Summary
‘Oh, no,’ he thinks to himself, staring blankly at the unfamiliar reflection in the mirror. ‘I could have at least been someone relevant to the plot, like Gojo or Sukuna. Instead I’m a background character.’
Recognition sinks him further into despair, when it finally creeps in and he puts a name to his own face.
‘Oh, no. I’m the sexist.’
———
An attempt at a SI-fic with a character not quite lucky enough to be given easy access to the main cast. Sporting a fresh case of “amnesia” and a disgustingly overpowered cursed technique to balance out his ineptitude, the casual fan who’s replaced Naoya Zen’in has enough on his plate without having to muddle through clan politics and the social repercussions of incarnating as such an utter bastard. It’s going to be really hard to save the world and not die when he’s barely involved in the original plot … and when he never even finished the damn manga.
Maybe he’s only half-lying when he says he doesn’t remember anything.

Summary
GRYFFINDORS. Go up the marble staircase and left, and keep travelling in that general direction; you’ll want to be going towards your left, because Gryffindor Tower is on the easternmost side of the castle, and you’re coming from the north/north-west. Once you reach the second floor, you can take a short-cut! Concealed behind a tapestry is a narrow staircase to the upper floors...
A guide for people writing fic set in Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, who want to know where everything is, a first-person walk-through, written as if a Prefect is handing out pamphlets to all the poor ickle firsties. ^_^’
( Includes a map I made, back before the new illustrated editions came out when we still had no official guide, based on JKR's. )( UPDATE: now includes a rough map of Hogsmeade! )

Summary
Squirrelpaw doesn't know what to do. Cats are dying, the forest is being torn apart around her, and her sister has just told her that, according to a prophecy from their warrior ancestors, she and her best friend will lead ThunderClan to destruction. In short: everything seems to be going wrong all at once.
And then, in her dreams, she receives a message from StarClan directly. A warning about one last, impossible, twist of fate.
In another time, Firepaw the apprentice has just become Fireheart, warrior of ThunderClan, and is ready to defend his adopted clan from any threat - be it rogues, enemy warriors, or even their own scheming deputy. On the night of his vigil, he isn't sure what to expect, but it definitely isn't the mysterious cat who emerges from the forest.
The cat who claims to be his daughter.
(Or: Squirrelpaw, through worldly machinations unknown, is sent back in time to when her father was a young warrior, her mother was still an apprentice, and the dreaded Tigerclaw still stalked the forest.
This can only go so well.)

Love Pays No Indemnity by Jana

Summary
After the Battle of the Five Armies and return to home, Bilbo feels strangely restless. Well, the way his family tries to marry him off might be contributing to this. The One Ring decides it needs to understand its bearer better in order to properly manipulate him - the hobbit is proving unexpectedly good at resisting its influence.
The road to East is long and this was never supposed to happen, but violence was never Bilbo's preference when it came to solving problems - whether he was aware that a problem existed or not. The Wise and the Mighty might say that everything has already been tried against Sauron, but Good Hobbit Sense and actually communicating somehow hadn't made that list.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in his old bed in his old home in his old body. Is this death? Or a trick of magic? Either way, Bilbo recognizes a second chance when he sees one, and this time his adventure with Thorin is going to go a bit differently.
