Reading the Escape from Planet Earth section of Last Ergs, I think this is not the intended interpretation.

Almost every conceivable eventuality is happening out there on the strand somewhere, on some Earth. Every historical path has been taken, for better or worse.

It's not quite clear what's happening in 'Verse Chorus (where the event that distinguishes Universe Zero from the others occurs), but my impression is that it doesn't just differentiate Zero from the rest, it distinguishes each universe individually--they're all identical prior to that event (which is why the vast majority have inhabited Earths), but not afterwards. I think the idea is that Mitch passes through and interacts with each universe at slightly different times just prior to being imprisoned in Zero, and that difference gets magnified by the butterfly effect, or something like that.

(This is all fresh in my mind from recently reading the Chronological Cut of Fine Structure, which makes a lot of this significantly clearer.)

Another thing I wanna glowfic: City of Angles, not a misspelling, actual angles not angels.

:D city of angles!

Yes! People should read it, it's short and great and so glowficcable, you can just obviate canon and have Lucid never incarnate into Penny so you just have three goddesses to deal with.

You can also put some work into any other character, say that they're asleep, and add another world to their sheaf. But that takes worldbuilding.

Looking at Mortal’s sandbox, I want to see Sparkle and Siobhan to be in a box together planning something.

That'd be pretty cool c:

Also, my brain has decided it no longer objects to glowficcing in Thilanushinyel.

I noticed Materia wasn't in my list. Now it is.

And now so is Skin Deep.
