    "It's not working!" the Wanderer shouted, desperately holding onto the strands of power unleashed by the final ritual of his life.

    "Reality just isn't slamming shut!" Tymythy Twysted yelled back over the pounding of his own heart. "It's like it's waiting for...ohhhh, I got it."

    "What?"

    "You know how we never figured out how I got to be magical? All those people trying to figure out which drug or drugs were responsible? I just figured it out...and reality won't close the *door* until I close that particular *loop*."

    With that, Tym reached back to 1992. "Like, fiat flux!"

    Author's Notes:

    Here, have a drabble. They're good for more than magical girls and necromancers, after all.
    To the extent linear time means anything at all for this scene, it takes place after Coherent Super-Stories #8 and #23.

    I'm not familiar with the original stories, but I admire your dedication
    to filling in the gaps.
