Denial is a Worm fanfic written by Nara'la. It was originally created on September 10th, 2018.

Summary
The official summary of the fic, provided by the author, is:"When a butterfly flaps its wings in China, it can cause a hurricane in Mexico. So, what happens if a Lung flaps its wings, trips and knocks itself out in Brockton Bay, right at the feet of an unpowered Taylor Hebert? Well, apparently, it leads to everyone across the US believing she’s a Parahuman, no matter how much she tries to convince them otherwise."When Taylor ends up defeating Lung, by sheer luck, she is thrusted into the world of capes, where no matter what she says or does, everyone belives she is a parahuman.

The few people who actually know she is not a parahuman are either prevented from acting or choose not to, reinforcing the belief that Taylor is a parahuman.
