Worm Fanfic Recs
No rankings at play here, just my favorite fics that I think other are really good. There are fics I like that aren't listed because I have a bad memory, but everything here is something I really really enjoyed. I have biases obviously, this isn't objective.
The Fics
Our Private Crises - A nailbiting murder mystery with unique and well done POVs from a different character each chapter. The mystery and reveal at the end were stellar, and it got me attached to characters I never thought I'd care for. 29k words. Complete.
It's Cold Out There Every Day - Missy is trapped in a time loop on her birthday. Genuinely stellar characterization, it has the best Missy and Aisha I've ever read and its such a creative and well executed premise. 41k words. Complete.
Tilt - Unpowered homeless girl Taylor fakes a thinker power to get in the Wards and secure housing. She's even more self destructive and self deprecating than in canon. 10/10 characterization for a slew of POV characters including Taylor, every ward but especially Sophia, Rachel, Lisa, and a ton of other characters. Despite not going through all of what canon Taylor went through, this fic nails her character better than pretty much any others. 220k words at time of posting. Updating consistently.
Tear Apart, Stitch Together - Taylor triggers with Shatterbird's power and kills thousands. Short and sweet, everything that's there is great and it wraps up well I think. 13k words. Complete
Memories of a Simurgh Victim - The Simurgh attacks Brockton Bay. Has two storylines, one following Taylor and one following Amy and Vicky. Among the most fucked up things this fandom has to offer, a terrifying showcase of the Simurgh and her power. 62k words. Taylor's story is incomplete but the Amy and Victoria story is done.
Desperate Times Call For Desperate Pleasures - Cherish altpower Taylor tries to consensually fix Amy's incest fetish. A trainwreck I can't look away from, the worlds first psychological horror romcom. It's so fucked up and so amazingly funny, and has good well written characters. I don't like Pillbug and I'm not a big fan of altpowers, but this fic is still one of my favorites because it's so damn compelling so definitely check it out if you actually like either of those things. 211k words at time of posting. Updating consistently.
Roots - The Slaughterhouse Nine attack a small town with a roster of OC capes, but something is very off about the place. POV shifts every chapter, and the OCs are interesting and unique. The S9 are also wonderfully characterized here, I've never had a fic make me sad for Crawler of all people. 67k words at time of posting. Ongoing. Criminally underrated.
Roma Fade - Ciara and Fortuna both try to grow past who they were as capes and find themselves as people in a small town post Gold Morning, having found common ground posing as moms to a recovering Taylor. I'm sure fake dating would never end in real attraction, that would be absurd. Incredibly gay, incredible characterization for everyone, the best post-GM fic around in my opinion. 87k words at time of posting. Ongoing but currently on hiatus.
Case - Lisa and the Simurgh start a detective agency. It's just great humor and a lovely story and wonderful despite being short and deceased. 14k words. Dead.
Silence is not Consent - Taylor intervenes and saves Victoria from Amy and gives her a place to stay, Victoria massively struggles dealing with what happened. Amazing characterization, Victoria's POV is unique and incredibly well done, and her seeing Taylor from an outside perspective is interesting. Be warned that this is a very heavy fic emotionally, but it's really fucking good. 212k words at time of posting. Updating consistently.
A Word - Altpower Taylor is obsessed with writing a story. I don''t know how to describe this fic honestly it's hard to do justice, but it has perhaps the best conclusion to Gold Morning I've seen in a fanfic. 11k words. Complete.
Scarab - A fantasy AU where powers are thought to be magic, and the Faerie Queen takes an interest in Taylor. Filled to the brim with creativity and passion, this fic is teeming with fresh ideas and interesting depictions of canon characters. The worldbuilding is great as well, no other fic on this list has a map, so this is clearly a cut above the rest. 139k words at time of posting. Updating consistently.
Swallowtail - Ok I lied this one has a map too. Taylor with an incredibly interesting stranger power joins Faultline's crew. There is a truly astounding amount of AU elements and alternate powers for canon characters, it feels like a new world while still being recognizable and distinctly Worm. Has a large amount of alternate POVs and the first arc can be rough, but it's creative and amazing. 360k words. Ongoing but currently on haitus.
Soliloquy - Ex-Slaughterhouse 9 Taylor is in prison, bitter at the world and herself and especially her clone who saved the multiverse. A heavy fic about someone slowly recovering and becoming a better person when they're convinced it can't be done. Made me cry. 71k words. Complete.
TWNY - Post-GM Taylor finds herself in the world of RWBY with a pair of moth antennae. Multiple POVs, all very interesting despite me knowing nothing of RWBY. Probably the best characterization of Taylor in any post-GM crossover fic, she's heartbreaking in the recent arc, and it feels like the fic has barely scratched the surface of what it'll eventually cover. Also it's very gay. 136k words. Ongoing.
The Great Escape - Eidolon is struggling after his reputation is destroyed and Cauldron is revealed, and then the Birdcage opens. Amazing use of seldom seen characters, great POV with Eidolon, well done and interesting fights, has String Theory. 107k words. Ongoing but currently on haitus.
Happiness Is Inevitable - NSFW. The only damn erotic mind control Simurgh smut in the fandom somehow. Besides the porn (which is a lot of the fic, who woulda thunk it) the story itself is actually pretty interesting and has a lot of creative parts, and it has better characterization than most fics. 29k words. Ongoing?
Oneshots
Break me so that I can be whole - This accursed fandom is tragically bereft of QA / Taylor fics, but this one shot is great, love an eldritch take on shards. Probably fucked up but I'm not actually a good judge of that so be warned. 1.8k words.
Book Worm - Dragon helps teach Taylor how to read and speak and understand language post-GM. Bittersweet and lovely. 2.5k words.
Defiant Didn't Dox Saint For Nothing! - Taylor goes back in time and the first thing she does is kill Saint because he sucks. Cracky but I like it, fun little oneshot. 1.6k words.
Ruling Ash - Glory Girl flees Brockton Bay during the Slaughterhouse Nine and ends up living with Damsel of Distress. Cute, and Starsong before Ward is very interesting. 2.8k words.
My Sunshine - Leviathan goes worse and Brockton Bay is destroyed. Taylor and Victoria survive. Very somber, but well executed. 3.4k words.
Cherry on Top - A character study of Cherie Vasil, showing how she went from running away from Heartbreaker to joining the Nine. Extremely well written, absolutely incredible depiction of her character. It depicts abuse and actions typical of Heartbreaker and Cherie, so be careful reading. It's a lot emotionally. 12.7k words.
Devil in a New Dress - NSFW. Shatterbird / Reader, I'm not explaining myself on this one. Neat Shatterbird characterization, hot, pretty fucked up so be warned. 1.7k words.

clem is such an interesting character and so different from what i usually see in IFs like I've yet to see an RO who is scared of everything? in a world of girlbosses and mansplainers we need the clems
thank you!
i'm glad that they feel different :-) when i started tnp, a lot of romance stories, especially fantasy or supernatural, tended to put the mc in Clementine's role. there are exceptions now, of course, i'm not trying to make a broad statement, especially since within IF that's actually something that's changed a lot over the years, but i definitely wanted the mc in tnp to be the competent, protective, "mysterious stranger" type, which is an archetype that used to (typically) go exclusively to love interests.
which means that we get to have poor little meow meows like Clementine as our love interests, instead :-) i also really like having Clem as a bit of balance, because they're life has been so different from everyone else's - Merry is a career criminal, and we've seen that she has no hesitation getting nasty and violent, while Noel, Lea, and the hunter have all been entrenched in the Order for their entire lives, with all of them also being very familiar with violence and comfortable with it or at the very least indifferent towards it.
even though Clementine is running from something, and is just as much as a fugitive as Noel, compared to the others, they really are the "normal" one, who just had their life upturned by running into a group of hardened fighters and criminals. or at least, upturned in a different way than it already was.... we'll get to see their reaction in the second half of chapter 2, but Clementine deals with what happened in Blackwater very differently than everyone else, because it's not like something they've ever really experienced before.

hadnt used quizlet for years, downloaded it again for vocab lessons someone in class created, saw they have a premium version of the app now and soon after realized that you require the premium version if you want to study a set/lesson more than once. everything has turned into a money milking scheme i hate this

on the off chance anyone on here followed me for my jonmartin fake dating au, currently standing tragically unfinished at 7 out of 8 chapters: i'm still working on the last chapter! i would love to have it up this year, but unfortunately i can't make any promises, because i've started a new medication and the side effects are wreaking havoc on my mind and body. haha isn't chronic illness fun. but rest assured the fic is the beating heart under my floorboards, and i WILL finish it one day

I remember scrolling through your page and seeing an ask where someone claimed they’d sell their soul to satan for a snippet, and I can’t help but relate…any new snippets for Tideswept👀 that last one was super juicy
That Satan is really getting his money’s worth off my writing! Meanwhile, I’m just delighted someone wants a snippet<3 This fic was going to be my New Year’s Eve update, but unfortunately it’s not quite ready, and since I don’t want to rush it just to post it on the day, it will be a new year update instead. But in the meantime, have another snippet!
(Follows the last one, just in case there was any fear I’d leave you hanging this chapter, communication-wise ;))
He looked so surprised to see her, if she hadn’t been so nervous, Makino thought she might have found it more gratifying.
Taking off his glasses, “What are you doing here?” Shanks asked, before he froze, as he seemed to get a proper look at her, his wide eyes raking across her, and she saw the moment he recognised the oversized coat she’d pulled over her nightgown, and didn’t seem to know which detail to focus on, before he finally settled for an incredulous, “Did you walk here by yourself?”
She couldn’t tell if he sounded more shocked or angry, but then wondered if even he knew. But at least the answer to that was explained by her presence; as for his first question, that was slightly trickier, but while she wasn’t rightly sure what she was doing, before she could lose her courage, Makino let it take her.
Shrugging off his heavy coat, it fell to the planks around her ankles, before she toed off her boots, and his eyes widened when she reached for the ribbons holding the nightgown closed.
“What are you doing?” Shanks rasped, taking a step towards her. “Stop.”
She didn’t, the lowest ribbon coming loose, before she reached for the one above it, and his voice scraped from him, firmer now as, “Stop,” Shanks said. “Makino!”
But she didn’t stop, the second ribbon yielding, and the third, but as she reached for the last, a big hand seized hers, stopping her.
Her eyes shot up to his, sharpened steel under his scars now. She could feel her heart pounding in her breast, but didn’t look away, and this time it was pain that roughened his voice as Shanks asked her, “What are you doing?”
Holding his eyes, she didn’t care that her voice wavered. Her heart was steady. “What does it look like I’m doing?”
Shanks didn’t answer, but then in that moment Makino wondered if he could have managed.
His hand hadn’t released hers. Makino felt how it shook, the veins in the back pronounced, and thin silver scars covering his fingers. The intimate candlelight deepened his colours, the red of his hair and the dark scruff of his beard. It danced over her skin, flushed under her freckles where the nightgown hung open, held together by the remaining ribbon between her breasts.
His eyes searched hers, as though trying to root out the reason for her behaviour from them. Makino only met them, her battle strategy offered and her armour shucked. But then with all the advice she’d been given, to go to war, to think like a swordsman, she’d failed to account for herself. And so here she was, not as a queen or a warrior, but as the person she’d always been, since long before the Fates had bound their threads.
Taking his hand, she coaxed it to loosen its grip, cradling it between hers. And if she had carried a weapon, it would have been across the palms of her hands, lifted in offering.
“Shanks,” Makino said. Not my king. Not even Captain.
She felt him tense as she brought his hand to her waist, the broad span of his fingers covering it easily, a shock of warmth through the sheer fabric of the nightgown. The tendons under her hands were taut, the spread of his fingers bunching in the fabric, but he didn’t pull it away.
Eyes like grey steel bore into hers as she lifted them from their hands, her smaller one spread over his. It barely covered his knuckles.
“Why are you here, my girl?” Shanks asked her, the deep pitch of his voice on the verge of breaking.
Makino met his gaze calmly. Her voice when she spoke was gentle, not a shiver in it now. “I’m here for my husband.”
Something passed through his eyes, a flash of feeling, there before it was gone.
The broad hand under hers lifted from her waist, but just as she thought he’d pull away, Shanks raised it to her cheek, brushing away her hair where it tumbled around her shoulders.
She watched as his eyes lowered, hooded under his scars as he took her in, the way he had on their wedding night. He towered above her, but this time she met his observation without cowering, her chin lifted and her own eyes gentle.
A crooked knuckle brushed the peak of her breast through the nightgown, her breath catching as she shivered, and saw his hand where it paused.
“You’re nervous,” Shanks said, and she wondered what he’d expected her to say to that, because it wasn’t the huff that left her.
“Of course I’m nervous,” Makino snapped. “I’ve never done this before!” And before he could catch up, said, with every ounce of prim defiance she possessed, “That doesn’t mean I don’t want to.”
She was running at the mouth now, but then in terms of battle strategies, she hadn’t planned further than stripping off her nightgown, and since that hadn’t worked, plain speech would have to do.
“I want this,” she said, and heard how her voice wavered now, her tears spilling over, but didn’t stop. “You. I’ve been trying to make it clear, but short of bringing an accompanying chorus, I don’t know what I have to d―”
His mouth caught hers, seizing the words and her breath in a kiss so fierce it lifted her toes off the planks, a big hand reaching to cradle the back of her head, pulling her close, and her relief was so fierce she might have sobbed.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe screengrabs
‼️ SPOILER WARNING ‼️
Alright so the first few are just from replaying all the stuff that was in the HD Remix, just to see some of the texture differences, but I also took some screengrabs just because they’re fun!
Tumblr media
I’m so glad this one made it in lol (he is)
Tumblr media
I got the paper office! :D
Tumblr media
And the whiteboard ending!! Yes!!! Dog mode is terrible though haha ♪
Tumblr media
Spamtoncore
Tumblr media
This was new! I knew about the Bucket but I hadn’t met them yet so I was just like Hmmm Hmmm Interesting haha
Tumblr media
Fall through the floor Part 2 - luckily this was the last one of the initial play session! Still though, load your rooms pls
Alright from here it’s all Ultra Deluxe so watch out!
Tumblr media
I want this. Sadge that it’s sold out </3
Tumblr media
I just got this one! :D
Tumblr media
They!!! So tiny <3 It’s nice to see Mariella’s model as well, I’ve seen Stanley’s a few times but never Mariella from the front!
Tumblr media
Just played with this one too, the grandfather <3
Tumblr media
Who is this!!! They’re so cute what!!!
Tumblr media
This image is probably especially funny to me because it reminds me of a meme I made lol
Tumblr media
Hi Stanley, Hi Stanley, haha ♪
Tumblr media
There he is. The Narrator turned him into a marketable figure
Tumblr media
Very cursed Stanley smile :) He deserves it
Tumblr media
Me
Tumblr media
See, this dark, infinite abyss makes sense! It all ties together! Brilliance in writing! Lol
Tumblr media
My previous point (also implying that Stanley is normal, really, Narrator, you should know better by now)
Tumblr media
I appreciate the serial code(?) nameplate lol - this whole section was too strange haha
Tumblr media
*heavy breathing* I mean literally what more could I ask for (I did also like the Stanley Parable concept art though haha, and the pause button stuff)
Tumblr media
I gotta be honest, I was not sold on this bucket at first, but after this-
Tumblr media
EEE, even better!! Yes, I’m onboard on the bucket now, I love Bucket
Tumblr media
There is an awful lot of Bucket death in this game huh. Like, Stanley dies a lot too, but we don’t get to see that usually, so it’s oddly visceral
Tumblr media
Employee 416 you say 👀 So there was somebody in there initially, until they were moved...? (I like to imagine they also drew the little Stanlurine doodle on the whiteboard lol)
Tumblr media
I forgot that this was flagged by the phone call lol, I wonder if anybody has actually counted them
That’s all for this playthrough! If I fall through the floor again, I’ll try to catch it!
#The Stanley Parable#The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe#WPTSP#Blood#There will also be spoilers in the tags so be warned! Haha#Don't mind the weird cropping on some of these I was trying to work around my little Windows watermark as best I could#At least before I remembered/paid attention to how to screenshot using the Steam overlay anyhow lol#The Bucket did not fare so well ah well it's charming enough on its own merit lol#I had a lot of fun little happenings that don't really communicate in screenshots ah#Like playing the 2: Escape Pod and 2: Mariella endings back to back (with an interstitial waiting period for the Bucket lol)#Being called a dork (<3) and a dolt (<3 <3) by the Narrator (<3 <3 <3)#And the updated Games ending for this version! Ah!! He's so bratty!! What a delight#And the differences in ''endings'' down the vent if you bring Bucket or not and the Narrator ''disproving'' some fanon#Tbf I don't think most people actually thought he was like Just a recording but rather the aesthetic of him literally Being a cassette deck#Like the monitor head! It's all good! All of it!! He's a strong aesthetic man <3#Also saw?? Alex Hirsch in the credits sorry?? Was he the cassette man voice or? I don't know where else he might've been#And the Curator was mean in 2: Museum!! Bucket really brings out the worst in people ♪#I can't tell if it's just because I was losing steam by that point but the only one I was kinda meh on was 2: Real Person#Retrofitting one of the best endings is always a tall task tho :P And I still prefer the HD Remix's version of the Real Person ending anyhow#Even the glitching was a little lackluster :0 The timing was a little off#But :) I still have the HD Remix if I ever want to experience it my favourite way hehe ♪ The more the merrier!#Now for some stress tests >:3c Gonna go back in and see just how many ways I can mess up the game ♪♫#WPVG

if i have any recommendations for people it's be careful on stairs. do not carry both an oatmeal bowl and a coffee cup in your hands while going down stairs. and do not prioritize said bowl and cup when you start eating shit on those stairs, because your ankle will go the wrong direction and will, in the words of ER technicians, "break all three parts of the tripod that is your ankle".
first time in my life i've had surgery for something that isn't wisdom teeth and the first time i've had staples and then staples removed. i still cannot walk.
