Summary
Lucy Heartfilia was never meant to survive.
She is her mother’s legacy and her father’s regret, a girl born with too much magic and not enough mercy in the world to hold it. She does not beg to be understood. She does not expect to live long enough to be forgiven.
Born of myth and branded by men, she walks the world with keys that remember an empire, with spirits that would tear kingdoms down for the curve of her smile.
The stars already know how this ends and Lucy will not go quietly.
(Or, featuring: feral Lucy, Natsu who was raised by Acnologia and is a Chaos Dragon Slayer. And world building. Lots of world building.)

Summary
Ron Weasley dies during the Second War. Death comes to collect him but instead of finality, he offers a wager over a chess. If Ron wins, he may go back and change everything.
Ron wins and respawns as his six-year-old self.
Unfortunately, that self comes with war flashbacks, a front row seat to how badly everything went the first time, and the deeply unpleasant realisation that his entire family is basically walking into a slaughterhouse if he doesn’t intervene.
(or, Ron time travel fix it with loads of worldbuilding and a side of dimension travel for funsies.)

Summary
Her life is luckless by design, a phrase which here means that if misfortune were a profession, someone had not only hired her, but promoted her repeatedly for outstanding performance.
This is the story of a girl who has died more than a hundred times, which is the sort of statistic that should make you question your reading choices.
This is, in fact, a truly unfortunate story, and if I were you, I would consider closing this page and stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, or at the very least finding something less alarming to occupy your time. This story involves gods with grudges and prides large enough to start wars, children in superhero suits fighting monsters they are woefully underqualified to face, and chaos, literal Chaos, which is always more troublesome than the metaphorical kind.
In another life, one that is, sadly, not this one, Marinette might have been a normal girl with a normal life (even if it's only during the daytime).
In this one, she is far from normal and equally just as fucked. Marinette does not weep for what she has lost. She laughs at the thought that she was ever fated to be anything less than the one to bear it all.
(or, I'm re-writing canon.)

Summary
Shen Yuan of Proud Immortal Demon Way was supposed to be a child bride. That was the plan, apparently.
Step one: get sold off.
Step two: die quietly.
Step three: ???
Instead, the house burned down, someone got murdered and Shen Yuan started remembering a past life as a chronically ill and chronically online man with commitment issues and a lot of complaints about webnovels.
Then the System kicked in.
Turns out, he's in a story. And said story keeps trying to shove him down a path paved with suffering and “character growth.” Shen Yuan would really rather not.
Also featuring:
- Shizun LBH
- Overprotective Dads SQQ and YQQ
- A war against the narrative engine of fate itself
- The Council of Transmigrators™ (featuring Kim Dokja, Cale Henituse, and other emotionally exhausted outliers)

How to Prevent a Civil War by notesfromtheunderworld

Summary
Aella Targaryen loses an eye and gains a dragon, which she considers a fair trade until her father engages her to the boy who maimed her.
What follows is her realising she can, in fact, do whatever she wants as she is ruined, which leads to her mother developing a permanent headache and a very real interest in joining the nearest sept.
Westeros gets a golden age of peace because no one can start a civil war when they're too busy dealing with cult politics, homicidal goats, and Alicent Hightower's desperate quest for ONE normal grandchild.
(or, fuck canon)
