Seeing "The Other Half" made me think about a scenario where Orsinio finds a library book that records an alternate nemesis timeline in which he was killed and his brother Horatio went on the revenge quest.

They meet at opposite ends of an aisle and stare... it can't be... the other is supposed to be dead. They approach each other slowly, cautiously, sharing the same guarded nature and defenses against magic tricks. They ask questions only the other would know the answer to, and then in disbelief they embrace.

I haven't yet thought about what would happen from here on a character level, but I've been mulling over the greater implications.

An apocrypha is excised from history and placed into the library because it was considered too catastrophic to exist, and we've seen apocrypha that are both pro-law and anti-law. It's all part of a greater game.

The nemesis AU is disallowed not because Horatio lived. It's because Orsinio did not. After completing Nemesis, Horatio would be satisfied and done. He'd have "The World" destiny, live out the rest of his days on the surface, and be buried with his family. After Nemesis, Orsinio is not finished. He pushes boundaries and studies the forbidden. His destiny is "Justice." He's playing on a celestial scale and making big waves. His revenge quest never really ended, it just moved onto bigger targets. Real cosmic horror moments.

Since Codename: Sugarplum, he's had a nagging anxiety that his coming to the Neath was orchestrated by a greater power than Cups. At the end of the ES, he learns of someone being sent west to the hurlers with the instruction to report back to the old man. What if Orsinio was sent on this path of grief and guilt because a cosmic manipulator wanted him to not learn about the discordance?

If Orsinio ever encountered this AU of nemesis, it would be very troubling to him indeed. To not only learn that his brother, who was his whole world, wasn't considered important by the world, but to learn that Orsinio is, far more than he can or wants to know.

👉👈 would love to talk more about this
