Summary
What if Kal-El had been a girl? It's well known that girls by and large develop faster than boys. Just how much would Clara Kent, who'd developed her powers earlier, affect things? How much of the story of Smallville would have been changed had the protagonist been female? And how does Kal-El being a girl change her relationship with Lex?

Summary
Physically, there was nothing special about her birth. If her brain– and the number of souls inside– had been similarly unremarkable, then she would have lived a relatively decent, if short, life. Instead Yamanaka Sakura, born 23K, finds herself positioned to do so much more.
Politics, innovation, lots of canon divergence. Initially focuses on the main character as she comes to know the world and place in it, then expands to Konoha as a whole.
Slow progression. Also posted on fanfiction.net. Weekly updates.

Summary
Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.
Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.

Summary
After ten years as nemeses, Clara Kent could say with a relative degree of certainty that she knew all there was to know about Lex Luthor. But when a murder investigation into the death of her father derails Lex's presidential campaign, Clara's forced to reconsider. Now, marooned in an alternate universe, Clara and Lex must rely on one another to get home in spite of their history - both that which they share, and that which Lex has kept buried for a long, long time.

Summary
[Translation] Hitomi died, and that sucked. Then she got reincarnated into the Naruto universe as a baby, and that sucked even more. Facing seas of fire and rivers of lightning before breakfast wasn't exactly her idea of a second chance, you see. But that's what she had, and so she grabbed it by the horns. This is the story of how she'll attempt to make the best of it. And if she can save a few people here, screw over a few other there, and get Danzō dead then deader, well, what more can a girl ask for?
