Line #31 FanFic/WeaverAndJinx


1	->I had a stalker.
2
3	->I first saw her a week ago. I'd been at my locker, looking over my shoulder for the usual trouble, when I caught her watching me from down the crowded hallway. She was tiny, not even five feet tall, and had milk chocolate skin, short, thick dreadlocks and a round, little face that made her look too young for high school. She wore horn-rim glasses over her sad puppy-dog eyes

9	''Weaver and Jinx'' is based on the [[PointOfDivergence premise]] of Taylor getting a friend before her first night out heroing. Together, she and [[{{OC}} Maribel]] become "Weaver and Jinx" and set out to solve the gang problem in Brockton Bay.
10
11	Noteable for the reversal of several traditional ''Worm'' fanfiction conventions, among which is Taylor defaulting to the voice of reason and temperance to Maribel's [[BombThrowingAnarchists more militant mentality]].

14	----
15	!! This series provides examples of:
16
17	* AlternateUniverseFic: Taylor gets a friend in her fellow school outcast, Maribel, who turns out to [[spoiler: have a potent Trump power]].
18	* AmbiguousInnocence, ObliviouslyEvil: Maribel is pretty thoughtless and tends towards cruel and/or risky plans in general.
19	* AntiVillain: Maribel might be considered one, as the first major act she undertakes in-story is befriending Taylor, and she gets herself injured to stop Taylor's bullying, but she tends to lean towards villainous behavior.
20	* BloodKnight: Strangely enough, tiny, diminutive and bespectacled Maribel seems to be something of one.
21	* BombThrowingAnarchists: Maribel seems to be a mild example, and has urged Taylor to not join the Wards or cooperate with them. She’s also fine with Taylor being a villain if she wants to be.
22	* BreakTheCutie: Maribel’s backstory. Taylor’s everyday life.
23	* CantStopTheSignal: This is why Maribel [[spoiler: uploads the tell-all video (see CaughtOnTape below)]] without first informing Taylor and asking for permission.
24	* CaughtOnTape: Maribel [[spoiler: uploads a Website/YouTube video explaining and showing the physical and mental abuse she and Taylor were subjected to by Sophia, Emma, and Madison. The ensuing scandal results in Sophia and Emma being expelled and Principal Blackwell and Director Piggot being fired]].
25	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Every parahuman, as per canon.
26	* HookHand: Maribel lost a hand in her trigger event and got fitted with an artificial prosthetic.
27	* HowDoIShotWeb: A significant portion of the story has covered Taylor helping Maribel [[spoiler: figuring out her power]]
28	* InverseLawOfUtilityAndLethality: Averted with Taylor, whose power has many uses and can be equally lethal. Zig-zagged with Maribel’s power, which is only power buffing and debuffing and can’t kill- but may have other aspects that have been hinted at.
29	* OriginalFlavor
30	* SociopathicHero: Jinx is this, a little bit.
31	** ''"Oh, come on! Can't you at least have your spiders chew his dick while he sleeps? He'll wake up going, 'Ahhh! My dick!' And if you use brown recluses, [[BloodyHilarious it'd be even funnier!"]]''
32	* TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: [[spoiler: Maribel]] can analyze powers and have a generally good idea what they do.
33	* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Weaver and Jinx when Shadow Stalker compliments them after their CurbStompBattle debut.
