Everywhere Else and At No Particular Point in Time, Monday

The Nothing did not care for vacations-- though it had rolled over a Newfoundland on an Earth, but where and which one it was less easy to determine. It didn't matter, for very little mattered once it touched the Nothing: it simply ceased to be, in all times and all minds, though perhaps not in all worlds ( Read more... )

Trapped.

He hadn't seen the sun in weeks, months... too long, and there was no way of knowing just how long that was. Only that each day seemed to go on for an eternity. Only that old aches never had the time to fade before something new, twisted, wrong was being run through him, torn out of him, and only sometimes was he fortunate enough not to feel it at all.

Sometimes he could forget that all of the screams that he heard in that distant, real place that he didn't want to go to were his own.

Now and again he'd get a glance at his companion, blond-haired and mako-soaked and completely unresponsive, his only friend down here. He'd long given up hope of rescue. It wasn't coming. There was no way out. He'd lost. And Cloud had to pay for that. Because Zack had failed him in that regard too, being unresponsive to whatever sick project was next on Hojo's agenda. S-Cells. JENOVA. Words that were said so many times now that they lost their meaning, and they were still somehow becoming all that meant anything down here ( ... )

With the way Henry existed on the edges of time, he was practically daring the Nothing to reach out and swat him away -- he might be a smart mouse, but he was still a mouse at the mercy of a large, patient cat. It took no effort at all when the Nothing reached out a paw and took him as he staggered nude through the Wisconsin woods in 1972. His last jump through time had been fresh; he barely stopped vomiting and took three steps over the crunch of dead leaves before darkness descended and he was gone. Only a squirrel took any note of the sudden arrival and just-as-sudden departure, and the squirrel was soon gone too ( ... )

When danger threatened, Clark Kent's powers returned to him. It had taken getting used to not having all his powers all the time, but the important thing was that Superman could still be there when needed.

It was believed by many that there was nothing Superman could not do. There those who even revered him as a god.

But on this one, terrible day, everyone learned that not even Superman could fly faster than the speed of nothing.

And only seconds after he'd been retconned erased, everyone forgot he had ever existed.

It was a typical day for Yzma: doing all the work while Kuzco did...something...being forced to eat Kronk's spinach puffs for dinner, it was almost enough to make her miss the days she could terrorize teenagers and get paid for it.

Sigh, Fandom.

She stomped into the entrance to her secret lab, distracted and grumbling to herself, and pulled the wrong lever.

"Why do we even HAVE--"

Her thought, and her life, disappeared as though it had never existed as the Nothing cleaned up her universe.
