How to be a Time Travel Protagonist (ft. Kaminari Denki) by pepperworks

Summary
If you are to send a person back in time in order to correct a fucked up timeline, then, what kind of person will you send?
It is only natural to send back someone with a lot of information on the events surrounding why the world went downhill, isn't it? And for the case of Japan's collapse under Villain rule, perhaps someone like Hawks, who was behind the infiltration of the Paranormal Liberation front, who held lots of confidential information and could actually put it into use. Or maybe Endeavor, Japan's number one hero since the retirement of All might.
So then why, when you have all of these fully-capable heroes who actually know what was going on behind the scenes and would actually know what to do, did the role of a time traveler have to fall on Kaminari Denki, UA student who has absolutely no idea about what is even happening to the world?
Maybe this hero thing isn't for him, after all.
Warning: This work contains spoilers for the Paranormal Liberation War and some of its aftermath. Proceed with caution.
As of April 19, 2022, Chapter 12 is in progress.
As of April 15, 2023, this fanfic will be rewritten. See Chapter 12.Series

Summary
Midoriya Izuku's entire body freezes as he watches his teacher be toyed around by the creature in the plaza - large, bulky build with a yellow beak, its brains exposed and pulsating. It pins his teacher down into the ground, grips his arm, and with a loud crunching sound, breaks it. Fear overtakes him as he sees the way Aizawa's arm bent at unnatural angles.
Still in the water, the boy's body jolts in surprise as he hears yelling in the background coming from the mountain area of USJ - and his eye catches on to a green and yellow figure moving in the air, flying towards the light-blue haired villain that had dismembered hands all over his body and face.
As the villain falls backwards and he hears a crunch, the strong monster tormenting Aizawa stops. Midoriya focuses his eyes on the stranger, whose tattered yellow cape coolly fluttered in the wind. Midoriya gasps. The boy could recognize that face anywhere. He sees it in the mirror everyday.
He looks... like me.
Warning: This story contains spoilers on the Paranormal Liberation War, the beginnings of the second war, and the identity of the UA Traitor. Proceed with caution.

Volo Ut Sis Series (Lawrenitez)
Where Tremblay was elected pope and Cardinal Lawrence was made to step down his post, Benitez and Lawrence cross paths again in the Zataari Refugee Camp.
Part 2 of the series tells about how Lawrence and Benitez navigate their relationship after Benitez was made pope upon Tremblay's death.
Well-researched, engaging, and very immersive read. I have truly loved even the original character's that the author made, all complex but also with solid characterizations that you cannot mistake one for another.

Summary
“Okie-dokes.” Kuroba shakes himself, and then turns to wave at the waiting group of suspects and witnesses with a reassuring smile. They stare blankly at him.
“They’re traumatized, Kaito-san.”
“I know. That’s why I’m being nice.”
Shinichi grabs Kuroba’s jacket and starts yanking him toward the group, ignoring his annoyed muttering. In Kuroba’s defense, he’s very good at looking reassuring. It’s just a lot less effective when he’s standing next to the corpse.
——————
When a magician seemingly murders an audience member in the middle of a show, no one but Conan can even begin to figure out all the tricks of this case. Naturally, Megure talks to Nakamori, who recommends the one and only magic expert that he knows: Kuroba Kaito.

Summary
Takagi Wataru would like to register a complaint to whichever deity thought it would be hilarious to toss him into odd situations with Kaitou KID. Repeatedly. Because this was far beyond his pay grade.

Takagi gets involved with Kaitou Kid. Interesting things happen. A++ fun read. Perfect read for some good Kaitou Kid and Wataru Takagi friendship fun (I am definitely more interested in reading fics of this platonic rarepair now).

Summary
Unfurling back the ancient timeline in dusty file cabinets and words of passing mouths, Edogawa Conan’s permanent integration into the department was as swiftly as it was silent.
Maybe it wasn’t so astonishing as it was inevitable that things got to this point. An unstoppable force meets a very much moveable law enforcement agency only by circumstances— This, this is the circumstance.Or a joke on what Conan actually is got spun out of control in the midst of everything

Last Read: February 16, 2024 - Chapter 3
Fun Outsider POV fic of the Tokyo Police Department starting a betting pool on what Conan really is – spawning a whole bunch of wild concipracy theories. Pretty much follows the canon case-wise (as in the cases mentioned in the fic are mainly cases that actually happened in the show instead of made up) so it lets you see the cases in a different lens.
