Summary
In a world obsessed with killing and dying, Seiko is mostly concerned with chasing off her boredom. The Academy wasn’t exactly intellectually stimulating, but dying in the second shinobi war sounded like a long walk off a short pier. Everyone is always so stressed about avoiding attention, or min-maxing skills in situations like this.
Seiko is of the opinion that those people need to chill the hell out. Maybe play a little shogi. Death comes for them all anyways. Better to enjoy this all while it lasts.
(genius self insert stumbles into disrupting a timeline with the intentionality of an elephant trampling a very fancy tea shop.)

Summary
At 22, five months after the events at Godric’s Hollow, Severus Snape is defined by grief, twisted by guilt, and driven reckless by loneliness.
When an ancient artifact tears open a world where Lily still lives, he is forced to confront the weight of his choices; those he made, and those he didn’t.
There, he must face the ghosts of his past, the consequences of his actions, and the quiet, terrifying realization of what might have been… and something far more dangerous: hope.

Summary
What if Voldemort attacked both Neville and Harry that Halloween night?
The world crowns Neville as the Boy Who Lived. Harry is presumed dead, lost in fire and legend.But far from magic, a boy with strange powers grows up unseen, unnamed, and forgotten. And in the shadows, a fugitive godfather risks everything: prison, death, and worse; for one impossible goal; to give Harry a name, a future, and a home.
A Name in the Ashes is a canon-divergent take on the “Wrong Boy Who Lived” trope, told with a focus on emotional realism, character depth, and slow-burning tension. It avoids character bashing in favour of layered perspectives; people may clash or fail each other, but no one is villainised for the sake of plot. Though not a crack fic, the series carries a thread of humour, especially through character dynamics and interactions.
Part One of “The Seven Names of Harry Potter.”
Spans from Halloween 1981 to just after Harry's tenth birthday.
A quiet beginning to a larger story of identity, memory, and found family.
No pairings.

Summary
You made a mistake, shishō. If it was Naruto, he might have made peace with it. It's people like me, who keeps wanting more, doesn't know when to make peace, can't make peace. Can't live with being the only one alive. Can't handle being left behind even in death. This is no last stand. This is selfishness. Sakura-centric Time Travel where for once, Team 7 chases Sakura.
