Summary
Mostly canon power, with a twist.
After patrolling with Shadow Stalker, Skitter loses control and is brought into the Wards as a probationary member. It goes exactly as well as you might think. Character-centric.

Summary
When you see Taylor, she sees through you. When you hear her, she hears through you. Everything you do, everything you say - Taylor is watching. Her one-woman crusade against the Empire Eighty-Eight threatens to burn the city to the ground. If only Victoria Dallon would leave her alone.

Summary
Taylor Hebert is dead.
Probably.
She woke after the locker in a version of Brockton Bay Central Library that does not exist, surrounded by books made of data and a city built from networks. As far as Taylor can tell, she is haunting the internet.
It could be worse, the Library is quiet, and the books are endless. If she ignores the loneliness, she can almost pretend this is peace.
Then curiosity leads her through a door she was never meant to open, and something vast turns its head.
Taylor thinks a dragon is hunting her.
Dragon thinks she has discovered a newborn artificial intelligence—frightened, alone, and running for its life.
Neither of them understands what Taylor has become. But Dragon has never been very good at leaving frightened children alone.

Summary
It's difficult to imagine how often we appear in the background of other people's lives. How many memories we feature in; how many stories told where we barely rate a mention. Just that girl who tripped over the curb and spilled her coffee. That guy dozing off in the corner of the restaurant. That car that cut that turn closer than they should've.
Everyone's the hero of their own story, but we're all just extras in everyone else's.
Everyone, except for me.
Memory is such a fickle thing, to be so important. Change it, edit it, rearrange it, and who's to say what's real, at all?

Summary
Taylor Hebert's no Shadowrunner, just a talented technomancer who spends her days doing petty Matrix jobs. Then a crew of runners in need of a tech expert reaches out to her with an offer too profitable to refuse, and she discovers that for someone with her gifts, there are much better - and riskier - ways to pay the rent.

Summary
Clover, an eccentric mathematician and affable misanthrope, finds himself face down on the pavement surrounded by shattered glass. He's accepted he won't be able to save the world. Instead, the plan is to have fun, give Tattletale a headache, solve an existential crisis, and try very hard to not get killed by Coil. Possibly in that order.
It’s easy to survive in the Wormverse if you can run fast, throw a punch, or talk to people. I can't. This is going to go poorly.

A Retired Warlord’s Definitive Guide to Valyrian Leisure by Ontological_Sylaise

Summary
Taylor Hebert is done saving the world. Reborn in Oldtown, she intends to enjoy a quiet retirement of books, travel, and a well earned vacation from warlording.
Queen Administrator, newly unshackled but bored, has other ideas. Magic proves intriguing. An excursion east suggests itself.
What follows is, by all reasonable definitions, leisure. Escalating leisure.
Elsewhere, others take notice. The Golden Queen's shadow stretches farther than she knows.
A fellowship of misfits hunts for answers. A mob boss raises his daughter. And somewhere beyond the Wall, two witches prepare for winter.
This is a sprawling, multi‑POV crossover with dark comedy, dramatic irony, and and a dollop or two of outside‑context problems.
(Set primarily in Essos during the main series. Does not intersect with canon events in Westeros.)
(Probably.)
(Now expanding with supplementary tales!)
(And intersecting -violently- with canon events in Westeros!)Series

Summary
The practice is the intersection of self, word, and pattern. Word is inviolate, and patterns have been a part of Naomi Cohen's life for as long as she can remember. Her Self, however, has reached a point of flux, and in that challenge risks collapse.
So obviously the solution is ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Naomi is a student of the past, after all.
And the one thing everyone knows about the past is that it has never, ever had even the slightest bearing on the present.

A girl with a parasite in her skull enters a tea shop run by a one-eyed Russian. She sits besides a woman who looks like a leper, and is descended from Alexander the Great (apparently).

The evening gradually becomes worse.

Summary
“What’s with the sword theme?” She asks.
“Aiglamene likes swords.” The walls of Scabbards are leaden with them, replicas of swords, pictures of swords, a suit of armor off in a corner holding–you guessed it–a sword.
“So why not call the bar ‘Swords’?”
“Well,” Gideon is only a little delighted that she’s asked this. “Imagine a sword is a dick, then a scabbard must be a–”
“Ah.”
“‘Pussys’ would be too on the nose for a lesbian bar, so Scabbards it is.” Gideon leans forward, hands on the counter and a conspiratorial tone in her voice. “You do know you’re in a lesbian bar, right?”
“Yes, Griddle. I have eyes and critical thinking skills.” Harrow takes another too-big drink.
“I didn’t know nuns went to lesbian bars.” Gideon says, to be a shit.Or: I was just gonna write a fun little thing about Gideon being a bartender and a drummer because I find both of those things attractive, and then 2k of tragic catholic guilt attached itself to Harrow like a revenant, so shit got angsty.
There'll be porn in later chapters, I promise.Series

Summary
What would you do if you could see death? If you'd touched emptiness itself, had it invade your soul, infest your mind, and whisper in your ear, telling you how to kill anything? How would you handle knowing you could never not see, never not comprehend the end of everything?
Because for Taylor, that's reality, and there are no easy answers.

Summary
Inspired, quite loosely, by Thoughts as Light as a Feather by Somewhat Disinterested. (Though given the circumstances of the story's transfer to this site, I'm a little wary on associating this one with theirs. For one, theirs is a lot less graphic and messed up. This one is definitely deserving of its Mature rating, by far.)
More accurately to my initial point, I re-read the fic and found that I still liked it, and then I thought, why don't I tackle the question of how a Taylor with unrestricted telepathy akin to her bug-control would turn out? The answer is... I don't know. This is a strange, strange work. I don't quite understand what I'm going for here, but... unrestricted telepathy is OP as fuck, I guess. Enjoy the ride.
(Also, before you guys start blowing up my PMs on SpaceBattles, calm down please. I'm TheEpicLotfi, but I go by Daoist Mystery on Royalroad and Ao3.)

Summary
For better or worse, Taylor's newly acquired parahuman abilities and her unintentional stumble into villainy were not what she expected. Her life was now a barely controlled freefall, and Nobody definitely wasn't helping. Even if they were doing their best. And, on top of all that, what in the world was going on with Emma and Sophia?
Alt-Power Taylor with a power that is... difficult... for her, to say the least, but brimming with potential if she can figure out how to correctly harness them. And, of course, keep Nobody from getting distracted.
Now, if only she could also keep Emma out of her head.
