    Summary

    She remembered dying.

    What she did not expect was, after what amounted to drowning in her own fluids at thirty-two years old, was instead of whatever made up the afterlife, she opened her eyes in a world both somehow familiar as well as altogether strange.

    She’d been tired for a long time before she died.  However she’d been granted a second life, she was never going to thank anyone for it, no matter how amazing or awful it ended up being.  That said, if she ever met the reason she was sucked into the Naruto ‘verse, there would be much shin-kicking to be done.

    Summary

    You are a lone demon who defies the norm. Resolved to protect humanity, instead of bringing it to ruin, you expected to be on your own forever. You certainly never thought that you’d become an idol, of all things, forced into the limelight you avoided for so long.

    And you also never thought that humans and demons alike would fall for you.

    Summary

    At sixteen, I decided that one woefully neglected six-year-old boy—yes, that boy, with a destiny too heavy for his tiny shoulders—deserved a proper childhood. Naturally, I handled this with the subtlety of a goblin wielding a glitter cannon: I stole a Chrono-Selective Time-Turner from my family vault, defied at least three minor laws of physics, and hurled myself headfirst into the 1980s, where I promptly reinvented myself as Alex Selwyn—French accent, golden eyes, and just enough charm to convince anyone that my sudden appearance wasn’t suspicious.

    Blending in? Hah. Spoiler: I don’t. Between part-time jobs in Diagon Alley, endless doodles, perfectly timed pranks, and occasionally questioning the very concept of “legal behavior,” I discovered the revolutionary art of caring for someone unconditionally.

    And Harry? Well, that poor, unsuspecting child got a childhood that was messy, magical, and probably legally questionable in half a dozen countries, full of laughter, crepes, and chaos—the sort of childhood only a slightly reckless, world-bendingly dramatic witch like me could provide.

    Summary

    Elizabeth Stewart loved Harry Potter. She'd grown up reading the books, and cherishing that world. And she was laying in bed reading when it happened. Her room was dark and her mind was silent.
    When she awoke, she was in the body of a young teenage witch, Aliena Greengrass.

    All she had to do was avoid Tom Riddle and get back to her own world. To find a way back to her family, where no magic existed.

    If only the universe was on her side.

    Summary

    Side character syndrome: term used to describe a mindset where a person views themselves as being on the outskirts of their own life story, seeing their experiences and feelings as less significant than those of others. They often may create situations to draw attention from themselves and unto their chosen Main Character, whom they ensure is the focal point in social settings.

    Or

    An adult Potterhead gets reincarnated as Ron Weasley and decides to live life to the fullest.
