Living day to day as a messenger in the slums, Ruby thought her life was set out for her.

Wielding the power of a Wildmage and hunted by enemies and Arcanists alike, Ruby must find answers in the one place her kind cannot venture; the Arcane Collegium.

The Cross-Brain tells the main story of Jeremiah Cross and Soundbite and their travels with the Straw Hat Pirates. Here, however, is what the talented fans of This Bites! have created for "what else"s, "what if"s, and "what the ****"s.

Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

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.

Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Harry always knew that there was something unique about him. In a way, the arrival of the Hogwarts acceptance letters was almost expected... except, why are they all addressed to 'Harriet Potter?

Reborn on Planet Vegeta as the son of Bardock, I found that my new life was full of brawls, alien planets and a massive amount of screaming. With unknowns that my spotty memory could not have hoped to have predicted, will I become the Legendary Super Saiyan or will I become dust along with the Planet Vegeta? (Minus Based)

We all know the tale, The Emperor of Mankind creates Twenty Primarchs to conquer the Galaxy. Nine Fall to Chaos's taint and Let the Galaxy Burn. What if this was not the case?

Mixing the Potter kids with the Master of Death, not-so-secret horcruxes, haywire magic, and the dawning Second War could only end in catastrophe. All was well?

For the Potters are now stuck in a year where Voldemort is far more than a half-forgotten nightmare. — THIS IS BEING REWRITTEN AS ANOTHER STORY, 'A CURSED CLOCK!

Forced to admit that Crocea Mors didn't feel right in his hands—no matter how he held it—Jaune Arc struggled to overcome this obstacle through the insane idea that Aura could become more than just the armor that protected him. Barriers broke as he pushed past the limits of what Aura was capable of, creating and forging his very own weapons from the manifestation of his soul.

Ninja life in Konoha is confusing, ninja life in Kirigakure is worse. Dreaming of Sunshine Universe Fanfic, OC Self-Insert.

Jaune Arc hated dying. This is an odd state of being for one to state they hated, as dying happens only but once. Twice maybe if you're lucky. Then again, you aren't the universe's chew toy either... Jaune x Harem. Rated M for swearing, gore, sexual themes and terrible jokes.

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

It's not like there were any feelings involved.

Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More?

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

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.

Short bits of randomness from Coeur Al'Aran's story "Professor Arc," which has Jaune as a professor of Beacon Academy. Non-canon to that story, of course, but on the plus side, this story is recommended by four out of five doctors as a good source of your daily intake of craziness.

When your father is a Knight of the Cross and your twin sister is destined to become the Winter Lady, what can you do but try to fix things? Can I do so without making things worse?

Couple months later, I miss my step and become KIA. Guess where I get reborn? Wait, where the hell did my dick go!
