Summary
Scales, claws, and a pair of wings he has absolutely no idea how to use weren't exactly what he'd expected from a second chance at life.
Now he's got a whole new world to discover, and absolutely no idea what he's doing.
Things probably won't be easy, but he's been given another shot at living, and he's certainly not going to waste it.
Besides, what's a thousand little steps to happiness?

Summary
A lot has changed since Sans gave up on the machine in the workshop. And yet, everything seems to have stayed the same regardless.
They're never going to go back to the way things used to be. Both Sans and Papyrus know that. But perhaps, if they stick together and keep pressing onward, they can find a new meaning to all of this. They can find meaning in a world that keeps resetting on itself.
And their friends might be the key to doing it.

Status:
Year 1 - At volume 11 currently"You're so caught up in wins and losses that you skip over defining what they really mean. Is an academic genius the winner in a room of world-class athletes? Just give it some thought. Are you truly winning here if you're the only one invested in the competition?
Sure. Mathematically, in a room of 100 people, if 50 of them agree with you, that's game. You're right here. So? What about out there? Are you going to question half of 8 billion people each time someone refutes your vision?
Just between you and me, Kiyotaka. I think setting your finish line simply to comply or deny another's whims, instead of following your own, is a lost cause off the bat. I'm not planning to peak in this Highschool. How about you?"

Rust Under Tides by snowysballs

Summary
A story about new beginnings, summer, and the strange people who end up entering your life when you least expect it.
After leaving your old life behind, you arrive in the coastal town of Tidalport looking for nothing more than a quiet place to start over. But after your pickup truck breaks down right at the entrance of town, you end up meeting Kaia — a mosasaur mechanic with a difficult temperament, few words, and problems of her own that she clearly prefers to keep buried.
Between coastal streets, noisy workshops, fishermen, motorcycles, and old family conflicts that never truly disappeared… maybe Tidalport will become more than just a new home.
Maybe it’s the place where two equally lost people finally learn how to move forward.

Summary
When young Stubbornina arrives in the Gallic village on the Armorican coast, Asterix’ life takes a new turn. The girl is unbearable. She is stubborn, absolute, and nationalistic. She's obsessed with killing the poor Romans, wears pants instead of skirts, carries weapons, and insists on joining every adventure. Their relationship becomes increasingly complicated, leading each of them to new realizations about themselves, life, and love.
Cherry on the cake: the sly gaze of Getafix, who can foresee what he doesn’t already know, and the stoic wisdom of Obelix, who has philosophized about life like no one else. -

Summary
Όταν η νεαρή Πεισματίνα έρχεται στο γαλατικό χωριό στις Ακτές της Αρμορικής, η ζωή του Αστερίξ παίρνει άλλη τροπή. Η μικρή δεν αντέχεται. Είναι ισχυρογνώμων, απόλυτη και εθνικόφρων. Έχει μανία να σκοτώνει τους καημένους τους Ρωμαίους, φοράει παντελόνια, κουβαλάει όπλα και θέλει να έρχεται μαζί σε κάθε περιπέτεια. Η σχέση τους περιπλέκεται όλο και περισσότερο, οδηγώντας έκαστο σε νέες συνειδητοποιήσεις για τους εαυτούς τους, τη ζωή και τον έρωτα. Κερασάκια στην τούρτα: το πονηρό βλέμμα του Πανοραμίξ που ό,τι δεν ξέρει ήδη το προβλέπει και η στωική σοφία του Οβελίξ, που έχει φιλοσοφήσει τη ζωή όσο κανένας άλλος.

Summary
TLDR; BadEnding!Monika gets transferred into DDLCPlus!SideStories continuity, Given second chance, Romance with Protagonist Character
Monika wakes up to find that someone has brought her back in order to have her be in a modded version of DDLC, with a dedicated Monika Route. This new game world is similar but different to the one she deleted during the bad ending of the main story of the Visual Novel. Her friends are much closer than ever before, and the main character is solely in love with her. It seemed like she was forgiven and given a second chance in order to experience a better world where she'll get everything she's ever wanted.
But for some reason, it seemed like a happy ending still wasn't within her reach. What exactly does the Player have planned in store for her?

After an unexpectedly romantic evening spent secretly in Miranda's company, just before their shore leave on Illium is over, John Shepard finds himself invited to her office the following morning, not only for their regularly scheduled briefing, but for the promise of breakfast - hand-cooked by his executive officer. Yet after the previous evening, both seem to realise something has changed between them. Whilst they had started the mission as nothing more than two officers, then slowly growing to become two friends - two close friends - that one evening overlooking the Nos Astra skyline seemed to have changed everything. In the midst of such a dangerous mission, one everyone knows could spell their end, Shepard finds himself questioning what she truly means to him, is there anything more to their friendship, is she more to him than just a friend, is there more blooming between them than the roses he gifts her?
