The Galactic Empire Reconsidered: Perspectives on the Third Centenary of the Battle of Endor
304 ABYIt is time, and long past time, for a critical reexamination of Palpatine’s rise to power, specifically in regards to some of the most popular and sensationalist beliefs that persist about the Clone Wars and the coup d’etat of 19 BBY. In short, let us ask the following questions: Was Palpatine really a Sith Lord? Were the Clone Wars really the result of a secret Sith plot? Did Darth Sidious, as we must call him, really rule both Republic and Confederacy simultaneously? And what does it mean for our understanding of the Interregnum if none of this is true?

when eighteen-year-old, post-war Sakura is thrown back into her tiny, pre-Academy body, she makes a decision. she'd had a childhood once already, and this time, she's more interested in Not Dying when the inevitable shit hits the proverbial fan. so she will work harder, care less, kill more, and smile when she's done.
and hey, if she ends up reviving an extinct nature transformation to attract the most corrupt, power-hungry man from her timeline, all the better for her, right?

Summary
It's a self insert fic. You know the drill.
Featuring a grumpy protagonist who wants mochi, clean socks, and to maintain possession of their life and eyeballs in that order, a troll-dad sensei who's genuinely trying to understand the pint sized weirdos he's been saddled with but isn't sure where to start, and two team mates who are honest to god twelve year olds who canonically didn't mature until after the handy dandy time skip.
Where, please, is the unsubscribe button, because I'd like to request a different afterlife.

Summary
N’Jadaka didn’t believe in the gods of his people. But belief was not a prerequisite of the gods’ attention, and the blood of the Panther tribe ran in N’Jadaka’s veins. Bast took hold of his soul in her mighty jaws and lifted it free of his body. She gave him a warning shake, just as she would a misbehaving kitten, and set him back. With one careful claw, she tweaked his path through time into a twisting loop. Wayward and abandoned though he was, N’Jadaka was still of her tribe. He could set things right, if given the chance.
Erik gets a do-over. Erik gets a lot of do-overs. Or: Erik Killmonger's own personal version of Groundhog Day, only with a lot more murder, dying, trips to the ancestral plane, awkward family conversations, and divine intervention.

Kakashi was used to losing people. He was not used to getting them back. And the feral surviving Sakura he gets back is not the same little nearly-civilian Haruno Sakura he lost but he's damned happy to have her back regardless.

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
All that Harry can find to eat are acid pops. There's a jar on the table, another on the counter, and an entire box in the cupboard.
Harry shrugs, swipes an already opened and clearly half eaten acid pop from where it sits in its sticky wrapper on the counter, and sticks it in his mouth before leaving the kitchen.
They can make it another day, at least.
After Voldemort's seeming death, Bellatrix snatches baby Harry and goes into hiding with him. She perhaps has a few bad habits that rub off onto him, and after he finds out that she isn't his mother, things change.

Summary
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes the immortal leader of a cult tries to summon the god of death and gets you instead. ‘Not dying’ just got a lot more complicated than ‘follow chemlab safety instructions.’ A tongue-in-cheek, Akatsuki-centric SI/OC.

Summary
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.
The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.
When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.

Ministry v. Harry Potter: An Analysis of Wizarding Britain’s Legal System by kitsunerei88
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Original Work
14 Oct 2020
Tags
Summary
Harry Potter has three canonical trials and many other references to legal processes and systems which are never really explained in their totality. The few glimpses we do see are puzzling: why is Harry being tried before the full WIzengamot? Why does Fudge have such a huge role? What about Umbridge, and how does it all work? It's easy to say that JKR just didn't think of a cohesive legal system (and that may very well be correct), but what happens if we do an analysis of the legal processes shown in Harry Potter?
Or: A lawyer takes on Harry Potter, and discovers that all witches and wizards are noble. Actually.

Ichigo’s been ordered to go undercover at a magic school to bodyguard a kid named Harry Potter, and this would be fine, except that he’s about as good at bodyguarding as he is at magic. And he considers it a good day, magic-wise, if he hasn’t set anything on fire.
