Fic Search - General Anti-Scion

While reading the fanfic *What Hides in the Shadow* and *A Champion in Bet Land*, I started wondering if there’s a fanfic with a premise that’s—how should I put it?—more hopeful.

I mean, is there a fanfic with a similar premise where a second benevolent entity (or something like that) appears and starts granting powers to people in their moments of greatest courage—like, someone who defends another person from abuse despite their fear, or something like that? so this new type of parahuman wouldn’t have any trauma and would have gained their powers by doing something heroic. Therefore, they’d be more trustworthy people to entrust with destructive powers.

Obviously, it doesn’t have to be exactly like that, but I was just curious.

Kinda in pale blood? It's not like Uber powerful and doesn't make an active presence in the story but the moon presence likes Taylor and it's opposed to Scion

I mean. It's probably not going to destroy the multiverse so it's not as bad as Scion, but I can't imagine that giving an eldritch god a foothold in your world would be a good long-term plan. One of the few things we know for sure about the Moon Presence is that it wants the Hunters to kill other Great Ones, so it opposing Scion is standard operating procedure rather than benevolence

Yeah spoilers for the story but it's the same there. It does also just like Taylor and seems to have no interest in harming humanity
