    Summary

    A CYOA self-insert sounded fun. Until I woke up in the Naruto world mid–Third Shinobi War. Turns out "fun" is code for "suffering."

    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton never expected to fall in love with his arranged wife. Not when she was so sweet, so eager to please, so desperate for his affection. He ignored her.. until she changed.

    Summary

    These violent delights have violent ends, and all that glitters is not gold. Lysa is a terrible person doing terrible things, and deserves every terrible consequence that she will bring upon others and possibly herself as a result. Given that she's been reborn as a woman in Westeros, however, that's a price she's willing to pay. It's only gunpowder; what's the worst that can happen?

    Or, a villain protagonist makes trainwreck life choices, therefore fitting in with everyone in this god awful world. Readers may rubberneck in hatred or fascination, at your own choosing.

    Summary

    Summary

    Summary

    When I got reborn, I was out of fucks to give. Puberty? Boyfriends before college? Passing maths and preventing Kronos from rising at the same gods-damn time? Well. I guess it can’t get-

    Wait. This isn’t canon.

    Why is everything off script? DOES THIS MEAN I CAN DO WHAT I WANT?

    Summary

    The world of heroes was run by villains and no one could convince him otherwise. Children were groomed to be martyrs, heroes were half baked celebrities and abuse was ignored to keep the illusion of perfection. Akimitsu did not aspire to feed into societies propaganda, but once his Quirk manifested he had no choice. Those around him suffered and even if he hated every moment the least he could do was help.

    Summary

    “-Can you swap with Sukuna at will?”

    “Sukuna?”

    Sukuna tuned back in at the sound of his name reverberating from the brat. He didn’t especially like to deal with sorcerers, not without a fight. And he certainly didn’t think doing so at the moment was a good idea for his sanity or that fragile box of rage he was keeping carefully tucked away.

    In for five. Out for eight. Breathe.

    “Yeah, that curse you ate?”

    “Oh, uh. Mm-hm, yeah, I think I can do that.”

    NO. 

    “Okay! Give us like-”

    “Uh, actually, he says.. No?”

    "...He says no?"

    *****************
    Or: SIkuna is not supposed to be alive right now. Or as alive as this even is, sealed in multiple bits of his own flesh. This should not be happening. At all. He'd thought he made it clear that this was the opposite of what he wanted happening.

    Kenjaku- When I catch you Kenjaku-

    Summary

    Summary: When Dr. Michael Chen, a mechanical engineer with a penchant for lean manufacturing, wakes up in the freezing body of a newborn Eddard Stark, he knows two things: Winter is coming, and the current technological level of Westeros is woefully insufficient to survive it. Determined to save his family from their canonical fates, Ned replaces honor with infrastructure. He builds glass gardens to feed the North, paper mills to spread knowledge, and a concrete fortress to lock the Neck. But technology cannot solve every problem.

    To save the realm, Ned must play the game of thrones—not with whispers, but with audits. He forms an unlikely "Board of Directors" to purge the Crown's debt and turns the Night’s Watch into an industrial war machine.

    An ASOIAF SI/Uplift story where Ned Stark is an Engineer, Joffrey Baratheon is terrifyingly competent, and Robert Baratheon finally finds a war worthy of his hammer.

    Summary

    Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I had never much bought into the whole pearly gates or eternal damnation business. I couldn’t tell you what I was expecting of the afterlife - but it sure as hell wasn't this.

    Moody glowered. "What is with you today?"

    I grinned back at him. Oh, you have no idea.

    You died, the first time, on a random thursday afternoon. Waking up in the body of a young - and very much alive - Moaning Myrtle, you couldn't quite believe your luck. But alas, no rest for the newly deceased. There is work to be done. Between stopping Tom Riddle from opening the Chamber of Secrets, evading the Knights of Walpurgis, and figuring out just why Olive Hornby hates you so much, you’ve got a very busy afterlife.

    Summary

    Woke up in a child’s body after getting hit by a truck? Well, thanks for still being alive!

    You find yourself not in your familiar world—surrounded by communicators, galonet, and all the other comforts of civilization—but in a place where everyone drives smoky cars running on burning hydrocarbons? Could be worse. At least you don’t have to chase mammoths with a spear.

    Did the universe throw you some classic transmigrator goodies? I’ll take a hundred!
    What do you mean, no? Just a couple, but hefty ones… That’ll do for a start.

    Summary

    An average guy from Earth, dropped into the boots of Jaune Arc with text from The Gamer in front of his eyes. Life may be a game, but the stakes are all too real.

    Summary

    Robin can be forgiven for not knowing he was reborn into Harry Potter. Mysterious family history, unexplained magical moments... could be any supernatural universe, really. Chances are not even a fictional one, since weirdness comes with the reincarnation territory.

    Color him surprised when a Hogwarts letter arrives on his eleventh birthday.

    Summary

    Being reborn with her memories intact was pretty great. Being reborn into a world plagued by war was a little less great.

    Being reborn literally decades before canon events fucking sucked.

    Senju Tsunade wants what she was previously denied: a long, peaceful life, a family that loves her and a job that brings her purpose. Instead she gets life as a career killer, a family destined to die before she reaches adulthood and no job prospects that wouldn't include murder.

    Awesome.

    This story was tailored to create a believable romance for Orochimaru that neither redeems him nor portrays him as a toxic, possessive, obsessive monster. The first part of the story will focus on Tsunade to show how she becomes the sort of person that could have a relatively healthy relationship with someone like him.

    The fic is COMPLETE.

    UPDATE July 2025: I'm working on a podfic! You can find it here

    Summary

    Well, fuck.

    She’s been careful to avoid all this hero nonsense ever since she first opened her eyes in this world and saw that her guardians dressed her up in those stupid pro hero patterned diapers, but what else can she really do at this point?

    Yeah, yeah, avoiding the plot was the plan, but a five year old Shimura Tenko wanders the streets, covered in blood, crying for help.

     

    In which a reluctant semi-si/oc purposely avoids heroes, is content to have an average life, but somehow ends up adopting a few broken strays.

    Summary

    He was born as the son of Zen'in Ougi by a woman not of the clan, gifted with an ability they had searched years for. But when he finally summons his first Shikigami there is no rejoicing, only fear.
    "It's alright, I won't let anyone hurt you again."

    *Currently editing and under revision, because some of these chapters make me want to die. (On the inside.)*
