An alchemy arc is the narrative chapter — in a character's story, a person's real life, or a creative project — where everything that was broken, mismatched, or raw starts getting fused into something new and powerful. The term comes from fandom and storytelling spaces but spreads into self-improvement culture to describe a personal transformation period where the struggle is clearly feeding something bigger. If you're deep in the mess but you can feel things shifting, you're probably in your alchemy arc.
Lost the job, ended the relationship, and moved to a new city in the same month — this is definitely an alchemy arc.
