Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Considering that Assault was able to casually join the heroes despite having a career of breaking people out of birdcage transports, and even demand to be on the same team as Battery, I don't think we need to assume too many misunderstandings regarding Shadow Stalker.
Ooh, I will also post a list of completed worm fics that I thought were ok. I actually think this fic might be favorite completed one though.
A Cape in Konoha (Worm/Naruto AU)
A Wand for Skitter (Worm/HP)
A Word
Charity Begins at Home
East of Eden: A New Twist on an Old Cycle...
Why would Contessa bother? She and Doctor Mother have no reason to care about Earth Bet in particular, and probably would just retire to a beach in some world with no parahumans now that the multiversal threat is seemingly gone.
Personally I never understood the free will vs determinism debate. If your actions aren't predictable, then they must be based on something other than who you are. Randomness is much more of a threat to some idea of free will than determinism in my opinion.
I agree that it makes sense for the...
Thanks for the story, enjoyed it a lot.
Interesting that Scion didn't need a coordinated psychological attack to put him in a suicidal state, since he was set off in a very different way than canon.
Does Aisha ever get her arm fixed?
Taylor didn't consider that all the AI security literature she read might be applicable in this scenario huh?
I wonder if anyone we know had their heads popped.
I bet the story is nearing its end now that we are on arc 'Z' presumably for Zion. I'll be sad when it ends, a good story that updates regularly like this is so rare.
I assume that Taylor won't betray humanity and become an Entity or something, since that vision she had under Newter's power...
The Simurgh has it figured out. Forget those supernova broadcasts the entities use, finger guns are the true highest form of communication.
Well when I paste what she is saying elsewhere I get a face with a smirk, but it looks like finger guns on my screen because the middle character is the...
Contessa seems to know, but doesn't want Alexandria to figure it out. Maybe she told Doctor Mother, maybe not.
Unless Taylor is actually a thinker blind spot or something and Contessa's communication skills are so bad that she actually meant to convey that with her shrug.
It's already confirmed that Blasto's fate won't be revealed because that would reveal whether or not Clone Taylor's interlude is canon. And Bonesaw doing S9000 style stuff would confirm that Blasto was alive for her to use, meaning that the S9000 arc can't happen in this story.
Unless the...
I bet Taylor breaks Marquis out to fulfill Amy's soul price, which would then fulfill Marquis' soul price.
I am impatient for the eventual reveal that all of Taylor's identities are the same person. Perhaps breaking out of the Birdcage will be the catalyst that lets people piece things...
Even in an AU story I read called Divided where are all parahumans got killed or imprisoned by normals using a more powerful Dragon, the Teeth were the one exception marauding around because there simply wasn't any way to deal with the Butcher.
I find it somewhat annoying how things are getting skipped over and leaving us to guess. Why not include what Taylor thinks about this? Does she have a method to avoid the voices, to counter the insanity, or does she just not care?
Taylor was running a territory in Brockton Bay as Esper. She had fake identities doing various roles because she doesn't trust people. Those identities were indeed government employees.
Looks like Quicksilver has been somehow outed as a power copier. Maybe the regen power she got from Lizardtail automatically resets her to Taylor's original body and she got outed?
