Summary
Bijuu chakra is corrosive. Not just to the body, but also the soul. So corrosive, in fact, that it can wear down the barriers between this life and the last. Usually, this doesn't do much.
Usually, souls aren't reborn wanting to remember.

Team Seven starts as four people and ends up as nine in four bodies. It's... complicated.

Summary
The Shinigami decides he doesn't like the ending. So, like any self-respecting member of a fandom, he decides to change it.
__________
At least she knew there was an afterlife, seeing as she had some self-awareness, and wasn’t just scattered energy in the vast universe. She wondered idly what her destination was.She never got to see for herself, though, because all of a sudden something grabbed her.
There was a feeling that she imagined was much like being pulled through a rather large vat of jello, and suddenly she was face-to-face with — the Shinigami from Naruto?“Oh, good,” he said, “You’re from one of those universes. That makes explanations much easier.”
NOTE: On hiatus due to fandom switching.

Summary
Listen, Tsuna already has two mists, so it's not impossible for him to have a double set.
It would be great if Reborn would stop trying to set him up with people though. -

Summary
A place where I put extra stuff related to the main work of the series; Life is Alright and Then you Die (and That's Where the Fun Begins)
Mostly it's previous versions of the fic, or little side stories I ended up not including in the main one. (I edited/straight-out removed a lot of plot points.)
Series
- Part 2 of Snakes and Shinigami

He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.
If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?

Summary
The sun rises too early during Akaza’s showdown at the Mugen train, and he retreats to the shadows before he can finish Kyojuro off. However, when Muzan’s punishment brings back his stolen memories, his world explodes into color and emotion as he tries to relearn how to be human. And it’s possible that his newfound drive to destroy his old master is the final piece in the puzzle the corps has been looking for.

Summary
Sunny? Sanji racked his brain, searching desperately for something to connect with that name. Slowly, through the haze, he caught glimpses of grass, a homey kitchen and tangerine trees. He could picture sails and a grinning flag with a straw hat. Could hear the trill of a violin, bubbling laughter and swords being sharpened and polished. Could smell sweet perfume, meat and ocean. A ship. Sunny.
“Home…” he whispered.
---
When Sanji contracts a dangerous illness, memories of past trauma are brought closer to the surface than he ever wished for. Thankfully, his crew has no plans of letting him weather the storm alone.

Summary
Kisuke kept his distance, did what he was asked.
And now he needs to see for himself that Ichigo is fine. That Isshin was right and Ichigo is happier like this. That things are better because Kisuke stayed away.
If that’s true, then to hell with what he wants. He can live with it. He will make himself live with it.
---
*OR*
Aizen is defeated, the war is over, and Kurosaki Ichigo is powerless. According to Isshin, Ichigo is better off this way. Happier now that he doesn't have to deal with shinigami bullshit and can have a chance at a normal life.
Isshin lied. Ichigo isn't doing well at all.
Kisuke is going to fix it.

Summary
After a serious and devastating attack, the Uchiha are in desperate need of a sealmaster. Unfortunately for them, the best candidate happens to be from the Senju clan. Fortunately for them, he doesn't seem all that inclined to act like an enemy.
Which is lucky because, as it turns out, there are plenty of other adversaries making moves in Fire Country - both the clans will need to make new friends to survive.
Madara would have been content if his new husband tolerated him and helped his clan stay safe. He doesn't quite know what to do with the fact that his husband doesn't stop there.
