So... I've just finished reading the extant material in a Worm AU called A Darker Path. (I've been reading the copy posted on Sufficient Velocity, but I am given to understand that it's also at SpaceBattles, Fanfiction.net and QQ.) While incomplete, it's still very active, with a new chapter being posted every few weeks. Basic gist of the story: Instead of Queen Administrator, Taylor's trigger instead nets her a "spoilsport" shard tossed into the Earth Bet mix by a third party -- and that shard is Path To Ending. In short, if it can die, she can end it -- and it's not just limited to killing living things. She can end legacies, reputations, economic conditions and more... but she hits the scene like a bomb when she simply appears, kills Oni Lee, and tells the supervillains of Brockton Bay that they are going to surrender to the PRT, leave the city... or die.
I don't want to say more because spoilers, but there are some unmitigated moments of pure awesome (and more than a few awful puns).
Highly recommended.
