James Shirakawa is a 'cape', a human with paranormal abilities trying to live out his life while balancing the demands of his society, of his family, and his conscience. He also really hates his power—ONESHOT

Set in the world of WORM, a web serial owned and created by Wildbow. The Parahuman community of a Texas city is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of a ruthless vigilante, and old secrets coming to light. Utilizes original characters, trying to avoid conflict with existing and future canon. Lots of violence, superhero fights, and swearing. Rated M to be safe.

In his years as a cape, Looking Glass has made friends and enemies; people that have helped him and hindered him. But after all this time, he's about to learn that some of the worst threats aren't to be found from external forces, but from those closest to him—follows "Looking Glass"—COMPLETE

You are a female superhero wearing a darkly colored bodysuit, and you have some experience with ambush tactics and psyching out gang members and petty thieves. You are a Shaker 4, Thinker 2- and your primary ability is that anything your shadow touches is coated in a thin layer of cool-to-hot ash, which you can roughly control to a range of 50 feet. You also have an enhanced ability to recognize and predict patterns, and your primary weapon is a baseball bat.

Fanfic based on "Worm" by Wildbow. A middle-aged high voltage lineman becomes a parahuman after nearly dying due to electrocution. He's never paid much attention to parahumans. Not only does he have a lot to learn about himself and his new powers, he has pretty much everything to learn about the cape community.

Trapped in darkness, drowning beneath the sound of skittering things in the walls, Taylor connected with something infinitely greater. As a fyi, the SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity and Questionable Questing forums ("Goblin Queen") has non-canonical omake which are amusing... they've gone meta. Also, Goblin Queen has a TV Tropes entry/page. 17th arc is one... more something. :3

Taylor Hebert wanted to be a hero, but she never really planned out how she was going to get there. If she had been a little more proactive before putting on a costume things would have gone differently, that's for sure. Better? Well, that's a different question.

An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons.

Readers should be cautioned that Worm is fairly dark as fiction goes, and it gets far darker as the story progresses. Morality isn’t black and white, Taylor and her acquaintances aren’t invincible, the heroes aren’t winning the war between right and wrong, and superpowers haven’t necessarily affected society for the better. Just the opposite on every count, really. Even on a more fundamental level, Taylor’s day to day life is unhappy, with her clinging to the end of her rope from the story’s outset. The denizens of the Wormverse (as readers have termed it) don’t pull punches, and I try to avoid doing so myself, as a writer. There’s graphic language, descriptions of violence and sex does happen (albeit offscreen).

“I don’t think you’re a monster,” I said.

She laughed briefly, and it was a dark utterance with no humor in it. “No?”

A damaged Tinker device drags six alternate versions of Taylor Hebert to Skitter's reality and things could only escalate from there.

Who says living in Brockton Bay is suffering? If things went differently, even Taylor Hebert could have a little fun. My entry in the "Taylor triggers with a different power" genre.

What if Danny Hebert met a woman after the attack of the Endbringer? Will Taylor get her identity exposed? Will the two women in the Hebert patriarch life menage to coexsist?

What if the portal lead not to the Cauldron base, but was instead a decoy, meant to avoid unwanted guests? Or how parahumans can adjust to a medieval society...

Tony Stark fell from the sky after defeating Loki's allies at the end of Avengers (the Movie). It's too bad he didn't get back to his Earth, but instead fell into a city named Brockton Bay to collide and change the fate of one girl. But she wants to be hero, not just normal, bullied Taylor Hebert.

[Exalted/Worm] Taylor Hebert failed, in her moment to become something more. But with her failure, she was Chosen. Written with assistance from GLH.

what if the events at Arcadia were just a little different?

There was fire in my blood. Scales beneath my skin. I could feel them both, trying to burst free-but I had to hold on. I tried not to give in, no matter how badly I wanted to hurt them. But everything has it's limits and this was the end of mine. What if Taylor had gotten Lung's powers instead of the Administrator Shard?

The smallest act or difference can be all that is needed to change the future. Now Diebuster!Taylor stands to make more than small or simple changes for the future of mankind.

Brockton Bay. A slowly rotting, fog-wreathed city in a decaying world where things lurk in the shadows. And that's what I thought it was even before my powers opened my eyes. I wish I could ignore what I see. I wish I could forget. I wish I could escape. But I can't. The Other Place is always there.

One misplaced investigation sees Shadow Stalker's probation revoked and her teammates turning against her. With nowhere to turn but the help of a supervillain that she's repeatedly tried to kill, she makes the only choice she can.

Once there was a maiden- "survival is fury" she said; Learn well Taylor Hebert, for the end approaches and you have been chosen to stand [Exalted/Worm]

Coil is a bit more curious about Dinah's power and how far he can push. Unfortunately for him, a pretty confused Lunar-exaltion is looking for a suitable 'host' on Earth Bet right now. That alone might not be so bad, all in all. But Coil won't have to deal with just a newly exalted Lunar. Some bonds are stronger than distance. Or time, space and different worlds for that matter.

Taylor Hebert's shard is the administrator. Let's see what happens if it looked at administration differently...

Taylor paid a bit more attention to her bullies, noticed a few key details, and then reached out for help in an unlikely direction. The reward for her troubles? After the Locker Incident she was Chosen by the Unconquered Sun and welcomed into the Brockton Bay Wards. Excellence 2.3 up as of 10-1-2014

Once there was a girl... she triggered. But sometimes, things can change... let's see how Taylor's world handles various might have beens. Please be aware of spoilers in various snips.

Naruto Inspired non-crossover. Exploring a different Powerset and trigger event for Taylor, and her slow descent into madness. Powerset is inspired and patterned after the Sharingan Eyes, primarily focused on their ability to cast illusions and alter peoples perceptions. But she can copy and remember super powers she can see, such as transformations or attacks but only is able to use One at any given moment.

In some worlds, Taylor is a hero. In others, a villain. And sometimes, however rarely, she walks the lines betwixt and between.

Four heroes from a destroyed world managed to flee across dimensions. They land lost and confused in Brockton Bay. Damn last Tuesday of the month...

Happenstance, chance or just luck... Taylor Hebert takes a different route home one winter afternoon from school and limps into the sights of Amy Dallon. Healing a sprained ankle wouldn't make a bit of difference, right?

Upon discovery that the bully who had been tormenting her is the hero Shadow Stalker Taylor became disillusioned of the world of Capes before actually entering it. Willing to give one last chance to humanity and the system she goes to the heart of the PRT with a single plea.

non-crossover, offshoot of Dream a little Dream by Noxturne90

Non-crossover; Taylor's bullying takes a different turn and she gains a very different power, the consequences of which change her world.

Where a girl finds true friends when she looks within. And where friends see what lies beneath the surface.

For Taylor Hebert, death was just the beginning. Reincarnated into an alternate earth version of herself she awakens to find herself trapped in a very familiar locker. Now armed with knowledge of her previous life and the ability to not just control bugs but also manipulate their biology, Taylor sets off to do what she always wanted to: be a superhero. Spoilers abound; sorry.

In every life, there is a choice. In every choice, a contradiction. One to flourish, the other to wither. Every man must choose their own way. Good men carefully seek the best path. Great men forge the only path.

Taylor!centric AU melding of Worm/War40k. Eden has a reason to fall to Earth, other than being an intergalactic klutz. Turns out the entities aren't the only things from space worth fearing. Epic-level story, rated M for language and violence.

Yes, gentlemen, another Worm Crossover featuring Taylor with a new set set of superpowers. This time, it's Worm crossed with the runny/gunny wahey that is Warframe. All characters and objects belong to their respective owners. All rights reserved. The premise? What if our favorite bullied teen found herself with a Banshee class Warframe?

On a dark world on the brink of catastrophe, one young girl appearing in the middle of a Parahuman flashpoint might make a difference. It would be hard to make it worse. WARNING: This is rated appropriately. Reader discretion is recommended after Chapter 8.

What happens when the world of 'Worm' gets a hero of an older type...one who is more like Heracles and Achilles rather than the modern heroes filling the PRT roster...

Taylor Hebert never got to trigger in a locker, because the summer before her Junior year at high school, she found a pocket watch that her mother had left behind after she died.

A short snip about Charlotte after her conscription. outsider POV.

Everything has to end somewhere. Annette Hebert's life is no exception. One-shot.

After the end, Lisa returns to the beginning. Non-crossover.

The road not taken. Two years into a different apocalypse, with different prices paid along the way. Funnily enough, this story was actually written months and months ago, roughly around the release of Arc 20. Not entirely certain of the ratings system, leaving at T for a little profanity.

the idea is to out Taylor as connected to Undersiders sooner and less directly... Rated M for language and adult situations

The Illusive Man sent Shepard to collect an additional recruit, giving him a strange set of instructions. It only got stranger from there. Or Parahumans in Space!
