Fem!Tsuna/Guardians eventual rom

Villains always make the same dumb mistakes. Luckily, Tom Riddle happens to have a rather dangerously genre-savvy friend in his head to make sure that he does this "conquering the world" business the RIGHT way. It's about time the bad guys won for once.

Ietsuna knew about it all. She wasn't an idiot, but what else could she do but play ignorant when her family was so intertwined with underground? Tsuna had no need or want for the bloody throne, nor did she have any ambitions beyond a simple life. Ultimately it seemed the cause of her downfall was her own greedy heart. All27, Twin!fic, Fem!Tsuna.

Part 2 of 2. No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be? AU, Thief!SI/OC, Pre!Fated Day Arcobaleno, very Pre!Canon

"To the well organised mind, death is but the next great adventure" — Albus Dumbledore. Pretty words, yeah, but she didn't expect them to be so damn literal. Sorta-SI/OC.

Shirou has always been good with the bow and the world that he resides in is considered the moonlit world. Apparently, when Zelretch discovers something anomalous about Shirou when he was visiting Tohsaka Rin. They discover that he is a demigod of a certain immortal huntress. (Fem!Shirou ; Child of Artemis)

Sea Kings, sea-sickness, sunburns, a 95% genocidal Navy and more than a million and one other assorted ways to die. It's official: Being inserted into an anime sucks ass... Buuut I guess it could be worse. I mean, look on the bright side: At least I'm sailing with the future king of the pirates. (Self-Insert)

After a life mixed with chaos and contentment, Shirou woke up in a new world, very similar and yet so different from his own. Now he must contend with powers far beyond his level, protecting his friends and countless innocent people from being caught up in a war beyond their wildest imaginations... Alright, maybe it wasn't so different after all...(Cover image doesn't belong to me)

Lily Potter's life was tragically cut short by Voldemort's wand. But what if it didn't end there? What if she was given a chance to continue fighting in a different land, a land which is vastly different and also very similar to ours. From a lion to a trout...Westeros is not ready for the coming of Lily Evans

Left in a new world with hardly an explanation for his arrival, the only thing left for him to do was to keep walking forward one step at a time for those watching behind him.

How far would you go for the sake of someone you love? How much would you risk to save them from an eternal nightmare? Would you risk everything? Shirō has been given a second chance to do just that. Armed with more than determination and the memories of the past, he will seek to correct what he views as the greatest injustice caused by Fate.

Bereft of purpose after the loss of his powers, a now sixteen year old Ichigo Kurosaki decided that a change of venue would be what he needed to get him out of his funk. A surprise win with a scholarship opens the door to a new world and not the one he was expecting. (Set after the Aizen Arc but before the fullbring arc.)

Gilgamesh didn't know why he pulled out a cart filled with a potion of youth. He just knew that clairvoyance told him to do so. The missile that caused the cart to explode, flinging its contents across the city did not care for the reason, only that it managed to spread the potion of youth across all eight Servants.

Aqua abandons Kazuma and he is forced to survive on his own. There is no stopping him now.

Not every Slytherin ends up in the Snake Pit. Some cave to parental bias, some follow friends or family, and some make a calculated decision to align themselves with the most underestimated house in a bid for safety and security. Well, only one girl did that. But she read those books, no way was she dealing with all that plot. SI/OC Drabble Fic

Something unexpected happened to me. I'm stuck inside the body of the (future) greatest thief in Vale, with the power of The Gamer given to me for some unknown reason. All in all, it could be worse. For now I have given myself a mission, actually being the greatest thief in Vale! I also need to screw over Cinder, save Pyrrha and Penny, and not end up dead in the process.

As Shirou was dragged into the hole left behind by the grail, the grail itself reaches out to him, acknowledging him as the true winner of the Fifth Holy Grail war. His wish of becoming a Hero is closer to being granted than he originally thought. Now in a world where being a Hero is a feasible profession, will he become a true ally of justice?

This is a Taylor Hebert centric story, starting just after the locker. Details after that are sketchy ...

Book 2 of the Swords and Sorcery series. Shirou and Iris continue on to their second year at Hogwarts with new friends and potential enemies showing that perhaps Shirou is not as far from home as he thinks.

Taylor Hebert had a bad day, and came out of it changed. Some parahumans can control bugs. Some can build advanced technology. Some can do unspeakable things to space and time. Taylor can make magic rings, wondrous metals, mysterious weapons, and may not be a parahuman (or, indeed, human) at all.

What if instead of Kazuma, the world of Konosuba gets the Number 1 cinamon roll of the hero world? Find out in this experiment of a crossover!

There was a rumour of a steel grey eyed Ishvalan who was able to perform unprecedented miracles, some of which alchemists couldn't even hope to replicate.

Emiya Shirou - a human, but not really. Steel is his body and Fire is his blood. It'd be more appropriate to call him the Sword. Kawahira was apprehensive; this unknown could alter the world's fate easily. To make things worse, he couldn't find other 'Emiya Shirou's across other parallel worlds. But well, he was bored. Things would surely get more interesting...right? AU

Draco Malfoy died at the venerable age of 107, and who awaited him at the crossroads? His mother? His wife? No, it had to be his eccentric former rival, eventual best friend, and far too often partner in chaos Harry Potter. Oh, and of course he had a deal to offer Draco to live his life anew, and obviously there was a caveat to it all that he wasn't privy to, damn Potters.Fem!Draco

"With swords that aren't yours, with skills that aren't yours, for dreams that aren't yours. Your entire existence is a lie!" - "Then I'll show you that even fake dreams can become reality." A different choice, a different path, a different FATE. Shirou/Multi

The Promised Day did not end as anyone had expected: Al's seal broke; Ed defeated Father but at a cost. With what strength there was left, Ed performed the ultimate sacrifice for Al. Who knew that meant getting thrown onto Earth in 1943? Nazis? Hydra? A super soldier? The Gate has a sick sense of humour... Fem!Ed Genderfluid!Ed

Illya loves her family. Everyone in the Emiya Household was precious to her and she'd do anything to be with them longer. However, that wasn't something that her dying body would allow. So instead, Illyasviel's last wish was to at least play a certain game with Shirou, Sakura, and Rin – her favorite game – Elder Tale... So why are they waking up in the ruined streets of Akihabara?

On October 10th when the Kyuubi no Kitsune ravages Konoha, Namikaze Minato unwittingly makes a bargain with Death. Years earlier, his life is rewritten when the overpowered, bizarre, and possibly alien Eleanor Lily Potter arrives at Konoha's orphanage and quickly becomes his best friend.

The story of an unyielding man thrust into a galaxy of myriad grays—of questioning the past and of walking the same steps, wondering whether any answers beyond death lie at the end of that long, ever-winding road. (Ch36@10.1k words atm)

Zelretch is bored. So he punts his apprentice and her boyfriend to another dimension to participate in that place's 'really big Holy Grail War'. Now with strange Black Command Seals on Shirou's hand and their old friend Saber by their side, Rin and Shirou must use all their skill to win the Great Holy Grail War and go home. It's 7 vs. 7 vs. 2 as the Third Faction enters the fray.

When Shirou destroyed the Grail, he wasn't expecting it to grant his wish anyways by turning into a rocket and spiriting him away. Waking up in an unfamiliar world, filled with evil monsters called Grimm and superheroes called Huntsmen, will he finally be able to realize his dreams of becoming a hero and making cute girls happy? Semi-serious Carnival Phantasm crossover!

Mighty artifacts of legend have returned to modern times. With her power, she forges myth into reality. They are the crystallizations of great heroes' achievements, Noble Phantasms of incredible power. For the sake of reaching the Everdistant Utopia, Taylor Hebert walks the arduous path of becoming a true Hero, a righteous King, and a symbol of the people's hope.

Because sometimes a tale is too tall not to tell. Even if no one will ever believe her, this isn't Riskua's first shot at life. It is her first time as the 'big sister' of the nuisance that is Monkey D. Luffy however. Self Insert. (slow burn on the pairing)

In between being a hero and searching for a way to get to Saber, Shirou Emiya got a job as a technician at Chaldeas Security Organization. What is not to like? Very good pay, help save the world, and use his abilities as both a repairman and a magus. It has all the advantages he could want. Too bad his Spiritron Dive ability is too low to be a Master while others fight in Fuyuki.

After his complete victory in the Miyu-verse Grail War, Shirou Emiya has been wandering the world of Remnant for several years, searching for his sister. He finds himself in Vale during the Vytal Festival. During the fighting, he finds himself assisting a Huntress, a professor of Beacon. Will he find Miyu? Or will he get distracted from his search by the new people that need him?

Upon the deaths of the seven Servants of the 5th Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirits expected to disappear. What they did not expect was for them to be summoned once more to fight in the Holy Grail War, this time, as Ruler's own faction in the war against other Servants. The Great Holy Grail War commences with three factions rather than two!

Whatever she expected when she triggered, it wasn't meeting a short white-haired girl or turning into a hyper-advanced technological platform. Of course when you're Taylor Hebert, things frequently don't go as planned.

She doesn't want to be a hero, and she is quirkless anyway. Enjoying her second chance of life in a new world, Illya just want to lazily entertain herself. Let's avoid attention and kill the offending villains without anyone noticing. (Reincarnated Illya in MHA after Heaven's Feel)

It takes more than death to keep the Vongola or their closest allies down. Tsunami wakes up to an entirely new life filled with pirates, marines and a world on the verge of a massive war. More importantly she quickly discovers that she's not the only one. She's not about to let something like the World Government stop her from achieving her dream of being Pirate Queen.

Gaia had, at last, slain Alaya but has yet to achieve victory. In its last cry to save humanity, Alaya spreads its dying embers all over the globe. Emiya Shirou is one such fragment, an incarnation to Alaya's expression of Blade. But as the fires of the Fourth War wash away this aspect of humanity, what remains of Shirou? (Contains some original lore, Predator!Shirou)

Harry has the ability to learn the history of any object he touches, whether he wants to or not.

Why should someone fight, if his ideals have betrayed him, there is no-one to fight for and only despair wait him? EMIYA certainly wouldn't, and his story has finally come to an end. Or is it?

In a strange course of events, Bell never meets Hestia. Instead he decides to attempt the Dungeon alone, without a Familia. After he returns from his first trip into the Dungeon a certain bored Goddess discovers him and takes him in, just how will Bell fare as Loki's little secret? Rated T for now.

In which Hatake Kakashi defies prophecies, reads self-indulgent porn and adjusts to his - er her new life as a daughter of a pompous god. A Naruto and Percy Jackson & The Olympians crossover story. AU.

No matter what he does, No matter what universe he is in, Shirou Emiya has always and will always give everything he has to protect his loved ones. Even if it means surpassing the True Magics. AU.

An spinoff/alt version of Beyond the Outer Gates Lies... by gabriel blessing. Originally written to show how Reya might join Harry's harem, though now has grown beyond that, and further from the original (maybe? probably?)

The end of a long story. A man ground through ten thousand years of war and survival will meet a boy taking the first steps down that same road. Old truths will be uncovered. Kings will be summoned. Judgement is nigh. This is the First, Last, and Final Holy Grail War. This is The Game of Kings. [AU/Spoilers for Entirety of Nasuverse.]

The fight against Behemoth in New Delhi goes horribly wrong. Taylor, almost the only survivor, is sent back into the past by Phir Sē to try to fix matters. But there are complications ...

People always talk about how great the Sharingan is, 'it can see through any genjutsu' 'It can recreate any ninjutsu' 'It can predict the future.' But I never really believed them. Not until I unlocked my own pair, and made a startling discovery, "Itachi-nii I can see new colors!" Yeah, I may not have been the most noble of Uchiha, but hey, at least I was having fun? SI/OC

When Roy Mustang went to retrieve his eyesight from Truth, he wasn't expecting to end up doing a job in exchange. It couldn't even be an easy job, of course, because Edward's assessment of Truth was a pretty accurate one.

Following a tragic turn of fate, Taylor is left on her own with nobody else. But less than three weeks after, she comes home to find a girl who claims to be both her new sister ...and the Simurgh. But that can't possibly be right, can it?

Ibuki Ryouka behaved unlike the usual children would behave. She was quiet and expressionless, composed and mature, and she possessed knowledge that far greater than what she should have known at her age. Why, you ask? For she was the 27th reincarnation of the great hero once known as Harry Potter!

A curious 11-year-old Harry begins acting on the strange and wonderful things he observes in the wizarding world. He might just turn out very differently, and the world with him.

The world first saw Harry Bailey in a photo kneeling on a road before the Endbringer the Simurgh. The Simurgh's psychic scream drove entire cities mad. In Harry, it woke something else entirely. He never told the heroes what happened. After all, how could a young boy explain memories he could not possibly have, of a powerful, ancient sorcerer from a universe that preceded his own?

In which Skull totally forgot to mention how he kinda was the Man-Who-Conquered and had met the Arcobaleno before... not really. He totally remembered. Or the Arcobaleno finally understood that Skull didn't really have the safest life despite being a civilian ("Could he really be counted as a civilian?" Colonello asked. "He was a fucking child soldier!")

Taylor Hebert thought the most exciting thing she had to look forward to today was hiking or other camp activities. But curiosity led her to lose her way.

What's your favorite fairytale? (Basically, it's just EMIYA trolling around in RWBY-verse) Crack-ish. Probably. Rated T.

Whoever said life isn't a game was entirely wrong. Everything is a game; it's just a matter of understanding the rules. While Jaune Arc might not have been the strongest player, he could certainly learn the rules quickly. Good thing too; with a mysterious foe on the horizon and Remnant in danger, Jaune might be Remnant's last hope of survival...

The followers of R'hllor had long searched for their lord's champion, the one who would sit on the throne of swords. Well, who better than to sit on a throne of swords than a man who is made of them? Hell, he's already acquainted with the princess. To bad neither of them actually wants the throne. They just want to convince everyone to stop killing each other.

There are two humans, both if different worlds, destined to save their own world. One of Silver Eyes, and one of Gold. What if the God of one world were to mess up when one of them died? Ed helps Junior out with some conflicts, meets Roman Torchwick. Things get weird from there. (No planned romance, but if it develops and I think it would hold up in the plot then there might be)

Rachel Bicchielli remembers her previous life, including her all-time favorite book series The Dresden Files. When suddenly she starts being able to do unexplainable things she realizes with slowly dawning horror that her favorite book series just became all too real. Learning magic from Harry Dresden and trying not to die is liable to drive her completely crazy. SI story.

He had died never knowing who he had been, with no memory, no ideals, not even a name to call his own. He had been no one and he would return to nothing. But rather than simply fading away into oblivion, the Nameless Archer found himself being reborn into a new world. With a new chance given, perhaps he will manage to find his own identity, or maybe even forge one for himself.

He might have forgotten everything he had ever known, but that didn't matter once he picked up a sword. Some things are just too well ingrained to be completely forgotten. Now all he has to do is learn to put these skills to good use, and maybe figure out what was going on between him and that Tsundere girl.

Harry just opens a bakery. In Italy. Of course he meets Arcobaleno claiming him as their Sky, an assassin boss with anger issues, your average immortal next-door ramen shop owner, and a friendly family (but not family-friendly) ghost trying to possess his body in dark alleys. Well, at least the scenery is lovely. Mafia Bakery AU. GEN

An accidental collision of space time techniques sends an ordinary shinobi to Brockton Bay. She'll need all of her common sense and good judgment as she finds her feet in a new world. With new friends by her side, Tenten will have to decide if she's going to fit in or if her new home is going to have to fit her.

Dumbledore claimed that death is only the next great adventure. Uchiha Meika, formerly Harriet Potter, finds out that he was right, yet again, the hard way.

Amy Dallon is a teenage girl in Brockton Bay. She is better known as the superhero Panacea. She is caught in a robbery at the Brockton Bay Central Bank, and is knocked out. When she wakes up, she's not alone in her head ...

This is not what Taylor signed up for.

She's just a woman who's gone through her entire life with a plan to guide her, but when she suddenly finds herself as the main character of a series where unpredictability is the norm, she gladly rips apart the one thing that has suffocated her for years and thinks, "To hell with it." SI!OC-as-Fem!Luffy and Different!DF. Ratings may change over time.

As Shirou Emiya was enveloped by death, he wondered if he became a hero. He then realized he had been summoned as a second Archer in the Great Holy Grail War. In this unfamiliar and odd war, he will fight alongside the Black Faction, and finally be reunited with Artoria. The Hero of Justice steps onto the stage! (Takes place in Fate/Apocrypha with minor changes to Shirou)

Emiya Kiritsugu was happy living the rest of his short days. He had put his past behind him... until he began to dream of futures that had yet to be. Let it be known that the Magus Killer was not dangerous simply because he was dying and had no plans to fight.

Even as she stormed through the world like an atomic bomb, Luffy knew she couldn't protect everybody with these two small hands. Of course she knew that. But she could try. With these memories of that other world, by god would she try. Fem!Luffy.

Honestly, I should have expected it. After all, my line of work would always be screwing with me when I don't need to. What I did not expect was getting myself into a world where Gods are alive and around, Angels and Demons are real, and the residents are really weird. I blame Zelretch for this. Rated T for the time being. (Yes, the title has been changed / Sporadic Updates)

Harry became the Master of Death but it's not perfect. There's no eternal youth and invulnerability, and the time travel is cool but pointless, because change is impossible in his universe. But there's another universe - it has superheros and mutants and perhaps enough flexibility to change time. This story meshes HP with the entire MCU. Will deviate from canon. Not OOC

Taylor Hebert has been known by many titles during the course of her young life: Daughter, friend, victim, villain, warlord, hero, monster, savior… But now, awakening in a whole new world after defeating Scion, she will have to bear a new unexpected title: Campione.

Cameron Gold, an entomologist and anime enthusiast, wakes up in Hueco Mundo. No, he doesn't get to be a badass dragon or tiger. His hollow form... is a nymph. God help him... Oh wait, Yhwach wants him dead on principle... !Reincarnation/Transmigrant, !Survival, !Eventual OP

As Shirou and Gilgamesh clashed for the final time, everything ceased. And then, everything stopped making sense. A Shirou insert into the world of Bleach story. Rated M just in case.

Taylor Hebert is the grandchild of Magneto, a villain from another world. She has inherited his powers. Is the world prepared for a mistress of magnetism?

[He wasn't wrong]. That was the answer he gained. After the battle with his younger self, he finally understood that though his ideals maybe impossible and twisted... he wasn't wrong for following them. With a smile and a promise he returned to his duty. This is a the story that comes after that moment... and a story of a hero who rose up with a little help from a friend.

Tsunade expected to end up in Heaven after her death, peacefully enjoying an eternity of drinking and gambling. What she didn't expect was to be reborn and to end up as the heir to a family of elite criminals. I mean, wasn't having a super famous ancestor and being expected to follow in their footsteps enough after the first time? Reincarnated!Tsunade, Fem!Tsuna

"The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world that there was only one of him." At the peak of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the final battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto ends in the death of the former. A hasty decision of atonement by the Last Uchiha in the afterlife, unravels a consequence both unforeseen and utterly unexpected.

Think of any series with a broken, inconsistent powers system. What comes to mind? Naruto? Bleach? Nah, the most headache inducing system is easily DxD and I have the dubious honor of being reborn in this world. Whoever did this didn't even give me the advantage of a Longinus or some noble lineage, the fucker. At least I'm not cannon fodder? !OC-Insert !Reincarnation/Transmigration

The Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy didn't come back to save the world. His only wish is to save his friends and assure their absolute happiness this time around. Even if he has to turn said world upside down while trying to achieve that. For better or for worse.

Tamamo has won! Ultimate House-wife Life, GET! "Eh, but something here isn't right..."

What happens when a hero of another story gets mixed up in the shenanigans of a pervert and his crew?

Shirou finds himself in a world not his own under peculiar circumstances. With a power, he couldn't even begin to comprehend... with a life he couldn't make head and tails off. Everything has changed for him that is certain but his ideals... they remain same. Saving people was something he could never stop.

After being cursed to die, Harry finds the will to live. Sky Arcobaleno!Harry, gen. MOD elements.

After saving Miyu and dying from his wounds, Emiya Shirou finds himself in a fantasy world, filled with magic, monsters, and masochists! Not to mention an explosion maniac, a worthless goddess, and hikkomori NEET. Can these 'heroes' defeat the Demon King? Lets test their luck! (Abandoned until further notice)

Part 1 of 2. No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be? AU, Thief!SI/OC, Pre!Fated Day Arcobaleno, very Pre!Canon

An accident with the Second Magic sends Shirou to another dimension. Trapped in a different world and a younger body, how will he manage to get back home? Perhaps the Hogwarts library has an "Inter-dimensional Travel" section.

In order to get them away from Alaya's eyes, Zelretch has Rin, Shirou and Saber reborn into a world where the age of Gods never ended and Alaya never came into existence. Not that this world seem any more stable than the one before it.

"Don't lie to him" Shikamaru felt the need to say, "He's observant". Ino felt her nose rumple in disbelief. "Is he?" she frowned, wondering if the Nara was joking. "Since when?" "Since always." He paused. "Especially with things that catch his interest."

The Ten Rings prove too dangerous to be left alone, and so the Winter Soldier is dispatched and acquire another asset. The assassinations would have gone rather well too, were it not for the fact Toni Stark was making her grand exit that day. In which Toni returns from her kidnapping with metal in her chest and an equally metal-armed bodyguard. (Female Tony Stark)

When I sold my soul to the Devil, I thought I was prepared for anything. I wasn't. I didn't expect him to be a her. Or dressed up as a magical girl carrying a pink wand tipped with a cheerful yellow star. Her being a prankster however didn't come as much of a surprise. You know, the Bible would have been a whole lot more interesting if they included stuff like this. Complete AU

He was their symbol. He was their hero. He was the Huntsman of Red, protector of the Kingdom of Vermillion.

What would you do if you were in the world of ninja? How would you react? What would you change?... How would you do it? SI OC. Rated T just in case.

You'll believe Taylor can fly.

Ilya likes to play video games, and in the time she has remaining, Shirou is more than willing to play the new VR game with her. But when they are trapped inside the game, [Sword Art Online], they determine something even more distressing: Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a Magus.

"You, who holds so much potential, are always limited. I want to see what you do when those limits are removed from the equation." And with those words, Zelretch altered a world. With those words, a Hero was born.

Everyone else was avoiding the strange man but Harry felt himself drawn to him. His loud, archaic speech and enthusiastic drinking seemed to be off-putting to most people but to the Gryffindor it felt comfortingly familiar how different the man was.

A mercenary company with a track record for killing dangerous capes and fighting wars are about to acquire a bug controlling teen, and a few others. Their enemies are so very fucked. Rated M for violence, cursing, and probably some implied sex at some point. I do not own Worm, or the Chronicles of the Black Company.

What would you do if you could see death? If you'd touched emptiness itself, had it invade your soul, infest your mind, and whisper in your ear, telling you how to kill anything? How would you handle knowing you could never not see, never not comprehend the end of everything? Because for Taylor, that's reality, and there are no easy answers. Kara no Kyoukai influences.

No Guild. No Items. No Level. And thus begin the adventure of a man who has absolutely nothing into an unfamiliar world

After the defeat of Voldmort didn't turn out quite like he envisioned, Harry stared into the Abyss preparing to prove something to himself, instead he tumbles into an experience he never expected, and he doesn't go alone.

The desperate battle to destroy the greater grail takes an unexpected turn as Shirou and Saber are launched into a new world. Dragons, blights, religious zealots and annoying nobles. It just doesn't get any better does it? ShirouxSaber

Alone and filthy, Taylor Hebert died in her school locker. Then, she got a second chance, reborn as Artoria Pendragon, King Arthur hi-HERself!

A rewrite of The Wizard of the Kaleidoscope. Added to the DLP Library.

Honestly, Shirou was beginning to think that he should be used to this; being unwittingly selected to take part in brutal tournament that he had no idea existed until he found himself in the middle of it. Then again, second times the charm, right?

Harry Potter wasn't raised like in canon. He was top of his class, and very intelligent, always seeking to improve things, and so he learned all kinds of things, and, upon entering Hogwarts, started studying all he could get his hands on! Intelligent!Super!Harry Later Mad Scientist!Harry Rated M for Language, Nudity, and Gore Stein-ish Harry Genres: Humor/Romance/slight Horror

She's a suave, flying personification of unstoppable demonic fury. But you can call her Mother Owl.
