* EnemyCivilWar: Skitter gets quite good at stirring up these. Mostly, as a consequence of being a solo vigilante with a power poorly suited to direct confrontation.

* ContinuityNod: "''I was similarly confident that he had pretty good focus – no one gets to be a crimelord accidentally.''" The joke being- in canon, Taylor essentially did just that.

* {{Badass}}: Skitter. She is a complete badass, and takes pains that [[GuileHero nobody comes to realize this]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Tattletale had no idea Taylor [[spoiler: was behind the destruction of the ABB]] and later [[spoiler: Kaiser's assassination.]] Finding out about it causes a breif "[[WaitWhat Wait...waht?]]" moment from her.

* FandomNod: Quinn Calle mentions that people [[AWizardDidIt blame the Simurgh for many of society's problems]]. A refference to the popular meme- "[[MemeticMutation The Simurgh did it]]".

The Hero to Wildbow's Villain. One that flows organically and naturally from a very minor divergence into a stand-alone plot that only resembles the origional timeline in the very loosest sense.

In this timeline, Taylor did not give Armsmaster a definitive answer following their pivotal meeting. Instead, he offers her a chance to test the waters, and see if she would be comfortable dealing with Protectorate oversight. Unfortunately, this quickly leads to tragedy. Taylor wakes up a month later, a [[spoiler: newly minted orphan]]. What follows is both an epic RoaringRampageOfRevenge, and a heartwarming exploration of Taylor's character, and the character of the Brockton Bay Wards, the Undersiders, and Taylor's other allies and enemies.

* {{OrigionalFlavor}}: Deliciously so.

* OrigionalFlavor: Deliciously so.

* FandomNod: "''I was similarly confident that he had pretty good focus – no one gets to be a crimelord accidentally.''" The joke being- in canon, Taylor essentially did just that.
** Quinn Calle mentions that people [[AWizardDidIt blame the Simurgh for many of society's problems]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Both played straight and inverted. On one hand [[spoiler: Taylor's father is murdered by Bakuda]] on the other, Taylor dosen't spend the first month of her cape carreer fighting for her life against ''both'' sides of the law.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Tattletale has no idea Taylor [[spoiler: was behind the destruction of the ABB]] and later [[spoiler: Kaiser's assassination.]]

* ShoutOut: "''I was similarly confident that he had pretty good focus – no one gets to be a crimelord accidentally.''" The joke being- in canon, Taylor essentially did just that.

The plot makes full use of [[FlatCharacter characters]] [[OCStandIn not fully utilized in-canon]] to build a very different perspective of the gangs and happenings of Brockton Bay.

* TheChessmaster: Skitter. Due to haveing a power best suited to reconninsence and spying, she plays to her strengths and gets her enemies to fight each other. Coil also counts, to a lesser degree.

* EnemyCivilWar: Skitter gets quite good at this. Mostly, as a consequence of being a solo vigilante with a power poorly suited to direct confrontation.
