Summary
If Origin faltered in the last moments before it recreated the two worlds, perhaps it would restore them at some earlier point. Perhaps Ouroboros would find themselves flung into the past, where they would have to struggle against the great conflicts that would eventually create Aionios. In such a case, they would certainly end up in their home universes, even as time rewound... but not this time. As Mio wakes up amidst Mechon wreckage, while Noah stalks the inhospitable Mor Ardain, the far-flung heroes will need to figure out where to even start. But hey, maybe it won't be all bad.
If Where We Don't Belong is an examination of Xenoblade 3 characters in the stories of their home universes, consider Off By One the exact opposite - a fun alternative story where Origin somehow went even more wrong than the original story. Currently a one-shot.

Summary
When the worlds of Keves and Agnus began to split apart once more upon Z’s defeat, they each intended to return to their prior states. But after a sudden freeze in each, a lingering voice is forced to restore a backup of the worlds… so far back that the man who created them yet lived.
Though all should return to normal if the events of each play out identically, the backup is found to be corrupted. The voice finds no major world-threatening issues and proceeds anyway, but perhaps that was a poor choice of words.
As Noah wakes up in Colony 9, with the Sword of the End by his bedside, and Mio wakes up in Torigoth, only a few changes have occurred to the two worlds in the grand scheme of things. But though relatively few in number to the thousands of lives in each world, each life that persisted from the endless now was anything but unimportant.
After all, two very important journeys were about to begin.
*A for-fun post-ending rerun of the plots of Xenoblade 1 and 2 with Xenoblade 3's characters present, and new plot connections along the way.*

Summary
When Tora was building Origin he was just as afraid of failure as everyone else. So he built another function into the machine. If the worst were to happen anyone in contact with Origin would be sent to the past. Resetting Origin was not supposed to activate this feature, and yet Noah and the others found themselves in the past, not that they’re aware that it’s the past at all.
Scattered across the world, and unknowingly wreaking havoc on the timeline. That would be bad enough, but what’s with all this fog?
Inspired by ‘Where we don’t belong’ by Dewitlater. If you like what you see here. I HIGHLY suggest checking that fic out as well.

Summary
“I’m sorry, love,” Eunie sighed, her gaze falling to the floor littered with broken feathers. “He wasn’t very talking with me in these days”. She paused for a moment and then added “I think he needs a break, to process everythin’ happened in the past month. It was a lot also for him, y’ know”.
“That’s why I’m worried,” Mio confessed, her hands instinctively moving to her chest. “I know he feels like he has to bear everything on his own, and he probably feels…”
“Guilty,” Eunie finished for her. Mio nodded in agreement before leaving the room, adding, “I just hope he’s not in trouble.”
Once the door closed, Eunie realized she was tense. Her muscles were rigid, and adrenaline coursed through her veins. She was worried about her partner, and she was angry at him for disappearing without a word. “Where the sparks are ‘u, muppet?” she muttered under her breath, pacing nervously around her room, cursing him every step she was taking. -

Summary
Isurd remembers what it felt like to have those shards of that crystal embedded into his forehead. What it felt like to cry for what felt like hours just because the ache of his sore throat was almost enough to distract him from the throbbing pain of the Core Crystal.
This child remembers that pain, too.Series

Summary
Eunie finds her mother.
Some people wondered before the game came out if Eunie was Melia's daughter. There isn't even the slightest implication in the game that this might be true... but I'm going with it anyway, because it's more fun like this. I had a surprising amount of fun finding ways to justify Eunie being Eunie despite being Melia's daughter.
Everyone is related, and all those obscure theories about characters being related are true (except for the Dirk one, because other people are already doing that one better).
NOTE: This work has split into a series.

Summary
“Hey, Sena! Oh, and Taion, you’re here too. I’m sorry, I just needed a moment to myself. Aunt Mythra’s chatter was a bit too much!” She tried to inject some humor into her voice, but she knew that deceiving her closest friends was an impossible task. Sena’s eyes were also glistening with unshed tears. Without uttering a word, she rushed over and enveloped Mio in a comforting embrace.
“Mio, there’s no need to put on a facade for us,” Taion sighed, adjusting his glasses - a habit he had inherited from Aionios. He joined them, standing silently by their side, his gaze fixed on Bionis. Despite his stoic demeanor, Mio could see the sadness reflected in his eyes. His hands, clenched into fists, trembled slightly.
“Taion’s right, Mimi,” Sena whispered, her arms still wrapped around Mimi. “If you need to cry, just let it out. We’re here for you.”
“Thank you, guys…” Mio’s voice broke into a sob, and she finally allowed herself to release the pent-up emotions, finding solace in Sena’s comforting hold, as she always did. -

Summary
There's an idea floating around on the Internet that's somewhat bizarre; it's a little theory about Blackblaze Dirk being the son of Rex and Mythra.
This is one author's attempt at making the idea somewhat feasible.
[Chapter 26 update: Dirk ponders the nature of the world with KOS-MOS, Astelle, Crys, and Miyabi; there's also a sense of understanding achieved with one Shania Reid.]

Summary
There are some questions which didn't get answered in the game. Such as: "What was everyone else up to whilst Ouroboros spent that long month in Agnus Castle?" Or, "What inspired Taion to call his Blade 'Mondo'?" Or, "How exactly did Ethel and Cammuravi's rivalry begin?" Or, "What happened the first time Taion and Eunie's Interlink cancelled out whilst they were in midair?" Or, "Why did Moebius allow the Nopon Archsage to set up shop in Aionios?" ("Meh! 'Allow', he says.")
This is one author's attempt at providing some answers to these questions, and many more you might never have thought to ask. (Like, "What if Nia had a fondness for mimicking the Zekenator when she thought no one was watching?")
(A series of [narratively] canon-compliant drabbles, ficlets, and short stories set in the universe of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.) [Spoilers abound for those who haven't played the game. Which you should.]
[Chapter 49 update: In which we look at the work of the Survey Branch during a time where the future was redeemed...but from their perspective, it just added to their workload.]
