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.

The liar. The prideful pretender. The coward. Usopp didn't know how much he could change, even when the chance was thrust onto him. He doubted he could correct things with his slingshot and his wits, even with a decade to work with. But, even though he knew he was the weakest, he was still a Straw Hat pirate, and he would damn well try.

With the war over and her military career in shambles, Tanya von Degurechaff has to forge a new path for herself. Fortunately, she finds an opportunity to get involved in the political scene. A safe, easy job has never been closer at hand. What could possibly go wrong?

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.

It's one thing to enter the world of heroes and villains, it's another thing entirely to find your way back out again. That's a bitter truth to swallow when you want no part of the life to begin with. A hasty decision from a young man with his back against the wall sends him down a path of which there is no return. OC main character.

The life of a young mutant is perilous enough on its own. Follow the experiences of a student entering the hallowed halls of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, learning just what it takes and what it means to count himself as one of a race that is feared and targeted by many. Welcome to the X-Men, Bellamy Marcher - Hope you survive the experience.

A deaf and silent stableboy kept as a slave in the Great King's palace finds his monotonous life interrupted by a mysterious stranger. The events that follow his liberation serve to shape himself, his comrades, and to his great surprise, the destiny of the entire country of Hyrule.

After two years of searching, Captain Link and the valiant crew of the airship Island Symphony have found Obeeta, a massive island in the sky sporting a city-like landscape. What looks to be a simple visit in a quest to locate Irleen's people soon turns into one massive living nightmare as Obeeta's nights spring surprise after surprise on the crew of the Island Symphony.

Blake needed one person to rely on at Beacon, just one person she could trust in all things. It was an impossible expectation at first, but then Jaune was talking to himself and let the truth slip out. It was shameful to blackmail him into friendship, but it's not like she had a better idea. Jaune was no Adam, but he could be made into what she wanted. Or is he as weak as he seems?

A storm is brewing. Casting a black shadow over the world, threatening to incinerate it and scatter its ashes to the winds. Humanity's only hope lies with a young boy. A boy sacrificed for their protection, yet condemned to a life of hatred and abuse. Will the pariah become the savior? Or will mankind be cast into oblivion by a monster of their own creation?

Emiya Kiritsugu was happy living the rest of his short days. He had put his past behind him... until he began to dream of futures that had yet to be. Let it be known that the Magus Killer was not dangerous simply because he was dying and had no plans to fight.

Akira Kurusu. Delinquent. Thief. Leader. Hero. Who is he? How many masks can one man wear?

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?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

With Cunimincus and his demonic crew gone, the search is on again for Irleen's home. The following stories have NOTHING to do with that search. This is a series featuring the crew of the Island Symphony at their looniest (mostly), detailing events that may or may not have happened during and after Sky Lines.

He hadn't gone to combat school; he hadn't even taken an entrance exam. But Jaune Arc figured if he could at least make it past Beacon Academy's initiation, then he might just have what it takes to become a huntsman. And in a sense... he's right. The little training he received from his sister may just be enough.

(EPILOGUE posted)Three months after the death of Kaworu, NERV and its people struggle to rebuild. The Children face new challenges, but for two of them the worse thing may just be each other. Amidst the pain and despair, outside events quickly spiral out of control.

"A new overlady, you say? She's a little short and flat-chested, although her temper is impressively vile. Oh well. Needs must when needs must. Too long have the lands of Halkeginia gone without true Evil. There are fluffy bunnies and happy ponies all over the place, frolicking! It makes me quite sick! No, it doesn't matter if she wants to or not. Because Evil always finds a way."

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.

An AU story that retells the Manhwa known as "The Gamer" where our protagonist, Han Jee-Han will be forced to not only grow as a warrior but also as a man while he faces the cruel dangers of the Abyss without his "Gamer's Mind" passive. Rated T as this series will take on a much darker tone as Jee-Han climbs to the top of the Abyss, crushing anyone that gets in his way.

Whoever said life isn't a game was entirely wrong. Everything is a game; it's just a matter of understanding the rules. While Jaune Arc might not have been the strongest player, he could certainly learn the rules quickly. Good thing too; with a mysterious foe on the horizon and Remnant in danger, Jaune might be Remnant's last hope of survival...

Naruto's age has passed him by as his time is over. Now he attempts to seek out a place for himself in the new world, and it's bigger than he ever figured it to be! Will be epic in length, NaruHarem

The light novel series Love and Coffee, written by Hikigaya Hachiman, is currently the most popular in all of Japan. But, the story of its inspiration is anything but a romantic comedy...

And so techno-phobia dies; with thunderous piano music. Following the defeat of the Calamity, it is resolved that this backwards, magical kingdom shall embrace the promise of magitech, as soon as the people stop screaming about the giant robots.

AU. In a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction in the face of the Grimm, the kingdom of Vale has resorted to arranged marriages between its strongest citizens, hoping against hope that a miracle hero will be born. In a romance initiated without free choice, is it even possible to find happiness? Lancaster

Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?

Tiger Dojo 1 AU/continuation. One refusal does not end the story...nor one casualty, the battles. Even without Emiya Shirou, the Grail War goes on. -IN PROGRESS-

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I don't have chakra. I can't walk on walls, I can't breath fire, and I certainly can't make a clone of myself. Who cares? I'm awesome anyway." Can Naruto be a good ninja in a world where everyone BUT him has superpowers? Yes. Yes he can.

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

"I don't know how to remember. Time passes, but nothing comes to my mind. Except you. You're the key," Link said, softly. "You have to be." / A Breath of the Wild fic about Link, Zelda, and the memories that bind them.

With a roguish smile, a feathered coat and an audacious personality, a mysterious and charming Phantom Thief prowls the moonlit streets of Vale, seeking fame and fortune belonging not to him. Who is this masked man? Where will he strike next? And what is his connection to one Jaune Arc? The night is young, so let's have some fun... (Phantom Nevermore re-write.)

AU/Rewrite. In a city where science has made the impossible mundane, a young man meets a very strange girl, who speaks to him of things yet stranger. Meanwhile, four friends stumble into a conspiracy that threatens to overturn everything they thought they knew about their home.

Jaune had no interest in Ozpin's latest training initiative, especially when it pit boys against girls across Beacon. Cowardice or not, he intended to hide and wait the whole thing out. Leading the male alliance wasn't part of the plan, nor was becoming mankind's final hope. He was a coward, an idiot and a weakling. It was just a shame no one would believe him when he said so!

Naruto is many things; troublesome, wild, unpredictable, adventurous, untamable, unique. But there's a benefit to being wild and unpredictable; no one has the faintest idea what you're going to do next. NarutoHarem

Niijima Makoto is tasked to take down the Phantom Thieves. Spoiler alert: She gets her heart stolen. — Police!Makoto. Akira:Makoto.

A chance collision early in Naruto's life will irrevocably change the path he takes; what happens when Naruto's views are shifted before even his dream to become Hokage? Where will his new path take him, and how many strings will he pull or threads will he trip over along the way? Puppeteer!Naruto.

It had started as a simple bet. Train the boy in order to prove her own superiority over her peers. It had all been going so well for Weiss. So how was it that Jaune became so entangled in her personal life, and she in his? And why did he seem to be the only person who understood just what she was running away from? Cover art by Gabecebro.

AU. Anakin Skywalker is captured and sold into slavery to Darth Sidious at the tender age of nine. Padmé Amidala, Queen of Naboo, faces the horrors of the Trade Federation's invasion without the help of the Galactic Senate. Both become warped by their experiences; hardened, vicious, cunning. But then they meet their match… in one another. And it changes the Republic for all time.

After a disaster worse than Sabaody, the crew are 'saved' by Vegapunk's experimental time machine. All of the crew is blown back into their past bodies with all of their memories. As Luffy slowly gathers them together again, the world will never be the same. Who wants the same old boring adventure? Screw the plot, and let the chips fall where they may.

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? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Jaune Arc was a soldier in the Great War, tasked with many missions by his General in secret. When his last one ends with his death, he wakes up eighty years after the war's end. But he's not the only war relic walking around, now. (Inspired by Sleepy Hollow) (Slightly Off-Cannon)

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!

A re-written version of the original Devil's Dark Knight, longer and more action packed, with better plot, an improvement in cohesion, higher focus on character development and expansion into the inner workings of the mind of Uchiha Sasuke. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen... The Dark Knight has Returned. AU, Sasuke-centric.

There are some wounds not even time can heal. Some that just cut too deep. The Angel War came to an end 39 years ago with Third Impact, but for Asuka and Shinji, the war will never end – and their son is just another one of its veterans.

It turns out that immortality isn't all that it's cracked up to be, leading to a pretty rocky start for one Jaune Arc. Jaune sees a curse. Everyone else sees potential. Jaune just hoped that he'd stop having to see his insides by the time this was all over. Bits of gore. Ye be warned!

All Jaune Arc ever wanted to do was to enter Beacon and become a hero, but Arcs don't give up just because people see through their fake transcripts! After months of hard work, he finally manages to enter Beacon... as the Supreme Commander and Glorious Leader of a twice-reformed organization now threatening to engulf Remnant in an all-out world war. Uhh, Oops? Move over, Cinder.

Forsaken by Crystal, Elm bribes Lyra to the call. Risky, seeing Lyra hasn't been ENTIRELY in her right mind since a mishap 3 years ago. Tenaciously, she attracts trouble wherever she goes.

(Being rewritten) Naruto's chakra is warped at birth. Instead of strengthening his body and mind, it shrieks and wails like wind through his coils. Thrust into a war of ruthless shinobi and roaming Bijuu, he'll need the resolve to fight through his greatest weakness and survive- or, the determination to make it his greatest strength and win. (Lovecraftian AU)

Shirou Kotomine was found by his adopted father the day of the Fuyuki City Fire, and trained under the priest for 10 years to follow in his footsteps as an Executor. Still, Shirou never really trusts the man, and the bleakness of the hidden world of magic does little to help is worldview. When the Holy Grail Chose him for the next war, Fire will beget more Fire.

Jaune and Ruby don't understand their teammates. The two of them are just friends! Nothing more! So what if they feed each other? Nora and Yang do it.

Five years after Beacon, Jaune's still going home alone as often as not. An unlikely encounter with Yang may have just the solution- drinks, company, and a hell of a lot of pickup lines. (Now Complete)

There were very few things that could rile a 25 year old Naruto Uzumaki up. He was perfectly content to sit in his home, work his normal job, study at a normal school, and in his free time, tinker (read: upgrade in a potentially life endangering manner) with whatever happened to catch his interest. This obviously did not include Devils, or Angels, or Fallen Angels.

'No, no,' Misaka-11111 protests, with great concern in her voice. 'Do not read my secret diary. How is it even online? ' she asks, confusion mixing with her alarm. 'If someone were to read it, they would be able to understand my inner thoughts. That is not natural, completely unlike the perfectly normal operations of the Network. Please,' Misaka begs, 'do not read it.'

There must be a limit to how innocent and naive their team leaders can be can be. There must be. But until it's found... (Oneshot)

A meeting with Erza Scarlet will herald the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Be ready, or you'll get burned.

Being from a family of heroes, Jaune had long ago realized that heroism wasn't all it was cracked up to be. It was just plain sense to take a safer course in life. Unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell him that the world just didn't make sense. Inspired by the Ciaphas Cain series of Warhammer 40K. (pairings undecided)

When Naruto came bursting into his office demanding to learn about puppets because they were 'super cool' and 'so badass' the Sandaime simply handed over a scroll detailing the little information Konoha had on the art. He didn't expect the boy to pursue it much further and he certainly didn't expect the boy to reinvent the skill all by himself. Puppeteer!Naruto Manipulative!Konoha
