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

During the zanpakuto rebellion, some shinigami report seeing a strange wolf-like sword spirit amongst the rebels. At first, its appearance is dismissed as belonging to a lower ranked shinigami...until it accidentally knocks Kenpachi Zaraki through a wall. (Starrk-centric)

when eighteen-year-old, post-war Sakura is thrown back into her tiny, pre-Academy body, she makes a decision. she'd had a childhood once already, and this time, she's more interested in Not Dying when the inevitable shit hits the proverbial fan. so she will work harder, care less, kill more, and smile when she's done. (Time Traveller!Sakura, ROOT!Sakura, Mokuton!Sakura)

During the mission to Wave, Sakura realises that she has to become a better ninja for her teammates' sake and be someone they can depend on. She vows to take her training seriously, and receives help from the most unlikely of sources; Genma Shiranui. The two form an unlikely bond and stick together through thick and thin, while Sakura improves and meets other people along the way.

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

If you are the only one to remember something, did it still happen? Time travel doesn't always work the first time, it doesn't even always work the second time; Naruto knows this well. Going back to live through your childhood again is a small price to pay to avoid the end of the world...if he ever succeeds, that is. Thankfully, he's not as alone in this adventure as he assumes.

Due to a paperwork mistake in God's waiting room, I was reincarnated with my memories intact. No pain, no gain, or so they say. But with a bit of luck, this might just turn out alright.

While attending the Academy, Sakura's field experience assignment with the Konohagakure Intelligence Division ends up being more valuable than she'd ever guess.

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

What lives in the slivers between dimensions? When does an arrancar become a vaizard, and what power will the Hougyoku unleash at the zero point between the two? Ichigo will go anywhere, take on anyone to protect his friends, but when his sister is turned against him he learns that survival lies only in the claws of his inner enemy... And Aizen wages war against heaven and earth.

Uzumaki Naruto grew up with lofty goals, guts, and determination. Instincts of a born fighter made him grow; duty to his home drove him. As the battle lines begin to blur, he must find a way to reconcile all he's ever known with the man he hopes to become. Large AU.

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

Uzumaki Naruto was born to be a shinobi. He was supposed to be a killer; a protector of unparalleled skill. His lineage and the demon in his gut ensured that. In canon, his growth was stunted. In here, he had a reason to be strong. He has to survive. AU.

You rang?

Changing the future wasn't easy. There would be a lot of lying. Deceit. Manipulation. Death. Especially if I wanted to change anything for the better. [Semi SI-OC]

Thirty year old Kakashi was supposed to have been killed by Pein during the Invasion. Instead, he wakes up in the body of his twenty year old self. (It gets a lot more complicated.) Time travel.

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

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

Uchiha Masaru is a normal boy who wanted to become a ninja with his twin sister Akari. He didn't know he'd witness a bloody massacre and become one of the last Uchiha. He didn't know his first friend would have the power to change the world. He has no idea there's a world where he and Akari don't exist. But in this one they do, and their existence creates unimaginable ripples.

The first time Ichigo met a Shinigami, he died. Quickly realizing that Soul Society is no heaven, he aims to make it into one. However, turning a dream into reality is a long and difficult journey, especially if you are Kurosaki Ichigo and you stand in the center of everything. A long story of adventure, drama, conspiracies but also action.(Pairings not a main focus)

An ancient danger threatens the galaxy, unknown to all. A humanity which never discovered Prothean ruins, expanding through space on their own, emerges. Joined with the machines they created, hardened by war with a terrifying enemy, they read the writing on the wall. But will the galactic community already there listen to these newcomers, stirring up trouble everywhere they go?

"When did you start to remember?" He asked next, relaxing further in his seat, which Kyo found calming. In which another lease on life is a bit more complicated than Kyo had at first anticipated. OC Self-Insert.

Because there is more to politics than the brawn, the paperwork, the ninja, when even civilians can be lethal without lifting a hand. Because they each had so much to lose. They can only hope to find that momentary solace in the eye of the storm. Complex plot & slow buildup.

Snippets that didn't make it into Hear the Silence. Prompts from tumblr, generally from other people's POV

In which a plot is demolished because a dimple-cheeked baby gave Obito a gummy smile, and then proceeded to raise a minion army with hugs, cuddles and an assortment of saccharine treats. Uchiha SI/OC Elder Sister

"Abandon your fear Ichigo, face forward. Move forward and never stop. Retreat and you will age, hesitate...and you will die. Together, we will ascend and tear the very heavens asunder." With a better connection to his zanpakuto than we have seen before, Ichigo will finally fully realize his vast potential. BAMF Ichigo

Team Three during the War. A sequel to "hands like houses."

You made a mistake, shishō. If it was Naruto, he might have made peace with it. It's people like me, who keeps wanting more, doesn't know when to make peace, can't make peace. Can't live with being the only one alive. Can't handle being left behind even in death. This is no last stand. This is selfishness. Sakura-centric Time Travel where for once, Team 7 chases Sakura.

The Chuunin Exams are almost in sight and Hisana is faced with her biggest challenge yet: Keeping Sasuke in Konoha and Orochimaru out of it! And then there's Itachi, who's a class all of his own. Part II of "Of Bonds and Hugs like Chokeholds". OC-insert.

Ichigo was exiled to Heuco Mundo after making a choice between that, or the lives of his children. This is the story of what happens after he delivers the babies into the arms of Grimmjow.

With the World of NARUTO plunged into a state of dread and despair thanks to the Akatsuki, a new kind of hero descends unintentionally into it against his will.

This is the story of a girl who, upon realizing she had been reborn in the Naruto universe, does her best to keep her head down and stay an auxiliary character. So of course the universe too, does its best to thwart her at every turn. OCSelfInsert

It's easier to break than mend. And so, for everything she learned to heal, Sakura learned a thousand times to end.

In the sealed scroll he finds a Bingo Book – his own page marking him as an S-class nukenin with flee-on-sight orders. "Ok. That is definitely different." Dimensional/Time Travel.

The Uchiha. Clan full of egomaniacs and Stick-in-the-muds? Or a clan full of soulful artists and cat lovers? She would see to the latter. The ultimate Uchiha Massacre fix-it fic. Manipulative!OC!(first story)

Sakura has a powerful kekkei genkai of her own, and the three members of Team Seven are on much more equal footing from the start. They'll need that strength, and that closeness - Konoha's position is precarious, and its enemies are intelligent and powerful. AU.

The War was over, but Ichigo's subsequent exile starts a rebellion under the rule of Central 46. Two years later, Aizen escapes, sparking off a chain of events that thrusts Ichigo straight back into the world he had left behind. AU. Full summary inside.

With the belief that reincarnation is a plausible thing to happen, I wasn't exactly surprised to find myself being reborn. However, surprise took place when I found myself being reborn as Nohara Rin out of all people. Perhaps fate had a strange sense of humour. But nevertheless; I am Rin and I'm definitely screwed. SIOC.

Her plan was flawless. Save Shisui. Save the world. Time-travel, Sakura-centric AU

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

Hashirama married into his own Clan, the Mokuton passed down to his children and the Senju didn't go extinct in a couple generations. Later, when Uzu is razed, the Uzumaki survive thanks to Tobirama. From there on, the butterflies get to work in their subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Fair warning: no wanking, no bashing. Also, exploring new scenarios. ON HIATUS

"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

When Zangetsu travels back in time after a terrible war against Aizen and the Quincy, he does everything in his power to make sure that Ichigo doesn't grow up alone. No matter what, Zangetsu will support his King.

Mortality is for losers. So is time as a linear concept. In other words, the entire planet is dead, Sakura is over five hundred years old, and she's bored as hell. Time-travel is clearly the only option.

Every soul has to come from somewhere. Starrk's origins are just a little more complicated than he realized.

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.

Because some bonds are never meant to be broken.

She'd lost everything in the flash of what felt like a moment. He gained a second chance he never expected. The hopes she retained for ten years depended heavily upon a man she never imagined to come across, and, when she asked for his lack of compassion without words he gladly gave it. Learning to live again had never been apart of the plan for either of them.

When a plot of Aizen's creation leaves Ichigo in a fragile state, and a painful confession has his usual support grow cold, who will stop the rain pouring down in his soul? The healing journey will be hard, the memories haunting his every step, but in the end a treasure awaits. Contains: Shunsui/Ichigo/Jyuushiro, Yaoi, Mpreg.

Morality and logical limits are not Orochimaru's strong point, even as a loyal Konoha shinobi. Thankfully, it seems that parenting actually is.

It seems that Ichigo cannot even die without complications. Thrown into Soul Society two-thousand years in the past, Ichigo will train in the Shinigami arts under Yamamoto himself- meeting some remarkable people along the way. Now the Gotei's enemies will have to deal with him too, and the Slaying Moon of the Seireitei doesn't take prisoners.

Princess Mononoke!AU. The world has nine gods, locked away in human prisons. Kurama manages to free himself, and when he escapes he takes a child with him. Naruto was raised by forest spirits, but he's still mostly human, and that's what drives him to save a wounded jounin he finds in the forest. It's one moment of kindness that might just right the world.

The ultimate dream: being born into your favorite manga. But the ninja life is in no way as romantic as it looks. But it's also not all that terrible. Hisana is fervently working on keeping it that way. An OC insert. Sequel up.

"Wait," Ichigo held up a hand. "I just want to make sure—I'm not going to grow a tail or anything, right?" AU. In which Komamura gives Ichigo his shinigami powers. Written for Love Psycho's Bleach Challenge #1.

Naruto is hot. Kakashi is losing his mind.

Everything must have a beginning. Masters were once amateurs. Adults were once children. Friends were once strangers. This is just that: the beginning. Of two boys who grew to be men. Of two strangers who became brothers. Of two swordsmen who became legends.

It was a popular topic that civilians liked to gossip about whenever they were short on drama. And the subject of their lingering scrutiny was always, where exactly Haruno Sakura had inherited her pink hair from...For the Haruno clan was old and proud and could keep secrets just as well as any shinobi. Retake on Naruto with a very different Sakura!

Legacies, Genma thinks wryly, must be the heaviest thing in the known universe. Especially the failed ones.

AU. KakaIta and SasuSaku. All it takes is one second for lives to be devastated beyond recognition. It takes a lifetime of seconds to piece it back together again. Sometimes, though, there aren't enough seconds in life to make it okay again.

Approved spin off story of The life and times of Hatake Kakashi, Nukenin from Whispering Darkness. Kakashi may now have to live the life of a missing nin but that didn't mean that he couldn't have fun did it? ...though there are a few things that he really hadn't anticipated.

Part one of Catching Bullets. The picture is old and worn, colors a little faded and edges a little bent. It only takes one glance to recognize the man in the center of the photograph, even though Shisui has never actually seen him before.

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

Kakashi doesn't understand his genin team. (He hopes he never will.) Featuring: strip poker, deceptive puddles, several books, two conspiracies, and no ducks.

For the record, this is not how his grand defection from Konoha was supposed to go. (Or, Orochimaru attempts to save the world. Hatake Sakumo may have been part of the plan, but he's also very much an unexpected complication.)

In which the Plot goes flying away, Team Seven is emotionally unstable, Kakashi is a good teacher, and Junko has terrible luck. Or alternatively an OC self-insert finds herself in the worst position to be in outside of being an Uchiha pre-massacre and Naruto himself for avoiding pain and the dreaded Plot. As Team 7's sensei.

"Chichi-Ue, could you tell me how you met Otou-San?" Byakuya asked as he snuggled into his father's embrace. Wrapping his arms around the boy, Sojun smiled fondly at the orange haired man sleeping beside them, "It all began…" Ichigo/Sojun, Koga/Sojun, Time Travel, AU, Mpreg, Mild Violence

Kurosaki. A name that he held in reverence, and a name he'd tried to live up to. It had been his own, but...no more. He couldn't be a Kurosaki any longer. He'd long since lost the right. He could place the blame elsewhere, Aizen was the start, but he wouldn't. It had been he that had failed in the end. He was the reason they died...but...he would make it right. No matter the cost.

Humanity never developed FTL. The Prothean archives contained no technology, no Element Zero, just a warning. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy for two thousand years, restricted to their only system, how will humanity have changed when they first meet the Turians? AU, alternate history of humanity and First Contact.

COMPLETE. In which Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke are dimension-hopping superheroes. Kind of. More or less.

In the wake of war and loss, some surrender to the darkness. Others embrace it. Slash/yaoi.

Nanao and Starrk punish Shunsui for skimping out on his work yet again. PWP.

Obito became the Jūbi Jinchuuriki and consequently got smacked to oblivion and back, with words and Naruto's fists. He died protecting the hailed boy of prophecy and his bonds, a smile on his face as he went to join Rin and Minato in the afterlife. But things didn't go as expected, and it seems that life has more plans for him… Time-travel.

Sasuke is heavily wounded after his battle at the Valley of the End, and Orochimaru's henchmen have yet to whisk him away (not that he'd admit to needing any such help.) A curious meeting with a familiar face leads to staggering implications and some much needed enlightenment. Time travel. AU. Genfic.

The Aburame are still. Their movements are precise, limited only to the necessary. Tranquil, powerful, focused and intense. Confidence tempered by gentleness. Fumio can often manage to appear still, but she is not. Not underneath. Not in any of the ways that matter. (OC Protagonist, light canon divergence)

She would go for a walk, late into the night, when the stars glittered protectively over the village. Non-massacre. AU. Rated for some swearing. Changed summary.

"If Ukitake were standing with us here, I'm sure that's what he'd have said." A narration of Shunsui and Juushiro's friendship: They have made it through illnesses, betrayals and death; now, war threatens to tear them apart. Major spoilers for almost all major canon events up to the current manga (chapter 631).

Part one of Cry Havoc. Naruto isn't the only one in the village to earn the title "monster". At the age of six, he meets a collared Orochimaru and makes a most unlikely ally. Mentioned slash.

They would have been known as the primera espada, if it wasn't for the boy with the orange hair crash landing into the desert. time travel, pre-winter war.

COMPLETE. With the Kyuubi's help, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke have successfully landed in the past, armed with a completely fleshed-out plan to get rid of the bad guys and save the world. (Again.) The only problem? When it comes to the transmigration of souls and time-travel jutsus done under the influence, Kurama has absolutely, incredibly terrible aim.

What if Naruto had been selected for a different team? What if he'd had a different mentor? Who would guess the consequences would be so large?

Flashes of an unknown past haunt Naruto, entwining his steps with those of a former life no longer content to stay forgotten. It's time for Uzushio's Storm God to rise once more. (The soul of a city is a hard thing to kill. Uzushio is still aware, still waiting. And now, with the rebirth of her greatest Kage, it's time to call her people home.) SasuNaru

Tensai: 1) Genius, protégé. 2) Natural disaster. Accounting for the fact that Ichigo's lack-of-trying in school STILL has him in the top 50, despite all the supernatural disturbances that cut into his life - what if he hadn't taken Rukia's powers that day, and instead only awoke his own? (No more romance than Canon, so don't ask.)

When Ichigo has a good reason, his anger is more than most can handle.

There was a theory once, about Nemesis, the Dark Star. Stillborn twin to the sun, it wandered the void, black and cold, and every 25 million years, came back home. AU.

The second she realized she was in the world of Naruto, Rae swore she wouldn't interfere. Even so, looking at the shivering 8-year-old before her, she couldn't help but hold him close. It's not like one friend will change anything, right? T for violence and some language.

COMPLETE. Orochimaru has debts to settle and plans to set in motion. Second chances are rare enough; he's hardly about to waste this one. Part two of A Snake Among the Leaves.

The Captains are called to a meeting, where they expect another potentially boring update on the peacetime happenings in the soul society. What they find is anything but. Ichigo is back, only he isn't alone, but his companion is a little, ah, different than usual. For one he is a lot smaller, and oh yeah, they are going to have to wait until he's born to meet him! Yaoi and Mpreg.

[FANOWRIMO CHALLENGE, Sequel to The Eyes Have It] Thanks to certain efforts by certain people towards sewing discord and uncertainty amongst the other nations, inter-village politics convene in the Land of Iron months earlier than they might have without 'help'. Team Eight, against all odds, is dispatched as part of Konoha's contingent.

Shunsui follows Nanao to a place better left unknown.

"Ban. KAI." It takes Yoruichi's fall—broken, battered, and no longer breathing—for Ichigo to realise he's never truly known Urahara at all. (A sequel, of sorts, to Avarice, though reading it first is not necessary).

Sent back in time to retrieve the runaway hogyoku, Ichigo and Uryu find themselves at odds with a version of Seireitei that refuses to see them as anything other than enemies. Five years before his exile, Kisuke finds himself presented with a fascinating specimen: an oddly human-looking hollow, capable of removing its mask, and bearing a live zanpakuto. (Discontinued)

Steel in the hand, and blood on the blade; now your death is surely made. Urahara's Bankai is a terrifying thing. (A character study, of sorts).

While the Vandenreich plan their next step, Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyoraku must take precautions against his own power. And the only person he can trust is, of course, his Nanao-chan. Romance, a little fluffy, but Shunsui-centric. Rated T for no real reason. Read and review please.

In Hueco Mundo, Shunsui and Juushiro accidentally fall into a rather deadly trap. Two hollows help them out, but at a price. Shunsui/Juushiro, and a next generation will be involved! Not mpreg.

He wasn't happy with his decision. Hell, he wasn't even sure it was the right one to make. But you don't get the luxury of hindsight in war. All you can do is make a choice, and pray it was the right one to make.

After the Winter War, Starrk and Lilynette notice there is something strange going on in Soul Society. To figure out what it is and if it's dangerous, Starrk sneaks into Seireitei in disguise...and immediately gets caught up in a case of mistaken identity. As he tries to find a way out without telling anyone who he actually is, it becomes increasing difficult to remain aloof.

2000 years ago, Ukitake Jyuushiro and Kyouraku Shunsui went to Yamamoto's Academy. This story goes from when they met to the point where they achieved shikai, and why they're the only two in Soul Society with twin blades. Mild yaoi content.

With Seireitei overrun by a powerful enemy, leaving the entirety of the city in ruins and the Gotei-13 attempting to rebuild what had been lost. One devastatingly injured Kurosaki Ichigo becomes the entire focus of the newly established Soutaichō, Kyōraku Shunsui, as the older Shinigami seeks to help him come to terms with his new disability and unknowingly sculpts their love.Yaoi

A different take on the Bleach storyline! Ichigo was born in Soul Society and due to the politics at the time, his father had to flee with him to keep him alive. He escaped to Hueco Mundo but could not survive there and little Ichigo is adopted by a vasto lorde... but what will happen when Aizen arrives? And who is Ichigo really?

While flying back from Godric's Hollow, Hagrid accidentally drops baby Harry over a wild forest. Harry is raised by rebel fairies until his Hogwarts letter arrives. The Dark Lord is in for a surprise... HP/LV romance. SLASH.

There's something to be said for keeping the past as it was - makes it predictable, malleable. Naruto never bought those arguments. He's always been the one to power through adversity rather than wait it out, so why would now be any different? He'll do what has to be done, even if he steps on a few butterflies along the way.

After the battle of Karakura Town, our favorite simple shopkeeper and part time mad-scientist finds the mostly-dead primera buried beneath the rubble and reacts...characteristically. Starrk is not amused. Urahara is intrigued. (Occurs immediately post-Winter War)

The Prothean Ruins weren't. They contained little more than mentionings of an Alien Society; as a result, humanity develops on a completely different path than what was intended, and when first contact is made not with the Turians, but a desperate, destitute race viewed as beggars and thieves, how will this dying race change Humanity? And how will Humanity change the Galaxy? *A/U!*

A rewrite of the Bleach universe... what if Ichigo has always been aware of his inner hollow? Shiro has been his best friend all his life, but what will happen when he meets Rukia and ignites his true powers? And what will Soul Society do? Pairings unknown at this point. I'll take suggestions! Enjoy!

A hidden power out in the worlds fights to change the past, present and future. As always, Kurosaki Ichigo finds himself smack dab in the center of all troubles. This time, he finds himself alone and must tread lightly or risk losing everything he fought to protect. Or perhaps an unlikely ally would present himself and a relationship might just be formed. IchiUra.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni is, at heart, an old man who likes his tea prepared a certain way and has a soft spot for talented youngsters. His latest fledgling seems to be one Kurosaki Ichigo, substitute soul reaper. (Alternatively, a story in which Yamamoto is a crafty old man, Ichigo grows up to be utterly terrifying, and Aizen doesn't stand a chance.)

Shunsui's been disappearing for a while, what's he been up too? and who's the new recruits at the academy?

Shinji and Momo. Companion piece to 'Breaking Walls' and 'Opening Doors'. Shinji always fixes things, even when he doesn't want to.

Can their friendship survive the heartache? Or will Kyoraku's fear of society's opinion ruin it for good?

Ichigo enters Soul Society thinking he has the Shinigami figured out. But he's about to encounter a whole new world, and that's never so simple. Caught between his disgust with their hypocrisy and their strange sense of honor, he struggles to remind himself the only thing he knows: these people want Rukia dead. Then he realizes he doesn't even know that. Sequel to Guardian.

ItaSaku Non-Massacre AU. Their story began long before anyone could realize it. The story of a little pink-haired girl child, and a stoic young boy.

He'd learned to fake Shunsui's handwriting years ago. And never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought he would use it like this. Yaoi
