Yes hi. The Rena fic does share a lot of similar events but it also adjusts things here and there. One big change is she gets close enough with Emma early on that Emma spills some of the beans on the Awakener stuff way before the CS1 endgame. Rena is characterized well, very much still recognizably similar to Rean but not a 1:1 copy.
The Elise fic though changes more overall though. Rean never got adopted in that fic and Elise transferred to Thors from St. Astraia for different reasons. It starts off mildly similar but has some notable divergences, which start to add up quite a bit. Elise goes to Bryonia with Machias, Fie, and Laura while Elliot goes to Nord with the others (Elliot getting closer to Alisa as a result), Alfin shows up at Thors instead (causing an incident that results in Millium joining early), Elise goes to the other side of Heimdallr with a different group (they meet Cedric and Kurt early, among other things), and a whole lot more. Has a lot of really funny moments too.
I like both quite a lot.
