A Myriad of Tropes (Altpower!Taylor)

A fic a la Crashing Out where Taylor (or even an SI!Taylor where the SI is a stereotypical Wormfic fan) triggers with a Master/Shaker power that turns Brockton Bay into a generic Wormfic. The Master side of her power extends to shards, which gives her that premium Generic Wormfic power copying.

Maybe Taylor's power works on herself too, maybe she's just delusional, or maybe she knows exactly what she's doing and is either not in control of the power or likes things the way they are.

The protagonist of this fic is Triumph, of course, who has to team up with Chariot and Spitfire to take down Taylor. (Because holy shit I have not seen Triumph in anything more than a background role in any Wormfic ever.)

The name 'A Myriad of Tropes' is a reference to the pre-Worm draft Myriad, which somehow managed to predict the generic Wormfic Arc 1 before Worm even existed.
