Summary
Taylor Hebert doesn't get powers from a locker. She gets them years earlier, on a subway platform in New York—alongside three strangers who should never have shared a moment, let alone a bond. By the time she returns to Brockton Bay, she's a masked vigilante with a spear, two unusually talkative ravens, and a reputation built on myth and misdirection. She doesn't plan on running into Lily again. She definitely doesn't expect to find herself back in her old best friend's orbit.
But the city's quieter than she remembers, and the streets don't feel safe anymore. Something's changed. The Empire is moving in daylight, the PRT is watching from the shadows, and Taylor’s past—the messy, violent, beautiful parts of it—is starting to catch up. Sometimes, being a hero means taking off the mask. Sometimes, it means putting it back on.
[[Formerly part of my snip thread, now it's own fic! Wooooo!]]

Summary
The Brockton Bay Brigade was fed bad information, and so attacked the wrong target, but still form New Wave despite their blunder. Marquis doesn't end up getting sent to the Birdcage and so remains entrenched, though as a single parent.
Taylor doesn't end up going to summer camp, which might have ended up better for her and Emma had the attack over the summer of 2009 not turned out so much worse.

Summary
Taylor Hebert is dead. That is as much as she remembers, for shades often lose most of their memories once they fall to the Underworld. But she aches to remember who she was, what happened. With Melinoë's teachings and lady Hecate's goodwill, she plans to return to the land of the living from which she fell, and find exactly what is that happened to her.

Summary
On a trip to Boston, Taylor Hebert and her father were caught in the middle of a battle between the Teeth and the Boston Protectorate. In her panic to protect her father, Taylor may have made an ill-advised decision, suffocating Butcher XIV. Now that she's become the new Butcher, Taylor took a careful look at her options before deciding that the only reasonable decision would be to join the Brockton Bay Wards. Surely this plan has absolutely no problems.
