The Unravel
The Unravel was the widely-accepted name for a catastrophe which impacted many universes, with aftershocks particularly damaging the Third Universe. The Unravel caused the lives of different individuals to be unwritten as well as revising the meta-history of the universe.

History
Jenny Everywhere, aware of the fiasco that was the Unravel, shifted into the Third Universe to help mitigate the damage, despite her trepidations given the universe's reputation among multiversal hitchhikers.
She possessed the body of Achron Everywhere, her Third Universe counterpart, and travelled to a snowy planet and met a pair of stranded Pinguis — Bibendum and Puff Tremayne — whose lives had been unwritten by the Unravel. Upon their introductions, Jenny had sensed in her bones that even their names were meta-historical revisions. After gifting the duo a device that enabled them to leave the planet, Jenny herself shifted out of the universe, reflecting on her suspicion that even her native counterpart had been altered by the Unravel.

Legacy
While in the Plume Coteries' Library, Maritsa, a "great student" of Applied Theology, recalled the Unravel when she and Callum encountered someone who they thought might potentially be the Monochrome Auteur.
She recalled the knowledge on how the Unravel, the "old gods" and the enemies of the Sun Builders, and contrastingly the Sun Builders themselves, weren’t part of a universal binary of chaos and order, but rather they didn't fit into a coherent binary at all; just like how Auteur had no true sense of code or rules, other than the "rules of narrative" which became more binding to him the more he drew upon them.

In most places affected by the Noodle Incident, the fabric of reality had already been knitted and unpicked many times ― and if the rumours were true, it had been "unravelled" too. (PROSE: Taste the Noodles of Dracula)
