    Summary

    At first, as she wandered, she felt nothing but rage.

    Nothing but rage, because the gods had lied, and the gods were fallible, and they’d stolen her love from her and left her alone in this wretched place. She was angry, and she hated everything in the world, everyone who had been in the world—except for Ozma. She tried to pretend she didn’t hate herself, but really, who was there to prove herself to? No one, so she was free to hate herself as much as she wanted.

     

    OR

    How did soulmarks become a Remnant-wide phenomenon? What would have happened if Salem hadn’t tried to drown herself in Grimm?

    Summary

    In a universe with an inexplicably accelerated heat death on the way, the Incubators are forced to become far more experimental with their contracts.

    This is a story about the lives of some of these experiments, and forces that threaten to drag them into a plot dense with epistemological inquisition, mythological imagery, esoteric allusions, and the fun facts printed on juice lids.

    Summary

    “We’ve found the Yondaime and his wife! They were still alive!

     

     

    Something inexplicable happened that night. A last ditch effort, unconscious as it was; a small nudge of fate; a miracle. Whatever it was, it didn’t matter.

    Not as much as that single, mind-blowing fact: three months after the Kyûbi’s rampage on Konoha, the Yondaime and his wife, thought to be dead after disappearing without a trace from the clearing they’d last been seen in, reappeared in the middle of the street without warning.

    This was a chance no one had ever fathomed they could get. It was a single chance to make things right.

    Now, what they do with it is up to them.

    *

    AU where Minato & Kushina are found alive three months after the attack, and it is up to Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Kakashi to keep them that way. They get help eventually.

    Alternating POV.

    Lots of Angst (yes, capital letter), but obviously comfort is there as well.

    Summary

    Danzo was interrupted when he attacked Shisui. He fled the village, taking with him one stolen eye. Shisui vanished with the other.

    Seven years later, Kotoamatsukami is back in Konoha. And a girl with pink hair washes up by the Naka with no memory of who she used to be.
     

    A murder mystery told through alternating perspectives and timelines. Adapted from The Rook, by Daniel O'Malley.

    In the present, Sakura wakes up without her memories, having clearly been the victim of a vicious attack. Along with Sasuke, she begins investigating the circumstances that led to her current state.

    In the past, Sakura stumbles upon a decade-long conspiracy involving a stolen Sharingan and a rogue councilor with a vendetta against the village. Realizing that she will lose her memories, she starts writing letters to her future self, arming her with the information she needs to survive.

    But as Sakura, past and present, inches closer to discovering who wants her dead, she's also getting perilously close to the Uchiha's most dangerous secret, one they've been trying to bury for close to a decade...
