Changing universes, getting superpowers, and merging mind and soul with a homeless orphan child isn't terribly dramatic or difficult. The parts before that really aren't all that much worse. Unfortunately, that's only the beginning for poor, unfortunate, Jacqueline Colere. Being small and adorable is a pretty good superpower, as is being mostly capable of making good decisions. And healing powers are pretty great, even if they're also pretty useless in a fight. She even has good people...

Worm AU
It was June 2011, and Emma Barnes was the queen bee of her high school...
An SI Tinker of Fiction thread, because my muse refuses to let me do anything else and the world clearly needs more of them.
Follow the misadventures and 'heroic' blunderings of Adeline Mathews as she navigates parhuman puberty in Brockton Bay. [Excitement. Amusement. Affection]
Because the leader of the ABB Lung was arrested Bakuda went to extreme measures to break him out. She should have known better than to bring hundreds of people close to their breaking point. She pushed a girl in a yellow shirt just a little too far.
With her new powers Nozomi must now prepare for the Empire 88's reprisal.
It's not like she trusted the local Protectorate to do that.
They didn't even manage to keep Lung arrested.

Wherever she ends up, Taylor Hebert always seems to throw a wrench in things. Why would being resurrected and wielding the Light be any different? Or: in which Taylor ends up becoming the Queen's left hand and the Vanguard has no idea how to handle it. A Post-GM Destiny AU.

Christmas Break has begun and the Trio have backed off, so why does Taylor feel uneasy? And why does she feel drawn to the sea more intensely than ever? Then there's that storm on the horizon...
Dead, pending complete rebuild
After her death at the hands of the parahuman villain Skitter, Rebecca Costa-Brown finds herself in an unknown land.
Scion's been killed and the world's been saved. Fantastic! Less fantastic: Contessa realizing she is going to spend the rest of her life dodging Legend and assassination attempts. She decides she is going to enjoy the rest of her life, even if that means starting all over again in a different world...

A young woman goes to sleep, alone, in her bed, and wakes up the next morning, twice over, on a mossy boulder in a forest. With two bodies, powers that allow her to sculpt her own flesh and the world around her (or, at least, the parts that are solid and not alive), and naught else but the clothes on her backs, she seeks to regain some semblance of the quiet, comfortable life she had before. But this world she finds herself in is Earth Bet, and with her efforts having all the grace and...
She'd read stories like this. Someone wakes up in the world of a favorite (or not so favorite) work of fiction, with a phenomenal cosmic power, and solves all sorts of problems, and probably gets in a relationship with their favorite character while they're at it.
Still, you never really expected it to happen to you.
Well, she had the waking up part covered, anyway. But her phenomenal cosmic power didn't really seem up to the task when it came to solving any of the problems in Worm. This...
Twenty years have passed since the Fissure opened. Little is publicly known about it, save that the tremor of its creation rippled around the world. The fledgling PRT and Protectorate were quick to encircle it with walls once they’d confirmed strange creatures had begun to emerge from its depths and odd phenomena followed at their heels. But they weren’t fast enough to contain everything that slipped through.
Taylor's mother was different from everyone else. Taylor was, as well. They knew...
Queen Administrator wasn’t quite sure where she Host was or why Host brought them there. Still, she'd be content as long as she could create her bioengineered Friends, keep Host's body safe, and possibly bring Host's replacement family to power and glory. She'd be thrilled if she could figure out all the nuances of human communication systems, too; why do so few of their gestures have an obvious link to what they're meant to convey?
Or: Human’ing is haaaaard!
A young woman tries to find true love.

It's not easy being me, you know.
I'm sure everyone looks at me and thinks "Oooh check out Kaida! She's so rich and effortlessly pretty and graceful and her Dad loves her so much and all those means gangbangers just fall over for her."
And see, what they don't know is that I'm also heiress to a criminal empire, my Dad is Lung, and I'm the greatest Tinker who've ever lived.
Really, it's not easy being ✨Perfect✨.
A culture's teachings, and most importantly the nature of its people, achieves definition in conflict. They either find themselves, or find themselves lacking. The fate of Brockton Bay will be decided, as war is waged in the hearts of its people, against the Darkness... or the Light.
October 9th, 2009. It was a date that had burned itself into Madison's brain through months and years of obsession. It was the date when she had taken that first step to ruin. That date when she'd taken the coward's way out and clasped hands with the devil. She could fix it, though. What was the brain, if not a series of waves? Waves could travel through space and time, if you knew how.
And she knew how.
Emma, wanting to be able to go heroing alongside Shadow Stalker, manages to acquire a Cauldron vial. But just having powers of her own wasn't enough for her, so she takes advantage of a rapidly crumbling home life to pressure Taylor into serving as her villainous rival under a modified sponsorship agreement.
A tinkery take on BeaconHill's Nemesis.
Madison Clements has been interested in the Fugly Bob Challenger since she was ten-years-old. Her parents and friends are dismissive or actively against it, but there is one person who's supportive.
When Taylor shows up at Emma's house after summer camp, Emma gets just a little time to talk to her one on one before Sophia has completely gotten Emma on her side.
Warnings: Major character death, Nazis saying bad words, psychosis, and fluff.
Once, there was a moth, drawn inexorably to the divine flame. It stole that fire for itself, forged it into weapons that could shake the earth and cast down the heavens themselves, heedless of cost or sacrifice. Surely, it thought, even as its wings charred in that heat, with this might it could defeat the ceaseless malice which sought to consume all life. Anything was justified in the face of such evil. Victory would wash away all sin.
It failed.
The moth burned. Its world burned with it...
alternate-Anshin'in from Medaka Box in Medaka-Box-ified Earth Bet contends with the life as the Protagonist of her own story, with it's own themes. The tone is hopefully more Medaka Box than Worm.
As an AU and Alt-power reader, my favorite thing is when the characters Don't match up with canon, so try not to assume that the canon factions will respond (or even exist) here the same way they would in a less-AU-fic.

Queen Administrator hadn't taken ending up in another dimension into its calculations, but it's going to work with what it has.

Sonnie doesn't know which is real. The monster she hides in, or the shell she shows to the world. Is she even Sonnie, or is she just the creature? Khanivore is sharp, nasty, brutal and physically incapable of living beyond the tank they use to wheel her from death-match to death-match. A perfect match for the tattered spirit nestled inside the bioengineered flesh.

In which a Queen Administrator hosted in a small human body is brought to a world that already has an older, alternate and adult Queen Administrator gradually recovering from the loss of Taylor during the Gold Morning. One is very fond of creating biological, robotic, and biomechanical abominations Friends while the other is the most powerful psychic on that Earth. Despite their differing backgrounds and current specialties, they're both highly competent and know exactly what they're doing...
Taylor has spent the last 18 years in Creation after dying in a past life. She doesn't know why she's here, nor exactly what the world wants with her, but it does seem particularly interested in making her life as inhumanly frustrating as possible.
Fate had a way of making her into a villain, but at least this time around there was a benefits package involved.
“But you should know your chances going in. Given the statistics from our previous encounters with this beast, a ‘good day’ still means that one in four of the people in this room will probably be dead before this day is done.”
15th May 2011 turned out to be a very bad day indeed. And now Taylor and Lisa are just two of the refugees fleeing the flooded ruins.
