** Revealed in the MLP Loops to be ''deliberate'' -- since there is only one Yggdrasil system in the multiverse, a full independent system backup is not possible as they have only one server cluster to store the multiverse on. So as a partial solution they use a [=RAID=]-esque data striping technique, deliberately caching information about each Loop in redundant chunks spread out as background data amongst other Loops. Or: Fiction exists about the setting of Loop A as books/movies/etc. available to be read in Loop B because that's how the backup archive of Loop A manifests when its copied over into in Loop B's assigned partition as inactive files.

* MutuallyFictional: Not always the case, but often. The more forward thinking Loopers tend to collect large stashes of fiction from many different loops, so that they are as certain as possible to have an effective "guidebook" to wherever they end up next.

*** However, this setup is followed by chapter 2, where attempts to stabilize the Fire Emblem loops repeatedly fail due to [[SpannerInTheWorks an unknown factor royally screwing everything up]]. The major contributor to the problem, TimeTravel (ironically enough) is universally despised by every observer, who are doing their best to stop the Fire Emblem universe from looping. They are, unfortunately, {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s who will [[IDidWhatIHadToDo do what they think is necessary]] to achieve this goal...which means attempting to railroad and outright ''neuter'' as much of the random factor Robin brings into the equation. This comes to a head when it's discovered that [[spoiler:Morgan]], merely by ''existing'', is the one responsible for the looping, and the higher-ups keep rewriting everything in order to ensure [[spoiler:Morgan]], as we know them, never comes to be, including manipulating Robin's code to the point that [[spoiler:they set up '''''an entirely new baseline''''' where Robin is female and married to Chrom]]. Even the universe's administrators are disgusted by the "solution"[[note]]This is described as "morally repugnant"--in short, ''a MoralEvenHorizon''.[[/note]] Thankfully, thanks to Robin being a '''huge''' {{Determinator}} who firmly believes in ScrewDestiny [[spoiler:and one of the higher-ups acting as a SpannerInTheWorks]], the universe begins to destabilize again, and are finally allowed to loop, thus beginning the Fire Emblem loops proper in Chapter 3.

** The beginning of the Fire Emblem loops is this as well. Robin is the anchor, meaning that everything he remembers, [[EldritchAbomination Grima]] does too. Needless to say, Grima gets creative fast, Chrom and Lucina wake up to truly horrible loops, and Robin is trapped in his own mind for ages, watching his friends get tortured and killed over and over again. This setup ends after one chapter, thankfully.

** Dio Brando's introduction snip in The Grand Battle of Pelennor. It's heavily implied that he fed all the members of Xcution to his zombie minions except Ginjo and Riruka, sexually assaulted her while her now mind-controlled leader and friend watched, began feeding on her blood, before throwing her body to a Zombie-fied Haku and Zabuza for them to devour. Made even worse when you realize that the Zombies now have a slavish devotion to Dio, so Haku and Zabuza can't really stop themselves from doing the horrible act.

Her first loop was "[[CrapsackWorld Slavequestria]]", where she and a non-Awake Shining Armor were HappilyMarried and helping runaways as part of LaResistance. Then the loop reset, and she was horrified to find that all the terrible things she did in canon were ''not'' AllJustADream, as well as heartbroken that the Shining she had loved no longer exists, with the Awake Shining HappilyMarried to Cadence. She's left horribly depressed for many loops afterwards, and even though she's now in a steady relationship with [[spoiler: Awake Trixie]], it's clear she still misses her version of Shining.
