    Summary

    The woman crouches down, long hair piled up into a haphazard bun during the time he had looked away. Her eyes are level with his. “Don’t worry, Kabuto. Shimura Memorial Orphanage is a good place. If we can’t find your parents, you can stay here, okay?”

    An orphanage.

    He is in an orphanage and, he looks down at his hands with a familiar hollow ache in his chest, and he is a child.

    He is dead, and he is in an orphanage, and he is a child.

    Kabuto laughs and laughs and laughs.

    ...

    Or, a deeply unstable Root graduate with no concept of selfhood and only the most tenuous grasp of what sanity might be supposed to look like in sterile lab conditions makes friends, does his best to figure out how independence is supposed to work, terrifies a lot of responsible adults (and less responsible "peers") who really just want to help, and fends off “I can fix him” attempts on all sides (reciprocating with an “I can make him worse” aoe aura). Depressing introspection and unfortunate perspective gaps are only to be expected. This is the best Kabuto's mental health has been ... ever, and the eighth panic attack Hizashi has had this week.

    Summary

    Rumor has it that not only did the fearsome Lord Lannister become a sword swallower, but he’s now swallowing the Stranger’s sword!? Of all the gods, why does The Seven have to prove itself real through the physical presence of the god of death in the mortal realm? All the lords wish it was the Maid instead.
    The entire continent is in a tizzy.

    Cersei isn't pleased about getting a stepfather so soon after Mother's death, but she supposes that he can stay after teaching Jaime how to read and giving her all the pretty lace.
    As for Tywin, he cares naught for the opinions of the sheep; he's too busy trying to glean out more information about his new husband from said husband - like what the Stranger's bride is supposed to do and the reasons why the Stranger would deign to come down to meet mankind. Surely it can't be just for acquiring a (male) bride?

    ***

    A story where Sung Jinwoo is a S rank hunter who's still busy clearing gates on Earth and taking care of his sister but has also (accidentally and unknowingly) gotten himself engaged to a certain blonde lord on another planet.

    Summary

    "When will this end? When you've flipped the Meta Liberation Army on its head?" Chitose asked. "All of Japan? The world?"

    "I'm not trying to do that," Mineta said, shaking his head. "I'm just trying to live my life. If one man can threaten a group just by existing, then it's a bad group. What I do with my life isn't any concern of theirs, so long as I don't harm them."

    "A lot of groups would disagree with that," Chitose pointed out. "When their followers leave because of you, they think you're harmful. You're stealing their people."

    "Individuals have free will," Mineta replied. "They're not slaves. They're not property. Those groups don't own their followers. That's how this whole mess got started."

    Summary

    The Transmigration of Souls allows those who have repudiated their dharma a second chance at enlightenment. Karma being what it is, how is a soul supposed to repay debts inherited from their past life if they cannot remember their mistakes? Hatake Kakashi is a ninja, and in the time honoured tradition of his people he bargains with Fate. Gambling not with lives, but with Death, Hatake Kakashi wins a second chance. Mind and soul reborn in a new world, Obito and Kakashi find each other once again. Despite the weight of their sins and the pain of their scars, the two shinobi look forward to a life of peace. Unfortunately for their retirement, Destiny, and a certain meddling Sage, have other plans...

    The Vongola Tenth Generation had inherited the Dying Will of the First Generation. All was going as was foreseen... until a pair of ninja decided to meddle, and changed the Pattern before it could be set.
