Worm Fanfiction Doctor Who

Okay, picture this: you're making your favorite mac and cheese. You've got your pasta, your cheese sauce... and then you think, "Hey, what if I added bacon? Or hot sauce? Or... everything? " That, my friends, is basically what Worm fanfiction with a Doctor Who twist is all about. Taking something familiar and adding a delightfully chaotic spin.

But first, a little background. Worm, by Wildbow, is a superhero web serial. Think gritty, morally grey, and with a protagonist, Taylor Hebert, who isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. She gets powers, but her journey is less "saving the world" and more "surviving it... maybe ethically, maybe not."

Doctor Who, on the other hand? Well, you probably know Doctor Who. Time travel, sonic screwdrivers, and saving the universe from Daleks and other generally grumpy aliens. Usually with a smile and a witty remark.

So, Why Mash 'Em Up?

That's where the fun begins. Why combine these two seemingly different universes? Well, because it's awesome, obviously! But also, because the contrast creates some seriously compelling stories.

Imagine the Doctor landing in Brockton Bay, the perpetually gloomy city from Worm. He's used to aliens trying to conquer planets, but he's probably not used to the nuanced, messed-up world of parahumans and the sheer amount of trauma swirling around. It's like he accidentally stepped into the grittiest, rainiest superhero comic ever made.

Think about it. The Doctor, all optimistic and ready to help, confronted with the morally ambiguous choices Taylor has to make. It's a clash of ideologies, a battle between hope and pragmatism. It's a recipe for excellent drama and maybe a little existential crisis for everyone involved.

And Taylor? She's used to dealing with backstabbing allies and impossible situations. Suddenly, a quirky alien shows up offering a way out, a chance to see the universe. Does she trust him? Does she even want to leave behind the mess she's made? These are the questions that these fanfics explore.

What Makes It So Good?

The beauty of Worm/Doctor Who crossovers is the potential for character development. It forces characters to confront their beliefs and adapt to utterly alien (pun intended!) circumstances. We get to see Taylor, usually stuck in her own head and city, interact with beings from across time and space. We get to see the Doctor, usually so confident, grapple with the complex morality of Worm's world.

It's also about the "what if?" factor. What if Taylor got ahold of a sonic screwdriver? What if the Doctor met Scion, the source of all powers in Worm? What if the TARDIS landed in the middle of a Leviathan attack? The possibilities are endless, and that's what makes it so exciting.

It’s like when you accidentally spill a little bit of your coffee into your orange juice. Sounds awful, right? But sometimes, that weird combination creates something surprisingly interesting, a new flavor you never expected.

Why Should You Care?

Even if you're not a die-hard fan of either Worm or Doctor Who, these fanfics can be surprisingly accessible. They offer fresh perspectives on familiar characters and explore interesting themes like morality, responsibility, and the consequences of power. It's like watching a buddy cop movie where one cop is a traumatized teenager with bug powers and the other is a centuries-old alien with a time machine.

Plus, it's a gateway into a whole community of creative writers and readers. Fanfiction is all about sharing stories and connecting with others who love the same things you do. It's like joining a book club where everyone gets to contribute to the plot.

So, next time you're looking for something a little different, a little weird, and a whole lot of fun, give Worm/Doctor Who fanfiction a try. You might just discover your new favorite flavor combination. Just be prepared for some existential pondering alongside the time travel and superhero action. Trust me, it's worth it. You might even find yourself saying, "Geronimo, let's fight crime... with bugs!"
