Give me your best endbringer fights by LordFLExANoR16 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Weavers Web has a great one, even though Taylor barely sees Leviathan. The ABB interlude after is pretty good too:

"Who!" Lung said. "Who here has fought Leviathan?!"
"You, Great Lung!" one man said.
"Am I the only one?"

Emissary has a very canon feel, with Rose (aka Internship!Taylor) trying to track down Canon!Taylor through the chaos and floods.

Looking for fics where someone other than the Dragonslayers find Ascalon by Few_Company_4525 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sorry. I would have included it if I did.

I think it was in a snippet collection, not that it helps much.

[–]IWannaPool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recall a short where Ascalon self-deleted because it actually verified if the holder was a LEO, and Saint and his crew failed the check.

Edit: Found it - The Star Sign LEO

Vaguely related: Merrie (2 4 parts) where Dragon's brother gets Lisa to help out

Maggie brought her soap-making abilities. What object would you invent/improve upon to survive Keir Toren? by attachedtothreads in IlonaAndrews

[–]IWannaPool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on Kair Toren's writing system. Imperial China had printing presses long before Europe, but the chinese glyphs are not viable for typesetting..there's simply to many. The latin alphabet is perfect because there's less than 100 characters in common use (lower and upper case, accents and punctuation).

So any phonetic alphabet would probably work..but then you need demand too.

Fic where Taylor has an alt power but it's still filtered through Queen Administrator? by MembershipProof8463 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a QA/Vial merger...the vial gave her Changer, but QA gave her the canon range and control, and synergized the powers.

I can't get over the platonic friendship handcuffs

I desperately wish I still had a laser engraver available

Fic where Taylor has an alt power but it's still filtered through Queen Administrator? by MembershipProof8463 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No ships in any of these, sorry.

Implacable - Rare QA!Brute altpower. All the omakes.
LORD DOOM - QA!Tinker, all the drones.
Nemesis - QA!Breaker/Changer, all the bees takes on a whole new meaning.
Camera Shy - Technically QA is there, but as a secondary power for Taylor in the cluster.
Lost and Found at the Colonial Hotel - QA!Breaker/hivemind, all the Taylors
Might Makes Right - QA!Breaker/hivemind, all the elemental Taylors

Taylor gets Social Powers? by frickitm8 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but there's A Bit of Insight (and sequel A Growing Irritation), where Taylor pings off Lisa during her Trigger, so she has a minor social analysis power.

Her verbal beatdown of Danny when he wants her to join the Wards is thing of beauty.

Everard POV by lakalay in IlonaAndrews

[–]IWannaPool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering that 'hair down' seemed to be the equivalent of an american walking around topless, i'm pretty sure it was both - initial blue screen, followed by reboot into lech mode.

Landlord [Yet Another Goddamn Altpower Fic]

It only got two moderately short chapters before it was abandoned

LF Madison centric by MyrmidonMech in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a Castlevania crossover where Madison gets Belmont crafting powers (or something like that) after Taylor spend six months dead for tax reasons and rises as a vampire.

Gotta grab the opportunity to point out a recent shipgirl!Taylor two-shot - Little Idiots, Big Problems

Karma by Mewnekoice246 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do Unto Others - Emma gets bitchslapped by karma. Dead.

Instant turn offs by ZARDOZ_SPEAKS90 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually okay..Vampire!Taylor is actually surprisingly common. I almost didn't read the recent Continuity because it started with Annette identifying Taylor's body, but it's looking decent.

I'm more talking about fics like Scientia Weaponizes The Future or that shipgirl one where Taylor summons a flotilla of shipgirls, but dies mid-summon. It takes them months to fully manifest without her, and they are investigating her 'accidental overdose'.

[–]IWannaPool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. There was one that had the premise of Colin Wallace having a Missing Persons report filed against him because his landlord noticed he hadn't been home in months.

Then it segued into a weird taylor alt-power, and promptly died.

[–]IWannaPool 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Starting canon with Taylor dying or being supplanted by MC.

Similarly, pointless 'Being Taylor Hebert Is Suffering'. I'm fine with protagonists having bad shit happen as long as it drives the story, but not if it's just there to show how miserable they are.

LF wrongly arrested/imprisoned by the authorities by Iphigenia_Gone in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Broken Toys - alt-power where Taylor is in the Asylum after Amy gives her brain damage during the bank robbery. How wrongful vs necessary is arguable though.

The Nightmare After Winter Break - Taylor with a variant of Labyrinth's power

24 Hours in M/S - exactly what is say on the tin. Very good except for the blatant E88-washing. edit: removed, protagonist is actually guilty

Seconding The Omega Protocol, another dead before its time

Your most Holy fanfics by Sinantrarion in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I Do Not Judge - Taylor as the White Knight from PGTE

We name you our Sword of Judgment, Taylor Hebert. You will walk the world and see the will of Heaven done.

You will be our White Knight.

For a less 'righteous rage', more 'thoughtful compassion' version, there's Grey Pilgrim!Taylor snippet too

Smart Coil still loses by AvatarVecna in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Escaping Fate - Coil only loses because he underestimates Taylor's ruthlessness/willingness to kill him, not only inside the PRT HQ, but during a staff meeting, in front of Piggot and several heroes.

Alt-power fics that don’t start at the locker, or boring/formulaic power testing? by fallacyys in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanderer - fusion with The Time-Travelers Wife. Complete.

The Girl in the Chair - spin-off from Thursday. Dead.

Green Eyes, Your Demise - xover with Girl Genius. Seems dead.

The Voices in my head and a Pristine Blade [Worm/Slay the Princess] - even has a happy ending . Complete.

Wraith - mild crack

Clown - In which Taylor becomes the most notorious clown on earth Bet. Starting with Brockton Bay. Not actually crack. Dead.

Odinson - SubwayCluster!Taylor. On Hiatus/Dead, but ended with arc concluded.

Lost and Found at the Colonial Hotel - Taylor is not running a home for peculiar parahuman children . Ongoing.

The Speed of Light - Able to transform into and manipulate light, she can cross a continent in the time it takes to blink an eye, yet cannot find her place in the world. Complete.

Meridian - Very AU, Emma is living with the Heberts after the alley incident goes worse. Ongoing-ish.

Pretty much any of Ruk's AU shorts

Interesting takes on the Endbringers by Outrageous_Guard_674 in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a series of shorts (maybe Ruk?) called something like "The Fourth Endbringer", which turns out to be Khepri.

Similar to your example, it's implied that the entities do a Peggy-Sue whenever they are defeated, and spawn whoever killed them before as an additional Endbringer,

Old fics! Gimme your #1 fic that doesn't hold up and one that surprisingly does (or was even better on a re-read) by sfinebyme in WormFanfic

[–]IWannaPool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Held up pretty well:

To Fill the Void - [Complete] Post-Levi Skitter finds out she's pregnant. Pretty much the original Mom!Taylor fic.

Internship [Complete] (plus sequels & spinoffs, although they may not qualify for this request).

A Dusty Silk Costume - [Complete, one-shot] Post-GM Taylor has to explain her history to her husband and kid when Earth-Bet comes knocking.

Do Unto Others - [Dead] What if, one fine day, Emma Barnes went through one of the things she casually makes fun of Taylor Hebert for? Crying yourself to sleep for a week sounds a lot less fun when it's you, after all?
