this."

Everyone turned back to normal and Pyrrha reappeared, no one remembering anything.

Author: "Phew. Okay all of you. Pokefan12r asks 'what mythical creature would you all want to be?'"

Ruby: "Being a Mermaid would be awesome."

Weiss: "I would love to be a Pegasus, so elegant."

Blake: "Chimeria, I believe they're just misunderstood."

Yang: "I'd be an awesome Dragon!"

Jaune: "I'd love to be a Griffon! They're awesome!"

Pyrrha: "I believe being a Phoenix would be interesting."

Nora: "Unicorn, duh!"

Ren: "I'd probably also wish to be a Dragon."

(Y/N): "I suppose being a Phoenix would be fitting for myself."

Author: "Very nice you all. Hmm this one is for me and one for (Y/N). RucianFirefall asks 'Archer could you add Penny to the harem? She'd be a good plot motivator. Also Vol6 (Y/N), what do you think of Ozpins and Salems situation?'"

A quick transformation was all that was needed before (Y/N) launched into a rant.

(Y/N): "Screw Ozpin, that fucking asshole mislead everyone into doing what he ordered while hiding everything from everyone! She's immortal and can't be killed, what the hell was his plan?! And now he is hiding away in a little boys head!" Author, slightly suprised at the reaction quickly changed (Y/N) back, leaving them all comfused.

Author: :Okay... as for Penny, how in the hell would she be a plot motivator? Until that is answered, no. Oh, this one is for Penny. Hopelessness1810_ asks if Vol7 Penny is okay and says that he missed her."

Penny opened the door, seriously confused as to how she arrived here. Author quickly went over to her, wrapping an arm around her, and pulling her over to the others, Ruby getting stars in her eyes as she looked at her new body.

Penny: "Greetings! It has been a while since I have seen you all. Oh, Pyrrha, I have wanted to say I forgive you for the longest time." She smiled sweetly, only confusing Pyrrha who just smiled and nodded back. "As for the question, yes I have been treated well and I am okay. Thank you for asking." Penny then turned back to Author. "I need to get back to Atlas if that is okay."

Author: "Of course, see you another time."

Ruby: "Bye Penny!" She said excitedly before she disappeared in a puff of green smoke.

Author: "Brillaint only two more questions. Syphor_L asks 'Ruby and (Y/N) what happened when the room became a mess that one time in Vol3?' I will just need to age them up a second."

(Y/N) and Ruby's eyes widened when they had aged a couple of weeks, neither exactly eager to answer. That was a mistake as Yang cracked her knuckles.

Yang: "Well?" She asked slowly while standing up.

Ruby: "Y-yang it wasn't like that..."

(Y/N): "Yea! It has just been worded horribly." Yang sighed as she calmed down relieved.

Yang: "Then what happened?"

Ruby: "We were hanging out just playing games then (Y/N) cheated-"

(Y/N): "I did not!"

Ruby: "So I threw a pillow at him and it kinda escalated from there."

Pyrrha: "So you had a pillow fight, actually a pillow war?"

(Y/N): "Exactly, that was all."

Yang: "Well that is a relief. So, how did you supposedly cheat?"

(Y/N): "Oh, uh..."

Author: "Listen deal with that in a minute, I have one more question for Ruby and (Y/N) from jacobprime311. 'If you two were going to have a child what would you name them?'" He said with a smirk that was hidden from Yang as she was now glaring daggers at (Y/N).

Yang: "Why would somebody be asking that?" She said through gritted teeth.

(Y/N) smiled as he held up a finger and looked past Yang to Author with a frown.

(Y/N): "I hate you Author." He then ran away from Yang making her chase him.

Ruby: "Yang don't kill him!" She sighed and looked back to Author. "Summer and maybe Damien? We didn't actually speak much about it, he just tried to distract me to win." She sighed before darting after Yang and (Y/N) in a flurry of rose petals.

Author: "Well then. That is all the time I have so let's send you all back to where you belong."

With a snap of his fingers everyone was put back where they belong at Beacon, no one remembering a thing about who they had met or what had happened.

The cottage slowly reverted back to an office and Author collapsed onto the chair at his desk, clearly tired. With a sigh he put his head on the desk.

Author: "I never want to do that again."

Before he could finish his mumblings Jack burst through the door in a santa hat looking very excited.

Jack: "Alright lets do this thi-... You bastard you've already done it." Author nodded, face still on the desk. "Alright I see how it is. Ahem, dear readers, while Archer might have given up I have not! I will be happy to do a shorter version of this for you in the comments if you have a question." He said as he sat on the only other chair in the office. "But it will only involve the characters you list. Think of it as a little scenario that you help to create."

Author: "Right do whatever. I'm going to bed. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, a great 2019, and I look forward to seeing what 2020 holds. Until then, See Ya."
