    Summary

    Taylor Hebert. Martial.

    A new Independent hero emerging is always a welcome relief in Brockton Bay, and a self-enhancing Brute with short-term precognition has just the powers needed to make do in such a city.

    But as the days pass more and more questions arise. What are the rules her power works under? What do her odd dreams mean? Why do they break the established rules?

    Her party grows and new issues appear every day, with the questions left to the wayside in favour of tackling what is front of her. But even if you don't look at them, truths will still be real and in motion. No matter how big or small, if you don't search for the answer, the answer might end up finding you.

    Primordial power stirs. The Upper Domain watches.

    ---------------

    No knowledge for any of the Xeno games needed.

    Updated summary since the old one didn't tell you anything.

    Summary

    So, when I wrote A Darker Path (links will be available) a whole bunch of side-stories were proposed by readers, quite a few of which I cheerfully canonised. Here are those side-stories. I will do my best to give clues for where in the narrative they fit.

    Summary

    “We were wrong,” said Armsmaster. “His power isn’t invisible blades. He has a fire-based blaster power as well. Not to mention the regeneration.”
    “Fire, and blades?” muttered Tattletale. “His power is based on… a kitchen?”
    “My name is Ryomen Sukuna”, said Sukuna. “And all of you shall kneel. Or you shall die. I prefer… the latter. Make my day.”

    Summary

    In another time and place, Eidolon died instead of Hero.

    The Nine were wiped out to a man.

    The Simurgh was never spawned.

    That doesn't mean there weren't new problems.

    This is a story of the aftermath of Scion's Rampage, as characters both new and familiar try to rebuild their lives after the apocalypse.

    Some are better than they were, both wiser and happier than you may be used to.

    Taylor Hebert? Well, she's learning how to live after years in a secret prison...but at least she has a robot sidekick.

    Summary

    A Random SI named Vortex killed Leviathan, and interceded after the grand reveal of Skitters unmasking as a mole to the Undersiders and the Protectorate. He intervenes on the issue and makes Skitter a deal. One boon in return for coming with him as a student. The amount of time undetermined.

    In return for this agreement, over the arguments of the Heroes and the Undersiders, Skitter asks him to save Dinah Alcott from Coil.

    Coil, Noelle, and the Travelers are taken down before they leave.

    Skitter is returned to Brockton Bay the day the Endbringer Memorial is being revealed, looking about ten years older, wearing a black bikini and a half mask.

    She is immediately grabbed by the PRT, but Skitters return goes public on PHO.

    The PRT are trying to figure out how to spin this and control the optics, so they apply their full unmasking protocols on Skitter. Upon discovering her past and the source of her Trigger Event, the PRT and the Protectorate realize just how fucked Skitters view of the heroes is and decide it's time for damage control and information gathering.

    Taylor... isn't feeling helpful.

    Summary

    Henry thought he did an excellent job, all things considered.

    Sure, he planned to die soon, but he had done his best to help beforehand. Not by playing the role of hero or villain, but through handing out whatever information regarding the future he could. He wasn't a respected figure when rambling about Endbringer attacks, but he was hardly sticking around to see the aftermath.

    Now he could pat himself on the back and wait for the Simurgh to do her work. Madison was a doomed city, and death was preferable to the misery of Worm.

    But he didn’t die. Instead, he’s trapped in a quarantined city with everyone believing he's some sort of prophet.

    Not to mention he’s a cape now. Fantastic.

    Summary

    One day, everything was fine. The next, the bay was frozen solid, a castle of ice standing imperiously over it, snow falling continuously over a city once known for being pretty warm even in the thick of winter.

    Tattletale, seeing the potential of the person who created the ice, as well as knowing that if the city gets snowed in any further, the PRT won't have any choice but take more dangerous methods to get rid of the one causing it, decides to set off for the ice castle herself.

    Summary

    A teenager from our world wakes up in a dumpster in Brockton Bay, three months before Worm begins. He knows the characters. He knows *some* of what’s coming. But he doesn’t know why he’s here—or how the story actually ends.

    Summary

    After a year of active villainy, the telepath known as Revenant has overplayed her hand, winding up with her identity revealed, legs shattered, in custody and waiting for a fate worse than death to befall her once again - only for Cauldron to offer an out. Brockton Bay, a city without Revenant's enemies, a perfect escape, but for the favors owed to Cauldron once she's established herself.

    But things are not simple. Revenant's enemies will not let her go that easily, especially the ones that knew her when she was Sidestep, the once-friends she'd betrayed the most, and Brockton Bay, while not having her old enemies, is hardly any safer for an up-and-coming villain than Revenant's native Los Diablos.

    Summary

    Contessa is many things. She is the behatted bogeywoman who kills in a blink. She is the key to Cauldron's success. She is one of the best precognitives to ever live. Most of all, she is the one who walks the Golden Path to Victory.

    Someone should probably tell her that, considering she just forgot about all of it.

    Or,

    What if Contessa didn't know anything about anything?

    Summary

    Dying, dying sucks a lot. Things get worse when you wake up in the second closest place to Hell, Brockton Bay. Oh and just for shits and giggles you have a brain parasite that gives you powers from multiple dimensions, in exchange for wanting to fight literally everything that breathes and several things that don't. You just have to build them, avoid pissing off your cousin who is only slightly less dangerous than Contessa and survive several endbringers. Easy canon, easy life, right?

    Or I got way into worm, in a very literal way.
