Summary
In another life, Orochimaru never leaves Konoha, opting to remain within the village that equally reveres and reviles him. Fighting a bitter battle against forces within the village that are more influential and well-positioned, he finds himself gifted with one last shining opportunity: three children, a team of genin, handed to him because Konoha has no better choice. Orochimaru agrees to become a jounin-sensei for the first and the last time, taking on the next generation's Team Seven: Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, and Uzumaki Naruto.
[ A gradual exploration of the author's very liberal Naruto headcanon, with a good!Orochimaru (well, sorta good) who eventually becomes the Godaime Hokage. Lots of chakra theory, cool jutsu, in-depth backstories, character development, political intrigue, and den mother Orochimaru feels! Also featuring: BAMF baby Team 7! Be prepared to suspend your disbelief; this will be another one of my long-running intense worldbuilding AUs. Let's go have fun! ]

Summary
For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.
He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.
A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.
Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.
Grace has to make another choice.
Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

Summary
Taylor triggers earlier than in canon, with the thinker power to...understand any language.
Of course, this being Taylor, she immediately heads out and gets herself into a whole lot of trouble. Does she have a plan? Yes, but it's not always a good one.
This is a fic about pushing a 'weak' power to its absolute limits. It's also a fic about Taylor biting off way more than she can chew and then chewing anyway, consequences be damned. She might not be able to beat an average guy in a fistfight, but boy can she be a pain in the neck for anyone dumb enough to think that means they can take her on.
Updates every Wednesday.

Summary
Robby sagged a little, another tiny rush of air out. Jack pretended not to notice any of it even as it slid through him, his hypothesis gaining evidence, firming in his mind.
No, Jack didn't think anyone ever touched Robby.
He was going to change that.

A particularly tragic case has left Robby low. Jack comes over to raise his spirits, and though Robby is one secretive son of a bitch when it comes to his own feelings, everything seems like it will be okay.
Later, the unthinkable happens. The attempt leaves Robby in the hospital and Jack scrambling to make sense of it all. He would've preferred Robby shoot him stone-cold dead.

Summary
"We killed each other. Many times."
July, 1099. The First Crusade. The Siege of Jerusalem. Yusuf is trapped in the city, a volunteer soldier to help defend it against invading Crusaders. Nicoló arrived in June with a group of Genoese sailors, a volunteer priest-turned-soldier to claim Jerusalem in a holy war. Their roles in this conflict would be easier if they could sleep well, but both have uncomfortable dreams, dreams of strangers, dreams that must be an omen, drawing them together. Perhaps to kill each other, or perhaps for some other, unexplainable purpose.
(Or: another big JoeNicky origin story slow burn.)

Summary
It wasn't so bad being dead, Jean-Pierre decided eventually. He didn’t have any responsibilities, no daily drudgery to struggle with. He got to travel the world unseen, watching the years slip by as an invisible voyeur. That was nice.
Every ghost, however, needed something that tied them to the world of the living, something that kept them tethered. It could be a crumbling manse, a street corner, a train car, or a favorite childhood toy. It was always something of great importance to the dead, even if it wasn’t immediately apparent why.
Jean-Pierre haunted a person.
His father.

Summary
“Why aren’t you rowing?” A voice, coldly accusing, called out behind him. It came as if from someone sitting at the back of the boat. Nicky recognized it, but stayed gazing forwards at the horizon. Dark clouds gathered, blotchy and heavy, as if they were weighing down the entire sky until it sagged against the ocean.
“There’s no point.” Nicky confessed, gentle in spite of the bite in the other’s voice. “I am not going to outrun the storm.”
“‘No point’.” A bitter scoff. “Easy to claim for the man with nothing of his own at stake.”
“We looked for centuries.”
“And I drowned for longer.”
Nicky closed his eyes. The wind was picking up, rippling through his hair and clothes. The boat listed under its force, and the waves were going to undoubtedly follow. Behind him, Quynh stayed silent.
“Ok.” Nicky said finally, quiet acquiescence. “Guide me, and I’ll go on.”
“Row.”

Summary
He had no idea how long Quynh had left him dangling from the ceiling. Part of him was glad that she had not felt the need to drown him, the other part resented the indignity of hanging.
——
It's the least Booker can do to not betray his family again. He just wished they knew the sacrifice he was making.

Summary
The Rassler persona was never meant to be permanent. Dave Strider always intended to shed the cartoonish cowboy gimmick for a more "polished" persona. Instead, the personality's surprise popularity propelled him into a nearly decade-long reign of in-ring fame. But everything grows stale, and the brand's latest acquisition has piqued his interest.

Summary
The ghosts of Team Minato haunted him every time he tried to close his eyes, so when Kakashi saw his former team standing in front of him, his first instinct was to attack, to destroy the unrelenting nightmares that consumed him for years. He fought viciously, desperately trying to crawl his way out of the abyss, when he heard that voice again.
Everything became too much for him to bear. For him to hear his sensei’s voice again, to hear the kindness, the caring, the concern and asking him how he had been like he had just seen him yesterday.
Like he hadn’t been dead for three years.
Or: Team Minato meets Anbu Kakashi at the lowest point of his life.

Summary
If you could choose a world to be isekaied into, you probably wouldn't choose the videogame Age of Tales.
It's a painfully generic medieval RPG with a very generic "farm boy becomes a hero" storyline. Or farmgirl, if you go that route. There's some moral choices, but overall the story is very linear from start to finish, and no matter how evil you try to play it, the game inevitably ends with the chosen farmboy (or girl) saving the world. Age of Tales has a very generic cast of characters with very generic backstories, even more generic villains with very basic evil plots, and side quests right out of early free to play mmorpgs. Overall the game is just very… mid.
Upon release the game was a massive flop.
And Katie has happily sunk nearly six hundred hours into it.
