Anything Like "Miss Hebert Goes to Baltimore" but without the disgusting Sophia subplot?
Please forgive the essay.
Started reading this fic a few months ago and I really enjoyed the premise- the bank heist goes wrong somehow, and the Undersiders are arrested and sent to different Ward programs across the country, with Taylor going... well, guess where. Anyway, because Taylor hasn't really done much at that point, she's still relatively innocent and idealistic, so instead of seeing her as a ruthless evil monster, she's seen as a lonely, misguided teenager and given a cool and supportive cast of peers and an admin that actually cares about her well-being.
Cue the fic immediately throwing in the single most vile Sophia gets consequences plot I have ever seen. Hell, consequences isn't even the right word. It's just... so over the line it's not even absurd, just gross. The fic got taken down shortly after I started reading that part, but from what I gather it got so, so much worse.
Most fics have Taylor immediately join the BB wards or just go with New York, Boston or Chicago, so Baltimore was interesting to see, and Bank Heist-era Taylor is a really interesting snapshot of her character that I feel doesn't really get explored enough. This is a kid who was so lonely she gaslit herself into being a supervillain, while convincing herself that she was totally going to turn on them and be a hero in the end.
TDLR- I loved the idea of still-innocent not-quite-full-villain Taylor getting her redemption arc in a city we didn't see in canon, but I was extremely put off by an extremely unhinged and gross torture plot with Sophia. Is there anything out there with a similar vibe- without the weird communist brainwash cult?
