It all started with a smell. That had been what made Shikamaru take notice of Naruto. Some things about the 'boy' just didn't add up and the more Shikamaru thought about it the more he began to wonder what Naruto wasn't telling people, and, if Shikamaru was correct, why was Naruto hiding it in the first place? The genius just hoped he was right otherwise things could get awkward!

Ekoda High's new student is the recently returned Kudo Shinichi, but it seems there's more to his arrival than a simple change of schools. There is a new danger lurking, but with all the problems riding on his shoulders, Shinichi might not be able to handle it alone this time. :Future KaiShin:

If Light had never touched the Death Note, would he ever have found an escape from the depression and boredom that plagued him? Would he have had a future at all? M for dark themes.

There was a start to all romances. In fairy tales, it started with damsels in distress on a land far far away. His started in a park, with a troubled girl catching butterflies. FemNaru

Enter one Uchiha Itachi. Just how will our favorite heroine get out of this situation? Realistic Genderbender. Itachi/FemNaru

"Iruka's face morphed into horror, much like Sakura after he called her pinkie. There was no remembrance of the kids bullying anymore, as everyone was now focused on the awful things he said about himself. A diversion, as Mizuki called it. Maybe school did teach important lessons." A story about emotional trauma, choices, friendship, and romance. But mostly emotional trauma.

Sent from the village into the safety of obscurity, Naruto is raised with vastly different ideas of how life should be.

Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto becomes the Rokudaime Hokage during the war, but what use is it to be Hokage if Konohagakure was burnt to the ground with all the villagers still inside?

All she hoped for was to be accepted, acknowledge, and loved. She tried everything, even changing her entire self but they pass it off as another of her quirks. It seems no one will ever see her for what she really is, no one saw her crumble and fall. She's tired of holding herself together so she let them. After all, she was never meant to be just like her dreams. FemNaru.

AU "Naruto dreamt of leaving the village. He wasn't sure what he felt towards the village. Resentment. Reproach. Regret. Whatever it was, Naruto wasn't content being another orphan boy in the village. He wanted something more out of life, like those stories of the Legendary Jiraiya and his ilk." No confirmed pairings and no character bashing. R&R.

There comes a time when even the strongest break, and Conan knew no exception to that rule. Now chained to a familiar stranger and trapped within a serial killer's lair, will Conan break, or will he escape in one piece?

The Black Organization has found Conan! Do they know he is Kudo Shinichi or do they have some other reason for kidnapping him?

Naruto doesn't know how he got in the past or even why. But what he does know is that he won't let the same tragedies act out again, and he'll get on the case as soon as he can shake off his incredibly observant sensei and figure out how and when things started going wrong.

Everyone's heard of the legendary blind samurai. But what about the blind ninja? This is his story... Semi-dark powerful Naruto. Pairings undecided.

Illiteracy is a common problem among orphans within the village. When Naruto misreads a scroll, it sends him back in time. A time where Konoha is not yet born, and a time where dark-haired men refuse to say no. Especially to pretty, blonde women. FEMNaru.

"You're not real," their baby brother insists adamantly for the fifth time, and Ace and Sabo share a look of actual distress; because Luffy is staring at them blankly, as if they should know very well they don't exist. (In which there's a trap and a fantasy, and physics are casually destroyed in the name of Luffy.)

"Yeah, captain. Talk to me. I'm worried about you. I want to know what you did those two years I didn't get to see you. I want to know about Ace and the war and how you survived to make it back home to me. You're my nakama, and I want you to tell me everything that I missed when I couldn't be there for you." (In which Sanji is worried and Luffy comes clean. Nakamaship.)

One-shot. Set during the two year training. Rayleigh may have said Hancock couldn't visit Luffy during his training, but he never said Luffy couldn't visit Hancock. First One Piece fanfiction so be nice.

Starting over is never easy. Creating a new identity, facing different challenges isn't easy at all. Naruto must do all this because he must correct the mistakes of the present by traveling to the past. GEN, Time Travel.

AU. /Marine Commodore Monkey D. Luffy/ doesn't care about pirates or Marines. He believes what he sees and decides good from bad by himself.

The Kyuubi doesn't want to die. He cannot even grasp the idea of himself dying. He's meant to be immortal and he has no intention whatsoever to go against his very nature. True, he's stuck inside Naruto, but the boy has absolutely no say in this matter.

Let it not be said that being Uzumaki Naruto is anything approaching easy; he has an obligation to the future but a duty to the past, and a time-traveling jutsu that lets him travel between both. OR: Naruto travels between the past and the present, and somehow loses himself in the process.

The only thing he knows is how to reflect the hatred of the world around him. So what is it if not a miracle that in the end he learns to love himself? [NaruNaru]
