''Don't Do Brains!'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' canon divergence fanfic by [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/members/idiom-alpha.389007/ Idiom Alpha]] where Panacea's attempts to cure Glory Girl go [[UpToEleven even worse]] than they did in canon when she decides to [[BrainTransplant move]] Vicky's brain into Tattletale's body. Nobody, including Amy, is happy about how this turns out.

!! This fic provides examples of:
* AdultFear: Even if Victoria survives everything else and makes it home, her new body and Carol's trust issues will destroy their relationship.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After her DyingMomentOfAwesome and a final farewell to her friends, Tattletale's last few seconds are spent crying and begging Amy not to kill her.
* AndIMustScream: Par for the course when you manage to genuinely piss off [[GrandTheftMe Regent]].
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:After waking up, Grue blindsides Amy and steals her powers to free the other Undersiders from her control]].
* ConfusionFu: The fact that Victoria isn't using her own body [[spoiler:or powers]] makes her impossible for [[spoiler:Jack]] to read, allowing her to kill him.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: WordOfGod [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/dont-do-brains-worm-panacea-canon-divergence.661542/page-20#post-49062235 explains]] how everything Tattletale said before Amy killed her was carefully calculated to ensure she spared the other Undersiders and reversed the MindRape she had pulled on Victoria.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At the shelter, Aisha decides to indulge her artistic side:
--> Imp started carving elaborately crude graffiti on the walls near me, with lots of arrows and, uh, phallic imagery. It took an embarrassing amount of time for me to realize that all the graffiti was pointing at me, and that taken together it spelled out 'beware of crazy bitch'.
* MoralEventHorizon: Every character, including Amy herself, agrees Amy crossed it at some point, but they don't all agree on when.
* NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters: Amy and Victoria are both surprised to find out the Undersiders fall into this category.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Out of all the changes Amy made to the Undersiders' brains, the only one motivated purely by a desire to help the person she was affecting was when she restored Regent's ability to feel emotions. It was also pretty much the cruelest thing anyone could have done to him.
* NotSoStoic: Taylor breaks down in tears when she thinks Victoria is lying to her about [[spoiler:Lisa still being "alive" in her head]], severely freaking out Amy.
-->I could hear someone crying, and was startled by the realization that it was ''Skitter''. I'd never heard her cry before. Not even after Leviathan.
* PoorCommunicationKills: If Amy had known that Tattletale's attempt to offer Victoria "water" was a lie intended to let Amy touch her, the entire plot would have been avoided.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Victoria tries to do this to prove she's in contact with [[spoiler:Lisa]], but [[spoiler:Taylor]] assumes she's just using Tattletale's power.
* SomethingTheyWouldNeverSay: Victoria's first attempt to impersonate Tattletale almost blows up in her face because she talks like a stereotypical Bond villain instead of a sixteen-year-old smartass.
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: One of the most common criticisms of the story is that Tattletale should have just shot Amy without warning instead of ordering the other Undersiders to attack her.
