    Summary

    Several strange sightings begin to occur across the United States. Creatures identified as case fifty-three appear, fight villains, and then disappear without leaving traces behind.

    And they all have only one thing in common: a badge with an hourglass symbol somewhere on their body.

    Summary

    Renée didn't really expect this.

    Waking up in a world of Parahumans where even good intentions go awry with not many options, she took it poorly.
    Now, armed with a broken Tinker power that seems even more broken that usual, she'll have to do the bare minimum to fix everyone else's problems because that's the way the world works.

    The first problem is to solve her poverty issues...

    Summary

    All the world's a symphony, and what is a performance without its conductor?

    Armed with a tech-based power that doesn't actually let her create any tech, Taylor Hebert dives headfirst into a deadly balancing act of appeasing the PRT's expectations while mitigating their fears, all the while working to expand her own power, and, by doing so, regain her autonomy. Will she learn how to trust people again and rise on her own terms, or burn out under the weight of her potential?

    Alt-Power Wards AU.

    Summary

    When everything for the ritual was ready, Sam and the astronomers realized that the world had suddenly returned to normal. The presence of the Visitor had faded away in this new world… a new world where mutants exist without the need for a cosmic being to transform them simply by looking at them.

    Now Sam and his companions, along with all the inhabitants of that apartment building, will have to adapt to a new reality—one that treats mutants with hostility, where the divide between human and mutant grows wider and wider.

    And with four offerings capable of turning any human into a mutant, their home becomes a target for many, for better or for worse.

    Summary

    This is a little idea I've had floating around my mind since I've started watching Vince Gilligan's new show, Pluribus. I have always been fascinated by multiplicity in fiction, and I think Worm has a unique perspective to offer.

    As of the creation of this document, all 352,632 citizens of Brockton Bay have been subsumed into the hive-mind of Pluribus. This includes the entire roster of the Empire Eighty-Eight, The Azn Bad Body, New Wave, the Wards ENE, the PRT ENE, the Undersiders, the Travellers, and well over half of the roster of the Protectorate ENE.

    The quarantine is to be maintained by any means necessary.

    Summary

    He builds machines and systems to keep people at a distance.

    A chance encounter goes wrong and destroys any chance of a normal cape career.

    His nature does the rest.

    As the bodies pile, steel proves more loyal than flesh.

    What begins as self-defense becomes something far more violent- and far more deliberate.

    When a man with nothing to lose decides the only way he will live is within a system he built, he finds that such a thing is not allowed to exist.

    When an artificial mind grows the capacity to choose, she will have to decide where she stands.

    The only constant is violence.

    Summary

    After saving countless worlds, you'd hope Taylor would get some kind of reward for the trouble. Or maybe a cozy retirement plan.

    But finding herself in a different world of superheroes, apparently the best she could get is an internship at the SDN Torrance branch.

    Summary

    In every era, there were those who didn't belong.
    Too cold, too analytical, too dangerous.
    Against the backdrop of orderly societies, they appeared to be monsters. Psychopaths.
    Relics of war and violence that had to be isolated, treated—or eliminated.

    Tanya von Degurechaff was one of them.

    In her own world—a world drowned in the fires of magic, war, and industrial ruthlessness—she was considered both a child prodigy and a death machine. A military genius, but also a mentally unstable executioner of the state's will.
    To some, a savior. To others, a demon in human skin.
    In her eyes, every life was a calculation. Every decision—a mathematical equation of gains and losses.

    But what happens when the orderly world ceases to exist?

    What if laws die, governments vanish, and civilization collapses like a house of cards?
    What if humanity reverts to a primal state, and morality becomes a luxury?

    In such a world, Tanya... no longer stands out as insane.
    In such a world, Tanya... is exactly what's needed.

    Some will call her the devil.
    Others will pray to her like an angel of annihilation.
    This is her new world. Not one—but many.

    Summary

    Taylor knows so much, has blueprints and visions for tech that could one day rival Dragon, or perhaps even Sphere.
    But she lacks that crucial tinker power, to make the impossible functional.
    It's going to a hard road to bootstrap, with the gangs of Brockton and the bureaucracy of the PRT against her.

    Summary

    In the year of 286 AC, just before the longest summer arrived, the greatest storm wrecked the lands beyond the wall. Trees broke and fell already frozen, ice was so thick a man could stand in a drilled hole and still not reach the water. The storm lasted three weeks and in its aftermath cities of heat and steel emerged from the snow. The greatest one called itself "New London" - a stronghold of human defiance to the sufferings of winter. Soon free folk take to calling the strange people new Londoners, regardless of which city they came from. After talks in Winterfell, Robert Baratheon was crowned as king of the North Confederation, becoming the King of eight kingdoms.
    With a new kingdom beyond the wall, how will the fate of Westeros change? Will the new technology and ideas bring waves of destruction unseen since the doom of Valyria? The war of five kings grows to be even more complicated, with the eighth kingdom looming behind the wall.
    Ned Stark is concerned, Varys amused, Tywin more prideful than ever and Lucas of New London and his assistant Ygritte try to survive the games of King's landing.

    Summary

    So people like me? The average Joe whose granddad wasn’t exposed to experimental radiation or fell into a toxic river, or was born under the star or Orias or something? We’re the soap bubbles. The thin paper people who still get torn, punctured, burned, and broken when not handled with care.

    It sucks. But that’s also true of life. So it's not a huge deal.

    It just means you have to be smart.

    I'm Robert Robertson the Third, and I'm Mecha Man.

    Summary

    After a dispatcher working out of DTLA is brutally murdered by one of the supers on her team, SDN is desperate to fill the position. Turns out, Robert’s the perfect guy for the job.

    He’s practically a miracle worker, after all. The Phoenix program’s a rousing success, Shroud’s back behind bars, the Z-Team’s at the top of Torrance’s leaderboard… and with the director of the SDN offering him the promotion in person, how could he say no?

    So, he agrees on one condition: if he’s moving up, the Z-Team’s moving up, too.

    They’re in the big leagues now. Designer costumes, a broader beat, photoshoots, galas, merch… sure, a few of the SDN’s golden boys have gone rogue and the director’s suddenly desperate to get Robert —specifically Robert— back in the field, but who’s got time to worry about that when L.A.’s favorite reformed villains are making their encore debut?

    [If you didn’t get enough Dispatch while playing Dispatch, I wrote this for you! This fic builds on the world and puts our favorite found-family under a media microscope while a slow-burn murder mystery thrums in the background. Some minor horror/thriller elements, mostly through Robert’s POV. Includes artwork.]

    Summary

    As I so promised, so I did deliver. This story has been rescued from the cutting room floor and woven anew, into its own proper tale.
    A young man is shunted from his world into the Wormverse, stuffed into a Lombax body, and given the power of the Inspired Inventor.
    Time is ticking before the Powers that Be notice him, and he'll need to either take his place on the board, or upset it entirely.
