''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10166959/1/Webwork Webwork]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' fanfic by Trackula and Eduard Kassel, and a part of FanFic/ProjectDarkJade.
Official Summary: Balance does not discriminate. The failure of successive dark champions present and future has created an imbalance in favor of the light. Thanks to the meddling of a fallen foe, Jade Chan will pay the price for another's tampering with destiny. Though heroes will rise yet again to face darkness, Jade has a stake in this conflict such as no dark foe before her.
A story set sometime after the canon series' GrandFinale, the plot of ''Webwork'' is instigated when the sealed away Tarakudo manipulates events to reawaken Jade's SuperPoweredEvilSide in order to bolster the Dark half of the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil. However, things quickly get much worse than that, as the plot develops into easily the darkest ever presented in the Project.
'''Warning:''' There is a MAJOR LateArrivalSpoiler that ends up shaping most of the story, and as such will not be spoiled out, in order to avoid whiting out the whole page. You have been warned.
!!Tropes Present In This Story:
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Oddly, it's not the villains disrupting it, but the heroes -- Tarakudo's stated motivation for returning Jade to TheDarkSide is that the constant defeat of major villains by the heroes in canon has diminished the Dark half of the balance to the point there's almost only Light in the world. As such, the entities that sit in judgement over the balance are required to restore it, with Tarakudo pointing them in Jade's direction.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As noted above, this is possibly the single darkest story in the Project.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tarakudo and Jade are the most obvious, though the Jorogumo Queen gets in on it as well.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Youkai races fled into the Emptiness to escape humanity's growing dominance of the world, but without humans as a food source or a way out, they quickly turned on each other.
* {{Fingore}}: When Jade flees her family at Drew's apartment building, she slides down the outside of the building by gripping it with her fingernail claws... which ''rip off'' on the way down, tearing up her fingers.
* LastOfHisKind: The Jorogumo Queen and the unborn young in the Vessel are all that's left, since the rest were killed by infighting and hunger after arriving in the Emptiness.
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: Tarakudo is able to communicate with Jade from his imprisonment via reflective surfaces.
* MeaningfulRename: It turns out that Jade's birth name is Yu, but when she came to America, she renamed herself so as to separate herself from her old, boring life.
* ThatManIsDead: Jade says this about her old identity as Yu.
Official Summary: Balance does not discriminate. The failure of successive dark champions present and future has created an imbalance in favor of the light. Thanks to the meddling of a fallen foe, Jade Chan will pay the price for another's tampering with destiny. Though heroes will rise yet again to face darkness, Jade has a stake in this conflict such as no dark foe before her.
A story set sometime after the canon series' GrandFinale, the plot of ''Webwork'' is instigated when the sealed away Tarakudo manipulates events to reawaken Jade's SuperPoweredEvilSide in order to bolster the Dark half of the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil. However, things quickly get much worse than that, as the plot develops into easily the darkest ever presented in the Project.
'''Warning:''' There is a MAJOR LateArrivalSpoiler that ends up shaping most of the story, and as such will not be spoiled out, in order to avoid whiting out the whole page. You have been warned.
!!Tropes Present In This Story:
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Oddly, it's not the villains disrupting it, but the heroes -- Tarakudo's stated motivation for returning Jade to TheDarkSide is that the constant defeat of major villains by the heroes in canon has diminished the Dark half of the balance to the point there's almost only Light in the world. As such, the entities that sit in judgement over the balance are required to restore it, with Tarakudo pointing them in Jade's direction.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As noted above, this is possibly the single darkest story in the Project.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tarakudo and Jade are the most obvious, though the Jorogumo Queen gets in on it as well.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Youkai races fled into the Emptiness to escape humanity's growing dominance of the world, but without humans as a food source or a way out, they quickly turned on each other.
* {{Fingore}}: When Jade flees her family at Drew's apartment building, she slides down the outside of the building by gripping it with her fingernail claws... which ''rip off'' on the way down, tearing up her fingers.
* LastOfHisKind: The Jorogumo Queen and the unborn young in the Vessel are all that's left, since the rest were killed by infighting and hunger after arriving in the Emptiness.
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: Tarakudo is able to communicate with Jade from his imprisonment via reflective surfaces.
* MeaningfulRename: It turns out that Jade's birth name is Yu, but when she came to America, she renamed herself so as to separate herself from her old, boring life.
* ThatManIsDead: Jade says this about her old identity as Yu.
