Summary
In which Alicent Hightower’s roots were steeped in the magic of Oldtown, and the First Men were far from chaste—bloodlines mingled in the ancient past. But instead of accidentally warging into animals, as told in the olden tales, she unconsciously connects to a far more unlikely beast in her desperation.
OR
In which Daemon Targaryen has a series of very bad, no good days. And a voice in his head.

A Pathologist's Guide to Getting a Date by dab_of_paint

Summary
Isabella Marie Swan, 28, had long since grown up. The Cullens left her high and dry, and while she could certainly see how hormones had made her a raving maniac for a melodramatic teenage boy, she did not foresee how much it would rankle to be shown a world where she'd have had all the time in the world—and then be cut off.
It started with the search for a connection to the ones that left—a medical career, maybe a way to get a glimpse of at least Carlisle Cullen—but she quickly noticed what had really fascinated her all these years: Death—in all of its beautiful, terrible glory.
Hence, she became a forensic pathologist.
OR
Bella Swan is smitten with Death, slightly cynical, and finds it a giggle-worthy idea to move to Florence to work as a pathologist in the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, a little more than a stone's throw away from one Volterra Castle.
That was - before she'd had to do four consecutive night shifts because someone was an idiot and didn't clean up after themselves.
Hence, she sent the Volturi a brain, since they obviously needed one.
Aro thinks she's flirting.

Summary
If anyone else than me is reading this, you are either snooping in my stuff without my knowledge—in which case: Cease and desist; have been given the privilege of having gained my utmost trust; or—and I am reasonably sure that this is the most likely scenario: I am dead and you have found what one could call my memoires.
What I may still come to call the only thing that will keep me sane in this world. Hopefully.
I’m talking about a world—specifically, because this one is not mine.
I did not grow up under this sun, under this moon.
No, I’m not losing my mind. Not yet anyway, I think.
Lae’zel is looking my way again, sneering. Although that is fast becoming her default expression when she looks at me.
I can’t fault her for it.
This is not my world.
And I think without help, I'm destined to die.----

Isabella Marie Swan, 28 years of age, has a pen pal. If one could call it that. It was – at least, a pleasant exchange of bodies and body parts.
It was a logical conclusion for her to try and tap that for Valentine’s.OR
Edward is melodramatic.
Bella is impish.
Aro is almost vibrating out of his shoes from excitement.An AU Ending to "A Pathologist's Guide to Getting a Date"

Summary
Hyuuga Hinata is three years old when Kumo-nin kidnap and immediately kill her. She returns, but not quite as herself.
Not-Hinata is everything Hinata isn’t; she’s abrasive, blunt, and confident. She deals with her problems swiftly and mercilessly, with only three exceptions. The first being the political struggle between the main family and the branch family of her clan. The second, the persistent looming cosmic threat of chakra permeating every aspect of this world (which no one else finds concerning). And the third, a boy her age with the lofty dream of becoming Hokage.
Hyuuga Hinata would much rather face political turmoil and lovecraftian horrors than Uzumaki Naruto. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have much of a choice.

Summary
She was named Lucia Aragón once.
Lucia.
And she was born in the place of a Strong Boy meant to die. She was born in the place of the spark, the kindling and flint that began the rage of Fire across Westeros.
She is the first note to the Dance.
Or, well, she’s supposed to be. But the girl born to the Realm’s Delight had one, single thought about that:
That in her second life, Princess Lucerae Velaryon will take a note from her surname, and RUN.
