1	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13690824/1/A-Kernel-Of-Truth A Kernel Of Truth]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfiction story where Annette's side of the family has a more... supernatural bent than in canon. It is in progress as of October 2022.
2	-----
3	!!This fanfic contains examples of:
4	* TheAlcatraz: The Birdcage, as in canon. Mal being able to get in and out to talk with Marquis with apparent ease just goes to show how powerful she is.
5	* AlwaysABiggerFish: Allfather is the leader of the Neo-Nazi gang Empire Eighty Eight, and his sole appearance in the story has him fleeing from Mal after she sets TheWildHunt upon him.
6	* BatterUp: How Taylor deals with annoying monsters in her closet.
7	* TheDreaded:
8	** Mal Linwood, Annette's mother. Myrddin claims that she causes BringMyBrownPants moments in the PRT staff aware of her, and even Marquis is very wary of her. Considering that she can get in and out of the ''Birdcage'', the reputation is probably well-earned.
9	** Annette's not bad at being this herself to those who get her mad, even terrifying Lung into '''not''' moving to the Bay.
10	* ExactWords: When New Wave contacts Myrddin to check on Mal's background, he cautions them against dealing with her, ''especially'' if she offers a "boon". When informed she used that exact word and Carol accepted it, he audibly breaks in fear, and explains the best they can do is follow the agreement ''to the letter''.
11	* TheFairFolk: It's eventually revealed that Mail is some variety of fae, and tends to abide by their BlueAndOrangeMorality. Notably, Myrrdin is ''terrified'' of the prospect of making deals with her.
12	* HappilyAdopted: Amy eventually gets formally adopted by the Heberts, and is much happier there than at the Dallons, though she still gets along well with Vicky.
13	* HorrifyingTheHorror: Annette is capable of terrifying '''Lung''' away from moving his operations to the Bay.
14	* INeedAFreakingDrink: When Myrrdin learns of New Wave's interactions with Mal Linwood and her extended family, he soon goes out and tries to get drunk enough to forget it.
15	* LittleMissBadass: Taylor batters the literal monster in her closet into submission.
16	* OutsideContextProblem: Taylor and her family are [[OurFairiesAreDifferent at least part fairy]] and ''do not'' abide by the rules of parahumans. Just to name one example, the inescapable parahuman prison known as the Birdcage? Taylor's grandmother Mal is able to ''enter and exit it at will''.
17	* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Taylor mentions a monster under her bed in the first chapter of the story. The first hint toward how this Taylor differs from canon is not that she's scared of him, but that he is ''making too much noise''.
18	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Myrrdin is ''not'' happy to learn that he'll be sent to the Brockton Bay Protectorate.
19	* TheWildHunt: Mal sets it on Allfather. Also, [[spoiler: it is led by Danny.]]
20	* WrongContextMagic: Mal and family are ''not'' parahumans, let's just say that. It's eventually revealed that Mail is actually a variety of [[TheFairFolk fairy]].
