Help for Hydaelyn, or, A Final Fantasy 14 SI by WalkingTheRoad
Fandoms: Final Fantasy XIV

Summary
Past life memories can be inconvenient, especially when they’re awakened on accident by meddling gods. Past life memories that give you just enough information to be dangerous to the various bad guys, but not enough to act on that without risking a lot of lives with unknown gains? Inconvenient, stressful, and not great for sleep.
Once, I was Tanya of Earth, a relatively new fan of Final Fantasy 14 after I got introduced to the story by Shadowbringer. Now I’m Tomoyo the Raen, formally of Othard, now of the La Noscea archipelago. And now, I’m the Warrior of Light, best of a bunch of bad options according to the Mothercrystal.
My knowledge is spotty, my axe is sharp, and I’ve got a drive to learn and a new appreciation for all things magic and weird. If only I’d spoiled myself on Endwalker instead of holding off hoping to play it after release.
But hey, I’ve got my own chocobo. That’s got to count for something, right?
[A ‘live’ reaction to FF14’s A Realm Reborn, with spoilers from up to 5.4 due to metaknowledge, as written shortly before the release of Endwalker.]
(Next update on Saturday, February 1st!)

How well would you do in a horror movie? Me? I'm getting my ass kicked. At least I'm not alone here, but just how in the hell are we all going to get out? That, unfortunately, is still a work in progress.

Summary
It's not just the power of the Dark Dark Fruit Blackbeard gains, and some Powers That Be are pretty concerned with the consequences. That's all well and good, but bringing in a college student into the world of One Piece and throwing her at the problem might not be the best way to go about it. Mixing the Power of Darkness (TM) into things? Well, Tanya's just hoping it doesn't drive her nuts before the Straw Hats do...
(Mild Kingdom Hearts Crossover SI. -Not- overpowered SI. SI is still squishy Terran.)

A Pirate's Guide to Fine Dining by Lady_of_War_and_Heartache
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)

Summary
Sora doesn’t know if the drug she drank is a success until she finally gives birth and two of her five babies are crying.
Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are silent as corpses, but her little Sanji hiccups around light coos, and her tiny Gomako wails.
Three months later, when Gomako finally joins her brothers in their playpen, Niji will yank on his sister’s hair and bite her wrist to the bone so that she may relinquish his favorite toy.
Gomako doesn’t even flinch. She simply tosses the toy in the opposite corner of the playpen and toddles over to the doctors so that they may look at her wrist and check it for infection. And Sora will see this and despair, because her husband and his pet scientists robbed her daughter of everything.
Or: A self-insert lands in the world of One Piece and has to figure out how to navigate a world built on dreams when she is incapable of having one herself.
Featuring: A very much alive Trafalgar D. Water Lami, a confused Zeff who wants to know why the sea's given him more daughters than he knows what to do with, a very competent Buggy, and a Sanji with a sister who will teach him to act normal around women, so help her Nika.

Even if this never updates again, it's still a blast and a half for this 'emotionless' SI to plod her way through canon...and then thoroughly upend it. So much fun and feels.

Summary
Per the prompt, "the Spider-Man fic where anti-mutant bigots think JJ is one of them because of how he is about Spider-Man and he experiences no personal insight whatsoever in reaction to this but is so offended he dedicates the front cover of the Bugle to spotlighting the X-Men for like three days straight and Peter is keysmash feelings".

JJJ doesn't hate mutants, he hates Spider Man, there's a difference! And it's presented in the most hilarious but in character fashion here.

I know nothing of Danmachi, but that doesn't stop me from having a ton of fun with this crossover. Taylor gets a chance to be the hero she should've been, while still being her Escalating Self. When even the primodial, Zeus's own grandad looks at Taylor and goes, 'oh shit, here comes *trouble*,' you know it's going to be good.

Summary
Tanya thought that writing a paper on the potential applications of ancient magic would be her ticket to being assigned to boring, useless, SAFE research work far from the frontlines. But her crazy theory turned out to work well beyond her expectations, and now, as the head of Division Y, she has to manage the mad scientists and occultists under her command, the eldritch monsters they have created, and the demands of their superiors for more miracles to fight the Great War with.
Is this all Being X's plan ?!Now has a TV Tropes page : https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/AYoungGirlsWeaponizationOfTheMythos

It's telling that Tanya becomes a better adjusted person with Lovecraftian BS added into the mix compared to her canon self. A most excellent crossover, 10/10.

Summary
The world is bleak, the survival of the human race hangs by a thread, and the heroes and villains only make it worse. The last thing any of them need is a talking monkey swinging about and making them tear their hairs out.
Once he was a great traveler, now he is lost in a foreign land. There is but one thing left to do: grab whatever catches his fancy and wreak mayhem at whoever tries to stop him! Maybe even get some disciples on the way, his teacher would be proud.
Now with a TVTropes page!
