He could already feel his tight grip on the mask slipping with everyday that he was pushed around by his so called friends. It was only a matter of time before it cracked. He wasn't sure what he would do once it did. He was a Cloud afterall, not that many people seemed to remember that tiny little fact. How could Skull, the lackey, the weakling, be anything other than that? Male OC

His body was coiled with a killer's subtleness, and Reborn could have imagined almost anyone other than Skull to display that sort of mephitic skill.(Or the time I pulled a Winter Soldier on Skull's ass.)

Akabane Karma is a certified genius, politician (and an assassin but no one talks about that anymore). So when such a man wakes up in a world when no one respects him? You can bet he's gonna give em Hell. [Skull-is-Karma] (Cross-posted on Ao3!)

In which Skull totally forgot to mention how he kinda was the Man-Who-Conquered and had met the Arcobaleno before... not really. He totally remembered. Or the Arcobaleno finally understood that Skull didn't really have the safest life despite being a civilian ("Could he really be counted as a civilian?" Colonello asked. "He was a fucking child soldier!")

The Arcobaleno arrive at their collective house after their yearly meeting turned mission. Skull had been left there to cook them a warm meal for their return, seeing as he is useless in a mission, but it is not Skull they find when they return. Rather, it is, but it is not. For this Skull has cold eyes and harsher threats, and the Arcobaleno, for once, don't know what to do.

Dumbledore thinks Harry is in Spain with the Dursleys. The Dursleys thinks he's spending the summer with 'his lot'. And maybe Harry feels a little guilty about lying to them and to his friends about his whereabouts. But if they don't want to tell him what's going on with Voldemort, then he doesn't have to tell them he's taken up stunt-biking, right ? Harry-is-Skull AU.

As long as 5K-V11 could remember, he had been at the facility. He had no idea how long he had been there, how old he was, or what his real name was. Skull Demort is born in a bar in Romania, out of a few words on a paper towel. (Or, the OS no one asked for but that I wrote anyway. T for some violence and unpleasantness)

Harry was a little broken, had been for a long time. It was understandable, he was 310 years old after all. Harry-as-Skull. Slight M/M mentions.

Ghouls were a myth, an urban legend, the story told to newbies and ex-civilians to scare them. Skull, Reborn distantly remembered, had been a nervous wreck when the topic had been broached, and he'd thought that the ex-civilian was afraid of ghouls. Now, Reborn thought he might have gotten the reason of Skull's nervousness wrong. Very wrong. Tokyo Ghoul!AU (ish).

A collection of glimpses and snapshots of the life of Milena Cherep, also known as Skull De Mort, and whispered of as Femme Fatale in a world where Will is Flame, her family is a cranky Sky and his Elements, and her big sister is a refugee from the stars. Enter if you dare, but beware of flying knives, world-ending disasters, and Autobot/Mafia playdates.

WNW1: The first time an Arcobaleno met Death, Skull was nineteen- Skull just sits back and watches the two, a kind of morbidly amused fascination at the fact he is watching a hitman literally flirt with Death.

In which Shukaku doesn't take kindly to the Akatsuki trying to rip him from Gaara, panics, snags both of their souls and sends them across dimensions to a new body. Crack-ish. Gaara-reborn-as-Skull.

Harry finds himself in a new, strange world. Adapting… could've gone better. Harry-is-Skull fic.

Skull is a ghost after that, appearing and disappearing at random all over the world. Always minutes and feet away from them before he's gone again. Skull is very obviously running from them. It's too bad that Reborn is unrelenting.

Skull has had enough. He's done. He's over this. He's a fucking Cloud, goddamn it. It's time he started acting like one.

He'd been on the verge of giving up on ever finding his Sky, then... "My name's Elanor Potter. I've been looking for you!" (For Elanor, harmonizing with Skull was easy; falling in love with him even more so. That it surprised the heck out of everyone else in the Mafia was just a bonus.) [Fem!Harry/Skull]

Skull had always done his best to keep his mafia life away from his mother, not because she couldn't handle it but because he wasn't sure the mafia could handle her. (All the different ways the Arcobaleno could meet Skull's mother.) [Fem!Harry ; Teddy-is-Skull]

She's eighteen and four months when a man flags her down on her bike with an excited grin and aspirations in his eyes. He's got slicked back hair and a crooked smile and grand ideas for her. "Hey, kid, you ever thought about doing stunts on that beauty?" [Sakura-reborn-as-Skull fic. Reincarnation. Genderfluid Skull. No Pairings. Chapters Posted: 2/4]

It seemed death had a sense of humor. SI-as-fem!Skull because I can't keep my ideas to myself! Eventual (like waaay down the line) Skull/Reborn.

Skull had suffered his way through both world wars, immortal and unending, all the way up to meeting Tsuna and his family. Perhaps it was then that he began to heal. And then, of course, the world ended, and it all spiraled out of control. (Drabbles so SHORT CHAPTERS. Cowritten with northpeach)(Cover drawn by CyanCat, but commissioned by Moradacious Moratorium )

In which you are Acacia Potter who becomes Skull de Mort and makes tons of awesome friends along the way. Almost completely angst-free, isn't that great? 2nd person POV, fem!Harry-is-Skull

...don't stop me because I'd like to hear it again. A series of stories about Skull based on quotes or music. Rating may go up later. Ch.10 up.

Obito was fairly certain he should be dead. Instead he wakes up in a garishly decorated tent with people speaking gibberish around him. Needless to say, he was pretty pissed. Or that fic where Obito dies, wakes up, and becomes the Cloud Arcobaleno.

Featuring Skull & Reborn! It became drabbles rather than sentences, so you can just think of it as short trips into Byakuran's parallel worlds.

There are a lot of extremely obvious reasons why Skull can't stand Reborn. But there are also some that everyone's missed.
