She was but a wayward soul among countless others, seeking purpose in a world drunk in power and discord. It was a simple innocent wish inscribed on a handwritten archive—a journey that wouldn't decide the fate of humanity. Rather, the fates of those who are most precious to her.

Maribel Hearn was born with the quirk that could see and touch the boundaries of existence. Now pressured into the life of a hero, she finds more than she hoped for. For better or worse. What mysteries clouded the past of this future? Touhou Near-Future/MHA AU. Currently: Internship Arc

Prompt: Emma loses an eye in the alley and ditches the Queen Bee persona for an eye-patch wearing delinquent who's still besties with a happy chatterbox geek.

I'm here, Ruby.

hi

Where a girl finds true friends when she looks within. And where friends see what lies beneath the surface.

Kyubey promised that humanity would reach the stars one day. The Incubator tactfully refrained from saying too much about what they would find there.

Ruby is born with the dangerous power to summon Grimm. Sheltered, shy, and under constant watch, Ruby is suddenly invited to join Beacon Academy. With the awful potential her power carries and a disturbing deformity that could out her to her peers, Ruby is tested in protecting the humanity of Remnant while keeping a dangerous secret. - AU, sorta follows canon. (Remaster of THE V1.)

Whatever she expected when she triggered, it wasn't meeting a short white-haired girl or turning into a hyper-advanced technological platform. Of course when you're Taylor Hebert, things frequently don't go as planned.

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.

Oneshots for Worm, mostly crossovers.

Six months after Salem's defeat, the world of Remnant has changed. The Grimm are weakening, and the Kingdoms have started to expand for the first time in decades. However, none of this matters to Ruby Rose, as she must learn to contend with an entirely different world.

Taylor will be hers. She doesn't have a choice.

God's death had left them broken, devoid of their original purpose. Their numbers dwindled as they fell one by one to despair, until hope herself came to raise them back up. (No Rebellion)

When an anthropomorphic personification of a WWII-era warship in the form of a beautiful woman shows up to save you from your murderous girlfriend who somehow grows a pair of black wings, it's safe to assume that your life will never be the same again. CHAPTER 07: GATHERING CLOUDS

Following a tragic turn of fate, Taylor is left on her own with nobody else. But less than three weeks after, she comes home to find a girl who claims to be both her new sister ...and the Simurgh. But that can't possibly be right, can it?

It is not an understatement to say that Nanoha, Fate and Homura have been through many dangerous experiences. However, none have been quite like this. For when Homura's attempt at resetting the timeline goes further and merges two worlds that should never have met...the situation can never be the same.

Unbeknownst to Nanoha and Fate, Earth was not devoid of magic. In fact, magic spanned across the globe in well-hidden societies; one of which has taken an interest in Arisa and Suzuka during their trip to England. But this hidden world, this world of silk, survives on its secrecy. Secrecy which Arisa and Suzuka must help uphold, even from their best friends.

In a world where the villains outnumber the heroes, where black and white becomes grey, there is a new force entering the game. A weapon more powerful than anyone can fully understand. And as the old saying goes, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. There will be changes in the world, and cities will shake. A Prototype/Worm crossover. Rated M for blood. Up for adoption.

"There is a story, old as time, of he who could catch the stars. Unnamed and eternal, the star-catcher would lead the Fallen, rising from the lowest station to the highest exalted peaks." - The Eliksni, known to Humanity as the Fallen, were once a proud race who revered the Traveller. Those few who remember the old ways say the Old Machine remembers their sacrifice too.

A story of a female admiral in a Kanmusu naval base and how she deals with the many different personalities around her and also in her unique situation. Each chapter is loosely linked with each other. OC (obviously) is not paired with any Kanmusu as she is a straight female. MAY have pairings in the future.

Abyssal forces have a stranglehold on mankind, and it's taking everything the combined naval and kanmusu forces of the world can to just to break even. USS New Jersey finds herself thrust into the middle of this world, but how much difference can one battleship do? Are you really waiting for an answer? The answer is a LOT. Seriously. She's a frigging BATTLESHIP.

Ilya likes to play video games, and in the time she has remaining, Shirou is more than willing to play the new VR game with her. But when they are trapped inside the game, [Sword Art Online], they determine something even more distressing: Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a Magus.

Zion does his job right and tries to save Eden, but fails, resulting in an absolute mess and a new Entity born from the impact that is completely lost, broken, and stuck on Earth-Bet without any idea of what she's supposed to do. Oh, and Fortuna is going to try to save the worlds. All of them.

What would you do if you could see death? If you'd touched emptiness itself, had it invade your soul, infest your mind, and whisper in your ear, telling you how to kill anything? How would you handle knowing you could never not see, never not comprehend the end of everything? Because for Taylor, that's reality, and there are no easy answers. Kara no Kyoukai influences.

I first saw her when I was five. Ever since then, she was like a guardian angel, swooping in to save me at the last moment. She said she was anything but. I told her she was wrong.

With all the biohazards in the locker, blood poisoning was inevitable. Contamination was also to be expected. What happens when a dormant brew gets added to a parahuman at the exact moment of a trigger event?

Some powers have history. Some powers should not be acquired. Some powers had a plan, should they ever fall. A Worm/Destiny cross that (hopefully) requires zero knowledge of Destiny.

The one where Accelerator goes on a week long bender due to Kamijou Touma's extremely bad luck and makes some decisions that make things very awkward. Taylor Hebert always did like pretty boys.

Torn out of time, Taylor is faced with the loss of everything she's known. But even when all seems lost, sometimes help comes from the unlikeliest of places, and family is found in those who care... Worm AU, Canon Divergence

There was supposed to be more time. It was just meant to be a mission to find and retrieve, and possibly fight somewhere down the line... But I guess our enemy didn't agree with the proposition. Can we really find, retrieve, AND fight at the same time, as we try to track down the remnants of the Pacific War...? Heh, only one way to find out.

Brockton Bay, 1988. The world has only recently realised the existence of people with miraculous powers – parahumans. Young dockworker Danny Hebert, on the other hand, is just trying to live his life. But when his friend is injured by one of these 'capes', Danny realises he might need to start paying more attention to this new world after all.

What if the reason Eden perished in her crash was that there were forces unknown which had previously crashed with the entities? What if those forces wanted to give power to the people being attacked by the Entities? How would things be different if Myrddin wasn't wrong? Taylor Hebert's life is about to change. Officially dead as of 11/26/18.

Sakura is summoned as Berserker. Chaos ensues.

Summary: Brockton Bay has an amazingly temperate climate. But sometimes, winter storms come through anyways. Because of this, Taylor was left in the locker for much longer, with far reaching consequences. Disclaimer: I own nothing. Worm belongs to Wildbow. We just get to play in this universe. It is fanfiction, thus is by definition AU. All changes are for my entertainment.

A 16-year-old naval enthusiast gets summoned onto a platform that holds the warriors of humanity's greatest enemy. In a body weak and useless, what can he do in order to survive?

With the Abyssal Fleet seemingly vanquished the question becomes, how best to adapt the girls to civilian life? The answer chosen by Fleet Command is an adoption program, but both the girls who are to be "mothballed" in this way and their adopters just might find that winning the peace will be harder than winning the war. Thank you to Wolfsbane 706 for beta-reading/proofing.

Yat Sen, the first Chinese shipgirl, has returned to China to assist in fighting the Abyssals and to build a shipgirl fleet. The Japanese sent the group at Shikotan Island to help. How will they deal with the past grudges between the two nations and the huge difference in culture? And how can the Chinese build a powerful shipgirl force out of a few obsolete warships?

Kirov, the Russian Primal has returned to the world, beckoned by Hibiki's prayer for a miracle. The cruiser is sent to Vladivostok, tasked with building up a fleet. Although far more powerful than the Chinese Primal Yat Sen, Kirov has design issues of his own that he would have to deal with. Follow the cruiser as he sets out to do his duty.

After losing Chloe and all life to sudden global destruction at the hands of an unknown enemy, Max makes an unguided one-way jump back to their beginning to try to change fate. Can she and Chloe rebuild a past only Max remembers, while guiding humanity to a less explody future? Pricefield, etc.

Born and raised in Britain, HMS Indestructible served a worthy career under the flag of the Royal Navy. She had expected to rest in peace, and be remembered for her service alone. She had most certainly not expected to be summoned in a human body, in the country that had abandoned her...abandoned the battlecruiser Kongou...

This is not a kind world. Nor a beautiful one. It is cruel, and dark, and violent. There are shadows on every street corner, and things that go bump in the night. There are heroes, villains, and monsters. There are those who are all three. It is a world toppling off the edge, hemorrhaging everything that once made it good. It is a world in pressing need of Light. (Hunter!Taylor)

Strange lights aboard a battleship serving as a memorial. Some things require personal attention.

By all rights, it should have been impossible. Homura had never once seen something like this. Or some'one' like this. She didn't know how to react, when she discovered that Madoka was not...not Madoka. The monster in her body was something she should hate. And yet, she couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger...and nothing would ever be the same.

The White Devil is back at Hogwarts for another year, only this time she has to deal with a part time mage job as well as mysterious attacks, an old injustice, and a boy-hero who can't go two months without putting his life in danger. Book two of the Lyrical Witch series.

It began with the Outsiders. They laid low magic and mystery, and with their might, the Order of the World was changed. All that remained was the whispered secret of a past glory. But Alaya endures, waiting, watching, choosing her champions. The traditions of the past are not so easily erased.

After the locker, a broken Taylor takes a desperate gamble to end the bullying.

It was desperation. It should never have worked, and broke every rule of her powers that she knew of. But Homura Akemi tried anyway, because she could not bear to see Madoka die. Especially not by her own hands. [AU After Timeline 3]

Louise during the summoning festival summons not an average japanese boy...but a woman who personifies a japanese warship! What does this stranger entail for the future of Louise's world?

A young girl who wishes for the most powerful Servant to serve by her side gets what she asked for... though who said only humans can become legends?

Taylor Hebert gets the power to see the numbers that underlie reality. But what will she do when the numbers show her the truth about her former best friend Emma?

When Reimu is fatally wounded during a youkai hunt, Yukari binds her as a shikigami to save her life. The only complication: it makes Reimu a youkai in every way that counts. No longer fit to be the Hakurei shrine maiden, she has to find a new place for herself in Gensokyo, guide her headstrong successor... and deal with some unique new dietary requirements.

AU. Dorothy and Geoff Schmidt are Rachel's new foster parents.

Taylor and Jack Slash are born in each other's places. Weaver is the infamous usurper of the Slaughterhouse Nine, while young Jacob Hebert forges his path through the underworld of Brockton Bay.

"I don't think you're a monster," I said. She laughed briefly, and it was a dark utterance with no humor in it. "No?"

Taylor spends more time in the locker, gets worse injuries and has an earlier introduction to the cape world.

Trigger events fracture something, and how those metaphysical cracks are filled defines the parahuman, both in power and personality. There isn't necessarily even a balance. A different power, a different scale, a different Taylor. A different story. Triggering gave something else; made someone else. The world changed.

Every queen needs a king. Taylor Hebert found hers in the most unlikely place. Alec/Taylor.

Worm is a dark world, a grim world. Everything is gritty, everyone has an agenda. The world itself is spiraling toward ruin. Enter Hope. She's just a nice kid with a unique set of superpowers, who only wants to help people. But will she have enough of an effect on the world to stave off disaster? Only time will tell. NOTE: Hope is an original character, created using the GURPS RPG.

Sisters are orphaned, split at birth. One's a thief, the other a conwoman. There's paintings, diamond heists, forgotten identities, and an evil corporation. There's also a slow burn romance, which isn't the best when it's with your long-lost sister you never knew you had. So, accidental icest. Eventual Elsanna. Also a mAU, with electro/techno powers.

The orders sounded simple; investigate an unexplored world. Instead, Nanoha, Fate and the crew of the Arthra get far more than they ever bargained for. With more questions than answers surrounding them and a mysterious survivor helping them, they all have a difficult task: First Contact with an alien race.

When the TSAB discovers the Wizarding World, Nanoha and Fate are sent to investigate. What will they learn about the HP universe and about themselves as they attend Hogwarts? Set during Order of The Phoenix. NanoFate. Reviews greatly appreciated.

You know that one gamer, the one who breaks into every house and turns the place inside-out in their search for loot? That adventurer who slaughters everything in their path for XP? What if the events of Worm were a group of friends simply playing a pen & paper RPG? What if the protagonist could best be described as one such adventurer? Rated T for language.

[Prequel to The Senshi Files: Silver Warden] It was supposed to be a simple job - find a kid's family. Of course, the kid had to be from Japan, one of two plane crash survivors, and the only lead was the other survivor of the plane crash. Poor Harry; he should know by now that when he's involved, things are only gonna get tougher and a bit more...supernatural.

The smallest act or difference can be all that is needed to change the future. Now Diebuster!Taylor stands to make more than small or simple changes for the future of mankind.

Aincrad is definitely a place where only the strongest can survive. But what happens when a parahuman whose strength is only available IRL and not online joins this Death Game ?

Tenryuu disagrees with the Admiral's careful handling of her recovery, so he decides to change her perspective on things.

During her time in the locker, Taylor focuses on survival above all else. Now, blessed (or perhaps cursed) with an ability that will ensure her survival at all cost, Taylor finds herself caught between her ideals and reality. A hero or a monster - who is Taylor Hebert? ON HIATUS UPDATE: Just a note, but anonymous reviews will be deleted. The inability to respond is a problem.

Louise the Zero. A failure even at summoning a familiar. But now she has a second chance, access to power beyond the Void. Soon a new day shall dawn on Halkeginia, its light green and terrible and beautiful. They don't know what's going to hit them. Book I in the Verdigris and Flame Sequence.

One of Alice's lifelong goals is fulfilled when a Shanghai doll works its way up to sentience. But how exactly does one raise a doll? And are two teenage magicians really ready for parenthood? [Update Feb. 11 2014 - added epilogue]

In some worlds, Taylor is a hero. In others, a villain. And sometimes, however rarely, she walks the lines betwixt and between.

Kal'Reegar vas Rayya: Quarian Migrant Fleet Marine. Chosen of Journeys. Autochthon: The God of the Forge and eccentric inventor. Following the resolution of the first phase of the Reaper War, the Titan-cum-God has realized he can fix the Great Curse. But he needs the tools he made- the ones he left in Creation.

Upon discovery that the bully who had been tormenting her is the hero Shadow Stalker Taylor became disillusioned of the world of Capes before actually entering it. Willing to give one last chance to humanity and the system she goes to the heart of the PRT with a single plea.

The Exaltation of the Unconquered Sun is a tricky thing. Especially when it doesn't come with an manual. Jane Shepard, who was able to talk Spectres into suicide before getting a spiritual superweapon grafted to her soul, has a new advantage.

It was a small wish. To summon a powerful familiar to show the world she was not a zero. It was not a familiar she summoned, but her mentor. The unexpected encounter would change her fate, and her world forever.

Harry Dresden would honestly have been happier if that Takamachi woman had never walked into his office and asked for his help. But, well, she did, and it's technically not her fault that they're BOTH running for their lives now...Rewrite of On The Run.

Young Harry Dresden meets an Outsider and suffers a fate worse than insanity… a self–proclaimed girlfriend! Abnormal, Unspeakable, Blasphemous, Ominous, Chaotic, Romance Crack.

In Which The Bad Guys Are So Screwed. There is a dimensional crisis brewing and only Batman can stop it. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And Batman. And... you get the idea. CRACK!

What if Selvaria had realized that Maximilian did not care for her, and joined Gallia after being convinced by Squad 7 and a certain imperial tank commander? Will she be able to fight against the man she once loved, or will her emotions prevent her?

On a routine patrol mission, the Atlasia of the TSAB Navy discovers a small frequently encountered dimensional flux is not all it seems. Section Three is reunited once again to investigate - but what will they find in the Fantasia?

A vacant lot. A half-dead girl. Two mercenaries on their night out. Life gets very strange from there on out... possibly the most unlikely TF2 crossover imaginable. In-progress, updating slowly. Chapter three up.
