Who wants to help me find a lost Wordgirl FanFic???

Story Time! So back in sophomore year, is when I really started getting into Wordgirl. Lol not when I was a little kid, no I was a high schooler. (I had seen Wordgirl as a kid and enjoyed it, but sophomore year was the start of my obsession—why am I sharing this, it’s not relevant…) And I found an amazing Wordgirl FanFic on fanfiction.net. I was completely hooked. I binge read the first few chapters and couldn’t stop! I knew I was gonna be up all night reading this story!

And then I had my very first panic attack. Panic attacks are scary in general, but when it’s your first one, and you have no idea what’s happening or what a panic attack is, it’s extra terrifying. I thought I was dying. After my mom explained what it was, I decided to read the rest of the fanfic later. I thought that because I was reading the fanfic at the time, that that must have been what caused it. Like it was too scary or stressful for me or something (it was an oddly serious fanfic, especially compared to its light-hearted original show) and when I realized that it didn’t cause the first one, I was scared that reading it again would cause another panic attack because at that point I associated the story with having a panic attack. So I decided to put off reading it again. Five years later, not only have I not gotten around to reading it again, I have completely forgotten the fanfic title, and have tried to find it on my own, but with no luck. So I’m hoping if I describe what I remember, someone will recognize it. Now I read a lot of Wordgirl fanfics at the time, so it’s possible that I’m mixing up some of these details with other fanfics, but most of them should be correct

Like I said, it’s been five years since I read this, so at the very least the fanfic is that old. And again, it was a very seriously toned story. It involved Becky as a teenager, she is no longer Wordgirl, she’s moved to another city with her family, and her parents got divorced I remember some comment about even the most perfect families can fall apart or something like that to justify Mr. and Mrs. Botsford getting a divorce. Her and her dad take a trip back to the city, to find that it’s basically a horrific dystopia. I forget which villain exactly took over, but pretty much all the other villains were working for them. Becky eventually runs into Violet, Scoops, and Tobey and learns they’ve created a resistance and are trying to fight whichever villain had taken over. I remember Lady Redundant Woman was something of the police force of the city, and I don’t know what the Butcher’s role was, but I remember Tobey or somebody saying something along the lines of “we have to be careful, otherwise she’ll get caught and taken to the Butcher!” so in all honesty, I was very concerned as to what his role was. I remember Tobey, Scoops, and Violet all knew Becky was Wordgirl, something about it being obvious before she left because she was so stressed out or something and you could see the stress in Becky as much as you could see it in Wordgirl. And once they ran into Becky they asked her to join their force as Wordgirl to help. Last I remember, they tried to capture Dr. Two Brains to interrogate him. (the more I’m remembering, the more I want to remember which villain had taken over because it’s clearly not Tobey, Two Brains or the Butcher and honestly those seem like the most likely candidates). I also remember the author writing the name of a song to look up that fit the feeling of the chapter. Though of all the memories I think I might be mixing up with another fanfic, this is the one I think I’m most likely mixing up (but hey, if it is different, and you happen to find that fanfic, let me know, because honestly I remember really enjoying the music chosen for each chapter). I also remember the story being rated T (which probably doesn’t come as a shock)

That’s all I remember at the moment, I’ll edit the post if I think of some more details.
