HPLV. Harry Potter has been reborn again and again into new bodies as the Master of Death—but he has always helped to defeat Voldemort in each new world. Now his slightly older brother is the target of the prophecy, and Harry assumes his role is to support Jonathan. At least, that's what he thinks until Voldemort kidnaps him that Halloween night.

Harry grows up watching anime and fantasizing about having superpowers. When his Hogwarts letter arrives, he jumps at the chance to live the life of a harem protagonist. Not a harem fic. Timeline moved forward to modern day.

I have a singularly impressive talent for messing up the plans of very powerful people - both good and evil. Somehow, I'm always just in the right place at exactly the wrong time. What can I say? It's a gift.

AU. Narcissa is actually the source of the Malfoy family's wealth—and not because she inherited the Black fortune, either. She's an in-demand spy and assassin. But now she's retired, and intent on using all her skills to make sure her baby boy gets what he wants. If that's Harry Potter, then Harry Potter he shall have.

It is not paradox to rewrite history, in the breath of a single moment a universe blooms into existence as another path fades from view, Tom Riddle meets an aberration on the train to Hogwarts and the rest is in flux. AU, time travel, Death!Harry, Tom/Lily and Tom/Harry, not threesome

Having been treated as a servant his entire life, Harry is more sympathetic when Dobby arrives, avoiding Vernon's wrath and gaining a bit of freedom. That freedom changes his summer, his life, and the world forever. A very long character-driven story that likes to play with canon.

Suppose Tom Riddle never bothers to show mercy, and Harry Potter dies with his parents? What would that mean for the world, to have no Boy-Who-Lived to save them? ("A couple of stubborn kids" just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

Kakashi loved Konoha a little less and his father a bit more. What happens next changes the face of history. However Team 7's destiny years later is still wrapped with the silver haired man's and an intricate dance begins.

Harriet Potter is back for a fourth year of quietly masquerading as her pureblooded cousin in order to pursue her dream.

Alanna the Lioness take on HP4.

Enter the world of Pokémon from a rational perspective. Instead of starting his journey in ignorance, Red has spent his years studying the creatures so central to his world... and he doesn't quite agree with all the information in his books. No time for rookie mistakes here: he's on a quest to discover the true nature of Pokémon, and maybe even find out where they really come from.

AU reboot of the entire SAO storyline, beginning from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee. As a result, he created the Death Game of Alfheim Online rather than the floating castle of Aincrad—a world in which PvP is not a crime, and the nine player races are in competition to escape. **SPOILERS IN REVIEWS**

Ash Ketchum has been determined to become the best since he was a toddler. He has his eyes set on a charmander, but a twist of fate led him to the humble Nidoran. Note: Mix between anime and the games.

Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

DISCONTINUED. Nana promised her son a new game if he got over 80-percent on his next test. She would regret that promise for the next two years as her world came crumbling down, like a cheap house of cards. SAO-survivor!Tsuna, pre-Reborn, Character-development!Nana. No Pairing.

Harry James Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, the Defeater of Voldemort, Chief Auror, Master of Death, finds that he is five years old. It should not surprise anyone that things in Magical Britain immediately become rather strange.

Reincarnating as a crow was nicer than you would think... until the Trouble Twins found the summoning scroll for the Karasu. Then they grew on her and she had to save their lives. How annoying. They better gave her lots of almonds or she'll elope with the ninken summoner! - Uchiha Massacre Fix-it

An attempt to go against a popular trope. What if, instead of becoming dark/grey and gaining more power that way, Harry had been a little more considerate? Begins with a small change in first year, and sticks close to the original, but sometimes small changes can add up to change the world.

Inspired by Silver Queen's "Dreaming of Sunshine." Ripples turn into waves and crash upon the shores of what is and what could be, and I was just someone else who got pulled under. I didn't realize that even a drowning person makes waves of their own. A SI OC story.

Out of all the kekkei genkai she would have liked to get, the eyes of Samsara wouldn't be her first - or second - choice. So naturally, that was the exact one she got. SI-OC/Itachi. Uchiha!SI-OC. Rinnegan!SI-OC.

This is an extremely girly self-insert, very likely a Mary-Sue type of story, where a lot of the characters aren't at all straight. I thought I'd let you know straight up so you can just pass it by it if that's likely to upset and/or offend you. Otherwise - welcome to the Malfoy family.

He had been captured; Alex Mercer knew that much was obvious. But if that was the case, why had his captors just left him there without security? How had he ended up in a bunker buried in some kind of giant desert? Where was everyone? And when the hell did bottlecaps become currency?

Better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path. Better still to be the consort of Hades than a part of his collection of souls.

Basic medicine and sanitation are simple. During the Warring Clans era, they become revolutionary. [OC-Insert]

When Goku and Krillin are sent to find Roshi a 'Pichi Pichi girl', a woman falling through the sky interferes with the destiny that had previously been laid out for them. When Sakura's strength wavers at a critical moment, she falls through dimensions and the destiny she worked so hard for vanishes into dreams. AU: If Goku and Krillin brought Sakura Haruno home instead of Launch.

Petunia Dursley has trouble: she's lost her family, she's going crazy, she can do magic (but not always), her suitors are a mixed bag (operative word) & people keep trying to take her children away from her. They should be very afraid. (Not only a) Double Severitus. WARNING: Not what you expected.

Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

Time travel, based on the Anime. So, the world ended. That's bad news. Who best to get to fix it? Well, there is this guy with a track record in world saving... Not entirely serious. T rating may be overdoing it.

A min-maxing Self-Insert ruins himself at character creation.

Tom Riddle didn't anticipate an interesting new arrival... but he can work with this. TMR/HP

It's time to stop waiting for other people to save you. A story about fear, resilience, and Sakura.

Terence 'Terry' Boot was an ordinary bloke. So why – why? – did he find himself in this mess? Where the hell had they ended up to? Just who were these Shadow Court members? And how could Potter, Malfoy, Granger and Longbottom be so calm about it all!

What if Giles were the Big Bad of season 1?

To Harry Potter, Fifth Year seemed like the same as any other. Classmates, homework, new dangers, Voldemort risen in the shadows… the usual, even with a Dementor attack kicking things off.

Harry finds juggling studying for his Muggle IGCSEs and his Hogwarts subjects harder than he expected, especially with the distraction of Sirius Black escaping Azkaban.

When a red-headed girl appears out of nothingness, bleeding out in his bedroom, and declares herself to be a ninja of Konoha, eight-year-old Tom Riddle decides that his needs are best served in a place other than England. side fic to "Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds"

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were not in fact the only rookies in that year. This genin was going to be normal, emotionally well-balanced and happy if it killed her. Which, in Konoha, was almost a statistical certainty.

Harry Potter beat Voldemort but died in the process. In a strange place with options to replay his life in a world of either Light or Dark, Harry makes what seems to be the obvious choice and intends to use this 'Game' to ensure that he never fails his friends again.

If Peter had met the symbiont while it was still intact, its mind clear and its purpose undecided, would he have so easily rejected the partnership? AU Post Homecoming

Harry was never the only person with a penchant for tripping into the most absurd of situations. Reincarnated!Hermione. Somewhat darker than the usual take on Naruto. Political machinations. Character progression. Strong friendship, no romance.

Naruto Self-Insert. Just because you find yourself in Konoha doesn't mean you forget every other anime you've seen.

If you could do it all over again, what would you change, who would you sacrifice, who would you save? Dean wakes up in 2007 with over a decade worth of memories that haven't happened yet and choices to make that will change the world forever. (Spoilers through season 11, time travel)

When I reincarnated in the world of Naruto, I was lucky enough to live in Konoha but not lucky enough to get all the superpowers you could hope for. I failed my jounin-sensei test and ended up in the Genin Corps. Bye bye jounin rank but, considering it also meant avoiding the battlefield, that's fine with me. Now I just had to get a position allowing me to change History...

Side stories from 'Of the River and the Sea'. Includes canon snippets that didn't quite fit, AU's of the story, and crack. SI/OC. Shenanigans. It's all shenanigans.

One of my earliest memories is of my cousin showing me his team, and telling me how he'd found each one. For years after that, my starter and I would play trainer: she'd pretend to be something majestic and rare, and I'd be the awesome trainer who would catch her and show her the value of human friendship. In hindsight, I had no idea what being a trainer is actually like.

Experimentation is the lifeblood of fuuinjutsu research. Aiko was doing that noblest of pursuits at home on a Saturday night, and then she had to fling a fruit cart at rudely persistent kiri nin. ...That does happen to other people, right? This starts off very silly because it was meant to be only one drabble answering "what would Aiko do in canon?" Then it grew on me. Vapors pt3

If you could start your life over, knowing how things could turn out, what would you do differently? Cloud is offered this chance, and tries to change the future, but he quickly discovers that fate and destiny play a high stakes game.

Luckily, lazy came up in Petunia's tirades slightly more often than freak, otherwise, this could have been a very different story. AU. Not your usual Hufflepuff!Harry story.

In a barren land incapable of sustaining life, a Miko, whose most basic and most principal of powers is to give and nurture life, must seem divine in nature. It's not simple Mokuton, said Sunagakure village elders, Mokuton only affects wood and cannot give life to dead crops. It definitely does not resurrect a village on the brink of historic financial depression either.

A little bit of misdirection was needed to coax Naruto into Jiraiya's infamous three-year training trip... but was this really the kind of 'training' that was supposed to happen? Rated for language and possible situations later on.

The Wizarding World is convinced of Voldemort's return a year early, but the Dark Lord is neither a fool nor one to let grass grow under his feet. Indeed, he has already started to cull out anyone who can work against him. Will Sherlock, John, and Harry defeat Voldemort and his schemes before it is too late? The sequel to A Study In Magic.

Harry Potter catches Voldemort's AK to the noggin only to find out that his life is a video game and he forgot to save. So what does he do? Does he return on Hard mode and work for the challenge?

For saving the lives of his friends, Bilbo gets their eternal gratitude. For trying to save his own, he gets the immortal curiosity of a dragon. A Hobbit/Sherlock crossover.

... How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cruciatus. Albus Dumbledore always worried about the parallels between Harry Potter and Tom Riddle.

To make a tragedy, you break something beautiful and frame the pieces. To make a victory, you break something mighty and rebuild it piece by piece. To make a life, you glue the pieces together and hope for the best. Kurama's still getting the hang of this 'human' thing, but since he's 30 years back in time with a blond brat to save, he'll have to figure things out on the fly. Slash

In 1991, a child came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with obvious gifts, but which few suspected would change the world... Oh, and Harry Potter enrolled that year as well. *** A few tweaks to canon, plus extrapolating Hermione's apparent intelligence realistically. I expect events to diverge fairly quickly. ;) *** cover image cc by-nc RooReynolds @ Flickr

Pull a thread and the tapestry unravels. A song of ice and fire from the very first note. All the difference a drunk, a dwarf and a dragonbone dagger might have made in the right order. An audacious attempt to weave something new from the same web G R R Martin has spun. Likely to be epic length, and to contain aspects of all genres. Will be written faster than Winds of Winter!

Albus Dumbledore was too late. Someone else managed to defeat Gellert, leaving chaos and too many questions behind. Tom Riddle, who recently graduated from Hogwarts, was fully committed to become the greatest Dark Lord of all time, chasing immortality and surpassing Grindelwald's legacy. It's too bad that Unspeakable Harry Potter had something to say about that. HP/TR. Time travel

The Dursley family, who valued normalcy above all else, would of course never dream of keeping their orphan nephew in a cupboard, or of making a spectacle of him.

"At least the other clan kids of the series had something to protect themselves with practically from birth. Sakura was blessed with the oh so helpful gift of a larger than average forehead." The remedy is often worse than the disease it cures. I refused to be that remedy. OC-insert as Sakura Semi-AU

Fear can make you do stupid things. When you're two years behind Itachi, that's a luxury you can't afford. Drama, Angst, Humor, Horror, Bad Decisions, FFN is shit about tags, Read this on SpaceBattles, SI/OC

Part 3 of Akatsuki!Kiba. "So," Kiba asks, "what's with the asshole in the basement?"

Part 2 of Akatsuki!Kiba. Now that the frantic terror of killing Danzō, fleeing Konoha, and ending up recruited by Pein is done with, being a missing-nin is a lot more boring than Kiba thought it would be.

Hermione would like to think that she was old enough and mature enough to have a handle on her temper, only clearly she didn't, because it was 1991 and she was eleven. Again. Over a stupid slur and Pansy Parkinson being her predictably spiteful self.

Izumo Kamizuki is a good chunin. If you need someone to guard Konoha's gates, he's your guy. If you need someone to go back in time to save the world from a Rinne Sharingan-wielding Rabbit Goddess… he'd probably refer you to someone higher up, like Kakashi or Naruto. Regardless, the entire world has gone to hell and apparently he's the only one left to do the job.

In a world with a pragmatic, intelligent Voldemort, Harry discovers that he has the power to live, die and repeat until he gets it right.

Sawada Kou is a fast-paced fourteen-year-old girl in her second year of middle school, plagued by low blood pressure, her status as a social pariah, and an elaborate extended family drama. But that's nothing in comparison to what the man from Italy brings to her door... (fem!Tsuna, adult!Arco)

Part 1 of Akatsuki!Kiba. In the aftermath of the Akatsuki's attempt to capture Naruto, Kiba makes a choice. It's not a good one, but someone has to make it, and it may as well be him.

Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven years to figure out why.

AU. Sai just wants to play Go. To do so, he needs Shindou Hikaru - a street-smart kid involved in the local crime syndicate who is more concerned with making ends meet than playing games. For both to survive, they may just have to compromise...

Sai wakes up to find everything he'd gone through to be a dream; he is a professional Go player that has already conquered the top players. Longing for what was, Sai seeks out his student - only Shindou Hikaru isn't exactly what Sai had expected. Hikaru hadn't been expecting an eccentric Go pro to be crashing into his life either. AUish
