Summary
A summary of the events that led the roleswap!Purpled (Vio) to decide that he was going to reform a not-quite-canon DSMP.
Now with a new & improved lead in for the fics! There's less than 400 words now + a shortened list of which fics actually matter for Three to the Infinite.
(( If you've decided to read the currently ongoing, fully written version of Mostly Benevolent, this will spoil a lot of things! Including how that business all shakes out and a fair bit of stuff about DayDream and his four terrible gremlin sons he loves very much.))

Summary
Atlas has an idea, and then regrets having that idea. His brothers are impossible.
Please note that it's not a gurantee that this will be added to; this is just a fun way for me to vent my own screaming over this nonsense on a meta level. Dee is becoming my archenemy because he's so picky.
The time frame is post-kids running away from Darkza, pre-blinding + double wing removal.
You're gonna be lost if you don't at least read the background info.

Summary
Before he was DayDream, he was just Dream. Before they were his sons, they were four kids he felt enough guilt over to offer petty tokens of penance they would never understand.
Or: Day and his sons, back when they were neither of those things.
Takes place long before the canon-equivalent events in the role swap world. Can probably be read without needing the background info, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Summary
Theseus spared her for a reason.
Or: Threats made to role swap!Niki.
Takes place after Atlas' revival and after Vio ends up in the canon world, but before Day and Theo appear in there as well.
You're going to be lost unless you read the background info chapter at minimum.

Summary
Day making sure all his sons love each other changed everything, and yet it changed nothing.
Or: The roleswapped world's version of the 16th went a little differently than the canon one. Not enough to not be devastating, but enough to matter.
Takes place, as you might be able to guess, just before and during the equivalent events to November 16th. I'd suggest reading the background info just to, like, know what's up with everyone.

Summary
Information is a powerful tool. In the right hands, it's a deadly one. Day resolves to not let it fall into said hands. He will gladly pay to stop his family from being harmed further.
Or: DayDream and Purpled (Vio, later on) make a deal.
Takes place not long after the swapped world's version of the 16th and well before Purpled/Vio end up in the place he eventually reforms.
Background info is very needed for this one and An Unwelcome Encore is highly encouraged as well.

Summary
Theseus Was-Taken has a lot of titles, but the one he wears with the most pride is brother. He can, will, and has killed countless numbers for the sole purpose of protecting them.
This time, though, he fails.
Or: roleswap!November 16th from Theo's perspective.
You're going to be lost if you jump in here blind.
