Summary
Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
Sometimes one change makes waves.Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected.In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.Series

Summary
Azula pushes Zuko off the roof. Things change.
"She offered her prayers and thanks to the gods, particularly whichever one had decided to take mercy on her brother’s fall. She felt a breeze brush past her bangs, one that sounded like a sigh, and thanked them more fervently. She hesitated, then continued with the request that had been resting heavily upon her heart.
“Please let Mother keep loving me. Please let Zuko keep loving me,” she whispered, not sure who she was asking anymore.
She did not bother asking for her father’s love."

Summary
When Shanks had his crew dock in a sleepy little village in the East Blue, he had intended for it to only be a short stop before venturing on to fulfil his Captain's last request. He had intended to get supplies, get drunk, and leave again, staying no longer than a day.
He had not intended on staying for a year.
He certainly had not intended on gaining a son.
Or: a selection of moments throughout Shanks' stay at Dawn Island which highlighted the unwitting bond between himself and his beloved Anchor.

Summary
High in the halls of ice and wintry waters, an iceberg cracks.
They tend to do that. It’s hardly a unique occurence. Every day, babies are born, good men die, fires start, and ice breaks.
It is natural. It is meant to be.
(It’s a sign)
The Avatar wakes in a changed world a century later. An almost three year search comes to fruition.
It is all different, though. Years of rumor and story have been allowed to flourish.

Summary
As life is leaving him, Anakin accepts his well-deserved end, finding solace in the love of his son in his last moments. But as Obi-Wan and Yoda guide him throught the Netherworld, they tell him this is not the end, and much need to be done still.
Anakin wakes up on Mortis, twenty-five years earlier, in a body he barely registers as his own, with his heart and mind in turmoil, and with decades worth of knowledge that could save the galaxy from Sidious' grasp. As time flows differently on Mortis, Anakin chooses to stay there with the Father and to finally learn how to be the Chosen One.
As he returns to Coruscant one year later, with a solid plan, unexpected allies and a power he never imagined at the tip of his fingers, he will have to face his demons and be the one the galaxy needs, no matter the price to himself.This fic was born from my undying curiosity for the Star Wars lore, and the absolute desire to see Anakin at his fully blossomed potential. It will be a hard and long path for him to be the Chosen One, but once Anakin is set on something, well we all know how it is !

Summary
Ozai knew trained assassins who could not have snuck past the guards into this part of the palace, let alone his office. It seemed his son might be a prodigy at something, even if it was an unconventional talent for royalty.
Ozai recognized Zuko’s potential early. That changed things.
(AKA Zuko is a ninja. Featuring a more subtly abusive Ozai, co-dependent Zuko & Azula, and general badassery.)

Summary
So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.
Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.
Or
Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.
Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.
