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.

How would you expect a grand adventure to start? With a flair for the dramatic? No, no too obvious. Maybe then it could work that way. Everyone expects it to happen, so they think it won't happen, but it does! Subvert it then? How would you manage that? Have an ordinary day gone wrong?

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

All it takes is one stone thrown into a calm lake to cause ripples. One extra person who was never suppose to be there can be that metaphorical stone, even if they don't mean to be. Of course, when reborn into a new reality, it is almost impossible to not cause ripples. Self-Insert.

Surviving in the 78th district of South Rukongai was tough. When you were a ten-year-old girl with a baby to take care of, it was even harder. Getting reincarnated as Kuchiki Hisana after dying of cancer was never part of the plan. SI/OC, Pre-Canon

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.

Her new father was the Shoten shop keeper from that one anime with the swords. Shimei could only wonder what woman was crazy enough to get it on with Mr. Hat n' Clogs? Because really, Kisuke Urahara was NOT father material. SI-as-Urahara's-daughter.

I don't get it. You'd think that after I died, I'd have gone somewhere other than Suna...But ya know, there's something...Fun...about people backing away from you in fear. I'm not evil though...and I'm only scary when someone wants me to be. I don't see why that makes me a demon...but I'll take it. I've even got a rival. Gaara...he's full-time scary. SI OC

[SI-OC] I had hoped I wouldn't die so early in life. And honestly, I wasn't good ninja material. The most I knew was how to twirl a stick and ram a backpack filled with school supplies on someone's head — and yet some entity decided to plop me down into a world where you're either a ninja or a civilian — and the mortality rate wasn't good either way. My choice was kinda obvious.

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

Saul Dewitt is an average man living in Japan, having moved there from America, buying a house from a nice family with a kid. While he's there, the existence of Liminals, people with animal features is revealed, along with a bill and a program to exchange cultures, and he is chosen to host one. And, well, life changes. A lot. A Self-Insert, for the most part.

This started as a short story about how nerd weaponizes light. Now it is 'how quickly can we cover the entire Harry Potter series while adding progressively more technology and research into the mix.' Still a stupid story for the sake of stupid stories, though. Enjoy

Sometimes our lives seem to loop. Mine just happens to Loop with consequences. OC Self Insert Semi Hiatus

Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Monster Girls But Not in That Way You Weirdo. Yeah, it's a self insert fic. No, he's not sleeping with the cast. That and the really long title is probably the most accurate summary of this thing that you'll get.

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

Lots of people like the idea of becoming a part of one of their favorite works of fiction. No one likes being toyed with.

Once again, Kei's infamous luck spurs a brand new adventure. Only this time, there's no foreknowledge, a giant grumpy turtle monster not where he's supposed to be, and an ocean full of possibilities and danger in the same breath. She just knows she has to find some way to get home to Konoha. And what is all this business about pirates, anyway? (A Catch Your Breath side-story.)

Nerdboy falls into Fire Emblem. Nerdboy uses SCIENCE (dubiously) to solve problems. And when I say Science, I mean the kind that invariably happen when you give magic to someone who watches anime. Takes small elements across all of Fire Emblem universe.

I'd always been good at understanding things - be it science or language, comprehension came naturally to me. But what I couldn't understand, was the kind of power that can turn the tears of the dying into laughter. That knowledge was beyond me. But now, in this new world, I have a chance to grasp it, to understand it - the power of Fairy Tail. (Self-Insert; Lucy/OC)

Will break my bones, but words will change the world. A member of Team 7 has had to deal with a voice in their head for their entire life, how much can words change the ninja world? An SI you haven't read before

Part One, the beginnings of Sekanji Terazawa. Poison Mistress, occasional kunoichi Lady, and the aunt of Orochimaru. Part Two, the establishment of Konoha and the character of the village Founders. Part Three, the end.

OC Self Insert The story of Inoue Shiori, the civilian reincarnation that made her life in the Naruto World without directly interfering with the timeline and the ripples that she caused. Because I read so much SI's and needed to write one too. This is the REVISED VERSION. (no change in plot, just added dialog, scenes and fixed grammar)

"Life is a game, Yusei, and I'm going to teach you how to win." "But Shikaku-sensei, isn't that what you said about war this morning? And didn't you say 'every conversation is a battle to be won' just yesterday? I think I'm noticing a theme." SI OC

24-year-old computer programmer is reincarnated as a background character. Her first life was nothing special, but she's determined her second one will be. OC Self-insert.

In confusion I turned my head to the side to look at my body and I froze as I was met with orangey looking fur and four legs with paws on the end. Now, I was never the smartest kid in my classes, but I wasn't stupid either. I was in the body of some sort of canine. No, that wasn't right, I was a canine. OC story.

The story of Inoue Shiori, the civilian reincarnation that made her life in the Naruto World without directly interfering with the timeline and the ripples that she caused. OC, SI (Self Insert), AU

When I was first reincarnated I did the very first thing any self-respecting man in my place would do. Check to see if I still had my balls. I did. The next thing I did was try to get my hands on some power. True Power. I chose the Rinnegan. And if I had to kill a few people along the way to get it, well, there was a war going on. No one will notice an extra body or two turning up.

A young American teenager is reborn into the World of Ninjas and is determined to live her new life as a traveling merchant. Now if only she can stop making enemies with people who can breath fire and punch through steel. Cracky Oc-insert

You've been stuck in a time loop for decades when you fall down a sink hole, expecting to die. Instead you meet a flower with a fake smile (you die a lot). On the bright side, you might actually discover what causes the loops - you just have to find a human named Chara. This can only go well. OC-insert

Vic's just about as average a guy as you can get. He's just a guy who wants a little excitement in life. So when he finds himself unexpectedly in Republic City, he now finds himself having to perform one of the most difficult jobs in the world: keeping Korra out of trouble. Already he yearns for simpler times. (SI)

Being a boarder student can be difficult. For Honnouji Academy's own Zakku Yamashiro, it's a chore just to get out of bed every morning for the days that ensue.

Take one dead, thirty year old career soldier, stick in the body of a child during the Second Great Shinobi War. Add a mini-Namikaze Minato, ninjas, chakra, tailed beasts, and shake well. Is it any wonder she thought she was insane? Second/Third Great Ninja War era SI AU.

I have the worst luck ever. First off, I die. Then I get reborn into the Naruto universe. Yay right? WRONG. Nobody ever said you get to be reborn into Konoha. Which makes finding out where I am in the story line that much harder. I don't know if I can change anything, or if the bloodbath is far behind me. One thing's official though. I'm screwed. SI/OC Warning

Funny how a simple coin toss can change so many things. Rated M for later. OC main character.
