One alternative power for Taylor that I don't think I've ever seen before is all the books.
Taylor has the ability to summon/create a copy of any book, past, present, mythical or fictional, and can telekineticly control them. She could use them to make shields, launch them at people at up to...
I found this old thing unfinished and decided to clean it up and take it to a stopping point.
I'm not sure where I originally intended for it to go, but I'm sure that I dropped it in favor of a similar idea with an older Taylor.

An investigation with a good chance that other agencies brought in when other things are uncovered.
Coil's moles and compromised systems would probably be uncovered in the investigation.
A lot of people's things would get wrecked, unless you believe that Contessa would just Dei ex Machina...
Taylor's tech is loosely based on Asgard technology from Stargate but she's not going to be pulling anything from the TV show out anytime soon. Partly because I don't know if the Asgard had mining ships or anything like the escorts that Taylor beamed into being and partly because I wanted to...

Lisa toweled her hair as she stepped out of the bathroom. She had taken the opportunity provided by Taylor going to manually check the matter storage and configuring some harvester drones to go after the Simurgh's clipped wings to take a shower.
After her...
I had a safe-ish idea that I wanted to share.

Lisa woke up in an unfamiliar place. She was laying on a pad sticking out of the wall and hanging in the air. The pad was not shaped with a human body in mind and wasn't the most comfortable thing...
Yeah but they have been going to the monkeys because they lack creativity themselves.
They been getting better at there one thing and maybe someone else might accidentally come up with a clever idea.
There big thing is centralized computing and decentralized computing is a little different...
Has anyone done a fic where the main character decides to beat the Entities by upgrading the shards.
If the shards are like networked mainframes and the parahumans are terminals then he or she changes them into laptops that have a more loose network connection.

The card game
Taylor sat looking at the card in her hand. The last thing she remembered was the abandoned Earth and Contessa. And now she was seated at a massive table with an equally massive card game in progress.
"Khepri you gonna stare at that card or take your turn?"
She looked up at...
A parahuman wrestling league has an exhibition match at Madison Square Gardens, hosted by the Protectorate, in an attempt to get approval to start having matches in America. One of the stars of the league is a trump/shaker whose shaker abilities allow normal people to do superhuman feats and a...
There's a non Taylor idea that I had a while ago that I'm surprised that no one else had.
Geoffrey Pellick's bad day starts with Ascalon being missing. A card with a stick figure with a halo is the only clue to what happened.
Mr. Pellick's day goes downhill from that.
The idea I had wouldn't be so easy for her. To use a automobile analogy, she has an old fashioned manual transmission with a lot of gears including half and quarter gears that she has to hit perfectly to get her power to work.
Everyone else has a modern computerized 12 gear transmission that...
Scion borked something up and Taylor's shard was released into the wild set to developer mode. The good news, she has thousands of powers and no hard limit on how many she can use at once. The bad news, each power has a tiny effect and she has to stack and sequence multiple ones to get a...
I don't remember the web site, but it was a thread about Warhammer 40k humor. Big Boom's Lie Back and Think of Terra was mentioned a lot and I had to check it out.
