Summary
Inexplicably, a girl with reasonably okay memory and an unhealthy obsession with all things including turtles and ninjas crash landed in the body of April O'Neil, 2012 edition. In her opinion, one of the most misunderstood female characters to date.
April, as she will later accept as her name, has beef with the TMNT writers at Nickelodeon and will show them just what she thinks of their canon.

(This isn't a retelling of the series, trust
Also one-sided capril and apritello, sorry gang, tags are only there for content warning purposesAlso also, the summary makes it seem more goofy than it is, I promise it isn't)

Summary
A wakes up in Callen Anderson's body- a high school student with really bad memory and a lot of problems at home. That's it. That's literally the fic.
(This is in first person SOLEY BECAUSE THE BOOK IS IN FIRST PERSON, otherwise it would have been written in 3rd person like 90% of the things I write.)

Summary
***Hiatus for heavy rewrites as of May, 2025 cuz this is actual SHIT and I, as a writer, am ashamed of it***
They were cold, dark, and empty; those eyes of his. His eyes have seen many things.
So much hate and ignorance. Yet, he still gives everything he is to those people. He gives everything he has to smile away the bad thoughts.
This is a story about Uzumaki Naruto's Good Days, his Bad Days, and the days he gets help.

Summary
Robin is so, so stupid.
In a situation where Robin accidentally outs herself to Vickie, she panics and lies, saying she’s not “like that” and that she actually has a boyfriend. Whose the boyfriend, you ask? The first name she could think of that would even slightly go along with her lie.
Eddie fucking Munson.

Summary
Inspired by Popcorn_123456789's work 'Mind controlled bat" because i ALSO agree that Sonar's turn didn't feel all that earned or realistic, based on how his character acted beforehand.
Also, Angst is more fun!
I started this narratively the same way Popcorn_123456789 did, but am taking my own direction after the beginning chapters

Summary
A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.
The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.
Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.

Summary
I turn around, and slam my forehead into the deck as I fall to my knees. “Please, god, I know the last time we talked I told you to suck an egg but what the actual fuck. What did I do? Is this because of the gay thing? I’ll stop I swear I’ll knock it off just please—”
“What are you talking about? Why were you swimming all the way out here? What’s with your weird clothes?” The Boy, whom I refuse to name on principle, starts rapid fire shooting out questions while wiggling his way across the tiny boat to me.
“This is actually happening. Oh my god this is real, what the shit…” I turn around from my position on the floor to see The Boy crouched inches from my face. I give an undignified yelp and scramble as far back as I can without tipping over the edge.
He gives me that bright grin and announces “I’m Monkey D. Luffy! I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!” Then he cocks his head to the side. “Who’re you?”

Bookmarker's Notes
I love this fic and I love the author! I’m on the edge of my seat half the time. I’m gasping, laughing, and crying in all the right spots. This fic just knows how to trigger emotions in just the right places and it's such a good read. It truly feels as if you're being pulled along in the adventures of the protagonist. It's easy to get hooked on this fanfic, and it's just as easy to lose yourself in it. Chapters are long enough to satisfy readers without dragging it on with irrelevant ramble, great audience interaction, realistic reactions from the MC, MC not overpowered (the opposite, in fact, MC needs to put in the work for power and connections). All in all, I can firmly say that this fic is one of my top 5, if not my favorite fic ever.

Formerly "His Choices". Title has been changed as the story has been expanded upon!
An impulsive decision leaves Steven near death and trapped in a bubble underwater with nothing to do but contemplate the events leading up to his situation. Time is against him, and darkness and desperation are closing in.
The consequences of his choice leave his friends questioning their own decisions and struggling to communicate with him as they all grapple with the challenges of his recovery.
This fic was written at the end of 2019, before Steven Universe Future had finished airing.
