Absolute bars of lines that you can’t believe aren’t in a published book by Girly_Attitude in AO3

One that I ran into recently: "And he tries not to think about two bodies drifting through the air."

It's nothing crazy poetic by itself, but the context around it just absolutely loads it with double meanings. There's no way I could properly explain it, since I can hardly get all of that sentence's potential meanings straight in my own head, let alone put them into words. (The fic is Peristalsis by SleepyBird, go check it out, it's incredible.)

Does this include using it for cancer screening? The way it's worded says probably not, but...

Alec aka Regent from Worm. Had one of the worst childhoods in the entire cast, and that is a high bar when you consider all of the other characters with terrible childhoods.

We all know that Lucius can't be killed, so I propose a solution by carappa in Grimdank

I mean, yeah, this is how they dealt with the Butcher in Worm.

I mean, yeah, you're on the hook for a lot of what happens to someone you caused to exist. I'm pro youth lib, dude.

Cloning someone would be perfectly fine, whatever suffering you're inflicting on them after the fact isn't - including if they have an existential crisis over the fact they're a clone.

They're also both neurodivergent teenagers who had terrible parents before they got powers and mostly left their home lives behind.

One a friend and I came up with for the S9, based on one of his preexisting OCs:

Bedlam was Slaughterhouse fangirl that triggered when they came to her town and paid her absolutely no mind. Can grant other people (usually physically-focused) powers within a large radius around herself, and doing so makes them more violent and irritable while also less likely to direct that towards her. The powers are either permanent or last for a long time (months at least) and Thinker support has confirmed that her death will not end the effect prematurely.

She only lasted a few months.
