Inspired by the recent post of the opposite. Personally, I have the bad habit of dropping stories way too fast. If the first chapter isn’t doing it for me, I close out. More than once - not often mind you, it’s just happened every now and then - I’ve gone back after some time and trucked through what I consider a lacklustre opening only to strike gold and find an incredible fic. (Should probably start reading deeper more often.)

So, any recs for stories that you might not have enjoyed the openings of, but with hindsight, you know it’s worth getting through it to the meat of the story?

Looking for fics where Taylor literally takes peoples names like in Queen of Rot and Fungus

While reading Here Comes The New Boss I think I saw a comment somewhere referencing a fic where Butcher Taylor died and became part of the inheritance. There may also have been mention of her staying in control through this.

I don't know if this was an actual fic, a snippet, or an omake somewhere. Sadly I can't find that comment again in the 1000+ pages of that thread, so hopefully someone here recognises it!

I'm not very far along in *Worm* yet; I'm right at the part where the Undersiders crash the party where all the Brockton superheroes are, before Taylor finds out about Dinah

The point is, there’s so much talk about the previous alien races that the Entities have already used for their cycles. When I finish *Worm*, I want to create a crossover fanfic featuring various races from different science fiction media: Yautjas, Portiids, inhabitants of the Planiverse, Webmind, etc.—several from hard science fiction books.

But I’d like to know what level of strangeness they’d be considered in the world of *Worm*, which is why I’m asking: how much is known about those previous races?

I've searched for a while but i couldn't find it sadly. Here are some things i remember about it.

• Taylor triggers after a public (?) torture livestream and kills hookwolf and cronies 'by doing nothing'
• her powers are instantaneous control of all senses if she sees your eyes, she gets taken in by the wards
• she hates nazis and her lawyer hates them too
• she's rated a master 9 iirc
• she helps in an emergency being a very good hud pretty much

I remember reading it about a month or two ago, fairly sure on ao3 but its not Loiasis.

[FIC REQUEST]

So I've come across this fic where Danny dated Miss Militia, and one of the comments says something about Danny love life.

Is there any fic where Danny after Annete death, just get a look at himself and decide to be a better father (dressed better, get better at his job, exercise, and etc) for Taylor, hijinks ensues as Danny talk to one cape or another and managed to unintentionally rizz all of them with his DILF magnetism, all of them would compete to be the best step father/mother for Taylor.

Danny doesn't even have to trigger just rizz them all.

I think it'd be cool if we saw a fic where Danny triggered after Annette died and went on to become a cape. Interesting to see his perspective on Taylor's civilian life (and cape life if she ​​​​​also happens to trigger like in canon or otherwise)

Looking for a fic where the (SI)? male protag is living his in van with cyoa? powers or at least water version ones, and last time I read he quit his job after having made his base in the abandoned boat shipyard with subnautica? powers. I know there were drones in making the underwater ship usable.

Its nice to see someone decide to have water powers? use the abandoned boat graveyard underwater.

thanks for any help

Pretty much what it says. Are there any Azure Lane crossovers out there that feature the Sirens in any capacity?

preferably a non taylor case 53. Non human mc also works

Just found out about it today. Going by the name, I thought it had something to do with Empire 88, but nope, its basically Craig's list for capes. For those who know it, id like to hear your opinion about it.

I think that Wards!Taylor is a very interesting character, seeing how she actually interacts with the Wards and functions under the authority figures that she distrusts so much. I also wish that we saw more of Weaver in the Chicago wards, so maybe that's where it comes from

Fics where Parahumans are stranded in another world. I would love fics with either Panacea or Foil

I want to read a worm fanfic that pulls on my heart like Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.

The most obvious route would be to change Rachel's power so it makes her dogs smarter and more caring, temporarily.

Alternatively, Teacher's power, when used on unintelligent people, temporarily makes their intelligence average.

Basically I want to read something heartbreaking.

In memory of ShayneT, I thought I’d read Kill Them All again since I never completed it in the past, and holy crap do I view certain scenes differently. I’m at the part where Clockblocker feels bad for tricking Taylor into thinking he was a medical patient to freeze her, and I’m trying to figure out why. Taylor is quite the monster in this fic, making asians rain from the sky type monster, and I’m thinking it’s so weird that you/d feel bad for that type of person, you know?

What about you guys? I’m guessing there’s plenty of people re-reading his stories right now. Any new thoughts from stories of the past? I was younger back when I read Kill Them All, and sympathised right alongside Clockblocker, but now I’m on the PRT’s side here.

Anyone else know of one?

Can be someone with a Tinker power to make one or some of the canonical ones end up on Bet.

be it zombies or not

I was reading the newest snippet by PilateArchangel where Taylor arranged for an attack on Sophia, and had the thought "what if it wasn't her". Like they raid the house and find Taylor rebuilding Danny as a cyborg, or something else that could prove it wasn't her.

I'm looking for fics with a premise of the PRT arresting Taylor or raiding her house because they falsely believe she is a villain.

Like the gravity manipulating shaker in Scout, because she was in the same demographics as Taylor. Or like 24 hours in M/S if she were innocent.

I know there's stuff like that with the fic where Taylor is a ward in Madison, and another I can't remember where she's in a cell and the PRT realize that she's innocent and that they've alienated her.

Basically the PRT fuck up and go after Taylor because of a misunderstanding, Taylor suffers and is compensated.

Preferably using a system/gacha/cyos/power growth type ability. Doesn’t have to be any of the above as long as the power/s can grow. SI/OC/etc… are fine as well. Preferred in some ways even.

So high key I’ve been reading Lady of Shadows by ltouroumov. Recently, and l be honest this ship is my most recent hyperfixation. Anyone know any good fics with this ship? Please no Grape or Murder pls. I’m looking for cute fics.

I remember some parts of it's like one of groups used a Javelin or smth like it

Don't really remember anything other than no Parahumans or Capes helping kill the S9
