Summary
On a routine patrol, Tobirama comes across a small group seemingly of one Uchiha leading four allies to the heart of Senju territory. If circumstances and the people involved were what he first thought, then he would have simply dealt with the invading force and carried on with his patrol.
However, three children fleeing hostile enemies is not something to be dealt with as he first intended. Such circumstances demand his immediate intervention.

Summary
At the end of the world, Tobirama is transported to the past—not far enough to change the event calculated to impact the future the most. But he can make it work, right enough wrongs to prune away the rotted and poisoned roots, years to fix what he can and hunt down Madara after the First Shinobi World War wraps up. First and foremost is overcoming the Kinkaku Force, and thus, his death.
Except history repeats, a second playing of sacrificial rabbit to lure the hound away from his kits. He dies again by claws of pure chakra—
Yet he awakens again, on the day he came back to the past.

A plum tree can grow to great heights with many branches reaching toward the sun. The tree flowering in winter signals the end of its bitter cold and the arrival of spring's sweet warmth.

Summary
Tolkien throws a graduation party at his parent's lake side cabin and invites the whole class. It's all well and good until cultists decide a bunch of teenagers are the perfect sacrifices to complete their blood ritual. Kenny will do whatever it takes to make sure his friends make it out alive, be that kill or die (repeatedly) in their place. It's not like they're going to remember in the morning anyway.
Right?
-
TLDR: Kenny turns the slasher film on it's head by being an immortal final girl.

Summary
“Hi.” Good. Great opening. Smooth, casual. Not awkward at all.
“Ah hello,” Hot Stranger answers with a small smile.
Akira doesn’t let his smile falter as he says, praying it’s true: “I’m waiting for my blind date. I’m guessing that’s you?”
The Sexiest Man Waking the Planet gives a half-suppressed laugh, looking Akira up and down with the judgy gaze of a strict school teacher – a hot teacher who spanks his studentsnot now, stupid brain. “Arnold, I presume.”
Akira flatlines.
“… Yeap. That’s me. I am Arnold.” Akira’s mouth says. “Arnold is I. We’re one and the… same.”*****
Lying to your future husband isn’t nice, but sometimes necessary to get him to be yours.Collab with Mel for “One Day – Akeshuake Adventures in the Future”: Date Night!

Summary
There's something downright supernatural about Conan's case magnetism. It doesn't take long for certain people to start comparing notes... and for some of them to start taking it seriously. It all goes downhill from there.

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

Summary
He runs as quickly as his feet carry him, passing containers, shelves, only a few meters separating him from the front door. He hears the shouts of the Yakuza behind him as they finally spot him — but they won’t be fast enough to shoot, Akira has already reached the door, he yanks down the handle, pushes open the door—
And comes face to face with a ghost.
___________________________________________
Five years after the fall of Maruki's reality, Akira has a chance encounter with a certain detective.
