After filling out an online CYOA build to aid them with inspiration for their next fic, an author discovers that said CYOA wasn’t a CYOA at all, but rather a job application.
One for the position of Vassal for a down-on-his-luck Former Overlord with one ‘hell’ of an axe to grind against a certain overpowered Entity, and is looking for someone to enact some well-deserved revenge on his behalf.
His —now her— task, whether she chooses to accept it or not?
To fight, to grow, to develop her...
Trigger Events aren't just the worst days of your lives. It's what defines your power. In the case of one Taylor Hebert, she wanted nothing more than to get out of that locker and find a way back home to her Dad.
Unfortunately for her, her "Passenger" has a skewed idea of how to get her home.
On the plus side, at least she had some stories to tell her Dad when she got home.
Taylor Hebert, veteran of Brockton Bay, Gold Morning, and decades of what followed, finds herself back at the beginning, facing her biggest challenge yet.
She doesn't know what sort of alternate universe hellscape she is in, but there is no way she and the Undersiders were this batshit as teens.
Taylor Hebert, A locker, a trio of bullies, and meddling ancient powers.
This can only end well, right?

Taylor Hebert spends nine days and nine nights unconscious after losing an eye in the locker, straddling the line between life and death. Then, she receives a legacy which forcibly derails the path of Earth Bet. Work title from the material component of Glyph of Warding in 5e. Now with extra Nazis to beat up!
A side story to my latest multi-series crossover, The End of the Circus: A Story of the Yizibajohei, set 18 months before the main story and concentrating on the characters of Worm in the universe of TEOTC...who is joined by a Taylor Hebert from a "pure" Worm universe immediately after Contessa gave her a .357 lobotomy post-Gold Morning.
Give a tinker enough time and they will give you the world.

Small changes butterfly into big ones. Although butterflies aren't quite the correct insect...
And life, once more, becomes a touch odd for everyone in range of a Hebert.
Don't let it Bug you.
A splash of cold water wrenched me back into the conscious world, leaving me drenched and spluttering for air. I tried to blink away the haze that had fallen over the world… before realizing that I wasn't wearing my glasses.
"Good, you woke up. Wasn't sure if you would."
Junior Analyst Taylor Hebert working for the PRT finds herself tied to a chair in an unknown location, and things only get worse from there. Soon she'll be embroiled in a conspiracy that could decide the fate of Brockton...
Well, here we go again...
This started off as a prompt in the Taylor Varga discord channel. The prompt was "What if Taylor got the powers of the Juggernaut?" A bit of research, 3 days of writing, and 4 days of dueling editors, and this is the result.
Also, Worm canon has been thrown out of the building.
Worm is the IP of Wildbow. The Juggernaut and related things are the IP of Marvel Comics.
The posting schedule for this will be whenever I get time to come up with a segment.
*Update*...
For nearly twenty years, the nations of Earth Bet have been plagued by monsters known as Endbringers. The Three, as they are known, are all equally terrifying with their potent abilities and their purpose to bring nothing but the end of civilization.
Rising from the Earth itself comes the Hero Killer, Behemoth. A localized kill field so powerful that only the most durable of capes can hope to resist it. He is inexorable in his advance, with his brute strength and immense durability, filling...
To Boldly Grow…
This is the tale of one Taylor Hebert, fresh to the command of a fleet Starship found in salvage.
Will there be analogs of Star Trek, probably. Will there be Wards or Undersiders prominent, that is not the base intent but the muse may wander off in that direction. Puns? Yes, but not as the focus. A different take on both Emma and Sophia from the get go, due largely to AU elements that may be explained or go the route of handwavium –like how the heck does Taylor get a...
Taylor triggers with an absolutely terrible power but she's determined to join the cape scene either way. Things go poorly for her.
Okay, a few notes about this story first, so you can decide if it's for you or not. I was...

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.

Crossover between Worm, the Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, the Cosmere in general, Mother of Learning, and Steven Universe. Why? Because I felt like it.
A hungry Godzilla eats a Shard and now Taylor Hebert must deal with the consequences of becoming a God-King incarnate... Eh, being an Endbringer is close enough. For now.
Not everything is as it appears in the Hebert household. And when the PRT stop by to investigate...
Well, there are worse excuses to reinvent yourself, aren't there?
Taking hints from Spy x Family but set in the gritty universe of Worm in 2009, years before canon.
This story follows William McBride, a PRT agent who suffered at the hands of Leet's infamous tech and was enhanced. His past life or maybe future, memories awakened and he tries to prevent the world from ending in five years, the only problem is that the world doesn't align with his memories. Annette is alive and Danny is dead. Unheard of capes are around and agents aren't the useless punching...
The flute incident goes differently, and Taylor triggers almost a year ahead of schedule. The New Wave finds her afterwards, and, well, a Hero's job description involves helping those who need it.
Which should be fine for everyone involved. After all, there's no way trying to rebuild your sense of self after a traumatic event using the worldview of nearby parahumans could ever end badly.
Just ask Emma Barnes.

"Maybe you should get that checked. You might be going crazy."
I just snort in response.
or;
A great beast swims through the sea of stars. A girl accompanied by the voices in her head wants to be a hero. On a path paved with good intentions, Taylor delves into a world of mystery that she is woefully unprepared for, asking a question that puts everything at risk-
What really happened in Brockton Bay?
When the flames devour Winslow, a lone girl is left behind, trapped in a dark smoke-filled basement. She crawls from the ashes on shattered wings, with only one goal: to leave the city that took so much from her. However, she quickly finds that she has more problems than managing her destructive powers and the strange impulses that come along with them.
Storm clouds gather over the Bay, and a serial killer stalks the streets of her neighborhood. Can Taylor protect her family when the storm...
In which Taylor Hebert gains the ability to make potions, and sets out on the Alchemist's Path, in search of the Philosopher's Stone.
Ao, after being disturbed by the caterwauling of a mortal, takes time to find out why its not being seen to by the local gods. He soon finds that the mortal isn't in his universe and that the universe has no gods.
Seeing that the universe is unbalanced he decides to take action but, as it's not his universe, he can't directly interfere.
And thus Taylor Hebert walks out of her locker as the Chosen of Ao.
This is my attempt on making a fanfic story out of the quest I made from Worm. The Summary and the source of the quest can be found below.
SUMMARY: Taylor died at the locker, and after a day, something dangerous descended from the beyond.
Was it the symbol of the End? Or the rise of a new Hope?
Only time will tell, as these creatures popped up on a single city on the North East Coast on USA, and only a single consciousness held control over all of these creatures.
Quest Source is HERE.
Alt-power Taylor in the Worm verse with butterflies in play before the canon locker scene. Things are changed beforehand and echoed through the dotted lines of the stations, but not tied to them. Like a winding river, it may flow past familiar shores or cut its own path through solid rock. Is it crack? Not primarily. Is it different from my other fics? --it does have a different title, so yes.
Worm is not mine. I am just playing in a world built and owned by another fellow. Its his Lego...

Becoming a superhero was already going to be difficult, but how is she going to fare as a Demon Hunter? One thing's for sure: This party is about to get crazy.

Annette Hebert was a mystery. Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. As close as Taylor was to her mom, she barely knew of her time with Lustrum. And while her passing devastated Taylor, she will do whatever she could to continue her mother's legacy, even if that means she has to discover it first.
