Trillium Waltz is a Worm early canon divergence fanfic by Idiom Alpha in which Taylor meets Amy and Victoria before any of them get powers. Bad things happen resulting in all three girls triggering at the same time in the same place.

This fic provides examples of:

  • Combo Platter Powers: Due to triggering at the same time in the same place Taylor, Amy, and Victoria each have 1 strong power and 2 weak ones.
    • Victoria has a kaleidoscope of forcefield shards covering her body that she can manipulate. She uses them to cover her body or to create constructs she can control, though they become weaker the further they are from her, yet regain their strength if she touches them again. She can hear and see out of the forcefields if she spreads them out, extending her awareness with amazing clarity, and they also remove all sense of pain from the parts of the body they cover regardless of it being her own or someone else's. The shields can be broken up and made smaller, to the point where she has thousands of pin-pricks of light, but this lowers their effectiveness, although she can still use them to spy and be aware of things in large area akin to canon!Taylor's swarm sense. She also has Amy's canon ability to have a complete understanding and feeling of a person's body at a touch, and can even use it through her shields, though they seem to not work on Amy while Amy's sense works on her, but she can sense Taylor's body but only through her shields. This contact also allows her similar control as Amy's electrical impulse manipulation, but more to the degree of messing with input and outputs, which is what happened when she accidentally cut off all feeling, movement and control in Dean's arms, and she can't affect her own or need to swap impulses like Amy needs to. The forcefields disappear if they take a strong impact, like her canon power, but if they are divided instead of all connected then each group has their own separate durability that can take one hit. This comes at the cost of it taking a few seconds longer to recharge after being destroyed, regardless of being together or separate. Combined with them regaining strength when she touches a shield again, this lets her make a bunch of weapon constructs out her forcefields and have them float around her, then grab one when she needs to perform an attack; the weapon breaks, but it swings at full power, and she can grab another one while it recharges. Finally, if the shields are connected to her instead of just hovering around her, the fields are much stronger and can be more creatively manipulated due to being "a extension of herself", allowing her to form things like giant walker legs or spider legs all while they feel as normal as any of her other limbs. The more shields she uses simultaneously or as a group (or if she is extremely emotional), the stronger they become and the easier they are to control compared to only controlling one.
    • Taylor has a pair of vein-like wings made from her internal biomass, along with hives in her arms that she can use to spawn insects through holes in her arms, again at the cost of her biomass, making her incredibly weak to the point of nearly dying if she creates too many. The insects appear as glowing lights, that appear in different colours at once, that can fly and move at her command. Depending on the colour of the bugs, they can project beams of solid light in different ways. If she spawns red bugs, they can project a solid beam between any two "lights", allowing her to make various forms of "connect-the-dots" patterns and use them as strong barriers to protect against or lift things. If she spawns blue bugs, they can create more malleable, thin streams of light that can be used to bind someone. The light beams can't be passed through or broken easily, such as Sophia being unable to pass through them in her Breaker form. The insects stay present near her without any command from her, but she can also command them to reenter her body through the holes in her arms, which slowly gives her back her used-up biomass and energy. Of course, this feeling is incredibly uncomfortable. She also seems to have a form of regeneration abilities, as when she dislocated her arm and snapped one of her wings when Sophia and Emma threw her down a staircase, she shortly got up uninjured besides some lessened pain, though it also uses up biomass.
    • Amy gains an "aura" which give her a vague and blurry sense of a person's internal body from any multiple people around her. She can use this aura to manipulate others' biology, whether it be healing Victoria or causing all the nearby gang members' fingers to break and esophaguses to close, though both the internal body sense and the manipulation work better when in contact with the person (or if she is extremely emotional), and she can't use it on herself. Furthermore, she can't manipulate any biology like in canon, such as bacteria which her power considers "alien", and the sense of a person's internals is much more gradually compared to how instant it was in canon. She can also see and manipulate people's electrical impulses through her aura, which lets her do everything the brain commands the body to do, whether it be manipulating senses, physical actions, reactions, or emotions. This connects her impulses with the other person/people, which can allow her to swap various senses around, such as giving a person her fear while taking their anger, or swap people's body control, such as making them talk out of her mouth or see through her eyes and vice-versa. She can even bring out the electricity in an arc between them both that is like "motionless lightning" and preventing the person the control of or feel the part of their body that the electric impulses come from, like Victoria's arm.
  • For Want Of A Nail: As the description implies things diverge from canon very early.
    • Taylor having trouble dealing with Emma and Sophia’s bullying skip school and meets Amy and Victoria at around the time Amy would’ve gotten her powers in canon. The three girls are confronted by the gang that was responsible for Amy’s canon trigger. During the chaos Taylor is thrown into a dumpster and Victoria gets shot. This results in all three girls triggering at the same time.
  • Named by the Adaptation: Mouse Protector's first name is Millie.
