Five years since the Invasion of Naboo, and Darth Vader took the timeline by storm. The Republic's stability frays by the day as systems prepare for when it might fail and fall. The Jedi and the Sith remain at "peace," as both Orders grow and adapt in these uncertain times. But there will be many enemies for the Galaxy to face, beyond the Light and Dark. Part 2 of Vaderline

I played video games so much that my own life became a game! Why did I receive this power? And why do I have a quest whose failure penalty is the destruction of the universe? A slow boil adventure, DO NOT READ THIS STORY if you are expecting an emotionless grinding murder hobo.

He's not involved with The Straw Hats. He's not involved with the story. He's half a world away from all that insanity and quite frankly...he's fine with that. Gamer Fic. Semi-SI.

By the end of the Third Shinobi War, she gained a spot in most Bingo Books with various monikers attached to her name: "Poison Apple," "Bloody Princess," and "The Mad Butcher." However, a small handful of Leaf ninja had another moniker for her: "The Bloody Oracle of Kiri". (Or: An SI/OC who's already got a screwed up moral compass and fits right in with the Bloody Mist.)

When a 12 year old Shirou finds himself in another world with no explanation how he got there, he knew he was in trouble. The fact that he woke up in a cage, a Slave Crest on his chest and odd new additions to his body underscored this fact. Naofumi, the disgraced Shield Hero, did not care about any of that. He just needed these two raccoon demi-humans to be able to fight. AU.

Getting the [Boosted Gear] is expected for Issei. What if he gained it a month early and another one as well? Let the Games Begin... IsseiXHarem (if it wasn't, it wouldn't be DXD). Now has a TVTropes page!

After a near death experience, and meeting a certain Youkai sage, Hailey Potter, the girl who lived, finds a new family in the mysterious residents of the Yakumo household. Hogwarts is not ready for this new breed of Snake, who cant even be called human anymore (Genderswaped Harry, because a male protag in a touhou story is ridiculous, they don't even look good in floppy hats!)

He promised to be a Hero capable of saving everyone. But before that he made other promises he can't remember under a different name. How will Shirou react when he finds his lost past? - Shirou/Multi Mature Contents.

Taylor Triggers with the power of Hydrokinesis. She will wash away those who stand before her. Alt!Power! Taylor. Worm belongs to Wildbow. TaylorxLisaxAmy. Now has a TVTropes Page!

In this version, There was no Momonga, in this world, Susuki Satoru, was born a "SHE", making the history of Ainz Ooal Gown, more different and more impactful in the world of YGGDRASIL. Follow the demon Empress, in a new world, where she would have to act the way a supreme being has to, even thought she had not idea of what the hell is going on and make things as she goes along.

Shirou had always been an odd child. Chasing a past he couldn't have lived through, yearning for dreams he couldn't have had and missing people he couldn't have known — Kōsetsu Shirou struggles in vain to navigate a world where the supernatural is natural. Some mysteries, however, are beyond even the Devil's grasp; Truly, reincarnation is the greatest of punishments.

Issei Hyoudou is the Sekiryutei. Not many people knew how powerful he is, or what he's done. And he's perfectly fine with that. He's done with people. All he wants to do is sit back, relax, and watch porn without being bothered by school or homework or devils or fallen angels or annoying conspiracies and why the hell won't they just leave him alone already! Perv OP Issei Harem.

So, dying sucks, but hey, I get a chance at reincarnation with a special power, and that power is 'The Gamer' so that's awesome! But... I'm being reincarnated into the world of Naruto, where giant chakra beasts can nuke you, crazy Uchiha roam who want to rule the world with the power of the moon, a guy who thinks he's a god wants to 'share his pain'. Yup, I am going to die again...

"I don't want to kill anyone. I don't like bullies; I don't care where they're from." -Steve Rogers. A man out of time, thrown into a strange new world does what he does best. Stands up to bullies and protect those who can't protect themselves. Or how a single man at the right place and the right time can save an entire nation.

"At least the other clan kids of the series had something to protect themselves with practically from birth. Sakura was blessed with the oh so helpful gift of a larger than average forehead." The remedy is often worse than the disease it cures. I refused to be that remedy. OC-insert as Sakura Semi-AU (OLD VER - BEING REWRITTEN)

Bilbo Baggins wondered what Gandalf was thinking. Oh well, Bag End would sort him out. His house did NOT approve of vandalism, thank you very much. That rune carved into his door learned it personally. Besides, it served the wizard right for not heeding the rumors about Bilbo and the Old Forest.

It's time to stop waiting for other people to save you. A story about fear, resilience, and Sakura.

A more mature, knowledgeable and motivated Harry Potter goes to school. His fated encounter with Hermione Granger comes sooner as they share a compartment aboard the Hogwarts' Express during their first journey to school. With greater self-confidence, the muggle-born and halfblood will start the long needed reformation of the magical world, hand in hand. HP/HG/DG/LL/OC

"A new overlady, you say? She's a little short, although her temper is impressively vile. Oh well. Needs must when needs must. Too long have the lands of Halkeginia gone without true Evil. There are fluffy bunnies and happy ponies all over the place, frolicking! It makes me quite sick! No, it doesn't matter if she wants to or not. Because Evil always finds a way."

The most patient and merciful of Gods only offers so many chances. After that, we swim the flood on our own. Till the End of Time Novelization...with the Poet's personal touch. In progress. So it took two more years because I almost died of cancer but NEW UPDATE posted 7/23, and the next in he works!

When Ranma finds his consciousness back in his six-year-old self, he leaps from the Neko-ken training pit a changed boy and elects to free himself from the life his father intends for him. What happens when the Wild Horse bolts the stable and goes off-plan? (Uses the Ranma Restart Premise, may eventually be RanmaXHarem but more organic/slow burn)

The Sunlight scripture's desperate weapon was not an angel, it was a race change item. Ainz's humanity is restored... and that's a problem. The butterfly effect results in many changes. Some die who lived, some lived who die, but still the will of Nazarick in this retelling, will not be denied. His level cap shattered and his humanity intact, what happens? Read on and see.

Ilya likes to play video games, and in the time she has remaining, Shirou is more than willing to play the new VR game with her. But when they are trapped inside the game, [Sword Art Online], they determine something even more distressing: Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a Magus.

Two and a half well intentioned fools find themselves in the Worm Universe, gifted by Abaddon. In their attempts to save some, they may just doom all. SI based on the Worm CYOA Update Gimel.

Jaune Arc hated dying. This is an odd state of being for one to state they hated, as dying happens only but once. Twice maybe if you're lucky. Then again, you aren't the universe's chew toy either... Jaune x Harem. Rated M for swearing, gore, sexual themes and terrible jokes.

The Force often works in strange ways. That was never truer when Darth Vader, not Anakin Skywalker, found himself on Naboo during the Trade Federation occupation. How is the Republic to react to a Sith Lord that has committed no crime and is aiding Queen Amidala? And did I mention Vader wasn't the only one brought along the ride? No, it's not Luke or Leia. Part 1 of Vaderline

Harry felt he had lost his chance at family after watching Sirius fly away only for his godfather to show up during the summer. Sirius teaches Harry what he needs to know, helping him become the true Lord Potter. Then the Tri-Wiz comes and the deepest, darkest secret of the Marauders is revealed - Harry was born the daughter of Lily and Sirius. Eventual Fem!HarryxTonks

[***MOVED***] A woman from our world dies and then wakes up as an Uchiha brat. Cue freakout and gleeful ripping canon to shreds. Featuring whole Naruto Cast and a sprinkle of OCs. AU, Self-Insert, Fix-It. (And a lot of Canon-Breaking. It's degree of crackishness varies from chapter to chapter, from something fully serious to downright parody at times.)

Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain. That phrase defined him since the day of his birth. However, the words of a certain magus allowed him to finally break free from the shackles that made him Shirou Emiya. The counterforce would not acknowledge the contract of a man who didn't exist, so where else could he go, other than back to the beginning?

You made a mistake, shishō. If it was Naruto, he might have made peace with it. It's people like me, who keeps wanting more, doesn't know when to make peace, can't make peace. Can't live with being the only one alive. Can't handle being left behind even in death. This is no last stand. This is selfishness. Sakura-centric Time Travel where for once, Team 7 chases Sakura.

Sakura grows up in a shinobi household. Haunted by a broken father, she ends up on Team 7 a different person.

The presence of a foreign soul may have unexpected side effects on a growing child. I am Lord Volde...Harry Potter. I'm Harry Potter. In which Harry is insane, Hermione is a Dark Lady-in-training, Ginny is a minion, and Ron is confused.

All they wanted was a normal school year and now they're willing to fight for it. An alternative take on the Trio's fourth year.

The story of a man who just really wishes death would let him be. He tried once. Lived a wonderful life, died at a ripe old age. Yet once more he lives in the body of a young child. Time has torn his life's work away, and his only skills are ones from a time long past. Lost, he stumbles upon a game he recognizes. He asks himself… why be a King when you can be a God? (Contains smut)

Illya had wanted to summon the greatest of the Greek Heroes for the Fifth Heaven's Feel, instead she got a Berserker who retained his mind and calls her Illya-hime. What kind of change can Naruto bring to Fate under the Berserker class?

Hell starts out as remarkably like a particularly stormy Midway. It gets worse... and better.

It was a sad day for the Emiya family. Years of failures leaves Shirou helpless as he watches Ilya waste away. Yet, on Ilya's final days the impossible happens. Through the manipulations of a nutty vampire and a legendary book, the Emiya family is taken to another world. Branded a hero Shirou must save Ilya and this new world, or die trying. Typical Monday am I right?

The new neighbour over the street at Privet Drive number five seems pretty normal, but not Privet Drive normal. But is anyone with the power of the gamer ever even remotely normal? No bleeding way.

A random guy finds himself in an unusual place, in an unusual time and in a VERY unusual body. Recognizing the chance that he is given and the fate that now rests on his (annoyingly small) shoulders, he tries to go through life simply doing the best he can. But can destiny be truly changed by the actions of one man (especially since he's not a Skywalker)? Only time will tell...

Lies have power. They can change a simple-minded believer into a two-faced schemer and a timid follower into a fanatical devotee. They can change a child angry at the world into a man consumed by more than vengeance. But that power is a lie as well.

On a night like tonight, Rin always liked to see things proceeding as planned. She would summon Saber, they would get along perfectly, and they would obliterate the competition and win the Grail in three days. She would be in control, composed, and satisfied with the results. As usual with Rin Tohsaka, results never cooperated with her desires.

The sun rises over Brockton Bay.

After a series of unfortunate events and the aquaintence of an old friend, the world of High School DxD faces its newest Gamer. Conquest and sexy harems follow Kano, the Gamer of Glass. Lemons apply.

The Tinkertech Superweapon used in the Golden Morning malfunctions. Defiant is caught in the blast and sent back to his days as Armsmaster. Does he have what it takes to prepare for the apocalypse? Can he extricate Dragon from her chains? A Defiant Peggy-sue.

Louise didn't summon a dragon or a loser from another world. No, she summoned a girl from across the yard. How humiliating! But why is Tabitha agreeing to be her familiar? And how many teenage girls does it take to destabilise a geopolitical region anyway?

Centuries after the Fall…a new band of senshi must come together. Some of them are new faces. Others are old friends, reborn yet again. But all of them are in trouble—because the enemy that destroyed Crystal Tokyo is out there, waiting for them…

The first Fate/Stay Night-Campione! crossover. A Heavens Feel Shirou finds that himself and Illya have been pulled into another world by a corrupted Grail. There his actions lead to him becoming the Eighth god killing Devil King. Now he has to deal with becoming someone who rules where he walks, even if he doesn't want to. That and trying to find a way back home.

[ABANDONED - SEE "Bring A Wand To A Knife-Gun Fight" FOR REWRITE] "To the well-organized mind, Death is but the next great adventure." When Harry wakes up in the world of Remnant, he quickly comes to the conclusion that he's either really bad at dying, or the best there ever was.

Being reincarnated as Harry Potter's fraternal twin sister really puts a new meaning behind "death is but the next great adventure." Grey!OC. -COMPLETED-

At the moment of transformation, when the connection was to be established and a young girl's life forever changed, the Red Shadow intervened, and the Administration shard became its tool on the path to human salvation. With the power of every hero ever immortalized in myth and legend, what can that girl do but be a hero herself? -A not-quite-crossover with FSN/Prisma Illya-

Taylor Hebert triggers with a very odd, if useful, set of powers. With the ability to summon the Toads of Mount Myoboku she enters the cape scene with both the aspirations to be a hero and the backing of a family. Based on the previous Toad summoners, she has a lot to live up too. Best get started….

Taylor doesn't get to control insects. Instead, she controls things that are slightly... smaller. Tinker/Master Taylor. Updates weekly, hopefully. Based more on fanon than canon.

Post-GM Taylor in Remnant. Taylor Hebert; villain, hero, monster, savior, Khepri. She awakens in a hospital in Vale. Where was she? What would she do? Who would she be? Hero or villain? Monster or Savior?

While attending the Academy, Sakura's field experience assignment with the Konohagakure Intelligence Division ends up being more valuable than she'd ever guess.

A hero more rust than man let loose in a galaxy of myriad grays, walking the familiar steps and seeking answers at the end of that long, winding road. (Editing ch26)

Lina Inverse reincarnates as Taylor Hebert. She has... opinions, about exactly how the world works.

It's easier to break than mend. And so, for everything she learned to heal, Sakura learned a thousand times to end.

Rather than be undergo a forced log out on the day YGGDRASIL's servers shut down, salary man Suzuki Satoru finds himself in the body of his avatar Momonga. Nazarick has been transported to a strange new land with a shattered moon hanging over head. The world is yours for the taking.

She had assumed it was her flamingo-printed shirt that was the problem. She had assumed wrong. (mod!fem!harry)

Many people wish their life were an RPG. And now Goku has that opportunity, too bad he doesn't even know what a video game is! Luckily with Bulma by his side our favorite Saiyan will go far! (Massive Game System change hence the separate story)

Under enough pressure, anything snaps. For a desperate girl, it happened sooner than expected, and her actions puts Zouken in a precarious position. A different fate ensues, one where Sakura and Shirou face the Fifth Holy Grail War better prepared.

Kusanagi Godou just wanted to have the quiet, peaceful life he didn't manage to get in his past world. But who was he kidding? When there was a Dungeon full of monsters, beautiful goddesses, and animal-girls, there was no way that was going to happen. Still, the Gods here were way more friendly than the Gods he'd met in the past. Maybe just a little too friendly.

{Version 3 - WiP} A retelling and exploration of Overlord. What if Ainz had the mind suggested by his god-tier stats, packaged with the emotional, human soul of Suzuki Satoru? What if Demiurge, Albedo, and Pandora's Actor were smarter than Maruyama gives them credit for? Enjoy!

Naruto Self-Insert. Just because you find yourself in Konoha doesn't mean you forget every other anime you've seen. [I'm sorry for the exposition dump. I've been trying for two years to figure out how to do it better but it just bogged down everything too much.]

With his final breath, he destroyed the Holy Grail. Devoid of purpose after discarding his ideals, he laid down to die. Through the work of fate Emiya Shirou does not die, but instead awakes in a new world. Now, he who no longer wishes to be a hero will have to forge his path once again in a world in need of heroes.

When asked, Bell said he was new to adventuring. That was more than enough reason for any Familia to turn him away. They were asking the wrong question. They really should've asked if he was any good at fighting. Or magic.

Skull was known as the Immortal Stuntman- 'the-man-whom-even-the-Grim-Reaper-Hated'. Ironic, really, considering Death's Mistress liked him enough to actually let him stay beneath her all-encompassing Sky. MoD!Harry, Fem!Harry, Grey!Harry

The Galaxy Far Far Away did not fall easily to the Entities. With their last breath, the survivors of that galaxy planted a seed of hope for any other worlds that might fall. Naturally, with Taylor Hebert's luck, that seed planted itself in her. A Star Wars/Worm Crossover.

When I sold my soul to the Devil, I thought I was prepared for anything. I wasn't. I didn't expect him to be a her. Or dressed up as a magical girl carrying a pink wand tipped with a cheerful yellow star. Her being a prankster however didn't come as much of a surprise. You know, the Bible would have been a whole lot more interesting if they included stuff like this. Complete AU

When the Dursleys die in a car crash, Dumbledore is left with a quandary as to where to place the Boy-Who-Lived. That is, until he remembers another relative of Lily's: a cousin in Japan. Rated M just be safe.

When Shirou destroyed the Grail, he wasn't expecting it to grant his wish anyways by turning into a rocket and spiriting him away. In a new world, filled with monsters called Grimm and superheroes called Huntsmen, he's finally able to pursue his dream to become a hero! Of course, Grail-kun isn't going to make it easy for him. Semi-serious Carnival Phantasm crossover!

We know the Drill. OC arrives at Kuoh and gets all the girls. That's this one. Except we're going full genderbending. We've got bumpin' uglies, 420 blaze it, shots, shots and more shots and an entirely new kind of canon to play around with while aforementioned OC fulfills our most gleeful fantasies. This is DxD at its full fanservice peak. Booyah!

Near the conclusion of the events of Heaven's Feel, the attempted destruction of the Great Holy Grail causes an unforeseen outcome that has led Shirou, Rin, Sakura, Illya and the servant Rider to be transported to a different dimension. How will they fare in a world filled with Grimm, Dust and Hunters?

When you put bunch of predators in one room and tell them to work together they do not roll over and listen to the order. They test both you and each other. They snarl, bite and scratch… They fight. With teeth and claws. Fem!Harry as Skull BAMF!Skull UST!Arcobaleno Crossposted with AO3

After a life-altering failure during the second year summoning ritual, Louise tries one last time alone and drags a certain blue-clad Lancer to her side.

Picture, if you will, a government that is just at the normal levels of incompetence, rather than the normal worm verse abject stupidity. A world where Queen Administrator really is a Queen, not a weird little Princess playing with bugs, from the start.

Whatever she expected when she triggered, it wasn't meeting a short white-haired girl or turning into a hyper-advanced technological platform. Of course when you're Taylor Hebert, things frequently don't go as planned.

"At that exact moment, Taylor Hebert connected to a vast alien entity. In most universes, she gets the power to control insects, in some, she gets a slightly different power. In this universe, in some cosmic case of wrong telephone number, Taylor connected to the wrong vast alien entity. In this universe, for a few seconds, Taylor Hebert connected to the Tyranid Hive Mind."

A continuation of the story begun in Getting Too Old For This. Harry Potter is back, and he is determined to use that whole 'Preparing for the Reaper War' thing as an excuse to cause as much trouble as he reasonably can. When enigmatic aliens from an unexplored region of space pop up and attack his latest home, he's got a new distraction. Rated 'M' for bad language and worse ideas.

He had grown cynical and just a bit bitter at the world but he'd long ago made peace with the ideals that once made him suffer. He was already satisfied with the existence he had ended up as... yet a certain brown haired master had decided that he deserved far more. So now an earnest wish from someone dear had lead to another chance at life and... maybe at happiness.

Thanks to a rogue asteroid hijacking Taylor's trigger event, she ends up trading her bug control for an entirely new set of powers: fabulous poses, musical references and bizarre adventures are in store for Brockton Bay's newest super heroine! Also Roundabout by Yes!

It wasn't supposed to be a self-insert, Greg was supposed to save the world. ...Or something like that. He lasted less than ten minutes with powers, so now I get to deal with it. Total crack, BTW.

Momonga left. The denizens of Nazarick grew mad with despair, and spread death and desolation into the New World. Twenty years later, humanity is on the verge of extinction. Into this hopeless situation, six heroes will rise. They are the Supreme Beings, players brought here from Yggdrasil Mk.2. What will Momonga and his friends see, in this twisted world remade by their children?

"Pain and Pleasure are the same, for those are the spice of life"-Taylor Hebert. Hero Name: Kiara Sessyoin.

No one knew him. His father was still alive. His Sharingan acted like it had always been his. Kakashi was twenty-two years in the past of a different world.

There was no one left. They had lost the war. Salem had destroyed Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo. Years later, Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss are all that remains of the Huntsmen. After losing to Salem in their third and final battle, the team escapes with their lives and decide to bet everything on Weiss's ability to send them back in time. Mystery Jaune pairing. Also, White-rose.

Kischur Zelretch Zweinorg is complicated guy. But we all know that he 'laughs at good and rages at evil'. And the latest target of his ire is an inter-dimensional parasite granting powers. To save the world from destruction, he will help Taylor Hebert get a chance to wield the powers of myths and legends. The problem? She has to win them all - in the Holy Grail War.

Three magic casters of unfathomable power enter the New World with Nazarick when, instead of Herohero, Tabula Smaragdina and Ulbert Alain Odle return for the end of Yggdrasil. More importantly, they can keep Albedo and Demiurge in line between terrorizing the human countries and searching for a way to get Momonga laid. Equal parts comedy and serious.

Sayu Yagami is such a pretty name, meant for a very pretty little girl - not a dead twenty-three year old who'd somehow managed to hijack her body (but one must learn to adapt). Not your typical reincarnation story, or maybe it is.

Take a decent person. Throw them into a situation, and a body, with powers that they'd never been meant to handle because of bad paperwork...then run with it all the way down. When you're a Hentai Orc that is seemingly obsessed with subverting nearly all the tropes that normally comes with what you are...it isn't like you can do much else, right?

Diarmuid isn't sure why he was summoned, or where he's supposed to go from here, but his little Master is hurting and he'll be damned if he fails again. Rose Potter is just happy she has a new big brother, even if he's a little weird.

"Excuse me," Archer said, scratching his head while trying not to sound too smug. "I'm actually no hero, so I might interfere with your work. I will look for something else to do while you guys save the world! But do you mind sparing me some money?" (A threeway crossover with Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi manga. One-shot.)

Harry and Tom's souls are tied together. Which is why they're in this endless loop of rebirth. At some point, they stopped caring and just started fucking with people. (slightly crack AU w/ some seriousness) MoD!Harry, kinda soulmates!TMRHP SLASH M/M

Hatake Kakashi was a shinobi, and as a shinobi, the only people who could give him orders were his military superiors. The idea that a Council made up of civilians and peers was under the impression they could give him orders...displeased him. Or: He was ordered to pass Team 7. He was fine with that, until they actually passed.

Crossover between FSN and Prisma Illya. Magical Girl Illya finds herself in the fifth Holy Grail War and facing her counterpart, the Master of Berserker.

Enforcer Contract #CIL201009-6: Investigation of possible interdimensional threat: Type-D. This request has been jointly commissioned by the Roman Catholic Church and the Mage's Association. Contract Signed, Rin Tohsaka, Enforcer Unit 09.

Ranma finds himself in another world but what good is a martial artist in a world of ninja? A joint mission with the Leaf and Waterfall - okay. How bad can Ranma mess things up?

Born at a Jashin temple, Sakura had been exposed to the Jashinist ways since she was young. A few days after her ritual of choosing and obtaining Immortality, her temple is attacked, where she is the only survivor and is taken in by Konoha. There, Sakura struggles to fit in and understand the value of life and the beauty in living, instead of simply surviving.

He might have forgotten everything he had ever known, but that didn't matter once he picked up a sword. Some things are just too well ingrained to be completely forgotten. Now all he has to do is learn to put these skills to good use, and maybe figure out what was going on between him and that Tsundere girl.

In the aftermath of the fighting in the Holy Kingdom, after Ainz makes his way back to Nazarick, the Slane Theocracy makes its move. Thus far, they have only seen the civilized side of Ainz Ooal Gown but now the gloves are off, and there will be no mercy for those who dare to challenge Nazarick and the Supreme Being. Fan Volume 14, but with a few minor tweaks to the end of 13.

(Commission) What happens when you take the bumbling idiot, loved by his family and supported by them, into a cold and analytical prodigy whose family pushes him under pain of death to put his natural talents to their use? This story, of course. (Abandoned)

Shirou should have realize that Alaya wouldn't take rejection kindly. Even if he wouldn't be her Counter Guardian, she still had plans for him. Dropped into the middle of a war game, Shirou has to figure out what is going on and why Alaya sent him there in the first place. He just knew Archer was somehow in on this sick joke. (Sekirei!Shirou & Female!Shirou)(Not based on In Flight)

The concept of the 'do-over' is used in, at the very least, hundreds of Harry Potter stories. Here's my own take, using a HP character that actually has a good reason for getting another chance to make things better.

A man from Earth wakes up to find himself stuck in the body of a fictional teenage boy with an ability that turns his life into a video game and foreknowledge of events to come. What could possibly go wrong? A take on the RWBY/Gamer crossover niche with an SI twist, a focus on world and character building, and fleshing out some of the details RT missed. Rated 'M' for a reason.

AU. With Albus dead, there's only one wizard left to continue his fight. His oldest friend. His true love. There's no better choice for defeating a Dark Lord bent on murdering all muggleborns than the one wizard who gathered them under his banner once before. True, things went a little out of hand, but Gellert Grindelwald has changed. If only everyone else would realise this...

With no memories of anything besides his name and his skills, which seem to include a strange propensity for swords and a peculiar ability he only knows as magecraft, a boy wakes up in a cave with twelve others. Is the overwhelming desire to save others enough to survive in this new world?

[He wasn't wrong]. That was the answer he gained. After the battle with his younger self, he finally understood that though his ideals maybe impossible and twisted... he wasn't wrong for following them. With a smile and a promise he returned to his duty. This is a the story that comes after that moment... and a story of a hero who rose up with a little help from a friend.

Being a hero was just an exercise in frustration on the best of days. When he found himself in a large town that seemed to be something out of the medieval period he thought that it looked normal enough...till he saw cat eared girls, boar eared men, dwarves, elves and what looked like hobbits walk past. It was then, Archer decided, that he needed some answers.

After the Battle of Hogwarts Harry finds himself rising through the ranks of the Ministry's Unspeakables. All is well until one day a strange set of runes carved into the base of the Veil of Death catches his eye. After a hint from the Hallows, Harry steps through the Veil and into a strange new world. But not all is as it seems. Threats both old and new lurk in the darkness.

Albus really didn't know what to expect when The-Girl-Who-Lived disappeared. Having her show up in Diagon Alley in a maid's uniform definitely wasn't on the list. Now if only he knew better then to try and manipulate her guardian, one 'Ainz Ooal Gown'. twins fem!harry manipulative!Dumbledore

Sometimes, the tiniest of changes can have the greatest impact on the world. One chance encounter goes in a new direction, and the course of the Holy Grail War is irrevocably changed...

Momonga is the last member of the Guild of Ainz Ooal Gown. After many years of playing his favorite game, Yggdrasil, the servers are finally shutting down. Having put so much work and effort into Nazarick with his forty guild mates, he figured he would stay logged in until the very end. Little did he know that he would be thrust into a new world with a new dungeon to conquer. R/R

All tinkers have voices in their heads, telling then to take over the world and show them all, right? Big thanks to my betas for helping me in this.

Death, it is something that binds all living things. Whether they are synthetic or organic all must one day face it. Death itself has come to the terminus systems, and this will impact the whole galaxy. Now if only he would stop running from his job. Then the reapers would truly know what fear is.

What happens when a SI gets reborn in the world of Naruto and is willing to lie, cheat and steal his way to power? Magical Vivisectionist Pretty Oro-tan, eat your heart out - this is how you bootstrap your way to godhood. No re-treading the same old missions here.

"Don't lie to him" Shikamaru felt the need to say, "He's observant". Ino felt her nose rumple in disbelief. "Is he?" she frowned, wondering if the Nara was joking. "Since when?" "Since always." He paused. "Especially with things that catch his interest."

A response to Paladeus challenge "Champions of Lilith". With the Future all but lost, The Faerie Queen sends one of her last children to send Harry Potter and his lovey ladies, Hermione and Luna, back in time to prevent Voldemort's reign. Against Dark Lords, false friends and plotting old men, can they set the future right? Lunar Harmony. AD/SS/RW/MW/GW bashing.

She was a Prodigy unlike any other, the top of her class, the best of the best. Now, she is but a remnant of her former self. Pyrrha Nikos, Huntress and friend, was thought dead. But she lives in a new strange world without Grimm, without Huntresses. She is lost and alone, save for one ally. Harry Dresden, Chicago PI and Professional Wizard, is more than happy to help Pyrrha home.

A shield? Okay admittedly I don't know how to use a shield. But a sword? That I know how to use. Jaune P.O.V.

Bell had never heard of the goddess Serafall. But, hey, it's a goddess who wants him. Why should he care! He probably should have as things start to become weird. Like befriending monsters, girls suddenly coming onto him, guys calling themselves Heroes wanting to kill him and, oh, being able to do things normal Adventurers can't.

Naruto had gone to his last battle with Madara fully prepared to die with his enemy. He did not think he'd be manipulated by old toad sages and thrown to the far past. He did not expect to wake up in the Senju clan compound either.

What if the horcrux in Harry's scar hadn't quite been as contained by the Blood Wards as Dumbledore planned. Rather than twisting Harry's personality, it darkened his aura. And the dark creatures of the magical world really liked that aura. Gee. Sucks to be a Dark Lord trying to make your comeback. VERY AU. Just for fun.

Shirou knew accepting the offer would have a catch, but he couldn't resist the chance of seeing her again. The blasted Grail may have thrown him a curve ball, but he wasn't going to waste his opportunity. He could finally reunite with Saber at Fairy Tail... he just had to find a way out of Grimoire Heart first...

Heather's not exactly sure how she got here, but at least the role of 'older sister' is a familiar one.

Born on Mindoir, John Shepard grew up fast after the deaths of his family. Where as many expected him to become a warrior or soldier, Shepard became a outstanding medic and survivor above all else. How will a man who has and will put the lives of his allies before the orders of his commanders survive in the days to come? New take on the canon events and Shep/multi.

Hermione was eight when she summoned her first demon. She was lonely. He asked what she wanted, and she said a friend to have tea parties with. It confused him a lot. But that wasn't going to stop him from striking a promising deal with the young witch. Dark!Hermione, Slytherin!Hermione, occult theme. Complete.

Kayaba Akihiko had accounted for many things when he set his stage. The players would be kept alive to populate Aincrad, unique skills to be granted to those with the potential to be the heroes of this story and even the role he would play in this living world he created. But there was one thing he could never have foreseen. The appearance of a real hero in this fake tale of his.

What would you do if you could see death? If you'd touched emptiness itself, had it invade your soul, infest your mind, and whisper in your ear, telling you how to kill anything? How would you handle knowing you could never not see, never not comprehend the end of everything? Because for Taylor, that's reality, and there are no easy answers. Kara no Kyoukai influences.

Earth died, muggles and magicals had warred and damned themselves into oblivion. The only survivor was the less than sane Harry Potter. Eventually he stumbles upon the Veil of Death, on a whim he decides to walk through and soon awakens in his cupboard under the stairs as one Harriet Potter. The Marauders shall ride again, led by a not quite all there witch. (Black Family revival)

Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi Order, walking away after their betrayal. She did not consider the consequences of what her actions might bring, or the danger she might be in. A chance run in with a single irreverent, and possibly crazy, person in a bar changes the course of fate for an entire galaxy.

Very loosely based on the Reptilia28 Don't Fear the Reaper Death Challenge, whereby Harry gets to relive his life. As do a couple of other people. What effect does this have on Harry's life and the Voldemort Blood wars? Not a Discworld crossover, but some guest appearances by Death's granddaughter. Some character bashing. No Cursed Child or Fantastic Beasts. COMPLETE.

The magical world isn't as ignorant of muggles as it seems, and Lucius Malfoy has an idea on how to get Harry out of his way. Now Harry is in Japan and trapped in a virtual world of swords. Cut off from his friends and allies, and what he knew, he has to make new ones and get used to an illusory world that has become all too real. Welcome, to SAO Harry. Do try to survive.

He is sentenced to live his life as one of the weakest monsters in another world as a trial. if he leads his people well, he moves on. If not, he will be punished...severely. Gamer!Naruto. NaruxHarem

Will break my bones, but words will change the world. A member of Team 7 has had to deal with a voice in their head for their entire life, how much can words change the ninja world? An SI you haven't read before

Kotomine Kirei is a troubled man that only participated in the Holy Grail War to serve Tohsaka Tokiomi and meet Emiya Kiritsugu. In order to do both, he attempted to summon Hassan-I-Sabbah as the Servant Assassin. The Grail heard his plea and instead gave Kirei a rather... unorthodox thief. Gilgamesh better keep his Gate of Babylon locked at night...

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

OC Self Insert The story of Inoue Shiori, the civilian reincarnation that made her life in the Naruto World without directly interfering with the timeline and the ripples that she caused. Because I read so much SI's and needed to write one too. This is the REVISED VERSION. (no change in plot, just added dialog, scenes and fixed grammar)

What happens when a brain damaged Harry and a transgender Hermione both get sorted into Slytherin? Snape's not sure, but he thinks it's likely to be an interesting term. This story follows various first years through the trials of their first year.

When a 27 year old Ruby Rose finds herself back in her teenaged body with 12 extra years of memories chronicling the complete and utter destruction of Remnant as she knows it, including the deaths of everyone she holds dear, she realizes it's time to play for keeps. But how much can the 'Last Huntress of Beacon' actually change and how much is she doomed to repeat?

When a Harry Potter that didn't follow the path of the Epilogue finds himself suddenly thrown into 1970, he settles into a muggle pub to enjoy a nice drink and figure out what he should do with the situation. Naturally, things don't work out the way he intended.

Harry Awakens from a 68 year coma which he went into after defeating Voldemort. Then he gets summoned... to buffyverse, everyone seems keen to calling him a big bad for some reason.

Because Tom Riddle and Lily Potter were brilliant. Harry James Potter wakes up on his eighth birthday knowing great love. Terrible, yes, but great. Ravenclaw Harry, soul-merging. [On Hiatus]

She's eighteen and four months when a man flags her down on her bike with an excited grin and aspirations in his eyes. He's got slicked back hair and a crooked smile and grand ideas for her.

Oc Insert, Harley knew her destiny, knew the path she had been meant to walk, but she hadn't clawed her way back to life to be a puppet to it. No, but that wasn't to say that she was opposed to being persuaded otherwise. How different would the story be with someone who know the outcomes? One thing was for sure life was funny when you were in on the joke...hahahahahahahahhahahaha

Mortality is for losers. So is time as a linear concept. In other words, the entire planet is dead, Sakura is over five hundred years old, and she's bored as hell. Time-travel is clearly the only option.

One of Rin's experiments goes wrong, throwing her and Shirou's souls into another world to be reborn. Finding themselves in a world with a new form of mystic energy and where the influence of Gaia is less than a tenth of its old strength, Rin has found herself in paradise. Shirou however sees a world of conflict, deceit, and monsters wearing human skin... same old, same old.

Sakura is summoned as Berserker. Chaos ensues.

Jaune felt pretty damn good about finally defeating Cinder, which might of been why he forgot she was a sore loser. In a blast of Maiden power, he's suddenly a decade in the past. No, the fact that Cinder and the White Fang are still alive and kicking doesn't worry him, he can handle them. He's worried about how he can watch 17 year old Jaune Arc and not strangle himself...

Death wants free of its Master and proposes sending Harry back in time to avoid the unnecessary deaths in fighting Voldemort. Harry readily accepts, thinking he'll start anew as a Firstie. Instead, Harry's soul, magic, and memories end up at the beginning of Second Year — in GILDEROY LOCKHART!

Life has given Harry a lot of lemons: dead parents, a cupboard under the stairs, horrible clothes, Harry Hunting. The result should have been a downtrodden, sad little boy. It isn't.

The Dursleys, fearful of their nephew, decide that the best course of action is to dispose of him. Where do they leave him? France. There, Harry Potter grew up and learned of his most precious ally: himself. Armed with a new name and a new face, Harry takes them all by storm. Smart, Metamorphmagus Harry. AU. First Year.

What will Harry do when a ritual from Voldemort sends him to another world? How will he manage in this new world in which he never existed, especially as he sees familiar events unfolding? Harry/Multi eventually.

Suzuki Shou disturbs a butterfly; Uzumaki Naruto reaps the benefit. Mitarashi Anko didn't think she was cut out for teaching, but to be a ninja was to be forever enrolled in a game of give and take, and when the Hokage asks you to give, you don't say no. Gen fic. Teacher!Anko.

WIP. Harry makes a different choice in King's Cross and is given the double edged gift of a second chance. Time Travel AU, DH canon.

There's something ironic about being reborn; Salazar Slytherin can't just take a break from being Harry Potter. The Wizarding World has changed, but not for the better. It's become everything he had preached for in the past and what he dreads most nowadays. Now he has to struggle against dark schemes against his new life with wit and experience being his biggest weapons. DEAD

Despite coming from a family of heroes, Jaune Arc wasn't quite there yet. He dreamed of attending Beacon Academy and becoming a master Huntsman. But for now, he was just Jaune. And one of his sisters wanted him to go ice-skating with her. Jaune wasn't the best at it, but what could possibly go wrong? Well, when it involved him that was just about everything.

10 year old Harry finds a chest left by his mother with books on some of her favorite subjects.

Pairings: H/Hr/NT/FD/DG. Ron/Molly bashing and GreaterGood!Dumbledore.

Being the Chosen One isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you're a poser filling in for a role you never auditioned for and are eternally waiting for the punch line of a really bad joke. SI/OC as Fem!Harry

Set in the Goblet of Fire, Harry and Hermione each have a strange awakening after a demonstration of the Unforgivable Curses during that fateful Defense Against the Dark Arts class. How different is a Harry Potter with one deviant obsession, a twisted kink? Perhaps not at all, or perhaps incredibly so in the most meaningful of ways. Webs of pairings centered around Harry.

He never stays in one place long enough to forge any meaningful bonds. A lonely way of life but for someone who will eventually outlive everyone, it's an ideal alternative for a traveler without a home to return to.

Goblin courts are inhumane, the Ministry thinks it can arrange marriages, and Voldemort wants to oppress everybody. The muggle government is not amused.

The ultimate dream: being born into your favorite manga. But the ninja life is in no way as romantic as it looks. But it's also not all that terrible. Hisana is fervently working on keeping it that way. An OC insert. Sequel up.

Quarrel was allergic to bee stings, and now Taylor is the Butcher - but the Administrator shard is strong enough to hold off the voices in her head, for now. What will Taylor do, when circumstances conspire to keep her on the wrong side of the law?

What if the mentioned super intelligence of Yagami Light and his antagonists wasn't just informed, but was actually true?

This is a mix of genres, first and foremost it is a 'Fix It' story. There are also hints of 'Muggles do it better', and more than a little crack, with the BDA being one of the most feared organizations on the planet, along with a bit of fun with Tom Riddle's 'You Know Who' pseudonym. Clell62619 started it. I'm adding to it. I've taken it as far as I can. Feel free to write a sequel

After spending his childhood traversing the globe with Jiraiya, twelve-year-old Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf for the first time. (Now on Arc II: Wind Country)

...Oh wait, it did. Semi-SI.

Sirius breaks out of Azkaban two years before schedule. He's pissed, half-mad and prepared to do anything to protect his Godson. He's going to make the Wizarding world pay for the hell it put him through- and have some fun along the way, of course! Super! Sirius, Dark Lord! Sirius, but not evil. No slash. May include ships later. Mainly from Sirius' (and Harry's) point of view. AU.

Kakashi doesn't understand his genin team. (He hopes he never will.) Featuring: strip poker, deceptive puddles, several books, two conspiracies, and no ducks.

There were very few things that could rile a 25 year old Naruto Uzumaki up. He was perfectly content to sit in his home, work his normal job, study at a normal school, and in his free time, tinker (read: upgrade in a potentially life endangering manner) with whatever happened to catch his interest. This obviously did not include Devils, or Angels, or Fallen Angels.

What would have been the appropriate response to a creature that can kill with a look being set loose in the only magical school in Britain? It would have been a lot more than a pat on the head from Dumbledore and a mug of hot cocoa.

Three orphans with a penchant for psychological warfare, violent rampages, and chronic backstabbing. And they are arguably the best team Konoha ever produced. Dark!Canon. Sakura-centric.

What if it was Nora that found Jaune in the Emerald Forest? Join our lovable members Nora and Jaune of Team JNPR as they partner up and set sail on the silliest adventure at their time at Beacon Academy! Ch 34: "Those smiley spice things don't make people happy at all! It was all a lie Ren... A LIIIIEEE!"

What if there were no Humans in Mass Effect? What if there were Orks instead? The Council would have a lot less sleep, for one thing.

Taylor died in the locker. In her guilt, Madison triggered instead and became a superhero, to make up for her mistakes. Seen first on spacebattles, archived here for easier reading and for other people to find.

John Hamish Watson and Death have a history - one he doesn't remember until he lies, bleeding out under an Afghan sun. Now he's back in London, chasing after criminals with Sherlock Holmes, coming to terms with a past life, his sister's true identity, and trying to do his part to keep THE consulting criminal from wreaking havoc in both muggle and magical London.

The Girl-Who-Lived won; Magical Britain never recovered. As their world grows closer to another war, the surviving DA members concoct an elaborate plan that will see Iris Potter back in time to guide her younger self and prevent the war from ever happening. Fate however has other plans. GWL BWL, dark!Harry, timetravel, canon magic.

For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

A good, solid punch to the face has always had the power to change a person's outlook. Kakashi didn't realize this until Gai got him, right in the kisser. He was never going to live this down. Team 7's fate was about to change. Strong Team 7

Harry has died, again. This is his last shot, his last chance before he gets written off forever. This is his 48th life. But he is not alone, the game plan has changed and he's got a plan to fix everything. Hopefully while avoiding dying again. Death at his shoulder. Warnings language and possible mature situations later. Hiatus Pending Rewrite

When thirteen-year-old Harry Potter runs away from home, Sirius Black is there to offer him another one. Of course...in this family everything comes at a price.

In unity lies strength; each leaf is important or the beauty of the tree is lost. Some bonds, however, are difficult to forge and even harder to keep. The tide of blood nears, drums thunder, and three Genin stand tall as the world spirals into madness. [AU]

"You should think of this as an opportunity to learn about a completely different method of applied thaumaturgy," Zelretch explained. He then sighed and lamented, "For shame, to be cursed with such an ungrateful apprentice..."

Time travel. It's always about Potter. Draco Malfoy doesn't like that fact, but there is no one else who has the power to change the world. Sending his memories to his younger self he hopes to create a better future. Intelligent Grey Draco. No slash.

The day after a wild party to celebrate the end of the war against Madara, Naruto, the remaining Konoha 12 (and some guests) can't help but wonder what happened last night as they wake up in a different Konoha. Time-Travel. Rated for language, alcohol and just to be sure.

And here Harry had thought being the Master of Death was just a frivolous title.

When the third member of Team 7 dies, the Council must beg Uzumaki Naruto to join it so that Team 7 can enter the Chuunin Exams. NO PAIRINGS. GEN. Chapter 5 and 6 have been fixed and are in their rightful place. :)

Naruto Uzumaki is the saviour, the prophecy child. If there is one body you don't want to get shoved into, it's that one. Suddenly female or not. And as the gods would have it, that's exactly where I ended up. In the body of a blonde, whiskered female child with a mountain of expectations pressing down on me. Brilliant. Self Insert. FemNaruto DISCONTINUED

Now he has to deal with everything again and avoid his younger self at the same time. Now, what's up with his flippin hair? GoodReason!Dumbledore, OnTheFence!Snape, Unbound!Harry, Happy!Harry, HONKS

Whether heroic or villainous, the Dragonborn we all play is a guy who steals when he can get away with it, helps out daedric lords of domination just cause, robs the tombs of the honored dead, and then proceeds to play tag with children and help out his local temple of the goddess of love. This is the story of one such insane individual summoned by Louise Valliere. Crack fic.

Naruto woke up to a black-haired, green-eyed toddler sitting on his chest. The accompanying letter claimed that the kid was family. What other choice did he have but to take the child in? Fifteen year old genin, saddled with a kid, and still a virgin. Ero-Sennin was never going to let him live this down. A Naruto adopts Harry story.

At age six, Harry Potter learned that he can't truly depend on anyone but himself. At age eleven, he was invited to join a world that wasn't quite expecting what it got.

Naruto must learn about something. Something that will change his life, and the lives of those around him. Whether it be for the better or worse remains to be seen but, either way, Naruto is going to learn about sex.

Upon arriving home after second year, Harry finds the Dursleys have moved away and the Grangers offer to take him in. When they find out the truth about the kids time at Hogwarts, they convince them it would be better to attend another school until they are again drawn back for a dangerous tournament.

An AU in a Remnant that expands and extrapolates off of the Remnant of the series, going beyond the glossy cover. A dangerous and experienced Team RWBY make their way in this more world. Character-driven, this story focuses on exploring the characters by extrapolating their traits and attributes from the show. Action, romance, drama and plenty of intrigue. No grim-derp or OOC!

The Master of Death brings his 130,000 years of experience to slam down on the unsuspecting head of his biggest and most entertaining challenge yet. Voldemort brings all her cunning and guile to rip open the mystery that is Harry Potter. And Dumbledore, Fudge, and the rest of the Wizarding world, scrabble to make sense of what in Merlin's name is going on. - On Hiatus

An older and more experienced Harry and Hermione return to their first year at Hogwarts. Their goals? Assassinate Death Eaters, destroy Horcruxes, and deal with Voldemort's hidden contingency plan... by any means necessary. And maybe they'll fix a few other things along the way. UNLIKELY TO BE FINISHED

Taylor Hebert is of the firm opinion that fate has something against her. After loosing her mother in a car accident three years ago and now her father in another on Christmas Eve, she's left bereft of family, friends, and purpose. Wishing for nothing more than an end to her suffering, she attempts to commit suicide. Unfortunately, her new powers make that all but impossible.

Finding herself devoid of employment after the events of Volume 2, Neo decides that she will change her ways, and enrol at Beacon Academy. The enrolling part, easy. The other... well, one out of two isn't bad, right?

Hermione grows up as a maths whiz instead of a bookworm and tests into Arithmancy in her first year. With the help of her friends and Professor Vector, she puts her superhuman spellcrafting skills to good use in the fight against Voldemort. Years 1-4. Sequel posted.

After Ron betrays them, Harry and Hermione find themselves in the Room of Requirement during the Battle of Hogwarts. In danger, Harry and Hermione hide in the Vanishing Cabinet – which abruptly throws them back in time to the end of their third year at Hogwarts, in their younger bodies. ON HIATUS.

Time Travel AU. Sakura has come back to do good deeds and fix some shit. Not posted in chronological order.

Hermione loves her books. Hermione loves her Harry. Get between Hermione and either at your own peril. Series of connected one-shots.

One year into Voldemort's rein, a confrontation with the Dark Lord catapults the Boy-Who-Lived into 1975. Will he be content to sit around and let the past repeat itself? Absolutely not. Time Travel. Not very HBP or DH compliant. Awesome!Harry. Eventual Harry/Lily/Narcissa/Bellatrix. Not a smutfic.

A very tiny variation in creating teams heralds a tiny change in events. Then again, that is what Ozpin gets for throwing students into the woods and then hoping they will somehow magically form the most fitting teams with one another. No Pairings.

Between marriage contracts, soul bonds, angry fathers, wandering eyes, backstabbing women, and defiant house elves, Harry has a feeling that 'True Love' isn't in the cards for him in this story. Which is just fine by him, as it turns out. A depressing walkthrough of the current state of HP Fanfiction.

A girl considered a failure with no magic, and a land filled to the brim with it. The girl calls to the land and tries to pull a resident towards her, only to be pulled herself in return. Stranded in Gensokyo with no magic and no idea, for Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière of Tristain, this is an entirely new beginning. The question is: The beginning of what?

My take on Reptillia 28's Challenge from Portkey, Really hope no one minds. Harry dies well before his time and is sent back to clean up the mess he left behind. This will be an Adult Story, contains Bashing and Character Death. Cleaning up the first/third person & tense changes.

Responding to an emergency call about a Parahuman attack on Winslow Public Highschool, the Brockton Bay Protectorate led by Armsmaster scramble their forces in an attempt to contain the situation and stage a rescue. When they arrive, they find the school encompassed in an aura of palpable dread and the building's inner dimensions twisted to impossibility. What awaits them inside?

AU, time travel. Voldemort won and Harry lost. Life under Lord Voldemort's rule isn't what the Purebloods thought it would be... so a half-baked plot to twist time to save their sorry hides is concocted. But will it work? [WIP]

It took her a while before Sakura was convinced that she was once again in her twelve year old body, but by that time it was too late. •Time-Travel / AU / COMPLETE•

The Chunin Exams have come back to Konoha and the Hokage has decided to recall all her ninjas, including one Naruto Uzumaki. Too bad she doesn't know that she'd probably be better off without him.

A foul-mouthed, snarky and genre savvy jaywalker finds herself decorating the asphalt and reborn into a stratocracy where child soldiers are the norm. People she comes to care for will die and she's unwilling to play the hero… but as Kurenai, maybe she has to. Or not. [SI]

Gamer-verse: A character study of Gamer!Pyrrha Nikos with a twist. Oh and apparently this is the 6,700th story for the RWBY category. Woo. [Cover art provided by Flowerofpimps]

July 5th, 1989; the day Harry James Potter lost his hold on life. So, why then, does the world not mourn? And who exactly has come to Hogwarts in his stead? Rating is for language and adult situations. I own nothing.

One day, Shinji approaches them on the roof of Homurahara Academy. Post UBW, game verse.

The unlikeliest of crossings. The most improbable of incidents. The most hilarious of universes. A considerably different sort of crossover. Sanity is for the weak anyway.

Haruno Sakura has resigned herself to a life of obscurity in the ninja forces, forever outshone by her two best friends. Then she gets put on a team with three of the biggest male personalities in Konoha and is thrown head-first into a series of front lines active duty missions. From here, it's either success or death.

Now armed with knowledge of her previous life and the ability to not just control bugs but also manipulate their biology, Taylor sets off to do what she always wanted to: be a superhero. Spoilers abound; sorry.

One lesson Uzumaki Naruto taught the world was that glass ceilings are fragile, and limits are only for the fools who believe in them.

How does the Grail choose a Master or a Servant? Fact of the matter is, it knows the difference between want and need. Masters of the Fourth Holy Grail War know they want a strong Servant, but the Grail knows the Servants they need.

The nine-tailed demon fox. Its mighty tails can crumble mountains, cause tsunamis, and set things on fire. Lots of fire. It might have been better if she actually were an evil entity bent on destroying the world. Yes, she. AU pseudo-x-over.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." [Pseudo-Novelization] -Completed-

Tokiomi summons a red Archer for the Fourth War. - Chapter 12: Interrogations, infodumps, and expositions.

Reacting swiftly in odd situations is something Naruto has always been good at. But now Akatsuki is finally making a move, Naruto has a promise to keep and a promotion to earn, Karin insist he start procreating preferably yesterday and Jiraiya has left him alone again. You would think the Sannin would have learned something from the first time he did just that.

Not only did Rin not get Saber, but instead she got an amnesiac Caster who can't actually remember how to cast anything except for explosions. On the bright side, they're really big explosions. Also, Louise, whose post-summoning ceremony memory seems to be missing, is not exactly thrilled that instead of summoning a familiar, she seems to have become one herself.

The future is not set in stone. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And every choice made has the potential to drastically alter the fate of the world. This is a lesson he must learn in order to get his revenge. DISCONTINUED

When the Einzberns summon a different Servant for the 5th War, Shirou Emiya winds up summoning the Red Saber from Fate/Extra. With this Servant by his side, Shirou's in for a Grail War unlike any other. Done as a response to The Infamous Man's challenge.

Trapped in darkness, Kakashi refuses to leave ANBU. Years later, as the commander, he is ordered to train three utterly useless genin into competent shinobi.

Ruby goes on the adventure of her dreams, in perhaps a more literal sense of the term.

They say a familiar is summoned to help a mage in the way they need most. Well, Louise needed help with her constantly failing magic and her familiar certainly fulfills that role.

::Year 2 Divergence:: What does it take, to reshape a child? And if reshaped, what then is formed? Down in the Chamber, a choice is made. (Harry's Gryffindor traits were always so much scarier than other peoples'.)
