Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

Amelia, Ch 400- Taylor
Amelia, Ch 400- Taylor


This is it, this is the day. I still can't believe it. ConcernDon'tGetColdFeet. Don't worry, that's not happening. I just still can't believe it. I'd always wondered what my marriage was going to look like. Then for a while I was convinced it would probably never happen, that I'd never find anyone who'd want to marry me, that I didn't deserve something as simple as being loved. Now I'm marrying a beautiful girl who loved me. Certainly I didn't expect anything like this. HereAlwaysLoveYou.


Sarah was busy tweaking my dress the last little bit before the ceremony. After the weeks of wedding planning in which she had taken to handling everything my own mother would have done if she were alive, I was able to call her 'Sarah' and not 'Mrs. Pelham'. Maybe the idea of her and my dad being together isn't so bad after all. I still couldn't imagine myself ever being comfortable enough to call her 'mom', however.


Then I had my part of the bridal party here with me. Dad was out in the main area with Theo, Zach and Mark seeing guests to their seats, or doing whatever else it was guys did at weddings when there wasn't a groom to worry about. I had my bridesmaids helping me out and telling me how wonderful the dress was while Emma poked me repeatedly in the face to make sure the makeup was perfect.


"I think I regret not taking your offer to simply alter my skin pigmentation for the day," I complained.


"Told you so," Emma gloated.


Lisa shook her head. "Nope, bad idea. They're going to have all kinds of stuff pointed at you, speculation, Thinkers and Tinkers. You cheat by doing makeup with powers, and it won't be long before everyone knows. Which wouldn't be a thing if you went extravagant with flying ponies and incredible displays of parahuman power. But you chose to go with 'when we're not on the job, we're just two normal girls' route. Which is a great choice from the PR angle, but leaves much to be desired in the 'cheat our way through the hard parts' side."


"Yeah, I know. I didn't really mean it."


"What you should have done is accepted my offer to throw a bachelorette party. I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers. You'd have loved it."


"Too much work to do. Besides, there's all kinds of other things wrong with that idea."


Sarah ran another go of the comb through my hair. "You sound like me when I was younger. Neil and I actually attacked a Teeth safehouse during our honeymoon. It was a blast. Both figuratively and in one unfortunate case quite literally."


Emma kept up her work, forcing me to close my eyes as she poked at my eyelids. "Don't worry, I've been an expert at makeup since I was thirteen years old. And you have excellent skin to work off of, this is just enhancing your natural beauty."


My natural beauty. Right. Because I have any of that at all. DisagreementYou'reBeautifulAcceptIt. Okay, there's one person who thinks I'm beautiful, and she's the only one that matters. GoodForNowArgueLater.


"She's right," Crystal agreed. "She's actually really good with the makeup. After seeing her dress sketches, I was sorta expecting you to look like you passed out drunk at a children's party and they went at you with crayons."


Emma didn't pause for a moment. "Oh hyuk, hyuk. Alright, and done." Emma stepped back.


Sarah gave a final tug of my hair and brush down my back, and picked off the last few pieces of stray hair. "Same here. We're perfect. You're allowed to see yourself in the mirror, now."


I took a deep breath, or as deep as was possible with this dress hugging my every curve like an overly affectionate anaconda, turning toward the mirror. Hilariously enough, Amelia and I had not been allowed to see our wedding dresses until just now.


Emma, Lisa, Vicky and Crystal all unanimously agreed that the pair of us were not allowed to dress ourselves, and after that the progression to not even knowing what we'd be wearing was inevitable. It was like they expected us to get married in jeans and t-shirts. Although, actually, that would have been a way to send a message that... clearly they were totally justified in not letting us decide our own dresses.


I got a look at myself and was glad they kept the surprise. The dress was stunning. The top was the traditional white coloration, as expected of a wedding dress. It clung tight to my body and I was proud enough of my figure to be confident in it being shown to billions of people. It came all the way up to a choker that emphasized my slender neck.


I probably could have made strapless work for me, but for the military medals. Avalon didn't have many to choose from so far. Just the series of small gold shields for every Endbringer battle attended. Each had a sword in the middle. Silver was the standard. Red for injury, or in my case death. And black for each one where there was a kill. There were also blue, green, and purple bands signifying search and rescue, medical aid that saved lives, and personal combat with the beasts in that order. All of mine were pinned neatly over my left breast.


Then there was the cape, which tied the whole look together perfectly. It was beautiful. A medium metallic blue slowly darkening as it got lower. It rested over my shoulders, moving down under my arms and around my hips, coming together above my navel, one side folding over to my hip before curving back again. The cape parted again right around my knees, revealing the white of the dress around my shins. The cape also formed the train of my dress, which was a deep midnight blue. With a few strategic points where it was sewn to the dress itself to keep everything from coming apart as I walked down the aisle. The red trim of the cape really highlighted everything and evoked a wonderful, no doubt deliberate image of a cocoon.


My hair was done to shine and drape down my back, with a simple blue ribbon to hold it in place. For a moment I could imagine I was looking at my mother in the mirror. Don't know why I'm surprised, she really wasn't much older than I am now when she married my dad, after all.


ShockI'mBeautifulIt'sPerfect. I smiled. "I think Amelia approves of her dress, too."


"Good, because it's almost time. We're doing this on a razor's edge," Lisa reminded me. "Bridal and whatever parties, out we go."


As the bride, or one of them, I got to hang back out of sight. The shadows had gotten longer while we were inside getting prepared. Ours would be an outdoor wedding. Part of the careful calculations was a sunset wedding. Fully seventy percent of Avalon's population was either in our analogs of the United States or Japan. Another ten percent in Canada. Most of our supporters on Bet, the same regions. This was the best time to inconvenience as few people who wanted to experience this live with us as possible.


Theo and my Dad came around the corner of our temporary privacy room. Theo took his spot in the lineup. Dad stopped to give Sarah a peck on the cheek as she left for the seats. He made his way to me, taking position on my left hand side. We had planned every part of this wedding, including the nontraditional parts.


"You look perfect, Kiddo. Your mother would be so proud."


I smiled. "Thanks, Dad."


"Don't cry. Wait until after the ceremony, then you can and will ruin your makeup to your heart's content."


"Thanks again." I took a deep breath. Now was the only major displays of power any of us would do. The start of the ceremonies. Thousands of them across the whole world of Avalon. We timed this as perfectly as possible. We even dropped a few million dollars into at least helping to pay for all these ceremonies. Those who wanted large weddings would still be footing most of the bill, themselves. Even still, we were spending more on any one of their weddings than we had on our own. A fact that would be picked up on by the gossip news quite quickly. Probably a week from now.


The world shifted white beneath our feet. Amelia's part of our worldwide announcement the wedding had begun. Every outdoor surface of Avalon was now a beautiful, if somewhat muted white, a result of pigments being altered in the Yggdrasil. This was the signal to start the weddings. My own bridesmaids, and men I suppose, started the process.


Theo went first. A calculation of sorts, starting off on the nontraditional foot of a male member of the bride's party. He would be joined by Missy from Amelia's side and they'd take their positions.


Then the next pair. Emma went out, she'd meet up with Zach. My former best friend, former betrayer, now friend again and basically a Case 53, at least as far as the world as a whole was concerned. One of the monster capes. She, or someone like her, would be here on political message merits alone, but I was glad to have her here, a part of my life again.


Lily was the third to go out, and Sabah would meet her on the other side. Those two were a purely political move. The both knew and accepted it. Sabah was one of the more popular and successful rogues in the world, and an Endslayer on top of it. Which meant two Endslayers standing on Amelia's side. I, meanwhile, had the Endslayer. Japan's favorite daughter and all around crusader of the GLBT cause. It would be a slap in the faces of some of our biggest political supporters to snub either of them. They'd just have to tolerate each other's presence for the night since they were currently on breakup number whatever.


The next one was Crystal. More here for convenience, to round out the numbers, and to thank Sarah for all her effort and hard work. She'd be paired alongside Clarice for the purposes of the wedding procession. The first pair without a political maneuver present or future behind it.


By now, numerous other ceremonies had reached their apex, the bridal march music starting. Amelia had made her blessings known by the color shift. Now it was my turn to show my own presence. Thousands of butterflies swirled in the air across our world at my command, though only a couple handfuls per wedding. Enough to let them know I was there, not enough to distract from the bride.


"Muckfuthers," Lisa muttered.


God damn it. "What?"


"Nothing. Vicky cooked up a little prank, it won't disrupt anything, I promise. No one's going to know anything's up except us." Lisa drew herself together and walked out, my maid of honor would meet up with Vicky. Then it was our turn.


I took a slow breath. This is it. This is really, truly, it. I couldn't tell which feelings were mine and which were Amelia's, but I was glad to know we were going through this together.


I put my arm around Dad's, and my heart jumped when the music started. I'd already heard it hundreds of times and would hear it hundreds more in just the time this ceremony had taken, but those didn't matter. It was this one, here, now, that mattered. My wedding.


We walked out. With Dad to my left, and the guest seating to my right. As a combination of political maneuver and message to send, we'd opted to mess with the whole system. Instead of one bride walking on one aisle, we had two. I was on the left hand side from the audience perspective, the traditionally feminine position at the altar. But we'd set the layout to face east meaning I'd be approaching from, and standing on the north side. We'd have the benefit of the sun highlighting us, then we'd leave down the center aisle together, into the recently set sun. All part of a carefully laid out plan to make it clear neither of us was the dominant partner.


And all of that planning stopped meaning anything for me the moment I made eye contact with Amelia across the aisle. Her costume was almost identical to mine. The white underlayer, the cape carefully wrapped around her body. The difference being hers was green instead of blue. Much like mine, it got darker the lower it went. Going from a leaf green to a dark jungle green. And like mine it had the red trim to highlight. Where mine created the image of a cocoon, hers was reminiscent of a flower just starting to bloom.


Emma's lack of art skills notwithstanding, this is a brilliant idea. I'll have to thank her for it later. AgreedBothOfUs.


Even our lack of veils, our lack of masks, was a calculation. And it backfired at least a little. We just stared at each other. A little part of my brain wondered if this is why brides were escorted by their fathers. I walked only because Dad was walking, and Amelia much the same with Mark to her right. They kept time because neither of us were able to.


LoveAnticipationIStillCan'tBelieveIt. I know, shoulda done it sooner. AgreedButResponsibilities.


We met in the center, where the three aisled converged in front of the altar. Smiling anxiously at one another, and turning to the last member of our entourage. Dinah, who absolutely refused to be a flower girl. So instead she got to be the ring bearer. For both of them, because it made as much sense as anything. Both were simple bands with a small star of gems on top. Sapphires for the one I'd give her, emeralds for me. Otherwise, the pair were identical.


We reached to pick up our respective when Dinah spoke. "You'll be happy, at least as long as my power can see under these circumstances."


ConfidentRestOfOurLives. I didn't take my eyes off Amelia's. "We know."


She went back to her seat, with her parents. They looked understandably overwhelmed given the circumstances. A lot of the people in the audience were big names. Capes well known on rapidly shifting world stage. Two thirds of the Triumvirate, lacking Eidolon for him needing to appear politically neutral. Dragon, Chevalier, Akaihana, Adalid, Valkyrie, Narwhal. The ones likely to be recognized by anyone, and dozens of others. Less than a third of the people here were normal and that was including the cameramen in the count.


We turned to the simplistic trellis and lectern that served as our wedding altar. There stood one of our other political choices, Halo. He would be the one to officiate the ceremonies. He was qualified by whatever standard nondenominational Christians used on Bet. Whether he was qualified on Avalon? Eh, we say he's qualified, that means he's qualified. It helped for both our pro equality social messages, and in marking our long term friends and allies.


We brushed hands as we stepped forward to complete the ceremony and make our vows. What was it they called moments like this? The first day of the rest of our lives? Yeah, that's what this felt like. Our lives, together.

Okay, first. This was an awesome chapter and definitely worth the lead up to being the 400th chapter.

Way to go TanaNari.

Also:

That's interesting that is.
 
"What you should have done is accepted my offer to throw a bachelorette party. I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers. You'd have loved it."
Oh man, they missed out on Path To Party? Game over, man.
The next one was Crystal. More here for convenience, to round out the numbers, and to thank Sarah for all her effort and hard work.
I don't think it was meant that way, but damn. Harsh.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We reached to pick up our respective when Dinah spoke. "You'll be happy, at least as long as my power can see under these circumstances."
What exactly, I wonder, would she have said if her power said something different? "Eh, good luck." "You'll be happy for the rest of your lives," would have been an ominous one, too. Or maybe she's figured out how to lie. Not that it matters since her power is jacked regarding them, it's just amusing.

What is not amusing is the lack of detail regarding her suit.

We brushed hands as we stepped forward to complete the ceremony and make our vows. What was it they called moments like this? The first day of the rest of our lives? Yeah, that's what this felt like. Our lives, together.

Excellent job.
 
Canon Omake AND beautiful fanart: "I Do"
Cross-posting from SV!


If TanaNari won't give us a vow's scene.... Well, I'm just going to have to take matters into my own hands, right?

"I Do"

I was being calmed by Amelia, her encouragement banishing away my nervousness and terror.

It was surreal. Here I was, getting married. To Amelia, the best thing that had ever happened to me.

I was wearing a gorgeous dress designed by Emma, standing in front of an audience that included Legend and Alexandria and more.

And I was in love.

What would Skitter think? What would the Taylor of before that think?

It was impossibly, unambiguously good.

AnticipationExcitement, Amelia sent.

Halo's voice finally broke through my haze of disbelief, shock, and happiness.

"Will you, Amelia Clair Lavere, and Taylor Hebert, take each other as your lawful, married spouse?"

AnticipationNervousnessHappinessBliss

We made eye contact, and my mouth almost unconsciously flickered into a smile. A matching smile appeared almost immediately on Amelia's face.

AnticipationBlissNow.

"I do," we said together.

In that moment, everything was perfect.

I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers.
She considers Contessa a friend? She's been getting her claws into them all, hasn't she :D

"Muckfuthers," Lisa muttered.
And there's mom's influence!

"I do," we said together.
And then everyone on the planet died as the world spasmed in ecstatic joy. There's the dark fix fic end!
 
Valkyrie is definitely the name GU chose post-Golden Morning. Not sure if it's her or Adalid for the "obscure but important canon cape name".
Ciara discarding the Fairie Queen persona and becoming Valkyrie suggests she's looking to end the cycle and beat Scion, which is certainly important, but less obscure than Adalid, who only appears to be mentioned twice in Worm and has been mentioned once (as far as I can see) in Amelia so far.
Adalid's powers and strength are unknown, but he was the one to represent the South American capes in the Cauldron meeting when Scion went murder-mode. His sole appearance in Amelia thus far was to stay and protect his country when Khonsu turned up, which was the same in canon. He's certainly obscure, but I don't know if he's more important than a Glaistig Uaine who could potentially be buffed up by Pantheon.
 
Did anyone catch the joke that Lisa was talking about, or is it going to be for the next chapter?

Ciara discarding the Fairie Queen persona and becoming Valkyrie suggests she's looking to end the cycle and beat Scion
Or, taken by the name, she's looking to collect the souls of the dead warriors and will be quite happy to let Scion run wild. Just because it was used as a PR friendly name at the end of canon doesn't mean that's the case here.
 
That's so adorable. They're cute together.

Shame neither of them actually loves the other and they're only attracted because their shards are squeezing their brains, but hey; take happiness where you can find it, right?

Depending on the prank, Vicky may end up in traction for several months.

And yeah, it's a shame they didn't let Lisa's friend throw a party. It'd have been the best ever, I'm sure.

*insert comment regarding love not actually existing/being nothing but chemical effects on the brain anyway here*
Meh.

And yeah, it's a shame they didn't let Lisa's friend throw a party. It'd have been the best ever, I'm sure.
Contessa would refuse to let them come. The Taylia bond ruins her parties, which is the main reason why she hates shard synergy.
 
Slowly. Because holy fuck this isn't even a real wedding and I'm still busy planning it. I've barely even started to write anything.

This is on my "never again" list. Right alongside formal letters and goddamn PHO interludes.
Funny, especially since you're putting so much efforts into an event that has something, like, 90% chance of being interrupted by Scion losing his shit and starting Gold Morning right in the middle of it.

Because that's definitely something you'd do. Fucking Hope Spot.
 
Or, taken by the name, she's looking to collect the souls of the dead warriors and will be quite happy to let Scion run wild. Just because it was used as a PR friendly name at the end of canon doesn't mean that's the case here.

Sure, but from the A/N:
Finding obscure but likely important canon cape name.
"Important canon cape name" either means "important name for a canon cape", so the meaning behind Valkyrie is probably similar, otherwise she'd probably have stuck with it, or "name of canon cape who will be important". My speculation was purely based off of that. Knowing TanaNari, I'd guess that GU is still in fairieland and enjoying the hell out of the spectacle her power is showing her off all the capes there, and Adalid is the important cape who we know nothing about yet.
 
D'aaaw- Taylor as an excited bride. The feels are strong with this one.

"What you should have done is accepted my offer to throw a bachelorette party. I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers. You'd have loved it."

Too bad. It'd have been the best bachelorette party ever.

"Nothing. Vicky cooked up a little prank, it won't disrupt anything, I promise. No one's going to know anything's up except us." Lisa drew herself together and walked out, my maid of honor would meet up with Vicky. Then it was our turn.

Wondering just what Vicky's gotten up to now....

We brushed hands as we stepped forward to complete the ceremony and make our vows. What was it they called moments like this? The first day of the rest of our lives? Yeah, that's what this felt like. Our lives, together.

Awww. Such a perfect moment with all the feels.

Too bad things are going to start getting a lot heavier not that much further down the road.

Warrior observed the joining of the two shard hosts and broadcast a single word/concept for what it experienced. [ACCEPTANCE.]
"Hey, are - are you alright?" A young man asked with an awkward lilt. He started unabashedly at the Golden Man, floating several feet above the intersection. Liquid gold streamed down the man's face.

He didnt get an answer of course. Zion never spoke with the inhabitants of this world. For the most part they were beneath his notice.

[REMEMBRANCE]

For just a moment the Warrior had received a broadcast. Something it had never expected to happen again. It's counterpart was dead, he was alone. Except it had. Weak, and lacking all of the nuance that it was used to, but there none the less.

//JOINING//

[HOPE]

The Warrior altered its path, tapping into a power to locate the broadcast mindless of the chunk it took out of his reserves. He followed it's direction to a dimensional disturbance where the host species had cut a path into an analogous world.

His avatar entered it without hesitation. He was eager to see his nascent offspring. This was not how he had expected this Cycle to end, but it was welcome all the same. A new form. A new species of his kind.

The Cycle would go on.
 
Theo, Zach and Mark Seeing guests to their seats,
"Seeing" shouldn't be capitalized.

"What you should have done is accepted my offer to throw a bachelorette party. I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers. You'd have loved it."
My first thought was that Pinkie Pie was a Case 53. Then my dreams were ruined by boring old Contessa.

Come to think, it's a bit weird that no MLP/Worm crossovers have used that as a device...

Unchecked fact: Skipping vows and kiss will fill readers with rage.
FUCK YOU TOO YA DICK!
What is not amusing is the lack of detail regarding her suit.
FUCK. YOU. YA DICK.

Also, my d'awwwww and squeeeeee counters are rapidly approaching nine thousand. I was sounding like a fucking humpback whale reading this.
 
Especially since they can both basically be present for every single one of them.
I can see that, and I approve.

Imagine, if you will, a joining of hearts and futures that is Avalon Wedding.

All the involved parties (which covers groups of three like Theo/Clarice/Missy) walk to the dais, each with a specially prepared seed (probably a single genotype / multiple phenotype one that reacts to a person's DNA) on them. At the tail end of the ceremony, the seeds are put into the small hollows in the dais, and the happy wedded people hold hands in a circle. Then the seeds sprout and grow into the corresponding number of plants, that intertwine during growth and finally sprout flowers unique to the individual based on their DNA, resulting in a magnificent variation of a bonsai.

Traditional saying of Avalon is, based on this:
"The flowers are blooming, all is right with the world".

EDIT: Dammit, TanaNari did his version first!
You're kinda missing the obvious ones here.

Horus: *Stabs Taylor and Amelia* Heil Hitler
Dragon: Sic Semper Tyrannus.
I only have one answer to this:

Attero! Dominatus!

 
They can send Whitney songs over the bond. Game over.
Lisa shook her head.
Glad to see that they were able to reconcile/get to know each other again over the timeskip. Or she's only there as a political move. I'm going to go with the first option.
I have a friend who knows how to throw the best parties. Literally, that's actually part of her powers.
...lmao.
My natural beauty. Right. Because I have any of that at all. DisagreementYou'reBeautifulAcceptIt. Okay, there's one person who thinks I'm beautiful, and she's the only one that matters. GoodForNowArgueLater.
[more gibbering]
ShockI'mBeautifulIt'sPerfect. I smiled. "I think Amelia approves of her dress, too."
At least they didn't spoil it by being able to send images.
We even dropped a few million dollars into at least helping to pay for all these ceremonies.
Isn't that pocket change for them?

The first pair without a political maneuver present or future behind it.
It's nice to see that they've grown more seasoned in their politicking over the timeskip.
"Muckfuthers," Lisa muttered.
Doctor Mother approves.
Amelia much the same with Mark to her right.
I wonder if Marquis got snuck into the audience. I hope he did.

I couldn't tell which feelings were mine and which were Amelia's
Someone beat me to it, but yeah, this shouldn't be nearly as creepy as it is. Stupid power-bond that caused this wedding to happen in the first place reminding us that the wedding wouldn't have happened without it. Grr.

We reached to pick up our respective when Dinah spoke. "You'll be happy, at least as long as my power can see under these circumstances."

ConfidentRestOfOurLives. I didn't take my eyes off Amelia's. "We know."
Oh, right, Dinah's power sees the clones as extensions of the same person. Which is the opposite of what Lisa's power sees. I mean, the relevance is different in each case, but it would have still been a nice point to bring up to Lisa at some point amidst that drama. (Unless, of course, it was and I just forgot.)
Our lives, together.
Grrrrrrrrr. Stupid probable-nascent-Entity, not letting me properly enjoy the fluff...
