Naruto: The Awakened Soul by Welydora

Summary
Death is only a transition. For the soul of a contemporary man, it became reincarnation into the void, where his only reality was a body of pure energy. But one reckless experiment tossed him into the body of an infant in a shinobi world he’d always thought was fiction — a world ruled by Blood and Chakra
What to expect:
Atmosphere: Positive Pragmatism! This is NOT a darkfic. Expect a positive tone with dark humor. Tragedy serves only as a catalyst for the protagonist's rise. This is a story about growth and paying the price for power, not endless self-pity.
World & Plot: A deep AU exploring chakra mechanics far beyond canon. Like the "Evolution" tag? You’ll find it here in this world of blood. Battles are flashy, cinematic, and high-stakes.
Canon: Familiar, but new variables send the plot completely off the rails.
Characters & Growth: A strong focus on both the protagonist and side characters. The MC undergoes a massive transformation from a regular student to a powerhouse. While there is deep reflection and introspection, it is mostly confined to the start of the story to set the stage—no endless navel-gazing later on.

Summary
Nepo-baby Jackson Hund has spent years dodging Apix’s assignment system, where men are claimed like property. But when his mother secretly files his paperwork, Jackson takes a desperate risk: he heads into the most dangerous part of the city to buy forged medical documents that will label him unassignable. This leads him to the Hard Wolves—three deceptively dangerous Aardwolf sisters who run a gang that is closer to a criminal enterprise that specializes in white collar crime.
Sophie, the cunning leader; Sonya, the soft-spoken master counterfeiter with predatory charm; and Sarah, with a temper as short as she is, agree to sell him what he needs—or so he thinks.
Pulled into their world of illicit paperwork, digital fraud, and data ransom, Jackson finds himself trapped between government oversight, gang politics, and a marriage he didn't sign up for. But as he becomes entangled in their business—and their lives—he faces an unexpected truth: The sisters are offering the agency and validation he craves.

Autobots and Decepticons alike circle closer—some seeking to protect you, others to possess you—until distance becomes impossible and neutrality a luxury you can no longer afford.
This is a slow descent into obsession, intimacy, and power—where attraction burns hot, trust is dangerous, and the war for Cybertron becomes uncomfortably personal.

Summary
“I wish I could promise you that once I release this tether, you’ll go back to being fully alive, but I can’t. I don’t know what’s going to happen, and I’m sorry.
“What I can promise you is that you have a chance. You still have memories to relive. I think that… what happens to your spirit after, whether you live or die, is by your will. Either you dig your nails in and fight when death pulls you again, or you let go. It's your choice.”
He holds the tether between them. His hand is shaking around the wire, but when Ace meets his eyes, the man smiles.
“Ace? For what it's worth, I hope you choose to live.”

Summary
One day, Amy will come to me and say that she wants to move across the planet and live a life so disconnected from my own, and I will not have the heart to stop her.
But after she reclaims this part of herself—after Tails finds his footing as the genius he is, after Knuckles settles into his well-earned freedom—I may not have a heart at all.
The thing Amy once called “boredom” is closing in, and this time, I don’t think I can run away.
—
Amy’s been solo-travelling for months, now, but when the distance gets to be a bit too much, Sonic pays her a visit.
The hedgehogs reunite in Blossom Heights, an animal settlement filled with beloved mystical and occult traditions. Amy fits right in as a fortune-teller reconnecting with her roots, but Sonic finds himself conflicted by just how bright she shines in this new place. And when she starts floating the idea of a move…
This is a fic about family of all kinds, embracing the past, and picking up the pieces that were lost along the way.
This story contends with the facts of abandonment, mortality, and death. If these topics make you uncomfortable, you may find aspects of this story upsetting.

He repeats it a few times, scratches his neck, slaps himself again, and then falls into his bed. He groans at the way it bothers his bruised ribs, but he lays there in the pain, letting it cleanse him from his thoughts earlier.
Here, in the haze of his pain, he is whole, normal, pure. He is repenting, paying his dues, accepting his punishment. He doesn’t need his pa for that, he can do it himself, make sure he’s not some dirty gay.
Gary hasn’t believed in God in a very long time; in fact, he’s certain there isn’t one. But there has to be some truths in the world, and this has to be one of them.
Gary Barkovitch is normal. And if he isn’t, he’ll break himself until his bones set right.
———————
OR - All Gary Barkovitch's life, he has been the starving mutt wandering the edge of the street light, baring his teeth at any approaching person. Maybe, now in Maine, he can learn to lower his hackles and let people in. -

Summary
Hollow was created for a single purpose: to contain the Infection and stop the Radiance.
From birth, he was trained not to think, not to feel, not to love — to be nothing but hollow. And he never resisted… until he failed.His kingdom fell. His people died. And he was left imprisoned for years beside the radiant moth goddess he was meant to contain. The Radiance tormented him, wounding both his body and his mind, whispering cruel words about his failure — and about the forbidden love he once held for the father who had sacrificed him.
When his brother Ghost came to save him, Hollow found something worth fighting for: an end to his suffering, and a chance for Hallownest to live again.
But even after the Radiance was defeated, the emptiness remained.Now, as the kingdom slowly rebuilds, Hollow struggles with guilt, nightmares, and a quiet fear of the moths that remind him of his torment. Yet he tries to move forward — for himself, and for the family that still believes in him.
A story about redemption, trauma, and love in the silence of the void.

Summary
Hollow fue creado con un solo propósito: contener la infección y detener al Destello.
Desde su nacimiento, fue entrenado para no pensar, no sentir, no amar. Su destino era ser vacío. Y así lo aceptó, sin oponerse… hasta que falló.Su reino cayó, su gente murió y él quedó encerrado durante años junto a la diosa polilla que debía contener. El Destello lo atormentó con palabras y heridas, recordándole una y otra vez su fracaso, su amor prohibido hacia su padre y la vergüenza de seguir existiendo.
Cuando su hermano Ghost llegó para liberarlo, Hollow comprendió que aún había algo por lo que luchar: el fin de su sufrimiento y una oportunidad para que Hallownest renaciera.
Pero incluso después de la derrota del Destello, la culpa y el vacío permanecen.
Mientras el reino comienza a florecer con nuevos habitantes, Hollow lucha contra su propio reflejo —una batalla silenciosa entre la culpa, la memoria y el deseo de seguir adelante.Una historia sobre redención, trauma y amor en medio del vacío.
