History FanFic / Cenotaph

** And one can forget the bee blanket.

* [[ButterflyOfDoom: Taylor's well-intended actions ironically lead to Leviathan's attack being worse than canon.]]

* 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.

** And one can not forget the bee blanket.

** And one can not forget bee blanket.

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

* PopCulturedBadass: After Taylor sets up the above LetsYouAndHimFight situation, [[spoiler:Lung]] reveals his [[GenreSavvy genre savviness]] by referencing {{Yojimbo}}

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Revenge]] is a hell of a motivator to grind levels in Badass, as Skitter shows.

** It ended not [[spoiler:well for Coil]]

* AntiVillain: Skitter's recklessness has been drasticly increased due to her personal losses in this timeline. But she remains, essentially herself. [[spoiler:Namely, while she still has a conscience and a desire to do what's right, the death of her father causes her to go from a "merely" competent supervillain to "quite possibly BigBad for all of Brockton Bay in order to avenge him." In all of... three weeks.]]

* TitleDrop: As in [[{{Worm}} Worm]] itself, the title is refferenced in every arc, sometimes in a highly creative and subtle fashion.

* FallenHero: Taylor is even more reckless than in canon. This bites her hard when she [[spoiler: kills Bakuda... and sets off her failsafe]]- this leads to a moment MyGodWhatHaveIDone.

* AntiVillain / FallenHero: Skitter is even more reckless than in canon. [[spoiler:Namely, while she still has a conscience and a desire to do what's right, the death of her father causes her to go from a "merely" competent supervillain to "quite possibly BigBad for all of Brockton Bay in order to avenge him." In all of... three weeks.]]

* FallenHero: Skitter is even more reckless than in canon, though she remains an AntiVillain. [[spoiler:Namely, while she still has a conscience and a desire to do what's right, the death of her father causes her to go from a "merely" competent supervillain to "quite possibly BigBad for all of Brockton Bay in order to avenge him." In all of... three weeks.]]

* FallenHero: Skitter falls even further than in canon, though she remains an AntiVillain. [[spoiler:Namely, while she still has a conscience and a desire to do what's right, the death of her father causes her to go from a "merely" competent supervillain to "quite possibly BigBad for all of Brockton Bay in order to avenge him."]]

[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/cenotaph-worm.273255/ Cenotaph]]is widely considered one of the best [[Literature/{{Worm}} Worm]] fanfics ever written, a ''very'' OriginalFlavor [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] that emulates the origional style so seamlessly that some consider it equal and opposite the origional. 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 [[ForWantOfANail very loosest sense]].

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

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