Kasumi Kurosawa thought she had gotten lucky. She was reborn as the daughter of a farming couple, all the way on the outskirts of Fire Country and far from Konoha. She thought she had a peaceful, safe life ahead of her. She was wrong, of course, because things are never that easy - that didn't mean she had to be happy about it, though. SI/OC

In which the Self-Insert is confident, cheerful and striving for a happy (second) life. Citizens of Konoha, meet little Miss Positivity.

Robin is a young woman who bakes cakes during the day, sleeps at night, and drinks on weekends. She does not wage wars, fight demons, or solve dating issues. Yet, somehow by divine mistake, she's found herself doing just that. Clearly, someone has her confused with another Robin...

In which Bella is confident, cheerful and striving for a happy (second) life. Cullen Clan, meet little Miss Positivity. (Self Insert)

Rewriting reality isn't as easy as they'd hoped, and some things can't be avoided. Still, it could be worse, and they've already changed things; most for the better. (Sequel to Lucid Dreams)

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

The mission is simple: Infiltrate the most famous hero academy in all of Japan as undercover security, at least until All for One is brought down for good. There are a few steps missing in this plan, Kei knows, but that's not her concern. No, she has a different problem to juggle on top of cultural context, keeping under the radar, and a universe full of superpowers: high school.

Tsukiko got reunited with her brother Shugo. The meeting spurred more questions than it answered and now apparently she needs to figure out her own memories... that she didn't really live but her Detective Conan World -counterpart Hoshi apparently lived. And on the side the canon plot still goes on. SI-OC, Self-Insert, Sequel to Dream or Not.

Being reborn in a chaotic fantasy world of superhuman pirates isn't quite as terrifying as being reborn the daughter of a heartless, gluttonous cannibal. [OC, AU, extended one-shot]

A rewrite of Sakura. In which a blunt, and eccentric OC is placed into the body of Sakura Haruno at the start of the series. Nothing at all could possibly go wrong.

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.

The cycle of rebirth is a heavy burden for one soul to bear, but perhaps one does not need to carry it alone. Self-Insert OC SI/OC

The wolf was restless tonight.

Kuran Akasha knew that living as a vampire wasn't all teenage fantasy cracked it up to be. It was much more difficult, especially for a pureblood. SI-OC as the daughter of Rido Kuran.

As it turned out, the Twilight Saga was alot more interesting than the books made it out to be. It was too bad it took Esper experiencing reincarnation to figure that out. SI-OC!As-Alice's-Great-Niece. Psychic!SI-OC

She would shape the future in her favor because if there was one thing she wouldn't do as Misa Amane, it was die over a man. SI!Misa Amane

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.

She found it odd that whatever entity decided she deserved rebirth, put her in the DC universe - especially since she was more of a Marvel fan. Meta!SI-OC/Jason Todd.

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)

When a girl from our world takes advantage of a quirk in the reincarnation system, guess whose body she ends up in? See what changes when the stupid cow isn't so stupid - nor a cow. What else will change when she retains knowledge from her previous life?

There are areas in the Department of Mysteries off-limits for very good reasons. When Harry stumbles into one of them, he finds himself reborn, literally, into a new world. A new world with a father, and family, and a chance to live. For real. Slash. Ignis/Harry, Noct/Luna. SLOWBURN

Miyano Akemi is nineteen, celebrating her birthday with her best friend and flat mate Harumori Nabiki. They are at a bar, having good time. Akai Shuichi is twenty-four, doing information gathering for his future mission in two years' time. He is at a bar, taking a break from investigation. One thing leads to another. Nine months later, Moroboshi Chiyuki is born. SI-OC, Self-Insert

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

Lari was worried. After his sister began behaving strangely, he'd been worried. And it had been years now. She just spontaneously lost interest in DC and suddenly got it back... Strange. He has a lead now. DC-World itself and Okiya Tsukiko. Finding and hacking his way in, what will happen. He's just following her footsteps, right? Same universe than Dream or Not. SI-OC. Self-Insert

Cloud Strife has a secret- he can speak to Gods. Being tailed by a hyperactive best friend (and investigated by the 3 most prestigious men in SOLDIER) can make running errands for deities kinda hard. Minerva have mercy. Eventual ASGZC.

Short stories with dubious canon, unusual perspectives, and flashbacks related to Catch Your Breath that don't fit into the main Catch Your Breath storyline for whatever reason. Ratings of individual stories will vary.

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.

Snippets from the D.O.S. story line.

There are advantages to becoming one of the monsters you used to slay, but vampiric powers are no substitute for actual parenting skills. More than 830 years later, Raizel remains completely helpless in the face of human cuteness and wants to adopt everything that moves. Thank goodness Frankenstein has all that practice caring for children.

Funny, the things people do in the name of Glory. [OC-centric, reborn!OC, eSports!OC, starts pre-canon, AU][QZGS]

What if Harry had somehow gotten involved with the mafia after Voldemort's defeat? What if Reborn was just a little too bored? What if the Conqueror met Chaos personified? Harry/Reborn

Mirai means future. And a lot of hopes were placed on her when she was created. She was one of a kind but perfectly ordinary too. Though there was one trait no one predicted she would have. Knowledge of this world when it was just a manga for her. She used to live in another world. She used to live another life. After dying she had a new chance to try again. SI-OC fic, Self-Insert.

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!

It takes just one night. One night that loosens his tongue and Skull can't lie anymore. Well, he can, but the selective blindness of his fellow ex-Arcobaleno vanished the instant he spoke the words, "I was a soldier." Now that they've seen his scars, from Voldemort, Malfoy Manor and the battles he's fought, now that they have seen the truth...everything changes.

When people asked Hisashi what his Quirk was, he'd flash a grin and say he breathed fire. It was a small lie, easier to say than 'my human skin is too small and some bits slip out' despite the fact he never checked whether or not he had that toe joint. Izuku wasn't born Quirkless. He was born something else.

Xanxus makes a decision and follows through on it, far-reaching consequences be damned. It's harder than it sounds. (Post-canon, canon-typical violence, crime and child abuse, exploration of trauma and recovery, panic attacks, non-traditional relationships, family fluff.) Third in the 'Pick up the Pieces' series. Cover art by mayurei.

It was simple maths that such a young phoenix couldn't hope to match a millennia old Basilisk,. Thus, Harry Potter went up in flames, and Lumen Stella Proelia was reborn in them. Fate's plans were saved, but the method in which would be drastically changed. Slash. Prompto/Harry, Luna/Noctis, Cindy/Aranea

Tsuna was eleven when he was hit by a car and walked away from the incident unscathed. He was twelve, when he fell from his bedroom window and woke to his mother's frantic face with nothing to show for his fall. He was thirteen when he realised he couldn't quite die. Then he turned fourteen and a baby in a suit showed up and nothing else is quite the same.

Remembering being a person when you were created to be anything but is not as simple as it sounds. Rebuilding yourself from shattered glass and smoldering ashes is more complicated than it seems. (In which Niflheim tries to create a weapon that can stand up to the might of Lucian magic and bites off more than they can chew. Magic isn't a toy. And it doesn't take kindly to leashes.)

Xanxus wrestles with the healing process, changing relationships and Don Vongola's expectations. (Post canon, canon-typical violence, crime and child abuse, exploration of trauma and recovery, consent issues, theology, religious intolerance, non-traditional relationships, family fluff.) Second in the 'Pick up the Pieces' series. Cover art by mayurei.

Approved one-shots based on Silver Queen's Dreaming of Sunshine fic. Composed of different POVs, AUs and snapshots of Nara Shikako's life. Synopsis: Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert.

Jaden Yuki didn't know what he was thinking when he approached the kid with a kuriboh, but he doesn't regret anything . Disclaimer: Don't own YU-GI-OH, or Harry Potter. I only own the plot.

Huh. Sawada Tsunayoshi might be a meek kid, but his friends were clearly a bloodthirsty, protective lot if their first reaction to Reborn was to kill him. He might actually enjoy this job. In which everything is different, and yet Tsuna ends up in exactly the same mess.

Because sooner or later, everyone dies. Fem!MoD!Harry

After floating listlessly at the Roots of Yggdrasil for years, the Mistress of Death finally returned home. Of course, the infamous Potter Luck immediately crashed in and she was thrown into a life of chaos and destruction once more. Except this time, she wasn't the one with the gravitational pull for danger. It was her brother, Tony. Ron. Tony.. Ugh, it's complicated. Fem!Harry

Following the Arcobaleno Battles Xanxus tries to get his life back together and makes a friend along the way. (Post-canon, canon-typical violence, crime and child abuse, exploration of trauma and recovery, non-traditional relationships, family fluff.) First in the 'Pick up the Pieces' series. Cover art by mayurei.

"'It gives me a hundred chances,' he thinks, even as his hands scrabbled for something sharp amidst the chaos. 'To do it again, better this time.' A knife against his throat, a red smile in his skin." Izuku dies to a villain at the age of fourteen, his hero a step too late. He wakes that morning with the chance to try again. And again. And again. Until he gets it right.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." In which Ienari was picked to be Decimo instead of Tsuna, but that's okay because Tsuna was always destined for bigger things than being a mafioso. Twin!Fic. Eventual R27

Time Travel. It's the end of the Battle of Hogwarts but the price has been high. The Golden Trio dearly wished that they could have done more to save lives and fate decides to grant their wish. Follow them as they redo their years at Hogwarts, starting from First year and work to make a difference in the wizarding world. All while trying to keep their true selves a secret.

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

Wherein Sawada Tsunayoshi is a mythological creature magnet, and it doesn't seem to matter much where those creatures come from. (It starts with the unicorn, and things just get worse from there. The Mafia won't know what hit it.)

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.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was a strange child. Reborn couldn't put his finger on it. It felt… scripted, like every reaction he had received from the teenager was being acted out. Time loops

"What if, one day, you realized that you weren't meant to be a fighter, yet you had to anyway because it was expected of you by everyone. If that was all you ever knew, would you have chosen a different path?" Link gave a wry grimace, because he already tried. He had already tried everything he could to avoid this. Just like Zelda, he never had a choice. [SI!Link with a twist. AU.]

All Might finds an unwanted baby on a doorstep, and the future takes a few steps to the left. Fatherhood, Heroing, growing pains, and love. Everything and nothing changes, all at once. Erasermight.

All Might rescues a rather prickly Doctor with a dark past and finds his life taking a most unexpected change. For someone so small, there's a lot of personality there, and he can't help but be drawn to that, like a moth to a flame. Slash, Toshinori/Harry.

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.)

Six years old Cloud Strife was only minding his own business, but randomly getting an older brother was kind of awesome. Even if he now lived inside his head and claimed his name was Cloud Strife too. Time-travel with a twist, slow-building SephirothxAC!Cloud.

In which Tsuna is an amalgamation of Flame and /flame/ and canon is ditched early on. And the only thing Reborn can do when he gets a letter from Vongola is /laugh/. Dabble Style. R27, and tons of backstory. Not in chronological order.

Vampire attacks weren't unknown, but Dr. Frankenstein hadn't thought they would ever occur somewhere he lived. He might not be these people's lord or their priest, but a doctor is still called to save their patients.

Naruto, at 26, has lived through 10 years of war. At the end, with nothing left to call home, he sends himself back to the beginning, to the day of his younger self's graduation, in an attempt to change it all. Time travel AU.

The first time I died, I was brought to another life. Then I kept dying. And coming back. Like a zombie with super healing. Why I keep dying you ask? Well, I have a twin brother who's possessed by a raging tiger spirit that takes over his body in the moonlight and has a tendency to kill me sometimes. Proooobably not a healthy relationship, but I love him anyways... haitus? Sorry!

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

The ripples caused by a tiny pebble can spread across an entire lake. Now imagine if you replaced that pebble with a boulder...in which Gon travels back in time and Changes Things. Aka the obligatory time travel fic, because every fandom deserves one. Warning: Complete and utter crack.

"Demons aren't born, otou-sama. They're made." (And from the murky depths of your darkest mistakes, your deepest regrets and your own pitiful worthlessness, I draw my first breath.) [SI/OC, Uchiha!OC, Third War, AU]

Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men. - Herodotus Skull, Death and the theory behind immortality.

Or, Shinichi becomes Death, and it's not funny except in the sense that it – well, kind of is. [for the prompt: "I had a near death experience." OH BE QUIET. I WAS NOWHERE NEAR YOU.]

The process of reincarnation isn't perfect, especially when it comes to the reincarnation of a soul that was very old and powerful during its previous life. Harry is a living example of this phenomenon, but it is not as great a blessing as you might expect. Death always takes its toll, and it's a heavy one.

For once, Cloud has his life sorted out. Going from delivery boy to travelling healer in the post-Meteor world, he finally has peace. When Denzel travels back through time, he has to leave it all behind to help his son in the world he thought he escaped. But taking Hojo's job? That was an accident. Mostly.

Complete. Reborn is never going to believe another word that comes out of Iemitsu's mouth ever again. (Or, Tsuna gets himself a teacher, a new skillset, and a family that's going to be twice as insane as in canon. Reborn is not amused.)

The scary thing is, when you've been stuck in a video game for long enough, it's Earth that starts looking like a dream. But I know it's not. I have to get back home...no matter how impossible it may seem. Self-insert.

When something unexpected happens you usually freeze, right? Or at least get confused and try to convince yourself it's just a dream. I manage to find myself in the world of Detective Conan. What has happened and what will happen next? Weaving a web of half-truths is likely option and that's exactly what's happening. Self-insert/OC. CHAP 1-22 REWRITTEN. finally...

[Devil Survivor 2, Yamato/Hibiki] What would you do if you knew the future? Hibiki seeks out Yamato, the only Child of Possibility in a position to undertake something as massive as changing the world. But without Yamato's memories of their week together, Hibiki will have to be very persuasive if he hopes to change Yamato's mind before they run out of time.

Because sorcery and science don't always cover everything, and legendary artifacts of power have their own twists within reality. Timetravel.

Harry as an elfling on Arda. A new world, a new life, a new chance. A new hope to finally find that which he had been searching for for such a long time. Can he truly start afresh, or are the shadows of his past too lasting to shake off?

Throw a pebble into a pond, and watch the ripples tear through its surface. And remember, just because these ripples aren't as eye-catching when thrown amidst high ocean waves, doesn't mean they don't exist. OC, drabble-ish format [AU "sequel" to Polaris]

Jenova's legacy, living on through the Sorceresses, is forcing Squall to face an unstable Seifer, Cloud Strife, and yet another potential end of the world. Maybe paperwork really wasn't so bad. COMPLETE.

(Sets You Off Against the Planet's Last Dance) Cloud was born with two mothers - one human and one not. The story changes from there. Demigod!Cloud.

It may have been a mere slap on the wrist for long lived nobles, but what no one else knows is that he spent every moment of those years in the dark living through nightmares yet to pass. A Rael time travel fic. Beginning as far back as Season 3 and the Lukedonia arc. Spoilers up to #395. *Edited recently*

The city is different, and M-21 can't place why. That's when he bumps into his younger self and he's sure Tao would say something along the lines of 'We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto'. Except he still is. Just not in the time he's used to anymore.

Stop Sephiroth. Save Zack. Defeat Jenova. It all seems impossible; I'm just one person. But if I'm going to be trapped here, thrust into the world of Final Fantasy VII by some forces beyond my control, then I have to at least try. Maybe along the way I'll find a way home. Self-insert.

Part of Unavoidable Truth series. Yaoi. Riku and Sora have made the move to Radiant Garden, and the countdown to Riku and Cloud's wedding is coming to an end. However, there's a few surprises and an unexpected appearance to tackle before anyone gets their happy ever after. The crossover piece for A Life Renewed.

Cloud's first thought on waking in the Shinra training grounds..."Where's the hidden camera?". What is one supposed to do when they find themselves inexplicably in the past? Become a terrorist four years early, of course. And look up a few old friends.

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

The thud of Shirogane's braid against the floor whispers of loss and fallen comrades. It is a quiet sound that is testament to the Shadow King's loneliness.

Ten year old Kudo Shinichi wakes up to find that his mother and father are, quite simply, gone. (Done for the "Survival" contest at Poirot Cafe Forums. Warning for brief but fairly graphic description of the already dead. No pairings.)

Fate asks Harry a favour. To sleep for thousands of years to fulfil another Prophecy in the future, and in return She and her sisters would grant his wish of a family.

The Pandora gem was supposed to cry tears of immortality. It didn't. And Kuroba Kaito lives on. (Done for the third Super Short contest at Poirot Cafe Forums. No pairings.)

Gin does not fear death. (Violence and character death. No pairings.)

"How funny," he finally says. "That's my name, too." [Uchiha!OC, SI OC, Second/Third War, AU]

He was done playing the hero, now he was just a regular selfish bloke who helped out with the little things where he could, but who left the big problems of this world to someone else. Because this wasn't his world and it was someone else's problem. Harry's problem, at the moment, consisted of the suddenly very alive and awake man and his squished strawberry plot.

Tao brought out his pocket computer and flicked it open. He peered at it for a second and then looked up at Frankenstein. "There's movement in the recovery room."

It's curious, how even the tiniest ripples in the ocean of the cosmic universe can stir the waves of reality. SI OC, drabble-ish format. [COMPLETE] Ch12 AN: "Sequel" up!

The Planet isn't willing to let death take away its greatest weapon. If Cloud can't save the past, then he'll be damned to watch history repeat itself. Time travel, SxC, ZxA.

On that fateful day, when a child grown visited his childhood home and a dying sorceress passed on her powers, it wasn't another sorceress they found, but a young boy running lost. -Sorceress!Squall-

From Aselia to Earth, Earth to Rieze Maxia. I just can't catch a break. But hey, at least we managed to kill Mithos, right?

At first he had always thought that it was normal – that everyone could see what he saw. Eyes were windows to the soul, he had heard someone say, and he knew that that was true. But it had been distracting, seeing the truth shining through so clearly.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Or predicted by the most imprecise branch of magic. Both Albus Dumbledore and Clow Reed should have remembered this...

Touya had known what was coming far longer than Sakura, and frankly he also knows that he's in a better position to take on the magical burden than his imouto. He knows magic when he sees it. Touya/Yukito, a little Sakura/Syaoran. Don't own. Complete.

oneshot, complete, don't own. Harry likes to get lost in a good book, but someone else just wants him to get lost. A bit of magic and Harry suddenly realises new meaning in that phrase. Well, at least he's making friends... HxL implied
