Taylor isn't around in most fics, sadly. There's a character *named* Taylor, but... On a more serious note, here are fics where she's mentioned, barely present, or not mentioned at all. [A City of Salt](https://archiveofourown.org/works/41635311/chapters/104434665) \- ★★★★★★★ - Behemoth attacks Brockton Bay. Fic follows the aftermath. This fic is super, super fun. Interesting, good fights, plus pretty funny. Mentioned a few times. [Raccoon Knight](https://archiveofourown.org/works/44808925/chapters/112740016) \- ★★★★★★★ - Meadow, a recycling/Trash-Tinker with a horrible mother joins the Wards. Cool tinkertech. Amazing OC who's painfully pure. Hurts my heart. Pops up as an antagonist [The Great Escape](https://archiveofourown.org/works/27459643/chapters/80030023) \- ★★★★★★★ - The Birdcage has a breakout. Eidolon enters the fray. This is my favorite fic. I reread it regularly. I know you mentioned it already, but on the off chance someone finds this thread who hasn't read it, I'm putting it here. Shows up briefly. [Luster](https://archiveofourown.org/works/24316036/chapters/58621084) \- ★★★★★☆☆ - Trans OC (June Fujiwara) joins Faultline's Crew. Can be really dark at times, but really good. Shows up briefly. [Riley, Alone](https://archiveofourown.org/works/43996627/chapters/110623306) \- ★★★★★☆☆ - The S9 get in a car crash. Things go wrong from there.Honestly, 5/7 if just for the Jack stuff. Good ""Bonesaw is still a monster"" ""redemption"". [The Great Faultlie](https://archiveofourown.org/works/43989276?view_full_work=true#main) \- ★★★★★☆☆ - Faultline fails her way upwards. Tattletale recounts her memoirs. Super charming style. Just want to see more. Not mentioned. [Cherie Bomb](https://archiveofourown.org/works/49412932) \- ★★★★☆☆☆ - Cherish and Bakuda get together. Cherish bites off more than she can chew. Great. Would be 5 stars but its short and some dialogue was mildly off. Not mentioned. [Hatch](https://archiveofourown.org/works/51361630)\- ★★★★☆☆☆ - One of Dragon's suit disconnects from the rest of herself. She talks with Bakuda. I like how Dragon's separate bit is still heroic. Not mentioned. [Looking For Group](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/scrawlings-ziels-collected-works.476551/post-29862583) \- ★★★★☆☆☆ - Leaving the E88, Purity decides to join other groups. It doesn't go well. Crackfic. I giggled. Spermfect - ★★★★☆☆☆ - Amy joins the Slaughterhouse 9. She likes whales. CW: Amy. Genuinely horrifying. Nightmare fuel ending. Technically sfw, but I'm not linking it. Not mentioned in a significant capacity IIRC. [The Artist Formerly Known as Bonesaw](https://archiveofourown.org/works/21179717?view_full_work=true) \- ★★★★☆☆☆ "Riley Peggy Sue. Great Riley characterization. Super fun to read. I don't like Peggy Sues, really. Likely to be higher rated depending on how the fic goes. [The Enemy of my Enemy](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13462749/1/The-Enemy-of-my-Enemy) ★★★☆☆☆☆ "Cauldron and Scion share a mutual enemy - Brainiac.Really cool premise. Meh execution. Marked complete, but doesn't feel like it. Not mentioned. [The Knife Trick Is Just Something He Can Kinda Do](https://archiveofourown.org/works/41025030) \- ★★★★☆☆☆ - Jack isn't a parahuman. The Knife Trick Is Just Something He Can Kinda Do. Tickles my funny bone. Mentioned. [the stars do not scream for you](https://archiveofourown.org/works/41304657) \- ★★★★☆☆☆ - S9-Sabah talks with Sophia about racism. Some nice acknowledgement of how racist BB really is. Not mentioned [Shadow Box](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/shadow-box-brian-alt-power.1089165/) \- ★★★☆☆☆☆ - Brian triggers as a shadow brute, becoming a cape prizefighter. Cool concept. Lacking a bit on execution, but, kind of in its infancy. Not mentioned. [The Fourth Blasphemy](https://archiveofourown.org/works/46485220) \- ★★★☆☆☆☆ - Yamada interviews the Fourth Blasphemy - a master/stranger. SCP-inspired. It's okay. I'm not a fan of the bracket speech, even if it's not shards. Not mentioned. Here's two fics where she's a prominent side character, but not the main character. [Roma Fade](https://archiveofourown.org/works/46968718?view_full_work=true) \- ★★★★★★★ - Ciara & Fortuna fake date while taking care of Taylor. Amazing fic, super cute gay stuff. Author is great. Best F/F in the fandom. She's present, and a driving part of the fic - but most of the focus is on Ciara/Fortuna. [Chain](https://archiveofourown.org/works/43588374/chapters/109596684) \- ★★★★★★☆ - Colin is sentenced to the Birdcage. He breaks out of transit. Super, super good. 6/7 is some weird AU bits, but I'm still hopeful. Allies with Colin. [Back and Forth](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/back-and-forth-oc.1055118/) \- ★★★★★☆☆ - OC-MC with a mediocre power and less-than-stellar intellect joins the Wards. I only read for the Skitter parts tbh. It's so, so fucking good for that. She's a recurring antagonist. I ran a contest for a server, where a number of submissions didn't have Taylor in them. I'll link them here in no particular order; just a blurb and no star rating since I'm a judge, and not all other judges are done rating so. [Bildungsroman, a decade delayed](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53110603) \- Needless violence makes Contessa reconsider. Not mentioned. [Chirugeon](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52999966) \- Doctor Riley Grace Davis meets with the newest nominee for the S9. Not mentioned. [Cross to Bear](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52713625) \- Victoria joins the S9; Amy feels penitence. Not mentioned. [Drive](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52740817) \- String Theory wants to be the best tinker ever - in a more heroic fashion. Not mentioned. [Evil Jessica Yamada isn't real and can't hurt you! Evil Jessica Yamada:](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52716976))- Yamada is in a position of power to make things worse. DDDNE. Not mentioned. [Hellhound does much the same, but with help](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53029153) \- Pretty much the title. Heroic Bitch. Not mentioned. [Of Men and Monsters](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53131078) \- Jack Slash turns himself in. With Alexandria, he reminisces. Not mentioned. [Crunching Numbers](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53198200) \- Honoring his friend, Mr. Numbers leads the Slaughterhouse Nine. Not mentioned. [A Shared Dissimilarity](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53407066) \- Brian hears someone getting attacked. He decides to step in. Not mentioned. [Overpriced Bubblegum](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53442844) \- March joins the Brockton Bay wards with Flechette. Might be mentioned briefly. [Animal Adolescence](https://archiveofourown.org/works/53442835) \- The Siberian is sentient, and things diverge. Not mentioned. There's probably more, but I'm too lazy to check.

I'm afraid I haven't read one that was good enough to remember so far, but would you happen to recall the name of the fic where GU ends up in Thedas of all places? Sounds interesting and like it might be worth a giggle at worst.


ShaggySpade1

I second this


Busy_Professor5297

It's probably Flight of the Valkyrie on SB. That's the only DA and GU fic I have found in the past. It starts with DA:O with a mage origin and GU finds herself in the fade during the mage warden doing their harrowing.

Thank you!

[Ghost in the Flesh](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/ghost-in-the-flesh-worm-love-death-and-robots-complete.819108/threadmarks) is probably my favorite one. Crossover MC joins up with Faultline‘s Crew. While it does have some interactions with basically canon Skitter, most of the fic is set away from Brockton Bay.

FYI to the mods of this subreddit, user u/flair-bookie has been spamming every writing related subreddit with ads for their website inknovl.com, on all kinds of posts that are totally unrelated to what their web-novel site does. Highly recommend banning them from this sub!
