And he had a feeling that whatever had changed him—this "Blacklight"—would give them to him.

My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LotSB. Rated M for language and violence.

Some destinies are written out centuries, or even millennia, ahead of time. However, when destiny is derailed, new plans have to be implemented.

What if several Worm characters had a really bad day, the sort of day from which there is no coming back? What happens to Brockton Bay then?

Integra dies, only to wake up in the past, as a fifteen-year-old. AxI.

No TARDIS, no screwdriver, and no memory — on the plus side, an owl and a wand! May or may not be AU. "It's all in the mind, you know."

I wasn't asking, but then this guy with gray hair seemed to think he'd found an answer. . . . OC Self-Insert

AU reboot of the entire SAO storyline, beginning from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee. As a result, he created the Death Game of Alfheim Online rather than the floating castle of Aincrad—a world in which PvP is not a crime, and the nine player races are in competition to escape. **SPOILERS IN REVIEWS**

Jaune was down on his luck even before he found himself getting mugged in an alleyway. The last person he expected to be saved by was a man even more beaten up than he. Junior might not have been perfect but he and his gang made their own destiny, no matter what life threw at them. Junior's gang represented the one thing Jaune never knew he needed - the chance to prove himself.

Long live the resistance!

It's one thing to enter the world of heroes and villains, it's another thing entirely to find your way back out again. That's a bitter truth to swallow when you want no part of the life to begin with. A hasty decision from a young man with his back against the wall sends him down a path of which there is no return. OC main character.

Formerly by another name, renamed after I rewrote. Started as a real take on Youjo Konki, ended as who knows what, it's a romance that I hope defies all romantic tropes, a political piece, a character study, a raw take on what makes us who we are, hopefully all in one.

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.

War never changes. But people do, through the roads they walk. And the right person on the right road at the right time may well manage to save the human race. Fallout 3/NV rationalish fic.

The System awakes, and so does Jaune Arc. Of course, one is awakening from an eons long slumber and the other went to bed too late the night before and slept in far too long. The System adjusts to a methodology suitable for a teenage boy, and as such accidentally invokes the god-given right of living a video game. Jaune's in for a wild ride.

Minato screwed up. Hinata meets Kurama, not Naruto, as a young girl, and all spirits need a priestess, do they not?

Kallen left Japan with her father before the Second Pacific War erupted. In Britannia she found new friends, made a home for herself, and soon came to a startling revelation: deep down, she was more Britannian than Japanese. Events spiral from there. (Has a TV Tropes page!)

The duty of a daughter does not end with the passing of her family. It continues on, chasing after her footsteps and coloring her thoughts, until that duty is fulfilled or until that daughter is dead. And right now, Uchiha Sayaka and Uchiha Itachi are very much alive.

It was unexpected, to say the least. The Citadel Council, the MSY, Governance - they all faced a new, confusing world. And, for those closest to the expanding shockwave, a very different life... [Crossover of Mass Effect, To the Stars, and Solemnis]

Ingredients: A delicate flower and a headstrong general. Procedure: Combine ingredients in one palace, add murder plots and power struggles. Shake vigorously for best results. Itasaku.

With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all.

An alternate perspective on a renegade Commander Shepard, why she fights, and what she lives and dies for. Spans from ME1 through ME3. FemShep/Liara pairing, non-explicit. Rated M for adult situations and just to be on the safe side.

Silence lay over the old, proud houses of Grimmauld Place. People were either away over the school holidays, or inside avoiding the heat.

Sequel to "Innocent", "Initiate", "Identity", and "Impose".

Harry Potter is a dragon. He's been a dragon for several years, and frankly he's quite used to the idea - after all, in his experience nobody ever comments about it, so presumably it's just what happens sometimes. Magic, though, THAT is something entirely new. Comedy fic, leading on from the consequences of one... admittedly quite large... change. Cover art by amalgamzaku.

AU/multiple points of departure, with the intent to fix/sane-itize/create internal consistency, allowing rational agents to take things to the extreme.

In the Academy, Sakura gets her hands on a summoning-contract. One that let's her summon prinnies. Things change. (Cross-posted on AO3)

Is this what love really felt like? As if she were caught in her own inertia when she wasn't caught up in Deku's gravity. Where was the girl who'd rushed head-on into battle with the most explosive member of their class, smile sharp enough to cut? Ochako missed her—missed being her. Whatever this feeling was, she'd either rise above it or crush it.

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.

The Third Hokage dies stopping Orochimaru before he can defect, leaving Danzo a much freer hand to do as he pleases, and in the aftermath of the Kyuubi Attack, nothing stopping him from his long-held goals of being Hokage and strengthening the Leaf Village. Yet Danzo finds himself having to alter his plans again and again, and ultimately having to stand in the light he so despises.

Once the possibility of chakra migrating through time and space has been accepted, the soul is only a lunging step away. Two legendary lovers escape to the past in order to save themselves, each other, and maybe the world- if there's time. A story of transmigration, yandere tendencies, and far more spiritual incest than Naruto ever signed up for. (Time Travel) (Naru/fem!Sasu) (AU)

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.

He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

Jasmine Potter came out of her abusive childhood changed, showing sociopathic tendencies. When laying eyes upon the wizarding world she sees opportunity, and takes up the mantle of her favourite villain. The balance shifts as the chessboard is shaken up by a new player.

The Jedi thought that, by turning their greatest enemy into an unwitting assassin, they could grasp victory from the jaws of defeat, and safeguard the Republic, the democratic and egalitarian principles at its foundation, for future generations. Really, they should have just killed her.

Lung is conceived a day later and born female. Years later, a certain bug controller ventures out for her first night of heroism. A simple twist of fate, with far reaching consequences.

With everything seemingly "fixed," the two are ready to live normal lives. Lots of fluffy "Adventures of Max and Chloe with friends" with a bit of "dealing with things" thrown in. [Artwork credit to MaiQueti! Links to her art in my profile!]

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

WIP An unconscious Iruka forces Naruto to return to the academy for another year. It also marks the beginnings of a prank whose far-reaching consequences will shake Konoha to its foundations.

"How many lives would you sacrifice for someone you love?" It's a question she was once asked in an ethics class, in another lifetime. Now, decades later, as she stares at the boy sleeping peacefully next to her, she finds that she still doesn't know the answer. In which an SI/OC has the dubious pleasure of being reincarnated as the twin of Aizen Sousuke. Discontinued.

Being reborn into the Uchiha clan during the Warring Clans Era is surprisingly idyllic, so long as you don't mind hard work and are too young to know any of the people who are actually dying. But innocence never lasts, and trying to help family stay alive is a road strewn with a surprising number of pitfalls and last-minute diversions. [SI-OC. Fluff, politics, fix-it. No Aliens.]

Faced with the pressure of the power she has, and official apathy, she must make her own decisions, and take a different route to achieve her goals. There will be trouble.

Surviving in the 78th district of South Rukongai was tough. When you were a ten-year-old girl with a baby to take care of, it was even harder. Getting reincarnated as Kuchiki Hisana after dying of cancer was never part of the plan. SI/OC, Pre-Canon

We take the tale up in early February of 2011, when Sophia incites a group of boys to chase Taylor down and duct-tape her to a telephone pole. It all goes horribly wrong from the moment that they catch her. Things will never be the same again, for Taylor Hebert or for Brockton Bay.

She woke up on Ilos as a series of 1s and 0s. An Artificial Intelligence. Mass Effect is the last place a brand new AI wants to be and this one used to be a person. Who knows this should all be a game. Now on Book Two: Rebirth.

Long ago, two gods decided to test their powers in one last, greatest conflict. For years, light and darkness were locked in stalemate. That stalemate is soon to end. Now, as maidens fall, traitors rise, and distrust builds among the four kingdoms, the flames of conflict spark again. Prepare yourselves, Remnant. Your swords will fail. (Rational!RWBY, Competent!Jaune, AU)

Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

Satsuki lets loose the quietest breath Ryuuko has ever heard, and in that puff of air is all of the fragility and doubt and fear existing in this otherwise absolutely steel woman. That sound, the single breath, is like a storm blowing through Ryuuko's resolve, through all of her will.

He remembers being Harry Potter. He dreams of it. He dreams of the Great Other too, a beast of ice and death with eyes red as blood and an army of dead things. He is the second son of the king, but his fortunes change when secrets rather left in the dark come to light, and Westeros is torn asunder by treachery and ambition. Winter is coming, but magic is might. Very Abandoned

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.

Hinted NaruIno and NaruTen; grey!Naruto

Being "reborn" in the world of Remnant has been anything but a dream come true. With limited memories of a show she once loved, Davi now does whatever it takes to survive and thrive. However she would be foolish to underestimate the hidden wonders in this new world, and the power of a simple soul. SI story.

AU. Framed as a thief and expelled from Hogwarts in her second year, her family ruined by debts, many thought they had seen the last of her. But someone saw her potential, as well as a chance for redemption - and Hermione Granger was all too willing to become a lady thief if it meant she could get her revenge.

Brockton Bay. A slowly rotting, fog-wreathed city in a decaying world where things lurk in the shadows. And that's what I thought it was even before my powers opened my eyes. I wish I could ignore what I see. I wish I could forget. I wish I could escape. But I can't. The Other Place is always there.

An injured Ranger finds himself with an unlikely rescuer.

"Why," she wondered, "was I given a second chance in this world, in this family, in this particular time, if not to change the status quo?" Thinking that was all well and good—however, enacting it was a completely different, and extremely difficult, matter. Semi-SI OC Rebirth fic. Complete. [Sequel posted on AO3]

Finally getting things right doesn't mean every problem goes away. Change is constant and it only gets harder from here—but there are always friends and family to rely on in troubling times. SI OC. Follows the aftermath of Laterality as a sequel/continuation. [Moved to AO3]

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were not in fact the only rookies in that year. This genin was going to be normal, emotionally well-balanced and happy if it killed her. Which, in Konoha, was almost a statistical certainty.

AU. The Sorting Hat doesn't just let the Sword go when it falls on Harry's head in the Chamber, but also Sorts him again, this time into Slytherin. Harry is furious and terrified, and the adults aren't helping much. COMPLETE, sequel to come.

The spirit of rebellion kindles slowly, until the green-eyed scion of a broken House and a Muggleborn genius with an axe to grind unite to set the world ablaze.

Being petrified and having one's absurdly lucky best friend kill a big snake really gets a girl thinking. Where could they go from there?
