All Sophie wanted to do was make bombs and go to war for the World Government. Naturally, she ends up strapped to an operating table with a pirate injecting poison into her foot. Sometimes you gotta take a few detours before you find your way home. — LawOC.

By the end of the Third Shinobi War, she gained a spot in most Bingo Books with various monikers attached to her name: "Poison Apple," "Bloody Princess," and "The Mad Butcher." However, a small handful of Leaf ninja had another moniker for her: "The Bloody Oracle of Kiri". (Or: An SI/OC who's already got a screwed up moral compass and fits right in with the Bloody Mist.)

A girl reborn into the world of ninja wants to escape the cycle of violence. Power is the only thing that brings freedom in the ninja world and she will have freedom... at any cost. However breaking the bonds she forms won't be as simple as she imagines. AU SI.

Femininity is not weakness. Courage does not exist without fear. Hope is lost the moment you stop fighting. A grittier take on the 'girl falls into another world' trope.

Expect to unexpect the unexpected. My life was a lie when I got born into the most unorthodox circumstances of a reincarnation in the world of flying ninjas. Semi-serious parody of self-inserts, crack-ish.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the universe, and any isolated system in it, demonstrates an inexorable tendency to slide toward a state of increasing disorder… Or, in which a clueless girl makes everything worse with the assistance of an international ninja terrorist.

Life in the world of One Piece…isn't so great as one would think. Of course, I'm in no position to talk, considering how lucky I've been. Though, if there's one thing I've learned the hard way since my first life, it's that luck eventually runs out. SI OC [Cover Art: kurobook]

Harry Potter is not standing up in his crib when the Killing Curse strikes him, and the cursed scar has far more terrible consequences. But some souls will not be broken by horrible circumstance. Some people won't let the world drag them down. Strong men rise from such beginnings, and powerful gifts can be gained in terrible curses. (HP/HG, Scientist!Harry)

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.

... How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cruciatus. Albus Dumbledore always worried about the parallels between Harry Potter and Tom Riddle. But let's be honest, Harry never really had the drive to be the next dark lord. Of course, things may have turned out quite differently if one of the other muggle-raised Gryffindors wound up in Slytherin instead.

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

"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

Fate's strings are really more of a garotte at this point. - In which an SI OC ends up as Uchiha Sasuke's twin sister, and commences planning because this is either a seriously entertaining coma or her unfortunately permanent new reality.

A normal, though rather vertically challenged, young woman appears in the Naruto world through what she thinks might have been a freak accident. Problem is, she knows absolutely nothing about said world. Somehow she manages to burn Google translate into her own brain, and also have everyone out for her blood...literally. OC Self-insert. Incomplete Story.

What if Professor Oak was a reasonable man who didn't send Red out into the world, alone, at age ten? What if Pokémon didn't automatically obey the first person to slap them in a ball, fire-breathing lizards were considered a public safety hazard, and even a weak Thundershock of sufficient amperage could induce lethal ventricular fibrillation?

"I have never heard of a world noble apologizing before," he said. "Let me introduce myself to you now, as a business partner. I am Fisher Tiger." She offered her hand through the bars. He took it and gave her a firm shake. "I hope this works." SI/OC

...Oh wait, it did. Semi-SI.

Desperate mothers will do anything to protect their children, even sign them up to become child soldiers. SI/ third war era AU.

Suzuki must deal with the consequences as she clashes with her past life while trying to find her place in the secretive world of the shinobi where no one is what they seem. OC Self-Insert.

It's quite sad to say there are definitely worse things than being covered in bugs, as one victim of circumstance finds out the hard way after being reborn into a fictional world. Of course, fictional, for Aburame Shiki, has now become factual. SI OC [Cover Art: UnstableFable]

They were the clan everyone avoided, for a good reason. But Hashirama wasn't like other people and Karma ended up tangling in the ninja world revolution anyway. What he didn't know was that she knew the script of the story. OC Self-insert

Being a ninja is hard enough when you work for the good guys, let alone when you get reincarnated into a family of psychopaths. SI

A foul-mouthed, snarky and genre savvy jaywalker finds herself decorating the asphalt and reborn into a stratocracy where child soldiers are the norm. People she comes to care for will die and she's unwilling to play the hero… but as Kurenai, maybe she has to. Or not. [SI]

One mistake. One wayward soul. Now, running around Konoha is a small, blind girl, who by all rights should not exist. What are the consequences that arise from a reincarnation that was never supposed to happen? And who knows what changes would be wrought should the memories of a past life ever be regained... — OC self-insert. Gen.

And how do Trafalgar Law, the Heart Pirates, and the so-called Pirate Queen factor in all of this? A contemplative, comprehensive take on OCs, Mary Sues and their parodies, all deconstructed with a macabre twist. Not a bashfic!

It really started off as nothing more than a strange dream. Every night, Demetra would dream the same thing, an open blue sea, an endless sky, and a crew of notorious pirates. Next thing she knew, she went from being an invisible bystander to more.

During a Cybertronian 'peace,' ex-Cons decide to hide the sentience of and sell humans as pets to secure Earth. Sam and Mikaela might just be the first to grasp the reality of the situation alongside their new mech owner.
