A Multiverse Fanfic setting initially created by Diane Castle but since transformed into a Shared Universe in the wake of a groundswell of Recursive Fanfiction written first for one of its universes, The Teraverse, then spilling out into the other 'verses touched on by the setting.

The Brane[1], as it is called first appeared in Castle's story The League of Extraordinary Women (published between November 2011 and April 2012). In it, Hermione Granger summons Samantha Carter, Selina Kyle, Jaime Sommers, Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg, and Alex Mack to help face the invasion of her version of Earth by an army of demons led by a demon princess named D'Lazza.

Tropes used in A Brane of Extraordinary Women include:
  • Recursive Fanfiction: Not only did the Brane expand by inspiring other authors to write within its setting, it itself is recursive fic, as the version of Selina "Catwoman" Kyle it uses is not the canon version direct from the pages of Batman comics, but the version who appears in the Cat Tales fanfic series by Chris Dee.
