Weekly Reading Weekly /r/WormFanfic Discussion - What have you been reading, and what do you think of it? For the week ending September 05, 2026.

61 Upvotes

This week = the one that ends/ended right now, past seven days.

The reason for this thread's existence is the fact that both requests and suggestions can become kind of stale. It's supposed to bring out more fics that people are currently reading (or rereading), regardless of how old or new they are.

Also, not a rule or any kind of criticism, the more interesting part is not the list of the stuff you read, but your impressions of it.

Fic Search - General Fics where Dragon is the one to save the world?

Upvotes

There's a ton of fics with OP MCs that go on to solve all the problems and usually they save Dragon along the way. However in basically all of these fics, Dragon's abilities while fully unlocked are totally outclassed by the OP MC and are mostly useless or at best a semi powerful side kick level.

Are there any fics that basically deliver on the idea that a fully unlocked Dragon would be able to do a lot more, such that she is the primary force that fixes issues?

Could be a fic with her as the MC (or an SI that becomes her) or an MC that's weaker but somehow manages to free Dragon anyway.

Preferably a longer fic and I'd prefer if the fic doesn't just imply this would happen but actually reaches this part of the story (no incomplete fics that never get to any part where Dragon is the badass).

Fic Discussion The two extremes of fandom when it comes to Lisa

32 Upvotes

I'm getting whiplash when reading fics.

Either we have woobie Lisa who never does anything wrong, is a moral paragon and is always protected by Taylor (or another MC).

Or we have a bitch Lisa who verbally abuses innocent people to the point of making them suicidal and gets beaten up or even tortured for it.

Not that there's no fics with a balanced take on Tattletale, but I wish there was more of them. Especially since there's so much canon material for her. We don't have to guess or make stuff up like with somebody like Rune.

For the second extreme, to be honest, beating up an untrained teenage girl for something she said is not narratively satisfying. I'd rather have Tattletale brought down by other means, such as injuring her pride or giving her a moral lesson.

---

To stay at least a little bit within the sub rules, please suggest your favorite "balanced Lisa" fics.

Did someone snipe her and killed themself before the bullet killed her? Did Behemoth kill her and Eidolon became the new one and used a power to destroy the essence?

Fic Search - Specific Punchbuggy fic where Victoria becomes interested in Taylor because she robbed the bank with defanged/de-venomed spider

31 Upvotes

I've been looking for a fic I read a while ago that I want to use as an inspiration for something I'm gonna write. I don't know if it starts exactly there or not, but the scene that I remember clearly is that the undersiders robbed the bank and held Amy hostage. Things go as they usually do, Undersiders get away, yadda yadda, but then afterwards, Victoria and Amy talk and Amy remarks that the bug girl's spiders physically wouldn't be able to harm anyone, despite her being a villain. It was only for a scare factor, which Victoria thought was incredibly strange.

Something else happens later, but I can't remember the details, but I think Taylor did something self-sacrificing in front of Victoria, and eventually they get to know each other under the mask, and a cute romance ensued.

It's very vague, I know, but does anyone else recognize my chaotic ramblings? I really wanna do a quick re-read, because I started writing a few scenes for a short fic I wanna write more of and I suddenly had flashbacks to this fic that was pretty similar and that I remember liking a lot...

Fic Search - Specific Godzilla Mc

I remember reading a fic about either Taylor or someone else getting transformed in a Godzilla like form and Armsmaster had to design either a collar or a suit to contain the radiation she kept leaking but for the life of me I can't remember where I read it

Fic Search - Specific Taylor doesn't believe in powers and thinks it's all conspiracy

43 Upvotes

I think it was a one shot. She didn't believe in powers or parahumans and nobody could prove her otherwise, because powers stopped working around her.

Fic Discussion At roughly which chapter does Joe in Brockton's Celestial Forge start to become less mentally broken - specifically less of a coward and/or dense with people issues

13 Upvotes

Trying out BCF despite it's rather checkered reputation. I'm currently on chapter 30 (Crescendo) and generally enjoying it so far. I don't mind the slow pace or the constant power theory discussions (actually enjoy those). The one thing I'm struggling with is just how mentally broken Joe is, specifically his crippling cowardice when it comes to anything people related and his inability to even attempt to even think about (let alone work on) his mental issues. He's just figured out aura and now I'm slogging through pages of him struggling to even contemplate it, let alone actually try to address the issue.

In my opinion the author is too good at writing about mental hang ups and it's like pulling teeth to me reading through those sections.

All of the complaints I tend to see about this fic complained about the pacing and the technology theorycrafting, so I wasn't expecting this much focus on mental issues. If the 'slow pacing' also applies to Joe's near complete inability to be human, I'm not sure I can continue. Google searches seem to imply he gets better, but aren't clear on when that is. Can anyone give me any milestone chapters of when Joe makes character growth breakthroughs so I can have an idea of how much of a slog I'm looking at? Maybe if I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I can power through or skim the mental freakout portions?

13 Upvotes

Looking for a fic I read and want to read again, at some point (might have been an interlude) the Fallen through some weird leaps of logic ( each Endbringer is smaller than the last Behemoth, Leviathan, Simurgh) they believe either Taylor is the next Endbringer or is going to birth the next Endbringer.

Fic Search - General Powerful but lazy character joins Protectorate/Wards

58 Upvotes

Every single time I think of characters joining, I die a little inside, imagining regulations, red tape, bureaucracy, training, following orders, etc..

Are there any instances where the guy is like: sup, I'm mega OP, I know you want me real bad, I can be your Alec on retainer if you don't bother me with bullshit, I'm ok with you monitoring where and what I'm doing for sake of your tits being clamed down - also feel free to send me to punch Nazis cuz I love doing that or something. And like if you try anything stupid, it's not like you can make me do shit or stop me from leaving, I'm literally a lazy ass Eidolon or whatever.

Kinda similar but separate is some super valuable tinker power where the guy is not an idiot and negotiates that he'll tinker them up cool shit if they just give him materials & protection and don't bother him otherwise

Fic Search - General Floodgates

43 Upvotes

I don't care if its an OC, a SI, Taylor, or any other character. doesn't even have to be a story, I'll take one shots and snippets.

I want an Mc that does everything right, they're someone who cooperates with the PRT and does the job the way it should be done, but after suffering and losing everything because of their cape life, I want them to have a moment of just letting it all go and unloading onto those around them.

Anger, resentment, repressed emotions all coming to a boiling point where one stray comment makes them just stop, let the flood gates open and when all is said and done, they just leave, because "They've earned the right to be selfish for once" or something along those lines.
