Changed line(s) 43 (click to see context) from:
* ''Fanfic/{{Paradoxus}}'': Any given timeline is defined by certain key events that cannot be changed without branching the time-space continuity off. Id est, in timeline A, Bloom and Stella are assassinated, while in timeline B, they live for some reason (Eudora spares them, the Burning Legion invasion never happens, etc.). Thing is, B is an alternate version of A. If you somehow manage to prevent A's defining events (an impossible feat in itself), you are going to jump to/create B instead of staying in a modified version of A. When you travel back from when you came, you return to the same future you were trying to change (A's future). To get to B's future, you'll have to go the long way. Unfortunately, chances are you will first fade out from existence and the events there are totally random, meaning you lose any foreknowledge you got from time-traveling. All in all, A will keep existing as a separate timeline because its key events have ontological inertia -- they cannot be undone. In this fic, there are two defining events for the timeline: the aforementioned deaths of Bloom and Stella and the Burning Legion invasion of Magix. Besides those two, things can be changed to varying extents, although it's not an easy task. For example, [[spoiler:Daphne]] has to send back her memories so her past self can start planning how to change non-defining events that cana potentially save Magix from extinction.
