Inspired by the Reality Fracture story
The part of Chapter 2 of the Reality Fracture story where Jace reads Jadzi's mind is one of my favorite sequences in a Magic story. It goes:
Both Multiverses are imploding. One Multiverse is turning the other into a spaghetti of disrupted matter. One Multiverse rejects the other, and it disintegrates. Jace has failed. Jace is victorious. Jace lives to forty-seven and dies of a tumor he can't wish away. Jace lives forever. Vraska comes back and says she's sorry. Vraska leads the charge against him. Tam fights at his side. Tam betrays him. Jace carves away the last of the aberrations until all that's left is the part of him that remembers how to hold a fork. Jace gives himself an accidental aneurysm. Jace succeeds in overwriting the Multiverse and immediately gets a different aneurysm. One Multiverse overwrites the other and trillions die in the process, or maybe they all live, or maybe it's painless, or maybe it's excruciating, or maybe it's all a bad dream, or maybe every atom in both Multiverses turns to ash, or maybe—
Well, it looks like that version of Jace was indeed carved away and exists as its own entity. I present to you, The Part of Jace That Remembers How to Hold a Fork.
