Summary
Bijuu chakra is corrosive. Not just to the body, but also the soul. So corrosive, in fact, that it can wear down the barriers between this life and the last. Usually, this doesn't do much.
Usually, souls aren't reborn wanting to remember.

Team Seven starts as four people and ends up as nine in four bodies. It's... complicated.

Summary
The Shinigami decides he doesn't like the ending. So, like any self-respecting member of a fandom, he decides to change it.
__________
At least she knew there was an afterlife, seeing as she had some self-awareness, and wasn’t just scattered energy in the vast universe. She wondered idly what her destination was.She never got to see for herself, though, because all of a sudden something grabbed her.
There was a feeling that she imagined was much like being pulled through a rather large vat of jello, and suddenly she was face-to-face with — the Shinigami from Naruto?“Oh, good,” he said, “You’re from one of those universes. That makes explanations much easier.”
NOTE: On hiatus due to fandom switching.

Listen, Tsuna already has two mists, so it's not impossible for him to have a double set.
It would be great if Reborn would stop trying to set him up with people though. -

Summary
A place where I put extra stuff related to the main work of the series; Life is Alright and Then you Die (and That's Where the Fun Begins)
Mostly it's previous versions of the fic, or little side stories I ended up not including in the main one. (I edited/straight-out removed a lot of plot points.)

Summary
Shang Qinghua, also known as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, stared flatly at what had once been a field boasting near sect-level Feng Shui alignment, and the drowned, bloated remains of the Sun and Moon Dew Flower cuttings that had sprouted within it. Their plan was now quite literally a wash.
If only he could consult Cucumber Bro on how to save Cucumber Bro! But in the absence of Cucumber Bro, he could but rely on the one plot coupon the infamous Peerless Cucumber had ever applauded.

Summary
Caught up in these thoughts, with the System breathing down his neck, Shen Qingqiu does not properly assess the situation as he should.
Perhaps the biggest mistake Shen Qingqiu makes in this moment is not his confidence in Luo Binghe’s abilities nor the potential ripple effects of the changed situation surrounding his broken seal: it’s that he doesn’t think to be cautious of Luo Binghe.
Shen Qingqiu, in his years in this role, has never harmed Luo Binghe. He hasn’t betrayed Luo Binghe yet. Shen Qingqiu has become far too accustomed to their easy, fond companionship. He forgets, in this moment, the way qi balance shifting wildly out of equilibrium can make people behave in unexpected, unpredictable, often violent ways.
Even toward those they love.
or: Shen Qingqiu makes a potentially catastrophic error at the Immortal Alliance Conference. One that changes everything...yet not what Shen Qingqiu cares about most.
