Actually, that reminded me of the other cracky fix-it I came up with. Sarah Livsey gets a broken Shard; instead of conflict drive, it has a conflict resolution drive. However, Sarah/Lisa is even more of a little shit here than in canon, for Mentally Ill Reasons, so once she escapes her parents she sets up as an independent villain(?) aiming to verbally destroy the lives and psyches of every powerful parahuman in the Bay.
(You want to see what driving someone to suicide really looks like? Fine! I'll fucking show you!)
However, "powerful parahumans" means a lot more villains than heroes. Her first target is Bakuda, and it goes something like 0:35 to 1:26 of this:

(except Lisa is genuinely trying to insult Bakuda.)
It turns into one of those [Character] Gives Everyone Therapy fix-its, except Lisa is completely furious that her villainous rampage keeps accidentally making parahumans' lives better. At least until her own mental stability improves, thanks in part to the capes she's accidentally befriended.
And, much as my Lisa has Mentally Ill Motives, this helped me hit on my favourite way to characterise her in humour fics: "It's a beautiful day in Brockton Bay, and you are a horrible Thinker".
