Taylor Hebert had never wanted to become a villain. That just happened as she made one desperate choice after another until she got in too deep to get out. This time, her journey as a cape leads her the other way.

A Worm AltPower AU - What if Taylor had triggered with a power similar to Dauntless, but applied to her own body rather than her gear? How would the "Queen of Escalation" handle planning out and growing her powers? What sort of hero might she grow into? On Hiatus

The world of Worm is grim dark - unless your best friend is an anthropomorphic tiger and you view everything as a six-year-old might see it. Crack fic, just so you know.

Our choices define us. Taylor finds an opportunity and seizes it. One-shot. AU. Complete.

How l33t saves the world because Cauldron hasn't been doing its 'job', Contessa hasn't been looking for the right Path, and Skitter knows how to delegate important matters to those best suited to handling them even if it means potentially compromising the Villainous Top Secret World-Saving Conspiracy. And Rachel gets to play with puppies, of course.

Lung has a teenage daughter who's been estranged from him for most of her life. When she triggers unexpectedly he sends for her to come live with him in Brockton Bay. Now she has to reconcile her socially conventional morals and upbringing with being the newest cape of the ABB. When in doubt she will turn to the ancient texts for wisdom, including her favorite: The Art of War

AU. Dorothy and Geoff Schmidt are Rachel's new foster parents.

Every queen needs a king. Taylor Hebert found hers in the most unlikely place. Alec/Taylor.

One-shot prompt fill: Armsmaster was busy in his lab when the call for Lung went out, so Taylor's first Protectorate interaction was with Assault & Battery. (AU, post 1.05)

We have our rules and stick to them. Amy because, like ivy, she needs scaffolding to build herself up. Me? Because they make for more opportunities for fun than chaos does. Although if I was being brutally honest with myself, and it's hard not to be, it's because those rules are the only thing that keep this game between us going. (AU; pre-series divergence.)

AU. Two orphans find themselves belonging to each other.
