Thanks to astridv without her help, this small fic would have been much more
unclear.

Flux existences:
He
began as an idea between existence and non-existence. He always had
been and had never been. These things are not always
clear.
I
Oedipus variations:
His
creator/lover/tormentor gave him trueness. And (s)he loved her, but
eternity is a very long time.
I
Looping the
eternal:
When he destroyed her - no this is wrong. A god is
eternal and who would dare to destroy the eternal? No rather, one
could say that he became she and (s)he became her. No broken infinity
here.
I
We all have them:
Sometimes she had feelings
which, in a lower being, could be qualified as regret. It was a
question of matter over being, she thought.
I
Focused
being:
She conducted her campaign of supremacy over countless
millennia. And its execution was a study in brutality and destruction
on a scale so large there's no human word for it. And when it was
over, did she not rightfully feel triumph, or was it something
else?
I
Dream logic:
Sometimes she doesn't dream
about a man who was and will not be her, and she is she.
I
Breaking
ennui:
She became so very bored of crushing the countless
insurrections, and such inept insurrections they were. Perhaps that
is why that she never saw the signs, when her inner circle betrayed
her in such a wicked clever way. Offer lamb indeed.
I
Living
man walking:
He never really had an existence. He was a holding
cell, a walking death row with silk underwear
I
O,
sister sister:
He had done questionable things, but when he looked
at Dawn, he saw with terrible clarity his naked need for
being.
I
The visible hand:
When the hand slowly
suffocated him, he shouted to himself and at a universe that never
answered, 'I am I am I am I'
