Empress Ascendant is a Worm/Warhammer 40,000 crossover fanfic by Unruly Marmite on FanFiction.Net. It can also be read here on Archive of Our Own. The first chapter was posted on May 12, 2017.Summary: The Emperor wasn't sure how he ended up in a different universe, or what the parasite leeching off Humanity was. He had never even considered the thought of having a successor. But someone had to save humanity, and he wasn't in a fit state to try.Besides, if the Eldar Phoenix Lords could do it, how hard could it be?

He then realizes what he just did, and everyone in the room gets very tense until Dragon confirms that the last sighting of the Nine was in Missouri.

More than Mind Control: The reason why Taylor's psychic suggestion to Danny not to pay attention to anything too unusual goes so far as to keep him from noticing anything unusual? He was already trying to ignore strange things on his own, and it's feeding on that mentality.

Clone Degeneration: Taylor's augmented physiology makes her Noelle clones particularly prone to this. Luna, the first Taylor Noelle clone, mainly avoids this because the Queen Administrator Shard jumped ship to her, giving her Taylor's canon powers.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Taylor using her psychic powers so her father would not pay attention to anything too unusual end up rendering him completely unable to even speak of anything that is not ordinary. Taylor is naturally horrified when she realizes this. Taylor threw so much Warp energy around during the first Noelle fight that Luna is able to use it to heal herself enough to get Taylor's staff out of her.

Ignored Epiphany
 Empress Ascendant (Fanfic) / int_9053903
comment
Ignored Epiphany: This is a key part of why the Emperor hates the Craftworld Eldar so much. Their sheer depravity brought forth a Chaos God that consumes the souls of every Eldar it can grab, dooming trillions of Eldar in the process, Slaanesh's birth also bringing forth the Eye of Terror... and after they fled the galaxy for the Webway and returned, didn't even try to help or make reparations. Instead of learning anything beyond that they shouldn't engage in the kind of excesses that birthed Slaanesh, something that the Emperor deems obvious to anyone with a remotely functioning moral compass, they continued to act as if they were unimpeachable, dooming millions and billions to save a few Eldar. The key point is when he tells Taylor about the plan to create Ynnead, which hadn't come about at the time the Emperor had been cast to Earth-Bet... which Taylor summarizes as the dumbest idea that she'd ever heard of, and basically a repeat of the events that birthed Slaanesh.
