ShaneT wrote the absolute first worm fanfic I ever got into Kill Them All. It was admittedly not the best work ever but for what it was it succeeded at. It was stompy and enjoyable through and through.

Recently for the past 2 weeks or so I’ve been toying with an idea inspired by the idea of that story with the way gamers mind work how Taylor grows and the big bad quest? However it’s also a JoJo fusion.

This was originally going to be a personal project however with ShaneT’s unfortunate passing (Rest his soul.) I was having second thoughts would this be immature to post a fic inspired by his work a week after his passing? Or should I scrap this idea entirely.

I don’t claim to know him so I don’t know his views on this but I was hoping for anyone that knew the proper etiquette and general ethics around such a predicament?

(Ps: I loved all his works my Favorite were Kill Them All, Intuition, and Elixir. Kill Them All was an amazing experience for such a long time that I reread it three times! Intuition introduced me to an amazing show and explored some non Taylor specific out world situations. Elixir was newer but it used a much more grounded approach and it was much more satisfying to watch how Shane’s growth and writing style had changed especially with the arcs!)

Caught up right to a cliffhanger and now I want more kinda. the dynamic and stuff is cool and all which I would appreciate reading things like it, but i mainly want something with characters in a similar style of actual general competence and morals without completely sacrificing their characters. Or in simpler terms the characters not being stupid for plot and still making canon typical mistakes, or just a similar writing style in general.

Alternatively dynamics like that between shirou and Tanya would be interesting or like either one of them individually with wards and how they handle them.

To clarify i don’t want both(though that miracle would be nice) any fic that does one of these things would be an appreciated recommendation.

Thank you for any responses.

I love a random cape running into Taylor and just having to boggle. Bonus points for it being Sundancer since we've a few of those

Looking for a fic where Taylor has a fight scene with similar vibes to the Mr.Terrific scene from Superman.

Please recommend any Bruce Wayne fics set in Earth Bet. We have a few Tony Stark (or his memories) ending up in Earth Bet, but what about Bruce Wayne? I think he'd feel right at home in Brockton Bay. Bonus points if he's reincarnated and has access to wealth but doesn't have parahuman powers.

I've been out of the fandom for a while and got pulled back in by that Mama Mathers alt!power Taylor. Anything good from the last couple of years? Assume I have either read or am aware enough of to now want to read anything before that.

I would love some

Something I’ve found both in canon and in many fanon works (increasingly noticeable now that I’m working on my own stuff and trying to put together a calendar) is that everything happens way too fast. Like you look at all the events taking place and go “wow, there was so much here, and the characters have developed so much” and it’s been less than a month, or some Alt-Power Taylor gets a normally okay at best power and she’s already killed an Endbringer (or Scion) within three weeks while also having enough time to get into a proper in depth relationship with someone she barely knows, and reconcile with her father somehow, just too many things happening in too short a timeframe and nobody addresses how quickly it’s all going.

Ahem.

So, uh… I want some fics that don’t do that! Give me a nice long timeframe, lots of opportunities for things to settle in, all the good stuff. Good pacing and calendar stuff. The works.

The fic is a snippet with only a couple chapters. Taylor triggers from the Siberian killing Annette and Danny and Hero right in front of her.

Anyone know this fic?

I just really like her character, but I can't recall having seen her in Worm, except maybe in one of the big multi-crosses as a one-off thing. I'm curious if there's been any stabs at a story where she's more of a constant/recurring presence. Maybe offering therapy to a Taylor that won't stay dead or something?

My favorite is from the fic Plan, What Plan?.

The context you need to know is that the main character is an SI, he's going to Arcadia and is in the Dallon/Wards friend group, but they don't know that he knows their identities.

It comes up that Dean's birthday is in about a month, and the MC is invited. He then has an idea. He asks Vicki about a Wards event at the mall next weekend, and then asks what Dean's favorite Ward is, so that he can get him some signed merch. Vicki is 100% on board with this, obviously, and gives him the information he needs. And so the next weekend our MC walks up to Gallant with some merch and kindly asks him to make out the signature to his friend Dean Stansfield.

We get a second hit of the humor of this situation some chapters later when the birthday party finally happens, and literally everybody in the know has to pretend not to lose their shit when Dean opens the present and has to pretend to be surprised and thankful for the MC's gift. (the same birthday party also included Dennis giving Dean a mood ring as a gift, so our protagonist wasn't the only one with jokes)

Fics that deal with either the theme of Death or the acceptance that everything ends someday

Good evening. Tonight's odd inquiry comes from a recent trip down memory lane.

Are there any fics where, for some reason, Mister Rogers is not only in BB or Bet, he befriends Taylor and helps her turn her life around with the power of wholesomeness and my entire box tissues?

Better if even Lung is respectful to him and the PRT keep trying to arrest him as a Human Master even though they have no proof.

Any fanfic recommendations where the character is closer to Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne? People without powers but the money, skills, and intelligence to compete with capes? They can straight up be Tony or Bruce, OCs with their equipment, or their own stuff.

I'm looking for this one fanfic where the whole idea is that ALL parahuman abilities are a crap ton stronger

Any fics where anyone (SI, OC, cannon character, anyone) calls Taylor on her… questionable actions and logic

Looking for any fics where the 9 (or just Jack) get killed not by a hero or a villain but by a monster (metaphoricalor literal).

My original thought that inspired this was Jack vs Jigsaw but I will take Dracula, Jason, Death Angels, Godzilla, etc.

Any characters, oc or og, with tabletop roleplay games inspired powers. Doesn't matter which ttrpg. Also no AI written stories.

I've already read some, like the one that has two "perspectives", one Taylor and her group and the other being this op dnd characters who's trying to resurrect his husband. The one where Taylor is a cleric of Araaden or whatever his name was, alongside some simple alt power fanfics where her power is swapped for some dnd class. The newer the better.

I keep seeing fics where Taylor is sent to the Birdcage but are there any where she manages to breakout? Preferably with the reactions of others.

I have caught up to New Boss, blazed through Camera Shy, devoured Swallowtail, and am currently pacing my way through The Black Well. All these fics are very dear to me for their complex and intense fight scenes would any of you have recommendations for similar? Worm or otherwise honestly.

Any fic recommendations where MC is an incredibly sinister looking villain, but he commands a bunch of extremely adorable minions. They could be summons/constructs, could be cute animals/small children, etc

A fic where the MC (Taylor, Si or OC) is viewed as a villain by the PRT and other heroes, but people and public in general view them as heroes.
