    Summary

    Sometimes, Naruto wished he could do it all over again. He liked to think he could fix some stuff if he tried. If he lived his life a little differently, made some better choices along the way, understood a key truth or two a little earlier, then maybe he wouldn't be so unhappy. Maybe everyone else would be happier, too.

    Or maybe he would do everything exactly the same way only faster, more efficiently, and worse. That was always a possibility.

    Summary

    Naruto rarely paid the other students any mind. He was too lost in his daydreams, too busy concocting schemes that would make his teacher's nose bleed. But it was never difficult to spare a thought for Sakura. He could watch her passionately write notes for hours. Sometimes her pretty pink hair would escape its barrettes and frame her face like a portrait.

    Whenever she caught him looking, he flashed his bright, toothy smile at her. She never smiled back. Her nose would wrinkle or brow furrow, but it didn't bother him much. He still held out hope that she would return it one day - look at him with even a fraction of the appreciation she directed towards Sasuke. If he could just prove to her (and all of Konohagakure) that he was worth something - that Uzumaki Naruto was somebody - then maybe he would finally get that smile.

    Summary

    Harry Potter is a dragon. He's been a dragon for several years, and frankly he's quite used to the idea - after all, in his experience nobody ever comments about it, so presumably it's just what happens sometimes.
    Magic, though, THAT is something entirely new.

    Comedy fic, leading on from the consequences of one... admittedly quite large... change.

     

    This largely follows canon in many respects, but a lot of the more dangerous events aren't as dangerous as they are in canon. Instead Harry has a comparatively normal seven years at Hogwarts, getting a mostly-uninterrupted magical education, which if you think about it is quite an impressive feat for an intelligent dragon.

    This fic features a broadly dotty but pleasant Dumbledore, Dean Thomas elevated to a coequal status of main character with Ron, Hermione and Neville, House Rivalries treated as a school in-joke, and a cast of many people who are not human.

    It also features Dumbledore teaching classes, though only once he remembers to tell people about the class.

    Summary

    It's December, four months since the Pines twins left Gravity Falls behind, and Dipper is painfully aware of that fact. His plain old life in Piedmont just can't compare to the mysteries and adventures of Gravity Falls. Not to mention the people...

    Hundreds of miles away, Wendy is in a similar boat. Amid dreary winter days and piled-on schoolwork, she can't help but miss the summer, and the person that made it so special.

    Neither can wait to meet again, and both are resigned to the fact that it won't be happening anytime soon.

    However, fate has other plans, and their reunion will come far sooner than either thinks. Some bad weather, a very bad book, and a lot of buried feelings will ensure that both Dipper and Wendy's winter ends up a lot more interesting (and dangerous) than they expect.

    After all, who said Gravity Falls is only weird in the summertime?

    Summary

    Dipper was over Wendy Corduroy. She'd turned him down flat, and he had no idea how he let himself believe he'd ever had a chance in the first place.

    His summer crush had amounted to nothing, and he was just going to have to deal with that. Besides, they could still be friends, right?

    He was fine with that!

    Really.
