Gluttony indigestion.

Summary:

Everyone knows the story of Re:Forgotten: Subaru loses his name, is accused of being the Sin Archbishop of the Pride, and is tortured...

But Subaru is a resilient and shrewd individual. He escaped after a month, without dying even once, and fled to Karagiri... And now he plans a way to defeat Gluttony and reclaim his name...

Unfortunately, fate has a peculiar sense of humor, and Gluttony devours his memories... And then devours his other name... And then devours the wrong name twice and... Damn, Gluttony is getting sick from eating so much!

Notes:

The first chapter contains quite a few spoilers for the fanfic, since this is where I plan for this story. I'm leaving this here because, frankly, I have extreme difficulty finishing my fanfics, so if I start writing and don't finish, this is what I generally plan for the narrative. I don't mind if someone gets inspired and writes this fanfic if they're interested... Anyway, beware of spoilers!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Spoilers! General story structure

Chapter Text

- After arc 5, Subaru loses his name and ends up being accused of being pride and subsequently imprisoned, abandoned by his friends, and tortured (Classic Re: Forgotten); [1year and 2 mounths]

- But after 1 month in prison, he successfully escapes the dungeon and skillfully flees to Karagiri, where he meets Halibel, managing to recruit him for his team, as well as Shion and other characters, of course; [1year and 3 mounths]

- There he founds an unofficial mercenary company and frees several slaves, becoming known as the Breaker of Chains, which makes him the target of many assassination attempts, which go wrong for many people. He ends up founding a secret village of freed slaves in a safe zone, with his mercenary company being responsible for protecting the settlement, which flourishes well under his leadership, all within 2 months; [1 year and 5 months]

- Under his secret identity of Natsumi Schwartz, he publishes several books that gain considerable relevance, especially one that narrates a story based on his days in prison when he was accused of being Pride;

- This changes when, on a secret mission under his alternate identity at a private party, everyone is ambushed by the witch cult attack, and he ends up having his memories devoured. He, along with several wealthy members of Karagiri, are kidnapped and taken near the border of Vollachia;

- Due to certain events, Natsumi ends up in Vollachia without memories, accompanied only by Spica, and now tries to survive the chaos the country is going through;

- He eventually allies himself with Priscilla, gaining the girl's affection, and the chaos in Vollachia lasts about 3 months, with Subaru gaining a great reputation in Vollachia and winning the emperor's friendship; [1y and 8 months]

- Unfortunately, Natsumi Schwartz's name ends up being devoured again, and during the chaos, now nameless, in an attempt to escape the cult, she goes to Lugunica, with the cult relentlessly pursuing her until she is captured and tortured by the cult for two weeks, before she and other victims are saved by the alliance of camps. In the chaos, she ends up saving Rem's life, but is injured in the process. With Rein nearby during the situation and her heroic action, and her status as a rescued victim of the cult, nobody believes she is involved and they truly believe she was a victim of gluttony this time;

- At the same time, Halibel and a team came to Vollachia tracking Subaru. The loss of Schwartz's name hardly affects their search for Subaru. In doing so, they also find Spica and kind of stay with her;

- During this time, she ends up forming a strong relationship with the camps, helping to heal Crush, and her experience with medicine makes Felix admire her, enchanting Julio, making Rem fall in love, gaining the affection of Rein and Emillia, Ana herself begins to have feelings for Natsumi because of her intelligence [2 years]

- Also at this time Capella, who had taken on the appearance of Subaru, acted as a false archbishop, to further tarnish his name, some time ago she creates a plan to kill Natsumi and eliminate the rest of the camps, in this she isolates Natsumi and tries to kill her, but is surprised by a magic chainsaw that Schwartz invented and ends up cut into pieces and burned, barely surviving by faking her death (Part of her body escaped through the grate she was on while she was burning in Subaru's form), but also falling in love with Schwartz in the process;

- Natsumi is acclaimed as the assassin of the Pride Archbishop Subaru and gains considerable trust from the camps and a great reputation, while Capella assumes another form and joins Emilia's camp using an alternate identity (Allepac) to get closer to Natsumi;

- Shortly after, the cult attacks, led by one of the Archbishops of Gluttony who tries to devour her memories again, but amidst the confusion Capella intervenes, separating herself from everyone for a moment, but because of the fight with the Archbishop, she loses her memories while in her disguised form, with Natsumi's interruption the Archbishop flees, while Capella is left without memories of her original self, she ends up being taken in by the camps, without having any idea that she was originally a member of the cult;

- For months Schwartz gains considerable popularity through her inventions, medical advancements and the publication of several books, many of which have many people in love with her, but she herself doesn't realize it; [2 years and 3 mounths]

- However, after so much time in peace, the cult attacks again with the other sibling of gluttony, and the bishop of gluttony successfully devours the name "Subaru Natsuki" and flees without realizing that the name "Schwartz Natsuki" remains. Everyone forgets the name of "Archbishop Pride", but everyone still remembers that Schwartz killed Pride, but she herself doesn't realize this fact and simply remains confused;

- Capella ends up creating a very strong bond of friendship with everyone and ends up falling in love with Natsuki again (in her disguise, of course);

- Halibel and company arrive in the area, but forget that they were looking for Subaru. Ironically, gluttony replaces the memories related to Subaru with Schwartz, so for their gang, Schwartz was the one who was falsely accused of being Pride and imprisoned. This causes a huge confusion;

- When the perspective that Schwartz was imprisoned, accused of being Pride, reaches the camps, everyone is confused because, for them, Schwartz killed Pride;

- The confusion only increases when the Archbishop of Gluttony realizes he needs to eat Schwartz's other name and attacks her again, this time stealing her other name and making everyone forget about her again (She was unaware of the confusion she was experiencing, as she was alone at the time), which causes everyone to start having a mental breakdown due to the extremely confused memories (Except for Spica, who was starting to feel unwell because of her authority);

- Because of the confusion, to escape the fury of Gluttony, Schwartz pretends to be the Archbishop of Pride Subaru to deceive the cultists. This works because of her scent and a false gospel, but she herself has no idea that they don't know who Subaru is. She deceives the cultists long enough to escape during the confusion;

- She gets lost for 2 months, using the name Subaru to deceive the cult and destroy it from the inside out. She ends up being recognized by the kingdom for destroying a large concentration of cultists, but before she can reveal her true identity, the other sibling of Gluttony attacks her and devours her memories, making her forget her name Schwartz and making her think that her name is really Subaru; [2 years and 5 mounths]

- Eventually, Subaru ends up joining the camps, simply because a bunch of members scattered around the camp fell in love with him at first sight for a reason that nobody really knows;

- The council of sages finds him suspicious and orders him to be secretly arrested because they think he is Archbishop Pride. Ironically, he is released a few hours later by Julius and Felix, who are in love with him, as is practically everyone else, which makes all the camps angry at the council of sages;

- After 1 month, everyone starts to more or less settle down, with Subaru publishing a book; [2 years & 6 mounths]

- One of the gluttonous siblings prepares to attack the camps again, but he is quickly eliminated by Spica before he has the opportunity, causing everyone's name to return, including Subaru's and Schwartz's, causing everyone to have a crisis, while Subaru is left with no memory of anything;

 

Notes:
* As Subaru/Schwartz's name is devoured by gluttony, the archbishop begins to have frequent stomach pains, causing them to have a special hatred for Schwartz/Subaru;
* Each time the cult attacked when Subaru had his memory or name devoured, they suffered massive losses, while few people died, to the point that near the end of the story, the cult was urgently in need of followers;
* After the other archbishop of gluttony is defeated, and the memories return, Subaru can have his happy ending, although he is now unsure of his gender identity. Capella, after recovering her memories, remained in disguise, as she had actually befriended many people at the camp. Not that she regrets the things she had done, it's just that she preferred to leave her life as an archbishop behind in favor of maintaining her bonds… She remains in love with Natsuki and will do everything to keep her identity secret for as long as she can;
* It is Schwartz, a Capella without memories, and Felix who together heal everyone affected by Capella's blood;
* It is unknown if Capella's identity is ever discovered by anyone;
* Pandora doesn't know what's happening because she's too busy reading and creating fanfiction about the stories Subaru/Schwartz published. She'll be occupied with this for about 100 years, until the supply of new Subaru stories runs out. At that point, the witches' cult will no longer exist.

Notes:

Frankly, there are some things that don't quite work like the original work, but this fanfic is meant to be crack; it takes liberties in altering some things to make it funnier.
