Naruto

In Sound Judgement

by NegativeAperture

The main question, she thinks, isn’t her chance at survival or whether she’ll stick to the plot. No, it’s whether she should change the flawed system that thrives off war and child soldiers. Arguably, she’s in the best position to fix it. People would certainly be more willing to listen to you if you threaten them with the giant fox demon in your gut. But what would the cost be? Her morals? Her humanity? The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all. (In which a human rights lawyer is reincarnated into a world without morality, without logic, and most of all, without laws. Helping the world was easier when people weren’t ninjas.)

Naruto

if you can, then you should

by sunburnhurts

OKAY so i was going to post drafts but they make no sense out of order. Maybe I'll rewrite this. TBA.Mo has long since come to terms with the fact no one in Konoha needs him. He doesn't mind, really. If no one here cares about him, surely there's someone somewhere else who will. He's got a plan to find them, that someone who'll make his life worth living, but plans in a Shinobi village rarely go smoothly. Now he's got two kids to worry about, a jinjuriki that won't leave him alone, and a genius who seems to think they're kindred spirits.or:Mo would rather run far, far away than deal with his own problems.He sticks around to deal with theirs.A completely self-indulgent OC insert.

Deal With It

by ReebaJee

I am a realist, a pacifist and incredibly apathetic. That last trait didn't come about until after I'd shot myself and was reborn though, and maybe a few run-ins with an over-cheery blond might change it.

Life is Alright and Then You Die (and That's Where the Fun Begins)

by Metaphorical_Tables

The Shinigami decides he doesn't like the ending. So, like any self-respecting member of a fandom, he decides to change it.__________At least she knew there was an afterlife, seeing as she had some self-awareness, and wasn’t just scattered energy in the vast universe. She wondered idly what her destination was.She never got to see for herself, though, because all of a sudden something grabbed her.There was a feeling that she imagined was much like being pulled through a rather large vat of jello, and suddenly she was face-to-face with — the Shinigami from Naruto?“Oh, good,” he said, “You’re from one of those universes. That makes explanations much easier.” NOTE: On hiatus due to fandom switching.

Selene

by Synopsynthesis

She's a Herrscher and she's pretty sure she's in the wrong series. Instead of being reborn in that anime world featuring an all-female caste of supersoldiers and a worldwide militant church, she's in a superhero deathworld where people get powers from trauma and is now in an enviable position of facing down two multiversal-scale apocalypses.Or:Depressed magical girl punches super nazis and space whales.A Worm crossover with Honkai Impact 3rd. Because the plot bunny birthed a new one, and now my brain’s infested. Playing canon fast and loose because I caught depression while reading it but the fanfics brought me back and gave me a beautiful setting to toy with.No Beta cause I got no Beta. We’re riding with no seatbelts with only Grammarly as my copilot.If you see Selene on sites that aren't on SB, Ao3, or SV, then that is not mine and someone is stealing my work

problem child

by spacetimeenigma

There's a reason the genius ninja don't come from the Konoha Orphanage. Kura may not have completed her past life's social work and psychology education, but she knew enough about child development to know that an orphanage was never a good place for a kid. Throw in semi-legal underground child army 'recruiting', child experimentation, poverty, and a good few underpaid, under-trained caretakers, and, well. This just won't do. Someone has to do something.

The Third Host

by Seer_of_Soul

(Completely self indulgent, but thought I'd share!)“For fear dwells within the water,” a voice said, shockingly close to his shoulder, “Ever churning through the veins.” Shen Qingqiu didn’t jump, but it was a close thing. If he hadn’t recognized the voice despite his surprise, he would have already struck out blindly and crippled the man. Instead, he twisted in his seat, glaring over his shoulder at the young man reading the calligraphy papers over his shoulder. The young man tilted his head, his ponytail draping over his shoulder as he gave Shen Qingqiu a lopsided grin. “Shidi.” Shen Qingqiu greeted with an edge in his voice.The young man took a step backwards and gave him a salute, not bothering to dispel the self-satisfied grin on his face. “Shen-shixiong, it’s been a while.”

Get Real

by beelzebubble_tea

This is a dream, right? It can’t be anything else. Even if Izuku is so endearing and intelligent and delightful and multifaceted and real that sometimes she weeps at the thought that he doesn’t really exist. Because it just can’t be real life—no matter how fiercely Izuku insists it is. A girl finds herself in the universe of a shounen manga and, believing everything to be a figment of her imagination, proceeds under the assumption that none of her actions have consequences.Unfortunately, they do.

Bury Me Shallow (I'll be Back)

by Metaphorical_Tables

He was four, almost five, when the memories first started coming in. They were strange, dreams of a different life in a different world. He ate in familiar-yet-not restaurants with people he knew, yet didn’t. He played familiar games he’d never heard of, and watched favorite movies he’d never seen. He sang along to songs he’d never heard and slept in his unfamiliar bed.__________In which Uchiha Obito is more than he appears. NOTE: On hiatus due to fandom switching.
