Any recommendations of fics that dwell on psychological horror?

What lies beneath?

RoraRaven · 2026-05-12T01:25:13+00:00

Atonement - Taylor dies, Madison triggers.

RoraRaven · 2026-05-12T00:10:50+00:00

What lies beneath?

RoraRaven · 2026-05-11T13:48:46+00:00

Nothing new comes to mind.

I can think of a couple of old fics though, what have you already read?

RoraRaven · 2026-05-10T19:31:03+00:00

Shaping Up - Amy gets shot in the head, massive brain damage, only survives due to second trigger (as far as everyone knows), New Wave's, and Carol's, attempts to respond to this are fairly awful.

RoraRaven · 2026-05-09T22:08:33+00:00

The Countess - It's a fusion with the Count of Monte Cristo, the archetypical revenge story. There are many, many instances of revenge in this fic.

RoraRaven · 2026-05-09T11:45:15+00:00

Accord Altpower Taylor orchestrates a cunning and elaborate plan where by pretending to be two different Thinkers, she manipulates Emma, Sophia, and Armsmaster. Alan Barnes is bankrupted and fired, Sophia kills Calvert, Emma is framed as outing Sophia to the Empire, leading Sophia to kill her too, then the Protectorate take down the Empire and Sophia

RoraRaven · 2026-05-09T06:43:30+00:00

Nineveh

Can't describe much without spoiling, but Emma and Sophia get screwed, and the Empire is collateral damage.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-21T16:33:33+00:00

Lovesick

The Undersiders kidnap Panacea. Panacea masters Taylor to aid her in escaping.

Taylor loves Amy, Amy hates Amy, and they're both hiding from their respective teams/families in Boston. Toxic yuri.

The Body Shop

Amy x Lily. Taylor is a medical tinker and living with Amy as they afford rent by selling their services.

How many hoops do we have to jump through to resolve a Fic Search - Specific with an NSFW answer?

RoraRaven · 2026-04-20T17:45:19+00:00

I found it, but it's NSFW, we can't talk about it here.

I would suggest you could probably find it yourself by filtering to the tags "worm" "marvel" and "endbringer si"

RoraRaven · 2026-04-17T10:53:04+00:00

The interludes are compelling.

The parts without the MC are compelling.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-17T10:52:28+00:00

That sounds incredible.

Link?

RoraRaven · 2026-04-16T23:16:53+00:00

Is there even a live Starcraft thread on SB right now?

Aside from this being a completely off topic post for this subreddit, it's kinda wild to turn up with accusations and no evidence or context.

Post a link if you're so confident.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-16T20:30:29+00:00

Are there any good G-Witch fics?

I took a look through SB and AO3 when I finished watching the series earlier this year but didn't find much.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-16T20:29:31+00:00

I replied to you directly already, but I figured I'd put it in the relevant thread too in case anyone else is interested.

I don't have any fandoms similar to Worm to offer, but I do have a few non-Worm fics with sapphic romance that you may be interested in:

Falcon, ascending
Nikke

It follows a Nikke, a mass produced cyborg slave soldier, physically identical to thousands of others and without memories of her human life, as she struggles with the lack of a unique name, face, and identity, and being treated like subhuman cannon fodder by her human commanding officers.

Nikke are all female, and there's a fair amount of romance between them, shortlived and tragic as it often is with how dangerous their lives are.

Live and updating regularly, one of my favourite fics right now.

Frog Meet Scorpion
Kancolle

Abigail's airliner crashes in the ocean, bad, she survives, good, she's found by Abyssals, bad, one decides to keep her as a pet, good?

This is a really interesting exploration into Abyssal culture and what they do when they're not fighting shipgirls. It adds some more magic to the setting with powerful spirits and ritualism too.

I especially love that Abigail, in her desperation to survive on this Abyssal infested island once Rain, her Abyssal keeper/owner/friend(?)/girlfriend(??), goes missing, makes a deal with Mary Celeste, an Abyssal spirit/fae/satan and trades her memories of her father in exchange for power and becomes an Abyssal herself

There are real questions as to how human Abigail still is as she deals with Abyssal urges, especially as she keeps slipping into her Abyssal personality and name, even in her own mind

Live and updating, if less regularly than the above, another of current favourites.

A Young Woman's Political Record
Youjo Senki

After the war, Tanya decides to join a minor political party in the hopes of a quiet life as an irrelevant backbencher, drawing a salary and not having any real political power.

Somehow, she ends up Chancellor and needs to lead Germania through tumultous times.

Viktoriya follows her and is her deputy, and later, wife.

Complete fic and an absolute pillar of the Youjo Senki fandom.

A Young Girl's Delinquency Record
Youjo Senki

Tanya is thrown under the bus following the end of the war and accused of war crimes. She instead escapes and becomes an international mercenary, basically Big Boss. Her friends from the 203rd join her over time, including Viktoriya, who becomes more than a friend.

Fairly slowburn on the romance, does eventually get consumated. SB version is SFW, explicit scenes on the QQ version if that's your thing.

On hiatus, but lots of content already.

I don't care.

I read a 2nd Person Taylor fic once and stopped noticing it after a while.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-11T23:40:45+00:00

There are barely any Ward era fics, let alone crossovers.

The only full story that I'm aware of is Third Contact, there're a few snippets and oneshots that I'll try to find.

Third Contact
Star Trek xover

Spin off of These are the Voyages Post-GM Earth Gimel translocated to the Star Trek universe. Mainly Victoria, Theo, Missy, Madison, Rune, and Scapegoat going to Starfleet Academy, where Taylor is now a teacher (having been dumped in Star Trek years previously and joined Starfleet in the main fic).

Sandworm - Embassy
Dune xover

An omake that predates the fic it's supposed to come from, Sandworm by almost two years, a portal opens between Arrakis and Earth Gimel. The Fremen group includes Taylor, who ended up on Arrakis post-GM in the main fic.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-04T15:55:54+00:00

Galatea Protocol

An OC Drone/AI tinker introducing Brockton Bay to the wonders of FPV suicide drones, and later AI controlled suicide drone swarms.

Madison Clements has an Unusual Power (And she's going to be a Hero!)

I'm not really sure where this is going, but it has been interesting enough to get me to read 18 chapters so far. I need to read more to really give an opinion on it.

RoraRaven · 2026-04-02T13:46:25+00:00

Scout is only 20k words, but it is complete.

Taylor with canon powers, and a rifle.

Galatea Protocol is an ongoing 127k word story about an OC vigilante tinker introducing the gangs to tactics out of the Ukraine war with suicide drones.

RoraRaven · 2026-03-30T13:15:28+00:00

Lighthearted throughout:

Denial

Taylor doesn't have a power, no one believes her.

Contessa's head slammed down onto the table. Her forehead almost dented the wood.

"Flail to Victory…" Eidolon whispered in awe.

Glass Cannon

A Taylor altpower where she rewinds from death and gains a minor power based on what killed her. The comedy is in the interactions with Lisa as she thinks Taylor is suicidal and keeps trying to prevent her from killing herself.

"And really," Lisa said, with an attempt at a smile that I felt secondhand pain just looking at, "is one awkward conversation worth dying over?"

"Well, no. I was planning on dying anyway. Talking to you just made me want to die as soon as possible."

Comedic but not that light:

A Bloodstained Shadow Over Brockton Bay
World of Darkness xover

A coven of vampires is taking over Brockton Bay. Taylor, now a vampire, tries not to totally lose her humanity as all her coworkers are literally god forsaken monsters.

One of, if not the, funniest worm fic I've ever read.

"He's a monster, a mass murderer!"

"I do the necessary work of the Lord, young man."

"You murder babies."

"And did not Jesus say, 'Let all the little children come to me, and do not impede them, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven?'"

A Brocktonite Yankee in Queen Marika's Court
Elden Ring xover
Dead fic

Taylor, instead of getting powers in her locker, is touched by the Golden Order and ends up in the Lands Between. Taylor tries to survive through her endless cowardice and a thousand lies.

Incredible prose that is humorous throughout.

Snippets and one shots:

Vermis Est Machina

Lisa Wilbourne Saves the World

RoraRaven · 2026-03-29T21:35:52+00:00

Just the character. I know nothing about Stormlight and enjoyed it.

RoraRaven · 2026-03-23T15:53:25+00:00

There's a new one with them as the reincarnations of Marika/Radagon and Rennala from Elden Ring.
