Summary
When Apollo is banished, the Fates interfere. Instead of falling in a dumpster, they send him back in time, with no memories and no powers, back in the womb - the womb of Mary Grayson. Dick Grayson grows up, and eventually regains his memories. The fates had claimed he had a task to complete - but how can he complete it if he doesn't know what it is? And what was the point in sending him back just to remember?
Whatever it is, Dick knows one thing for sure: he's not going to give up his family. Any of his family. (Screw the laws. Dick is going to be the best dad ever.)

Summary
When the final blow against Kaguya goes wrong, Sakura Haruno doesn’t die—she falls into a world already ending.
The dead walk. Guns rule. Children are expected to be quiet and afraid.
Sakura keeps her chakra, her medical training, and her temper. She keeps the children alive. She keeps a baby she finds in the ruins. She takes over a survivor camp that mistakes luck for leadership and calls it mercy when it hesitates.
The Walking Dead was never prepared for a shinobi who treats apocalypse like a battlefield—and family like something worth fighting for.
Crossover. Sakura-centric. Canon divergence from the quarry onward.

Summary
Hermione has her dream job as an Unspeakable in the Time Chamber. During a collaboration with the Death Chamber she is accidentally sent to the past.
A minor setback, if you must.
Of course, she will be back in her own time before anyone can notice. So far, she hasn’t taken a single day off work and plans to keep it that way.
There is only one tiny problem; she is trapped in another witch's body, and their past keeps getting in the way of Hermione’s path to the future.
Or
Sylvia Selwyn was known for being a meek and quiet witch that hid away in the shadows. Boring, some would call her, including her betrothal, or more correctly; ex-betrothal.
All the students at Hogwarts are shocked to see her back after summer with fire in her eyes and a renewed spirit.
Gone is the quiet girl, and no one is as shocked as her ex-betrothal, who thought he saved himself from a dull marriage with an even duller witch.

Summary
To become a god, one needed only two things:
1. They needed worshippers. Shrines. Lives at their disposal—mortals ready to sacrifice themselves at a moment's notice. They needed belief.
2. The second thing needed was the attention of the Fates.
Sometimes, the Fates take special care in certain strings. They weave these more carefully. Thoughtfully. Godly strings glow gold. These strings have a distinct golden sheen.
Percy Jackson achieved both of these. It doesn't matter he turned down the offer of godhood. It would come.

Summary
Maybe the fate of Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha Clan could have been changed if Itachi had just had one more family member he could trust -- someone as powerful, invested in Konoha, and devoted to the clan as him. Someone with a little extra knowledge up her sleeve.
Unfortunately for Itachi, the Uchiha's abysmal luck with siblings has given him... Kaeru.

Summary
Her client either doesn't actually know the ninja's name or (equally likely) knows that ninja of this era despise introductions, but Sakura knows the name of her new coworker: Uchiha Madara is standing in front of her, wild-haired and distinctively relaxed, looking no older than her — not quite a teenager anymore, coming into his full adult height and broad shoulders, but much younger than he had looked during the Fourth War.
Seeing him is a literal nightmare come to life, but Sakura is a professional. She bows politely and does not let her hands tremble. "I look forward to working with you."
"Likewise," Madara says, perfectly polite and yet clearly not meaning it. Clearly dismissing her, because she's a young, pink-haired, civilian woman.
Well. She'll show him.
