"They say the only thing to fear is fear itself. That, and a motivated Nara." Shikamaru is born with his father's intelligence and his mother's work ethic. The world is turned sideways.

Senju Hashirama's dream to unify all of the warring clans of his country under one village remained just that; a dream. Generations later, the ninja world still consists of pure clan affiliation. Enacting peace through understanding has fallen to the side. A catalyst is needed for any kind of change to occur, and it is all found in a little boy... for better or for worse. AU.

He can't leave the room. Her room. And it's all the Order's fault. Confined to a small space with only the Mudblood for company, something's going to give. Maybe his sanity. Maybe not. "There," she spat. "Now your Blood's filthy too!" DM/HG. PostHBP. Now complete with epilogue.

Whoever said death is nothing to be afraid of have likely lived a full life. Though, I suppose the same could be said for the reverse. Those who fear death have never truly lived, but I'm getting a little ahead of myself. My name is Kasa, the idiot who doesn't know how to die properly. And let me tell you, dying hurts. OC Self-insert COMPLETE

Sakura you are being sent undercover to capture Uchiha Itachi, and any other Akatsuki you come into contact with, while on your mission. Ha. Yeah right, just let me get my big net and ass kicking boots...What do you mean when you say 'Disguised as a cat?

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

"It takes years to perfect what you plan on doing. You are nothing but an inexperienced girl with a terrible grudge, who is driven by her emotions. All three of those things form a horrible combination and the very reason you will fail. You'll get caught, and you'll hang." An AltairxOC pairing.

Trust the Yondaime to turn death into a minor inconvenience.

But not all is as it seems. c36 progress:3/5

They called her lazy, apathetic, and amoral. They also said she was, by turns, too smart and too dumb. She liked to think she was funny. None of them were wrong. OC/Self Insert

Life can be a cruel thing, especially when it was never meant to be given to you in the first place. Self-Insert / SI OC. -COMPLETE-

It's not all that likely to be reborn in the Narutoverse. And it's definitely not likely to go back time in the Narutoverse after being reborn there. So then why, pray tell, does it still happen? AU / Sequel of Sakura / Time travel.

A foul-mouthed, snarky and genre savvy jaywalker finds herself decorating the asphalt and reborn into a stratocracy where child soldiers are the norm. People she comes to care for will die and she's unwilling to play the hero… but as Kurenai, maybe she has to. Or not. [SI]

Shikamaru didn't know if it was time travel or reincarnation. But between memories of the future and having Itachi and Sasuke as brothers, he knew his dreams of a simple life would be impossible. (Or: The best idea I had for motivating Shikamaru to interact with Itachi).

Hiccup didn't see the point in stopping Astrid as she ran off towards his village—towards his father—with his most desperately protected secret. He was leaving anyway. A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy.

So, I died. But I guess that's okay, even if I'm now living in a world full of ninjas and the like. It's just too bad that the price for having a second life is taking a job as Death's Apprentice. Oh, woe is me. OC SI.

After helplessly watching the murder of his son by the hands of the civilians he had sworn to protect, Minato Namikaze is broken. When the god of Death offers the chance to walk among the living once more, he accepts. Only catch is, he has to live in the body of his son, Naruto Uzumaki.

After dying at the end of the Sand-Sound Invasion, Naruto finds that his life is governed by a strange set of rules that he is still trying to figure out. VideoGame!Naruto

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

An old and dying Naruto throws his soul forward through time in order to prevent the Juubi's escape upon his death. His soul merges with that of 15 month old Harry Potter in the moment the Killing Curse is reflected. Super!Harry.

Perhaps time travel isn't what it's all that cracked up to be. OR: Naruto inadvertently trains his younger self for the Chunin exam, and therein learns a lot more about himself than he ever really wanted to. CAS sequel.

Naruto wasn't going to let this oppotunity go to waste, and what better way to change the future than to make sure Obito didn't fall in love with Rin? It would have worked too, had he not fallen for her instead. Female Naruto FemNaru eventual NarutoxObito time-travel DISCONTINUED

"I bet you're a vegetarian," said Temari, and she plucked at a nearby plant. "Here's a leaf for you, try not to choke." It all went downhill from there... One road. Two bunkhouses. Three weeks of border patrol. Neji x Temari.

For some people, training isn't easy. For some people, training is beyond easy. Unfortunately, for me, training is beyond hard. Double weaknesses, attacked by wild Pokemon, mistrust of trainers, and much more. I just CAN'T catch a break, can I?

When Naruto's father met his mother, his only impression was that a village out there must have been missing its idiot. Minato/Kushina.

Unwillingly brought into a strange world, trying to hide your secrets, being there during a tournament that hasn't been held in over a century, and oh, having the most powerful wizard seeking you for your power. Simple? Certainly not.

Naruto had been bragging all day that his new jutsu was his best yet. Sakura and her new situation beg to differ. Post timeskip. DeiSaku.

Kushina Uzumaki is insane.
