    Summary

    An American funeral director crosses the road while thinking about coffee in 2016 and finds herself in London in the wrong century, with a messenger bag and absolutely no time to panic because panic has never solved anything.
    Her grandfather always warned her about crossroads. She thought he was being metaphorical. Turns out he wasn't.
    She has no plan, no papers, and no plausible explanation for anything she knows. What she does have is a mortician's calm that translates surprisingly well into wartime, a brain that won't stop cataloguing, and the unparalleled stubbornness of a woman who intends to survive whatever life throws at her.
    Probably.
    Warnings: Canon-typical violence & themes. Very slow burn. The author is not sorry.

    Summary

    Tea shop owner meets shinobi.
    Witch meets shadow-user.
    Woman meets man.
    Soldier meets soldier.

    Shikamaru isn’t sure what to make of the woman whose home he wakes up in. He knows her—or thought he did. But for the first time, his eyes don’t slide off her like smoke. For the first time, he can truly see her… and he’s never been so captivated.

    Hikari is a woman displaced, building a quiet life in a world nothing like the one she left behind. She never looks back. At least, she tries not to. It's peaceful for the first time in her life and she guards it fiercely.
    But now there’s a man with a chakra core that feels like soft shadows wandering her home… and he won’t leave.
    She’s not sure she wants him to.

    Summary

    “I just wish…”

    “What do you wish?”

    “I wish I could have changed it all.”

    For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?

    Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.
