For those unfamiliar with Mauling Snarks, it's a 1.5m word Worm fic where the basic set-up of shards is a bit better - rather than driving their hosts to conflict, they're pushed to use their powers, preferably new ways. Taylor Hebert's shard is budded off from that of her Uncle Jacob, letting her project blunt impacts and, perhaps more importantly, to talk to shards - aka 'snarks'.
The story covers a year in close detail, as the plot unfolds of Taylor gradually pushing back boundaries and (sometimes inadvertantly) solving problems for people. It is possible to miss the plot as Taylor also handles such day to day issues as painting a room, painting a bus, going on vacation, taking over the Wards, becoming the most feared and respected Parahuman on the planet and making friends.
