Fic Update thread 52 (the _really_ secret stuff)

[classicdrogn]

New chapter of Napalm222's Agent x Family, finally exploring Taylor's alt-power in depth, plus some minor food porn (Artistic Tea Engravings? Something like that...) and an action sequence as well.

Maybe don't let that cafe erotica tempt you into indulging if you have a sensitive constitution, okay? Taylor's getting hit square on by the trauma hammer.

Commentary

I think the level of violence is appropriate to and in service of the plot, precisely because this part is through Taylor's eyes, and she's tough and resilient for a teen who's never been exposed to that kind of thing but still deeply affected by it, and being linked up with Will and Mack only makes it more personal, tasting the blood as Mack rips out a man's throat, feeling it as Will tears Alabaster's skull open and pulps his supertumors brain and all, on top of having actually pulled the trigger to shoot a guy herself even if she was letting Will reverse-Master her through the link at the time. This one's a little heavy, even compared to Will's battles on duty before.
