Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

God damn it, now I need to change the ending.

...

...

Uh. I mean. Noooo, I totally had something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in mind! Yeah! It's nothing like this at all!

 

[IMPLYING IMPLICATIONS]

still, I read Silent, and I don't recall this coming up. then again, this is 03:20 where I am and quite drunk, so I might not recall many things. I do recall that we have a bit of wine in the cellar still. maybe it'll last till morning. maybe not.

Despite having the title of darkest fix-fic, it sure is hilarious when even the writer himself is tripping-ball over the ending.

 

Now I'm imagining Scion is not actually a god, but rather a spacewhale 4chan script kiddie.
Pathetic? Bored? Destroying worlds for teh lulz?
It hangs together a bit too well.

"Hey Scion, thanks for stopping that natural disaster!"

[ANONDELIVERS]

"Hey Scion, what's up with the lack of costume?"

[TITSORGTFO]

"Hey Scion, why are you pulling cats out of trees?"

[CATURDAY]

 

I was right! I was right! I was right!!

*does a jig*

 

Shut your pie hole, Lisa.

Also, you couldn't have said that in Japanese or something, instead of invoking an Andrew Ryan-esque shutoff for their suits?

honestly

So what you're saying is that there's no way that Tana can write something even more depressing?

I'd like to make a prediction: The reason why Dinah predicted a dropping chance of the 'talk Scion into leaving' plan working is that Taylia was growing stronger, and thus Scion was becoming more confident that reviving Eden would work.

 

For this chapter,I'm playing R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" as covered by J2 and featuring Casey Hensley.

 

Does someone actually have a link to Silent?

Personally I really liked Silent. It had a good ending and one that fit.

 

Didn't the original Silent ending get Ret-Coiled?

 

ish? the author was going to coil-con it. but honestly, the wormverse would do much better to not have parahuman powers regardless, so i still say it's a good end

 

When they woke up with zombie bodies, my reaction was basically... "God damn it, Scion."

Taylia becoming an entity isn't exactly unexpected, I mean... a lot of us have been calling it, in one form or another, for several hundred chapters now. Loved the execution, though. The ride up to this has been fun. Now it's just a matter of time to see how it plays out.

... Oh god. It's a fix-fic for Scion, isn't it? It was never about the people.

 

And then, Clarice appeared out of nowhere, gave Taylia a genky cool-down hug, with the unconditional support of Missy and Thep. Libecca added some sage words, while Zack gave some really pervy (but still sage) words, and Emma hit him. And together, all of Pantheon made the Ultra-Avaton, which defeated Scion with the power of FRIENDSHIP!

 

Italics.

"Heiress'".

... Scion is a magnificent bastard. Fortunately he's in the habit of listening to his wife.

 

[ANGER]

[CONFUSION]

[COUCH]

[DISMAY]

[ISOLATION]

[RECONCILIATION]

[NEGATION]

And that's how Scion discovered his girlfriend was gay now.

 

Today, in "TanaNari, Verified Dick" our beloved author approaches the titilating conclusion of Amelia, a tour de force of both speed and creativity. However, the Silence sudden appearance seems ready to destroy the originality of his ending. Has TanaNari been clockblocked by a fic he never read, or is everything still going according to plan?
Stay tuned next update for the exciting new development of Amelia, which will make or break the Darkest Fix-Fic ever seen!

No pressure TanaNari!

Spoiler

My money is with "all according to plan".

 

Clarice: I can do it with pine needles.

So... Canon Worm, then?

What? Try again? Use English this time?

... You. Fucking. Bastard.

*shrugs* Oh well. Live by the Troll, die by the Troll.



In all seriousness, though. I know what the Ending is, and have for the longest time. I think it's good enough to live up to the hype. *AS LONG AS* the writing is solid enough to make it work.

I still reserve the right to be nervous that I've gotten this far and risk fucking it at the last possible moment.

 

Well.....that was totally expected.

Actually, i'm predicting Taylia shanks Scion from behind, dragon had a backup on a 72 hour delay and Lisa had planned for all this all along

 

Even if you do fuck it up, you will learn from it and your next work won't suffer from the same mistake.

If it wasn't for the shards actively preventing space travel (I can provide a WoG on this), I would say that they did a clever thing by sending Dragon and a bunch of backups into space.

Granted that, theoretically, they could get around this by having an AI that lacks a passenger be the one that pilots the ship, rather than Dragon herself, and leave Dragon in a housing that isn't powered on.

 

Hey, we already got prediction from Dinah that Taylor and Amelia will separate somehow and splitting the Pantheon.

Maybe....?

Oh God, the darkest ending isn't fucking Scion in the ass, it's Taylor and Amelia divorced through spacewhale power.

 

Dinah can't predict Taylia, Dinah can't predict Scion. Dinah definitely can't predict Taylia as an Entity.

OTOH, Taylor and Amelia can split off into an Entity pair, and drag the rest of the Pantheon-turned-Shard people with them?

 

It would be the difference between your hand getting destroyed by being burned by a very hot thing, or a transcendentally hot thing. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Past a point, pain is pain and depressing is depressing.The only way to really be more depressing is... Heh. I'll hold on to that one.

Kinda. I was hoping for better more horrific, honestly. Doing a fleshmerge with the Eden-corpse is the muffin easy button for body-horror in this setting.

Either way I have been entertained and will definitely be waiting for the last bit.

 

Meh, I'm in the camp of shouting gleefullly while the world goes to sith around me

dude spoilers!

You left out the part where their original bodies were converted into endbringer zombie goop, first. Honestly, man.

 

Yeah. The horrific part is more subtle. Notice how no one's even reacted to "it's just a body transplant".

Body horror has become so par for the course in this story that the audience doesn't even blink anymore.

That's the horrific part.

Not quite as horrific as all the people who were afraid to leave the concentration camps after they were rescued, because they'd gotten so used to the horrors that they couldn't imagine life in the normal world anymore.

But that was real life. Horror, much like comedy, is amplified exponentially when it happens to real people.


Drama and romance, strangely enough, are actually less interesting in real life than in fiction.

 

It did. I'm not sure just how believable it was (since it seems to me like Coil's power shouldn't be able to predict both Scion and a new/replacement/whatever entity), but it was still a pretty good read.

And then the fic died, but that's just how it goes usually.

 

I was kind of expecting them to go that route themselves if things had dragged on any longer. Ditch the armor and just copy their minds into "combat bodies"

I blame Eclipse Phase.

The Endbringer goop bodies were worse than merging with Eden. I had been half expecting Amelia to use Taylor as a vector to parasitically infest Scion and kill him from within.

 

No, I already did that with HCtBB



As for this chapter: yeah, I actually said, "Well, fuck me rigid" out loud.
