Summary
Objectively speaking, there are worse people to be reincarnated as. Ultimately unimportant side character, socially acceptable Quirk, winner of the genetic lottery, only mildly deranged.
Honestly, ignoring the fact that he looks increasingly like a fuckboy douche, he's handling this like a champ.
(It's an SI fic. It's an SI fic.)

Summary
A Self Insert into Naruto.
Ryoma, orphan of the sands, knows full well that he's nothing special as far as ninja go. Really, the smart move would be to run to the other side of the planet and wait for the oncoming apocalypse to pass him by.
Running has never been his style.

Summary
When the world becomes aware of teenaged superheroes there is an immediate and fierce wave of backlash and controversy. That's where Phantom comes in.
Phantom saved the world from a meteor fifteen years back; an impressive feat back in the day but now that meteors threatening all life on earth is such a common event that hardly anyone thinks about it. Phantom is considered an old timer who deals with a small city and nowhere else. When he begins uploading videos with advice for young heroes, he hopes a few new heroes might avoid some of the pain he went through. He's shocked at just how popular his advice suddenly becomes.

Summary
Kazumi doesn't fully remember her past life but she remembers dying, she remembers laying in a pool of her own blood, she remembers seeing a boy, she remembers forgiving that boy.
She doesn't understand why she would forgive her murderer but she chooses not to dwell on that, she has been given another chance, another life and she will make the most of it.
Or;
An Uchiha is reborn into the Jujutsu Kaisen-verse after dying in the Uchiha massacre. This plays out as realistically as possible.
hiraeth (n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.

Summary
Running away from your problems is never the solution, but maybe this wasn’t running away. Maybe it was removing himself from the family that he hurt with his “death”. Who he couldn’t continue to burden, especially with something like this. Maybe this type of cancer wasn’t a death sentence, but it definitely would make them feel obligated to care about him again. And as much as he wanted to go home, he didn’t want the reason to be out of obligation and not love.
He’d always wanted to visit Maine anyway.
Or
Dick Grayson was diagnosed shortly after he came back from Spyral. His family is still angry, and he's alone dealing with Leukemia. This was his punishment. Dying all alone, his body killing itself.
But maybe it's not. Because maybe the Coopers are exactly the people he needs to support him, and help him find his way back home. -

Summary
I died ordinary and was reborn into a world not quite so ordinary. Inexplicable things happen when you die, but no one warns you about that. I'm not complaining—living again is an adventure—but seriously... PETUNIA EVANS? God certainly knows how to give His best warriors their battles, but I'm no warrior. I'm a thirty-eight-year-old woman with fifteen years of work experience, a strange mark on my neck, and far too much information about the Boy Who Lived. The problem is he hasn't been born yet. And I'm his awful future aunt.
