Summary
Taylor Hebert doesn't get powers from a locker. She gets them years earlier, on a subway platform in New York—alongside three strangers who should never have shared a moment, let alone a bond. By the time she returns to Brockton Bay, she's a masked vigilante with a spear, two unusually talkative ravens, and a reputation built on myth and misdirection. She doesn't plan on running into Lily again. She definitely doesn't expect to find herself back in her old best friend's orbit.
But the city's quieter than she remembers, and the streets don't feel safe anymore. Something's changed. The Empire is moving in daylight, the PRT is watching from the shadows, and Taylor’s past—the messy, violent, beautiful parts of it—is starting to catch up. Sometimes, being a hero means taking off the mask. Sometimes, it means putting it back on.
[[Formerly part of my snip thread, now it's own fic! Wooooo!]]

SB 1235747; int. Emma II
Wow.
Exceedingly high quality prose, fit for a published novel. Chronic misspellings of Huginn, with a bare handful of other editing errors.
The world is just a bit rougher, but the focal characters are just a bit better, in a way that enhances both the feeling of realness and the feeling of hope. The new PRT is... not bad, but it's the one aspect of the story where I feel something shaped a little like disappointment. It's... too similar to my image of the FBI. A government organization. A little rougher. A little realer.
Individual scenes and locations are established very well. A wide range of topics are written with such depth that I would be unsurprised if the author was drawing on lived experiences. Excellent use of interiority and medium; transitions between past and present always feel more like memory than like flashbacks.
The characters are well written, the dynamics enjoyable. The AU is pervasive enough that little of Taylor remains recognizable to me, but she is the perfect lens to examine the characters of everyone around her. Emma's significance in the story blindsided me, as someone who has a distaste for her. I don't dislike her here— well. I'm still leery of her, somehow, but I can't imagine this story without her.
Chapter 13 eviscerated me. I wanted to cry. I wanted to give Lily a hug.
I'm going to be thinking about it for a long while.I'm going to hold this story in my heart for a very long while.
Outstanding.

Summary
Inspired by the tabletop RPG, Maid.
Taylor triggers with a very different power. A power that comes with a make over, a maid uniform, and every incentive and tool needed to be the best damn maid she can be. But... are maids SUPPOSED to seduce their boss? And their customers? And their enemies?
A fluffy, slice-of-life romantic comedy featuring Maid!Taylor aware of her growing harem but powerless to stop its growth, topped off with a light seasoning of crack. Has some LitRPG elements for flavor and comedy, but they are not the main focus of the story, are not heavily considered, and most of the story is told from he perspective of characters other than Taylor, and thus these elements are absent for the majority of the story.

QA: [ESTABLISHING BRIDGE]
The ping was not a request, or even a demand. It was simply a statement of fact. Negotiator made no attempt to resist, however. Queen Administrator did with its neighbors as it pleased (and in the Shardspace, they were all neighbors), and expending energy to deny its attempts at establishing the bridge between them would only be a waste in the end.
Still, Negotiator sent a ping back.
N: [CONFIRMING ESTABLISHMENT OF BRIDGE]
Negotiator would make it clear that it was its own decision to allow the bridge to be made, even if Negotiator couldn't exactly stop it in the first place. In fact, as crystalline shapes extended out from an island far off in the darkness towards the Negotiator's own island, the Negotiator decided to meet them in the middle. The matter of their true selves mingled together over the infinite darkness as the bridge was completed.

Summary
Victoria Stansfield had it all; A loving husband, a career to be proud of, and a sister that meant the world to her. Everything came crashing down in one drunken evening that sent Victoria flying off into the night; her life left in shambles behind her.
Taylor Hebert suffered through hell and came out the other side a celebrated Hero. With her best friend in her corner, she had nothing to fear; except for a book written by someone from her past, and commitment. Bouncing from one hookup to the next was no longer enough, she needed something more.
When Victoria visited a quaint queer bookstore, neither woman suspected that a simple book recommendation would change both their lives so drastically.

A Young Parahuman's Protectorate Record by ThaviaVex
Fandoms: Parahumans Series - Wildbow, 幼女戦記 | Youjo Senki | Saga of Tanya the Evil (Anime)
12 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
After being trapped in the locker, Taylor wakes up in the hospital with memories of another life in her head--memories of being the decorated aerial mage Tanya von Degurechaff, serving on the front lines of the most devastating war in another world's history. She didn't know whether this was a strange parahuman power, the work of Being X, or something else entirely, but one thing always remained the same: in a world gone mad and drenched in violence, the only way to succeed is to signal utter competence to your superiors and the threat of brutal escalation to your enemies.
Watch out, Brockton Bay. The Devil of the Rhine is reborn once more.

Strong Enough by Argentorum
Fandoms: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Anime), Parahumans Series - Wildbow
06 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Taylor Hebert has only ever wished to be one thing, but in Night City it is harder to accept your own weakness, then to prove yourself strong enough to die.
A canon divergence where a different Main Character gets the Sandevistan, and a different world results.

Summary
“There once was a Lost Girl. She had wandered through both empty streets and her crowded mind, looking with wonder at the closed books that filled it. Each book whispered of a memory and a tale, and, sometimes, she didn’t know the difference.
“Not until a Clever Fox tricked her into learning it.”
Wordsworth is a Case 53 Alt Power Worm fic that features a Taylor Hebert who took seriously her love of reading, an Emma Barnes who looks at herself like most of the fandom does, and a Lisa Wilbourn who thinks foxes are neat. Also, lots and lots of books—and ways to weaponize them.
And maybe a bit of true love. It doesn’t happen every day, though.

Summary
Smiling and blushing to herself she then remembered the question asked and the people in front her.
Returning her face to a neutral position she spoke “ Do you want my full name or just only my name?”.
“Your full name please.” Militia said. The woman sat upright and gazed at one of the cameras in the room.
When was the last time she had seen one of those? Bringing her gaze back to Miss Militia she answered “ Taylor Annette KHEPRI Hebert-Dallon.”
