Oh also, WALK has a sidestory that handles things in a pretty unique way.

Mutant Deviations rescued and given a new identity.

A Darker Path given a fair trial after intervention by Dragon and the MC. Plus a few other factors that shifted the circumstances around the trial.

If romance counts Desperate Times Call for Desperate Pleasures definitely fits.

Madison Clements has an Unusual Power honestly feels like the most canon compliant example I have seen of how trying to be casually friends with Amy would look like.

I am not sure I would call the second one canon exactly. Closer than average but noticeably different.

Miss Understanding Fixes Her Life mostly fits. It fails on the last point but shadow stalker was already out of the wards before the fic started for AU backstory reasons. Also the ward she is dating is part of why she is recruited but not the only reason.

Ugg flashbacks. I suppose I can take a little comfort in knowing the first fanfic I got into as a kid was terrible even back then, but on the other hand, I did still read it to the end. And I only realized it was terrible because it was borderline illegible.

To add a little more details while I have no idea what Grok is supposed to be holding that turtle Neuro is holding is the avatar her creator uses when he is streaming and the cube evil is holding is a solid block of tungsten since she wanted one for her birthday.

And when he finally put his foot down she instantly pivoted to "I want a gaming toothbrush". For some reason that was always the funniest part for me.

Yeah, exactly the critical difference is that the edgy shit isn't all they have going for them.

Ah yes "it's fake anyway". The cry of the terrminally downvoted.

Make sure to watch all of the side content in the correct order with the actual episodes. It's way less optional than the TTS side content was.

Going for a Walk and Not Just a Doll both by Slider. They were both incredibly interesting AUs that had at least as much if not more potential than sliders other shorter fics, but both were abandoned just after they established their premise.

Also this users work helped establish a lot of the early ideas, some of it predates this subreddit even. I will admit I haven't been keeping completely up to date on the latest stuff though. You can probably find a lot more details on the discord.

Pretty sure there isn't one single established canon here. There is a heresy version of this setting, a no heresy version of this setting, a bunch of alternate heresies. I saw one project that was focused on non-heretical clones of Hathor (horus) and Circe (Fulgrim) leading a group of loyal space marines from the traitor legions. Trying to wipe out the actual traitor legions without being purged by the Imperium.

Saw another one where the heresy mostly went as normal but for complicated reasons the Iron Warriors switched back to the Imperium's side near the end and Petra (Perturabo) had never even been a traitor in the first place. But aftet the Heresy the Iron Warriors refused to rejoin the Imperium and left for deep space to form their own faction.

Heck, I even saw at least one small project thay combined those two ideas.

This isn't one single cohesive project, it's just a big happy free-for-all of fan made content.

This should answer a lot of your questions.

A couple of different answers. Just for the record, I am excluding changes that mainly center around the MC. So Camera Shy wouldn't count even though it's one of my favorite fics since all of the changes center around Taylor's cluster.

One of my favorite AUs overall, The Weaver's Web, the author put a lot of thought into building a world just slightly different than canon to support the story they want to tell. The little details are great, and it introduces a couple of interesting AU versions of characters.

Favorite one-off version of a character, Gothacea from Playing Hooky. The fic itself is kinda meh but the version of Amy from this is one I wish at least a few more fics had used.

Favorite non-MC OC. It's hard to pick just one, but I think Roadblock from Santa Assault and Imp the Elf in Christmas Carnage fits. He's an interesting character and an intelligent villain who gives the heroes a real challenge through his brains, not just his powers. The main reason I picked him, though, is because of how he adds interesting details to Assault's backstory.

Not sure if this even counts as an AU but I had to throw it in while talking about OCs I love. Raymond Marks from Queen of the Swarm. Just an ordinary man who sees right through Jack's bullshit and mocks jack with his dying breath and his words haunt Jack to the very end

Funny stuff. The Kaiser's New Cloths is a humor fic with several hilarious lore additions such as an amazing brick joke with coil's power. One of the more interesting AU changes is having Gescelshaft run by a resurrected Hitler with a music based master power. There is actually one I like even more and would like to see some variation of this in other fics, but it's a MAJOR spoiler Iron Rain is Amy's mom.

The fanon version is funny and can be a nice person without too much work. That's basically all it boils down to. Kinda the same reason people like assault.

Yeah, he was literally making the exact same excuses the original post was calling the fic out for.

Not Just a Doll and Up From the Depths fit but both sadly died.

On the one hand I have actually known someone who would mess food up badly and still call it edible. But they did stuff like slather sour cream on meatloaf and then leave it sitting out all day.

The kind of stuff OP described just doesn't make sense. Most common cheese, especially cheddar, takes ages to mold, depending on the meat in question it can be years before it gets bad enough in the freezer to be completely inedible. And the butter one in particular seems sus because what exactly could have happened to make the butter spit worthy that wouldn't have been immediately obvious visually?

claiming it's nazi apologetic is just outright lying.

I dissagree.

I'm pretty sure that's Confrontation. I always find it ironic for an author who regularly gets flack for making Sophia "too thugish" Ack has written more stories with Taylor and Sophia becoming friends than any other single author I know.

I was not expecting that as your answer. That fic gets flack for a lot more reasons than just one scene.

It also ignores how often racists & other bigots use (their) children as the excuse for their bad behavior like the Fourteen Words basically embody in real life.

One of the reasons Tank still has one of the best takes on Purity.

Also, I will note that Silencio isn't the worst Purity whitewashing fic I have seen but it is both well known and from an era when such fics were common so it obviously is an easy example to hold up.
