History Fanfic / RingMaker

* EmpathicWeapon: [[spoiler: Narsil is implied to be this when it leaves Taylor/Annatar after she starts descending into darkness after her second trigger, ending up in Sophia's locker. Sophia realizes that it isn't just a sword any more than the Rings are rings when Armsmaster brings it to her and resolves to use it to help save Taylor from herself and repay her for giving her a second chance]].

** When Armsmaster asks to borrow a Ring during the [[spoiler: Leviathan fight]], Taylor lets him have it, since he has seriously underestimated the addictiveness, especially if it isn't given freely.

** [[spoiler: Coil, by the time Annatar tracks him down with Cauldron's help, is so hopelessly addicted to Narya that he ''begs'' Annatar, ''on his knees'' to be allowed to keep it, even swearing to serve her no matter what]]. More than one reviewer compared him to [[spoiler: Gollum]].

** MadeOfIndestructium: Mithril is nearly indestructible when properly forged.* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Taylor feels that her recklessness with Bakuda, which nearly got the other Wards killed, is this, and resolves to be better]].

''Ring Maker'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}''/''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' crossover fanfic by Lithos Maitreya, in which Taylor gains the power to forge artifacts from the first and second ages, like the Three, and transmute normal metal to mithril and forge that, taking up the hero name Annatar.

* InvisibleToNormals: Taylor's Rings when worn. Her hammer and anvil as well, Danny actually walked ''through'' it once without even noticing.

* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Taylor feels that her recklessness with Bakuda, which nearly got the other Wards killed, is this, and resolves to be better]].

* CoDragons: [[spoiler: After Annatar starts tkaing on her predecessor EvilOverlord tendencies, she gets these in the form of Dragon, Panacea, and Coil, who are the Bearers for the Three Rings]].

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Emma, after triggering, is so desperate to take Taylor down that she joins up with the Empire]].

* CrowningMomentOFAwesome: Annataylor's battle with one of the Entities, which are implied to be the same kind of thing as ''[[EldritchAbomination Ungoliant]]''. No Shard for her. See also DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu below.

* CrowningMomentOFAwesome: Annataylor's battle with one of the Entities, which are implied to be the same kind of thing as ''[[EldritchAbomination Ungoliant]]'' No Shard for her.

* AbusiveParents: Sophia's stepfather Steven is the reason she triggered. WordOfGod is that it's because he's a ControlFreak, though he thankfully never physically hurt her.

Taylor Hebert had a bad day, and came out of it changed.

Some parahumans can control bugs. Some can build advanced technology. Some can do unspeakable things to space and time.

Taylor can make magic rings, wondrous metals, mysterious weapons, and may not be a parahuman--or, indeed, human--at all.

* SuperEmpowering: The Rings Taylor gives the Wards enhance their existing powers, Clockstopper can now slow down time around him, but his allies still think at the normal rate, Vista can affect direction; allowing her to say that "down" is say, a spot 5 feet in the air, Aegis gets a HealingFactor, Gallant's EmotionBomb powers get stronger and he has better control that lets him do more than simple blasts, Browbeat gets increased self-control (leading him to be banned from poker with the others), Kid Win's Tinkering and focus are boosted, and Sophia can teleport through shadows.
