    Summary

    All the world's a symphony, and what is a performance without its conductor?

    Armed with a tech-based power that doesn't actually let her create any tech, Taylor Hebert dives headfirst into a deadly balancing act of appeasing the PRT's expectations while mitigating their fears, all the while working to expand her own power, and, by doing so, regain her autonomy. Will she learn how to trust people again and rise on her own terms, or burn out under the weight of her potential?

    Summary

    On a good day, 25% of capes in an Endbringer attack die. The latest was not a good day. Before Leviathan hit, there were over 100 capes alive in Brockton Bay.

    Now there are 13.

    Summary

    On the same day, on three different continents, three babies are born.

    An Akura, an Arelius, and a nobody.

    In another world, those children would never meet.

    In another world, those children would have amounted to nothing.

    That is not this world.

    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!]]

    Summary

    Taylor Hebert used to look at the world through yellow lenses. She brought her hometown to its knees, killed her people’s greatest hero, and in the end she saved the planet. Her reward was worse than death; she was sentenced to a new life on a new Earth with no mission and no purpose, having already performed the greatest feat of her life.

    Lucky for her, she fell through reality and landed in Lena Luthor’s lap. Cadmus is lurking in National City, anti-alien sentiment is heating up, and Supergirl is as mighty and righteous as anyone Taylor has ever seen. How does a rehabilitated supervillain start a new life in a world that hardly seems to need her?
